Quotation of the Week31 May 2008 08:20 am
This is the main reason why I abhor that phrase, “the race card” — even more than I hate the d-word.
I wish that being Black was something I could just conveniently pull out when it suited me. Because then I wouldn’t have to sweat as much if I get pulled over by deputies in rural Oregon counties. If I could keep the race card in my pocket, and make sure it doesn’t slip out when I’m handing the officer my license and registration, then life would be a lot simpler.
