/\/\ Proof that anything that black people can come up with, white people can make worse.

They've had a law like this in Riviera Beach, Fl for a few years now, too.

I should note that Riviera Beach voters approved the law, a city where 67% of the residents are black. In this case, I don't think its a racist law. Unconstitutional? Probably.

Saggy Pants? Pfft.

Try driving down the road with long hair, window down, and a Dead sticker on the back of your car.

Very valid points/distinctions, but I wonder how many of that 67% have been stripped of their voting rights.

Whether intentionally racist or not, I think a lot of people here have correctly pointed out that it will be selectively enforced in a manner that will at least seem racist.
