How Sharp Then?

by david-john-mowers

*When a white woman is victimized they'll scour the streets, fan out, stop, harass, detain, arrest any black man. Any one they can finger for the crime. They say things such as they all look alike or something to that effect.* *A black woman is abused they'll look around, see white males everywhere but they cannot find any suspects? None of them fit the description. Why is that? Yeah, that's right, it is because they all look alike! Too many of 'em. Can't arrest everyone now can we? People have rights!* *Yep,           I suppose they do...* *As long as you consider them,                                                         "people,"                                                                                  -they have rights.*

Notes

For those who bother to check..my father told me about the original T.V. media on this and I deduced the rest by a sheer enjoyment of the man. Love you AL.
