And thought let's roust the uppity black man and bring him down a notch, I can't think of any other reason to treat him the way they did.

It should be obvious he wasn't the first black man they've treated this way, that attitude didn't just appear out of the ether.

It was business as usual.

Add another reason I'll never go to Vegas, the first because of the felony charge to be caught with marijuana in a town drowning in booze.
