But you know how we is. Slammed with a $75 ticket and a date in traffic court on Dec. 28, the 66-year-old congressman with a few past missteps of his own ain't havin' it. "There was just no reason I could conjure up other than the fact that there were four black people in a car," he said. With traffic court matters only heard by a judge, Davis may just want to pay up, sit his butt in a 1 day traffic school class, and call it a day. That's not to say that 59 percent of African-Americans believing they've been racially profiled in traffic stops by police is not a legitimate beef. But in this case, maybe Davis should just get a slice of humble pie to go along with his turkey dinner. [Source]
