Doesn't Get My Blood Boiling

Three black girls get accused of shoplifting and held for 1.5 hours. Then they were released. This is the front page on CNN. Is this an outrage? No - it isn't.

Teenagers of all colors get pulled over by cops and accused of shoplifting all the time. Is this wrong - yes. Is it a big deal - no. These woman are mad because no one apologized to them.

Now...I can understand this being annoying, inconvenient, and if it happened everyday: unjust. But come on, folks, bottom line - who gives a shit? This isn't news any more than the time I was accused of being stoned and wasn't let into Cha, Cha, Cha - totally unjustly - because I wasn't stoned. And also - since when do bars not let in stoned people?
