It’s because I’m white, isn’t it?
Louis CK has a great bit about being white, and he hit it dead on.
I got pulled over today by a Coppell police officer. Speeding? Check. Talking on the cell phone while speeding? Check.
Respectfully, I told the truth, that I, “Really didn’t have a good reason to be speeding”. (Not like when I got pulled over in 1995, with a baby* not in a car seat, speeding, with a priest license and got smart with the cop, “Because I was in a hurry?” – and I still got let off then too)
He asks me what I do, and I tell him, then he lets me go with a warning.
Now……I’ve heard……..that it’s pretty rare that you’ll be let off in Coppell.
I am one lucky (white) sunofdabitch.
It’s also a good thing that I was in the work Honda Element and not my car.
If it had been my car? Ticket for sure.
Tomorrow I get Lo-Jack installed, and I can momentarily stop stressing out about leaving my car anywhere for extended periods of time.
And because it’s such a great bit:
* Edit * I just noticed a total continuity error during his last line. Obviously filmed more than once…….See if you can catch it!
*not mine by the way
