This has to be done away with!! This guy was a noted academic and well-respected, being treated like a criminal. Whoever thinks this behavior by the cops is ok in any situation is a racist. nuff said.

Man, I heard of driving while black, but sitting home while black has got to take the case. What next, working while black, they’ll be pulling brothers and sisters off the job.

Charges have been dropped… not that this makes it any less appalling.

What can be done to alleviate this situation? It happens all the time yet, very little is done about it. Now, we have a black President in the white house. Is there much anything that can be done.

Okay, and here’s the really stupid part: the “voting” on aol re:

1. Do you think race played a role in the arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr.?
No 50%
Yes, a big role 38%
Yes, a small role 12%

AND

In general, do you think police engage in racial profiling?
Yes, and sometimes it’s OK 46%
Yes, and it’s never right 31%
No 23%

This is after over 25,000 votes.

What gets me, what really, really gets me, at this time in my life, is the admission that racial profiling occurs coupled with the endorsement of it as a policy. “Sometimes its OK?” Like, when? When it’s not your race?

C’mon people, now, smile on your brother, everybody get together….

I saw this — did you read the police report? Arrgh! They arrested him to show him no black man was going to talk back to the Police on their beat, no matter who he thought he was. I’m still fuming.
