Was the spitter also a black guy? I have had a few incidents myself. One was sort of funny, I unknowingly wandered into Oakland from Berkeley one time and someone exclaimed "hey look, a white guy!" and I realized I had passed over an invisible border. Another time I was driving in my city late at night:

"what seems to be the problem officer?"

• you were speeding

Nope, I don't think I was speeding sir.

-you didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign

I am pretty sure I did come to a complete stop at the stop sign because I saw you sitting right there

-Ok, well what are you doing here?
(this is because I am white )

I live here, right around the corner.

-Oh, OK, have a nice night
