There was a tremendous traffic jam in Chicago recently on a major traffic artery. Traffic was backed up for miles in both the north and south bound lanes. Several men were walking back from the area where the tie-up had occured. As one man approached his car, the motorist rolled down the window and inquired about the problem. He was told that terrorists had captured Bill & Hillery Clinton, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and unless a $10 million ransom was raised, the terrorists threatened to pour gasoline on the four and set them ablaze. Several of us volunteered to seek donations. The motorist asked the volunteer, “about how much is the average donation”? “About one gallon”, said the volunteer.
My Congressman gets stopped for driving while black. Of course, if the Moony’s had their way, Congressman Davis wouldn’t even be allowed to own a car, much less drive one.
A black congressman who was issued a ticket this week after being pulled over has accused the Chicago police of racial profiling in the traffic stop.
The representative, Danny K. Davis, Democrat of Illinois, said he was driving his Mercury Grand Marquis just after midnight Monday on the city’s West Side when two police officers pulled him over and asked to see his driver’s license and proof of insurance.
When Mr. Davis asked why they had stopped him, he said, they accused him of weaving, and they ticketed him for driving left of the center line.
Mr. Davis says he did not commit any traffic violation.
“I just could not believe it,” he said Friday. “I had to conclude that race had to have entered the picture, and that the only reason we were stopped is that there were four African-Americans a little after midnight, in a car going down the street. And it really breaks my heart to have to arrive at that conclusion, but I can’t conclude anything else.”

Regardless of my personal feelings toward Congressman Davis, harassment for DWB shouldn’t occur to anyone.
