Criticism of The Concept
On October 31, 2007, black conservative Thomas Sowell devoted an editorial column to arguing against the common claim that police officers stop black drivers because of their race.
Sowell refers to the book Are Cops Racist? by secular conservative advocate Heather MacDonald. According to Sowell, MacDonald examined the claim that police officers pull black drivers over because they are black, and found that the empirical evidence did not support the claim. Sowell claims that the mainstream media has ignored this book and its evidence.
