I just read a "Rude Pudit" OP on his not giving a shit about the email/server "scandal" ...

And had a life experience flash back, when Morning Joe flashed a graphic indicating that the Q found HRC's #1 descriptor is "liar" ... I thought I'd park it here, as perhaps, it will have particular resonance due to recent events.

It was 1997 (or 1998) ... 1SBM was standing on the side of the road ... handcuffed, as Tucson's finest was rifling through his vehicle, for the (apparent) infraction of being in the wrong neighborhood at the wrong time.

After an hour of standing there ... and hundreds of commuters gawking at the Black guy handcuffed on the side of the road ... Mr. Officer came over to me, turned me around, and as he was taking the cuffs off, whispered, "Okay ... we couldn't prove you did anything this time; but, we both know you you are not clean", and wished me a good evening. I can only assume that Mr. Officer had been listening to the accepted American narrative: Black Male = Guilty of Something.

It seems 20+ years of being told, on a (near) daily basis: HRC = Guilty of Something, is having an effect.

1. Thanks for the link, 1StrongBlackMan..

I'm sorry that happened to you.. and to anybody who has to go through that from assholes in authority.

I think Hillary is stronger than this.. my money is on her like it is on President Obama when it comes to the goPropaganda machine fed to America through the US media.

2. I've taken to refering to her as Hillary Lannister.

I don't know if you have seen the Game of Thrones series, but the Lannister family is depicted as ruthless and loyal only to themselves. The level of derision here toward her is often irrational and petty.

Although I can't imagine what it must be like to "walk on eggshells" for your life as an African American in these United States.

3. Did you show them your bar card?

For white people that is a great way to short circuit the process. Cops hate writing tickets for lawyers because we tend to contest them and make the cops have to work

4. A good black lawyer would not show their bar card and then sue any civil rights violating fucker into oblivion.

8. What works for white folks, frequently ...

Makes matters worse for Black folks.

Do you know what is more threatening to a white racist than a Black man? An educated and/or non-poor Black man!

7. This is a stong analogy, I had not thought in this line before. I have actually heard RW say

she must be guilty of something, so far they have spent $7 million searching for something and who knows the cost before they finally stop investigating Benghazi. Meanwhile, Congress is able to overlook true problems such as gun control, street violence, too many black people killed, stagnant wages, infrastructure falling apart and these supposedly smart people are investigating Benghazi and focusing on Hillary's emails. Yes, they would like to get into the emails to get more crap started about the Clinton Foundation.

Sorry you had a problem with the police, I also had a bad experience, I was arrested and taken to be booked and the next day the state police was trying to take this moment back. I am a white woman but it was just an a$$hole cop trying to make a point.

9. Wow

That is an incredible analogy sir, and could only come from someone who knows.
