It’s an odd assertion for him to make, yes?

This is the sort of stuff that just feeds the notion that systemic racism, via widespread racist attitude, is an issue. Not sure why ajax would want to ‘make it true’ just that much more.
Perhaps so, but I don't think that ajax really believes that this was an authentic case of "being pulled over while black", do you?
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

If that was his reason for pulling him over he should be terminated even if the driver was violating an ordinance.
I guess that makes sense given the precedent set in the OJ Simpson case. Even though OJ killed his wife, OJ should be acquitted if you can prove that one of the officers who worked the case used the N word before. Maybe I should have been a lawyer. I'm starting to get the hang of how the justice system works here in America.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I mean, what is worse, Trump or someone driving a car?
Now that you mention it, I don’t think that Trump knows how to drive a car. He has a hard enough time with umbrellas.

Not only that, having been born and raised in New York, that in itself makes it quite probable that he never needed to learn how to drive a car. Given the extensive public transportation system in that city, plus the high cost of parking spaces, for most New Yorkers owning a car would be a very unnecessary and expensive liability that is much more trouble than it's worth. Added to that is that all through his life he had ready access to luxury limousines and highly paid professional chauffeurs to take him wherever and whenever he wanted to go someplace.

And all of those buttons and stalks and blinky thingies are probably way too distracting for him.
