I was listening to your show today and the topic was B.S. As a black man that grew up in a so call black neighborhood (NE Portland) and hung out with mostly white people around Portland, I have been checked by law enforcement for drug countless times. This has always been irritating; considering the fact I?ve never used drugs. Many times this has occurred while standing next to a white person that was holding and not checked. I watch white people walk down Alberta smoking pot or drinking, without a care while group?s of young black men get followed by cops when there?s more than four in a group. So excuse me if I don?t care about flaky Reedies.
