I have to admit, that was way out of line. I think most police take it one step too far when it comes to anything to do with a person of a different race. CNN stated you said "there's a reason why you don't hear about prominent white people arrested in their homes: because it doesn't happen." That quote was off CNN's internet site. You need to be careful. You didn't have to use Prominate in your statement. That sounds like you might be categorizing people by how much they make, which is another type of prejudice.c67302https://www.blogger.com/profile/06968199075240588588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529863503637991999.post-28236290221474624472009-07-22T11:56:01.618-04:002009-07-22T11:56:01.618-04:00You stated (CNN quote)that this wouldn't happe...You stated (CNN quote)that this wouldn't happen to a white person of similar standing and I agree. The white professor would have stepped onto the porch and continued the conversation with the officer and thanked him for checking on the home. Only a black man would see the police response as some kind of intrusion and affront to his blackness. Educated my patootie. A PHD in ghetto, maybe, but not educated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
