Racism of the day: white dude disguises himself as a black dude to rob banks

Because simply putting on a president's mask is so 90s.

A white bank robbery suspect who police say wore an elaborate mask that made him appear to be a black man was described by a judge today as a "master of disguise" who needs to stay locked up.

Police said Wednesday that the pock-faced black man with no facial hair caught on surveillance cameras robbing four banks and a CVS store in 3½ hours April 9 is actually a 30-year-old white man by the name of Conrad Zdzierak.

"He wore what Im calling a Hollywood quality mask", Springdale police Lt. Michael Mathis said. 'These things cost $600-$700." (Youtube)
