This is a good reminder of the various bubbles I live in -- geographic, racial... okay, those two.

Appalling. I wish it were more unbelievable.

Every time I think I can't be shocked, someone steps up to prove me wrong. Evidently "computing while black" is now a thing.

How did the police know he was black from the Craigslist post when they set up the sting?

Why are you so stuck on this? How the police acted after showing up for the purchase is being questioned here, not the concept of a sting operation.

I'm not sure why you or she thinks it is a race issue at this point. He doesn't even look black to me.
