After all the cookies crumble

Sep. 15, 2003

(U-WIRE) University of Virginia -- My best friend and I were pulled over to the side of the road by a traffic cop, again. Of course it's not the first time this has happened, but this time we sat confounded by the notion that we were getting stopped while cars zoomed passed us on the highway. There was no massive sound system, no smoke billowing out the windows, no trigger that I assume normally tips off a cop to want to pull over black men in a nice ride, not that we ever had one. He assigned the stop to the fact that we were following too closely behind his patrol car, but of course, we couldn't help but get the age-old notion that our skin color had something to do with being pulled to side of the road in rural Virginia.
