Toledo Firm Develops "White Guy" Masks For Black Motorists
(Toledo, OH) Noting the rise in racial profiling a Toledo firm is introducing a line of masks for black motorists called the "White Guy" line.
Creative Strategies founder Kevin Richardson said that the masks will likely come in very handy.
"The whole "driving while black" phenomenon is now a thing of the past," he said. "Cops will see that you are a White Guy, and will allow you free passage, even in the whitest of suburbs."
Richardson believes the White Guy mask has other uses.
"If your car ever breaks down, how many people are going to stop and help some black dude? Answer: None," he said. "They will probably think you are just trying to jack their car. With the White Guy mask, you are ten times as likely to have a Good Samaritan stop."
Catching a cab will also be easier with the mask, said Richardson.
"We know cabbies will fly right by a brother if they think they see a white fare ahead," he said. "With the White Guy mask, not only do you get the cab, but you can pull it off and smile at his racist Pakistani ass."
