Was it foolish of Clarence to speed and get a ticket in the first place? Yes, it was. And it was probably also exceedingly bad judgment on his part to attempt to enter the house—regardless of whether there was proof inside of a change of date—after the policemen instructed him not to. I cannot dispute that. But try as hard as I can—and I have tried—I fail to see any way that this could have happened to any of our white neighbors, in their own homes and over an infraction so venial as a traffic ticket. It is simply unimaginable.
