Now Our Scholars Are Being Targeted?

News on the arrest of Henry Louis gates Jr.  What does it mean when scholars of color become targets? Not that I think the police officers were educated enough to realize who the man was-I am hard pressed to give them that much credit-but why not give the alleged criminal your name and badge number? This is a perfect example of  why the colorblind theories that whites want to espouse simply don’t work.   Even Gorgias couldn’t get me to believe that if he were white, he would have been arrested just the same.
