    And just another reminder that just because it’s legal, doesn’t mean it’s moral.

    A black man encountering Washington police in the 80’s living long enough to be arrested? I don’t believe it!

      To them if you are famous or have money, then you aren’t black. OJ Simpson always said, ‘I am not black I’m OJ’.

    Was he charged, and what was the verdict?

    So many questions with answers that appear to be racism.

      He and about 47 others were arrested for being too close to the South African embassy. Charges were dropped.
