Racial Profiling
Has anyone ever taken the Good/Bad Black/White test? I shocked myself with my associations the first time I took it. I try to take it once every few months to keep myself humble. Why do I bring this up? Because I’ve been batting the idea of racism in the ranks of the PPD around in my head recently.
I’d like to ask the question: what is the ethnic makeup of the Portland Police Department? The answer to that might (and quite honestly, might not) give us some insight as to why our cops stop Hispanics and African-Americans far more frequently than the crackers.
I just want to make it clear that I’m not alleging anything; I just want to know if there might be a correlation between the makeup of the police force and the numbers we saw recently.

I took that test the week that they were using Barry Bonds and Babe Ruth as the subjects. Which messed up my scoring a bit because I am a SF Giants fan and think Barry is a bum whose exorbinate salary is hurting the team.
You should read a book called Blink by Malcom Gladwell.
I particularly like the way you show your racist preferences by refering to caucasions as crackers after showing a sensitive regard for minority races. NOT!!!
After the cracker referance I can not take anything else about racism from you seriously.
Thank you for ruining your own point with racism.
