Is there a reason for the numbers?

Yes, I read in today’s newspaper, front page no less, that black drivers in Missouri are 91% more likely to be pulled over than white drivers. Could this possibly be 91% more black drivers commit traffic offenses or are there more black drivers on the street or a combination thereof? Thank you.

For further insight on this report, see the Sunday, June 16 front page of the Standard Democrat.

Stop judging people

Yes, I live here in the Sikeston area and read that ad, that article about people who don’t go to church because they are skipping to go shopping. You know what, it sounds to me that you need to mind your own business. That’s between them and God. You ain’t the judge of these people. You are not their judge, I hope you can understand that. All they got to judge you. We don’t know their situation. I think you need to pray to your Lord and get on your knees to ask God to forgive you. That’s what I think. Ain’t none of your business what people do. I don’t even go to church because I’m not able but you know what, I still pray to Jesus and he loves me. That’s all I have to say to you. Have a good day.
