It may be apocryphal - but it's full of little details that make it seem like it might have happened, however unlikely it sounds. At a minimum, it's good story-telling. I've re-read it many times.

Rather than pursuing a case against someone with a history of criminal behavior and substance abuse, Fat Albert chose to target the white guy trying to make an example of him.

Name calling. Used only by the intellectually lazy when they have no arrows left in their quivers. Must be a Democrat. TDS with no cure.
Cry harder, Nazi.
Found the racist.
Yes indeed, Braggart is the RACIST with a pervasive anti-white bias, thus making him a RACIST in the Obama mold.
