If this doesn't attest to two different realities in America, nothing else will.

By comparison, (anecdotally) I was told that a cop let a white kid go free instead of hauling him in for a DUI when the kid was quick enough to show the cop his application to college. I see that a lot around here. There is definitely a "who needs it more" mentality, and by "who needs it more" they really mean, who has the financial resources to make the most of the breaks/favoritism they are given.

Does not bode well for poor whites or minorities in general based on their perspective.
