Of 629 convenience stores in the six-county area in the sting, 80 percent are owned or operated by whites, according to the A.C.L.U.'s court filing, but fewer than 1 percent of the stores in the sting are white-owned or operated. The filing said the clerk at the only white-operated store was known widely as a methamphetamine addict whose husband was in prison for making the drug. None of the Indians charged are accused of using or making methamphetamine.

The A.C.L.U. brings to light a little racist mischief in Georgia law enforcement. It is a reminder that this sort of racism is not something relegated to history, and that the A.C.L.U. is not just an extremist pinko organization as conservative Republicans would have it. It is a story that charges the blood in the morning, though the chill then follows.
