In simple terms; yes, but it should not be that way. First of all you've got all the paranoids who jump all over cops and vilify them at any chance they get. (Warning: some people might be offended by this comment.) Also, there is an unspoken guilt, over slavery, being forced on the country. Some people have a chip on their sholder and think that society in general owes them a debt. I say that everyone should be judged by what they do, not what their ancestors have done.
If the black professor should've taken into account that the cop doesn't automaticly know who's a good guy and who's a criminal. When the cop asked for ID, he should've simply shown him his ID. That way, the cop could see that the professor indeed belonged there, and that would be solved.
