How about falling asleep on the side of the road in a Camaro and having the cops roust that person. Glad to know that is objective proof of systemic racism. Maybe you should tell Officer Torres that that cracker peckerhead was me. Want his number so you can preach that act of racism to him?

Ummm... that's not even remotely the same thing but cool story, bro.

If you put your preconceived view of the world on hold, you just might note that it is.

Really?

Instance 1: A black graduate student at Yale falls asleep in a common area of her dorm while working on a paper. A white student finds her asleep in the common room and calls the police. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/09/us/yale-s...index.html

Instance 2: Tanq falls asleep on the side of the road. The cops find him and roust him (presumably to check on his well-being and to make sure he wasn't drunk/otherwise a public risk).

You find those two situations equivalent?
