There's Something Wrong With My Head. Again.

"If you speak with nine out of 10 officers of color they would tell you that when they hear sirens in their head they are thinking: ‘I hope these cops know that I’m one of the good guys."

~The New York Times, May 31, 2009

This has me worried because I always hear sirens in my head and it's unclear to me that I'm one of the good guys. But I do know I'm black.

    I say wear a "I'm one of the good guys" t-shirt
    It worked for Stupid of 'I'm with Stupid"

    What does the siren in your head sound like?

    Is it the French one?

    I might be a blonde, black person, too.

    Well, maybe not.

    It's hard to say.

    I might be black, but my mom won't really tell me for sure.

    Crap!
