Black-motorist, traffic stops: a study
*A [thug]'s first words to a Black driver
signal how the car
stop will go.
A Black driver is more likely to face being searched,
handcuffed, or arrested when a police officer's first words are
commands rather than a greeting or an explanation.*
The study shows that cruel actions of the thugs are not a response
to anything that the black driver does. They flow from prejudice.
The article linked to above displays symbolic bigotry by
capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry,
capitalize both words or neither one.) I denounce bigotry, and
normally I will not link to articles that promote it. But I make
exceptions for some articles give important information about racism.
That article is one of the exceptions.
