Saw that headline the other day and went to their site to see what it all about. From what I could tell they were saying people of color were 7 times more likely to be racially profiled while driving in Mo. Not sure where they came up with those numbers as nothing there to back up that claim. My thought was, if people of color are committing 7 times the number of crimes then good.

It's going to be interesting to see what the black people who own businesses or are employed by companies that live off tourism think about an organization that's "supposed" to help them instead is causing people to stay away.

They will understand..it's a safety issue. It's not always about the dollar.

What they are really saying is that screaming racism to get free money doesn't work so well there.
