hat a thrill it was to see both Phil Jones and John Young whining side by side as separated duos in Hays Free Press last week.
These both, who disdain conservatism to its core, were once again decrying the injustices of America in race and the political process. Reading the OP page from left to right, our champion of uncovering racial inequality, Phil Jones, decries the white privilege of having little fear that “whities” feel when detained by the police as opposed to the “fear for their lives” blacks (no mention of Latinos here) harbor in an equivalent situation. Well, maybe, just maybe, the advice of a black comedian I heard made sense. I paraphrase: When pulled over by the police, don’t get arrogant,combative, and disrespectful. ‘Yes sir’ and ‘no sir’ have always worked very well in the past. And after a few years of homies not driving around with drugs in their car and automatic firearms still smoking from shooting at bystanders and their houses, maybe the police just might begin to leave you alone.
