If police question/detain a black person is it racism?

[violet lightning]

Well how does everyone feel now that the phone transcripts have been released and the "Beer Summit" has taken place?

The caller that phoned in the 911 call stated emphatically that
1.) she didn't know what color, race or age of the people involved, (when pressed, she said one might be Hispanic)
and
2.) She stated clearly that it was very possible that the people were the home owners since they had luggage.

I assume the police were aware of this possibility and it doesn't sound like they barged into his home bent on arresting him.

3.) Turns out that the policeman was an experienced officer and even taught classes on how not to racial profile.

A telling clip is the video taken after the beer summit, when Crowley is shown helping Gates walk as President Obama struts happily toward the cameras, oblivious to whats happening behind him.

As far as I'm concerned, there are good people and assholes. Thats the only differenciation I make. Optimistically, I think most people are good, care about others and just want to live their lives. (80-90 percent?) Hopefully, assholes only make up a small percentage of the population, but boy do they like to fuck things up for everyone.
(hey, I'm starting to sound like "Team America"!
The whole "Dicks fuck assholes" speech..)
