    What are the odds that the teen is darker than a peach color?

      I’m betting he fired without even looking then realized what he had done.

      Hard to say. The kid was driving an Audi S4 so they likely have money.

            That’s true.

            But to insinuate that the person being in an Audi is even a factor in determining the person’s race is kind of rude. Like, “They were shot, which is a ‘black’ thing, but they had an Audi, which, you know, means they could have money and we know black people couldn’t have money, so who knows what race they could be!”

              well was it a white Audi? because you know a black man is rich when everything he owns is white.
