A little story if you dont mind. I once owned a business. One day myself and a white employee were going to a client's home in a city called Livonia (Mi). We were driving down a main street going west. A police car was going east. The cop looked over at us as we passed. I told my white employee that we're about to get pulled over. Sure enough, the cop whipped a u-turn, hit his lights, and pulled up behind us. My employee was a little shaken and asked, what did you do, Mr. Ross? I said, nothing. The cop asks for the usual. I asked him, "Why did you stop me?" He said your brake lights are out. My employee blurted out, "That’s Bull $h*t Mr. Ross!!! How did he see your brake light while he was driving towards us?" The officer saw my fire department badge when I gave him my driver's license and didn't pursue his ruse any further and let me go. He was fishing. Hoping to find a black guy driving dirty. When the cop pulled away, we checked my brake lights, and they were fine. I told my employee, "You've just witnessed, "Driving While Black." It's a real thing.
