Heck my dad grew up in Chicago. Everything from small stuff like handing the cop you license wrapped in a buck (a long time ago) to breaking and entering by the cops.

This was back about 25 years ago when I was hard up after a nasty divorce.
I tell you it takes a lot of talent and ingenuity to nigger rig stuff.
Things are much better now.
Now when my car needs work I take it to the shop and say "Fix It" and hand them my Mastercard just like a white person.

Glad you done learned

I thought the proper phrase was 'jury rigged'. Like Ferguson?
I think those rigging days are almost gone.
