I hardly think that through one circumstance, we can label racial profiling "dead" or not.
I'll be honest, I haven't read much about this case. But I did find Obama calling the police actions "stupid" tonight, to be a little over the line. And are we only hearing about this because it is some prominent black scholar? What if it was just some random black guy, and not someone famous?
Ok, I'll stop now before I get myself into trouble. I'll also go read up on the story more.
