prof's right about ripping on fox news commentators, it's kinda lame at this point stewart. that said, the thing with hannity was hilarious, because that wasn't ripping on someone's opinion but rather their behavior. how many times are you pulled over that this has become your routine?
race is an issue. i don't know that it's about black people looking like thugs but more that people don't like things that are different since different scares them. and even if they reason about it, humans are almost all emotion and it's hard to move past those instincts. when shit like this happens: thugs gone wild... it just reinforces things at a subconscious level

My advise to everyone including minorities is don't put yourself into situations that place you in front of the police saying "my hands are up, don't shoot".
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.
