There are thousands of workers down there, and to enter the site you have to go through armed checkpoints," he says," one guy will ask you for your ID and another guy standing two feet from him watching the whole procedure will stop you and put you through it again."

"If you are my color," James says, pointing to his rich ebony colored skin, "you can see the pure racism on their faces."

My cousin is light skin and he gets a lot of hassles. "When we walk through check points it's usually three of us and we all have the same union issue and state ID's, but they let us pass and pull him aside. He and I have the same last name but that doesn't matter; sometimes they detain him for ten minutes or more just checking out his ID. But while they be checking us out to the max, always calling in supervisors to double check our ID's, the white boys just flash their cards and walk on through."
