Thanks, Saul. It is what it is. Life's positives do outweigh the negatives. Most people, even policemen, are good people.

What the hell were you driving while black for? Of course you got pulled
over, man! LOL. Seriously, though, I'm sorry you had to go through that kind of crap, growler, truly. Speaking as a member of the oppressive majority, we can be be some prejudiced asses when we want to be. But you did handle it well. And you never know what people are thinking, growler. They could have had an ulterior motive and were waiting for an excuse to escalate the situation. I often wonder when or even if we're ever going to get beyond all that childish melanin (or lack thereof) classification thing. Getting rid of all the ignorance sometimes seems like such an insurmountable obstacle, my friend. Don't let it get you down, though. It really isn't worth it. Screw 'em!! Enjoy the car, man!!
