Two men walk into a drug store. Those two men are you and I.

We walk out at the same time, but the theft control device at the exit buzzes, stopping us both because we are law abiding citizens.

There are two Black cops in the store.

I am happy to place a bet on which of the two of us will get more scrutinized. Hell, I may even just be told to keep going on my merry way. Maybe I'll glance your way as the Black cops frisk you and I head out to my next errand.

Oh, by the way, no worries. The machine just malfunctioned and we both left the store unscathed. But it's a good thing you grabbed your receipt from the cashier on the way out.

By the way, I love your writing for its honesty and overall brilliance, despite my wager.
