Man sails home-made submarine near cruise ship in New York

An artist builds a submarine out of wood and sails it within spitting distance of the Queen Mary 2, a passenger cruise ship in the Red Hook bay in New York city.

The submarine is a replica of a submarine that tried to blow up an oceanliner during the Revolutionary War.

The police catch the guy and his two friends who are helping to tout this large, rusty looking mechanism out to the cruise ship using a rubber raft. They are very close to the ship when intercepted by the police.

The main guy, Duke Riley, was charged with minor citations -- for violating the ship's security zone. The other two weren't charged at all. The police commissioner described the men as "three adventuresome individuals" involved in"marine mischief."

Best believe if they were any other race or even if their tans had been too dark, they would not have been described as mere mischief makers. They would not have gotten off with one minor citation amongst the three. And the press would have emphasized that the man purposefully built a replica of a ship that was used in an attempted bombing of a British cruise ship in 1776.

If these men were brown, they would probably still be under interrogation as to their motives. They would definitely have received prison sentences. They would surely be labeled terrorists -- despite the fact that their craft was built of wood and the most dangerous item inside the vessel was a can of beer.

They may have even been shot first -- questions asked later.

Brown people -- don't try this in the U.S.A. There are things only white people can do.
