So many truckers have racist views because truckers are people, too. Everybody, and I do mean everybody, is racist to one degree or another. I think you'll find that I try very hard to respond to the post rather that the poster. When someone posts something intelligent I'll respond in kind. When...

Not sure if I agree with the use of the word "rogue" here, since some of the most admired black athletes by black youth aren't rogue at all. But when you look at the black role models, they tend to be blacks who are "successful while being black." You don't see a lot of black role models who had...

That's an utterly ridiculous statement. A thread or a handful of threads on race, or religion, or politics in The Soapbox Forum is a teeny tiny fraction of what this site is. If you want to learn about expedite trucking, The Soapbox ain't the forum to spend your time reading. You should also...

The difference is so stark and obvious it's comical (albeit incredibly frustrating for blacks, I'm sure). Post sporting event rioters and looters are virtually always described as fans being overly rambunctious, as a celebration that got out of control, as (college) kids doing what kids do. When...

Huh? What? Huh? We? They? Huh? I just said. "I love it when white people talk about black people problems, especially when [white people] think [white people] know how to solve [the problems of black people]." Are you trying to say that we as white people don't know whether or not blacks can...

I love it when white people talk about black people problems, especially when they think they know how to solve them.

We've all seen the rather hilarious videos of traffic stops and border checkpoints where the cops' actions and attitudes change dramatically the instant they find out they're being recorded. But the reverse is also true. And in some police jurisdictions there have been as many as 80% fewer...

Playing a little fast and loose with with Forrest there, aren't ya?

Well, first, if the cop had told the kid to drop the gun as Tude suggests, that would certainly explain why the kid reached for the gun in his waistband to get it so he could drop it. But that's not what happened. According to the police, sometime during the infamous 1½ to 2 seconds of pulling...

Probably not.

I think I laid out pretty well in Post #6 the likely scenario of what the cop knew, which was what his dispatcher had told him. Still, even if the situation was exactly what he thought it was, namely, a 20-year old black male pointing a gun at people, the 20-year old black male still hadn't done...

You're allowed to post your own phone number. Your carrier may be able to help, since they'll know where their other trucks are and where they're headed. I've hit a deer on several occasions where no blood or fur was left behind. The one time blood and fur was left was the one time the...

And, of course, 12-year olds are always going to faithfully abide by what they are taught by their parents. It's a $20 toy pellet gun. He could have gotten it anywhere, including finding it in the park near the Youth Center. The kid was shot 1.5-2.0 seconds after the cop car stopped. It's...

Tennis Ball Yellow would have been a better name than Safety Green, I think.

At least the Galopagos Blue is blue and the Safety Pink is, you know, pink. :D
