Ed, when you live in the inner city and you are African-American you get a little bit sick of these ignorant white police officers having authority over you. I was driving to Shop Rite the other day; I have a Mercedes Benz. This Ewing police officer almost broke his neck trying to see if my car was legitimate. I want to recommend a book called “Breaking the Curse of Willie Lynch.” I guarantee it will give you a whole new perspective on race.

We clearly have a long way to go. In the meantime, we’ll add the book to the BackTalk Recommended Reading List. —Ed. Note
