Ferguson's Days of Unrest Expose Stark Reality of a Segregated Society.

One white resident says about black drivers who get stopped: "Tires gone, lights out, no insurance, pieces of junk, that's why."

Perhaps it is true that black residents of Ferguson tend to have cars that are nearly junk, and leave things unrepaired. I wonder why. Perhaps because they don't get enough work, or their unemployment benefits were cut off, or they get paid minimum wage which is worth less and less, or they were victims of fraudulent foreclosure. Or their relatives have these problems, and they have to help their relatives rather than get a nice new car.
