driving while black

Driving While Black (DWB) is the name given to the non-existent "crime" of being a black driver, and is generally a racial profiling employed by many police forces. It is a parody of the real crime driving while intoxicated.

It refers to the idea that a motorist can be pulled over by a police officer simply because he or she is black and then charged with a trivial or perhaps non-existent offense.
"The only reason the police pulled him over was because he was driving while black."
