The Atlanta Journal-Constitution described Dunn as a “model citizen.”
So it was to Dunn’s surprise when he was stopped by police officers for having “the characteristic of people transporting drugs and guns” last Friday. Dunn, who is a 36 year-old black man
Meanwhile, undoubtedly a large number of middle-aged white guys with tinted windows, texting on their cell-phones and not wearing seatbelts drove slowly on by rubber-necking at the scene...unbothered.

Warrick Dunn is a lucky man.
Geez. Warrick Dunn may well be the most righteous human being to ever play in the NFL (as well as being the son of a police officer killed in the line of duty!). If he can get pulled over for DWB (in metro Atlanta, at that!), then it can happen to any minority.
Driving while black is still cause for being pulled over in the South. Some things have not changed since my youth. On the other hand, he was not immediately thrown in jail or lynched, some things have changed.
what if drug runners start using minivans?
He wasn't jailed, tased or shot dead, so this proves that USA USA Murka Awesome #1
