What do you call a Black man with a Phd.? Nigger! I guess even Henry Louis Gates Jr. is not immune from racial profiling. Just goes to show you that if Barack Obama were not President, even he could fall victim to a racist cop on a power trip.
The south used to employ Night Riders and Paddy Rollers to patrol the roads looking for runaway slaves. If slaves were caught without papers from their master they would be beaten and sometimes killed. Now they use Police.
Some people think there are two types of people in the Black community. Hard working Blacks and Niggers. Even some Black people have bought into this theory (i.e. Chris Rock). As the old civil rights workers used to say " we might have come over in different ships, but we're in the same boat now". Sorry Dr. gates had to learn the hard way.
Boston Police have always been racist. I guess a Black man having the nerve to say he lives in Cambridge was just a little too much.
