Backing Bush While Black
Haitian-born Etzer Jerome was fined $500 and had his license suspended three weeks — a loss of some $5,000 — simply because, he says, he committed a new kind of infraction: Backing Bush While Black.

Read the rest. I specially like the part where the white Kerry supporter lectures the black cabby on what it means to be black.
