JOGGING WHILE BLACK

[Ski at 1SKY6]

Some southern law enforcement have had a long tradition of abusing their power against people they hate. I remember driving from Phila to Miami long before I-95 was completed. Simply having a "yankee" license plate on your car was reason enough to be stopped and detained, accused of speeding 2 mph over the posted 25 mph limit through town and issued an enormous fine. All this taking place while "good Olde Boys" would speed by. Some drinking and waving open containers and sometimes while standing in the backs of their pickup trucks. This sorry case is a vestige of that antebellum southern tradition and a resentment of blacks being "free" and yankees who "freed" them.
