That's my point exactly. Telling me he was black would not help me discern from any of the thousands of black geezers about. What purpose does this nugget of info serve here? Why did we even need a description of the perp? Are we going to form a posse and go in search of vigilante justice.

Anyway, either you get it or you don't won't flap my gums about it anymore.

Fuck me, he wasn't asking for his DOB and shoe size, just what he looked like. Exactly the same if he was blond; "He was a blond geezer"
