    Here's the actual quote: "many of them black".

    Did you bother to read beyond that point? Those that were not black were travailing with someone who was or was biracial.

    I see they pulled over many black people, but unless it says "exclusively" then I'll continue to believe it's more about money than racism.

    Still, something seems very wrong there.

    Sure, but it's about corruption, not racism.

    I'm sure we all agree that this is probably a corrupting use of power, but what are these people doing with 4-6k in cash on them?

    And if they have 6k in cash, doesn't it cost less than that to hire a lawyer to debunk false money laundering charges?

    What am I missing here?

    This particular town is only a few miles away from several casinos in Shreveport and runs between them and Houston

    Then I guess it's just a coincidence that they only pulled over black people, people travailing with a black person in the car, and the occasional bi-racial person. :rolleyes:

    Then I guess you just happen to believe everything you read. I'll ask again, show me where every single car that was pulled over had a black person in it.

    Try reading the fucking article, the lawyer contacted 40 victims and all but one was black and that person might have been the white spouse of a black person.

    The ironic thing to me is that if you're going to drop the racist card, wouldn't you think that targeting african-americans for extortion who are leaving casinos in the deep south is probably one of the stupider ways to make money?

    Why don't you two tell me why the victims are so disproportionately black, besides that whole racism thing.
