Stopped 7 times in one year? Must be a bad driver
Asked for his ID? Mustve been looking shady
Calls from Supervisors apologizing? Must've been a "pressured" apology
I think that covers most of it
Pretty stupid theme here CC. First of all -- there's only TWO black Senators. So what is the significance of him being the only GOP black senator.. Other than you hate his guts for his views and principles?.
Sorry Flacal- I don't think you are being entirely honest here.
First of all this is news because he is a black Senator speaking of his experiences as a black man.
Secondly this is significant as a GOP black senator because he is a conservative who is speaking against the conservative meme that calls the Black Lives Movement 'racist'.
Finally- why doesn't anyone want to actually address what Senator Scott said?
Over the course of a year in office, the 50-year-old Republican Senator says he was stopped seven times, the “vast majority” of which were for “nothing more than driving a new car in the wrong neighborhood or some other reason just as trivial.” He also detailed the similar experiences of his brother, a sergeant major in the U.S. army, and one of his former staffers.
“I have felt the anger, the frustration, the sadness and the humiliation that comes with feeling like you’re being targeted for nothing more than being just yourself,” Scott said, according to Politico. “Recognize that just because you do not feel the pain, the anguish of another, does not mean it does not exist.”
Why doesn't anyone want to acknowledge what he actually said of his own personal experiences?
