While I was in Akron last weekend I saw on the news that the mayor of North Randall is saying that "pay before you pump" is racist. Apparently North Randall is a really quiet town, if this is all the mayor has to worry about.
I'm not going to spend a lot of time pointing out how stupid this is. You and I both know that people will drive off without paying if they have the chance, regardless of race. But this 'tard thinks that somehow blacks are being racially profiled. Sorry, Chief, when a black guy gets pulled over for driving around in a mostly-white neighborhood, that's racist. Gas-station managers trying to keep everybody and his brother from running off with their gas is good business. (I wonder if he complains because the local McDonald's makes him pay at the first window but won't give him his food until he gets to the second window.)
Just goes to show ya: You don't have to be bright to get into politics. Hell, if this guy gets any dumber he could be president.
