Racism against african americans in massachusettes? no way, LOL. Reminds me of the Departed line, where DiCaprio says "youre a black guy in my boston, u dont need my help to be f*cked". Sad that this kinda still happens everywhere. Definately hard to say having not been there or anything. I tihnk the real racism issue is the phone call that the police got about the potential break-in. Theres no way it couldve been a black family trying to get into their house... it had to be a break in, becase they were black?? Thats totally out of line, and i wonder why thats not getting any attention. If that call had never come in, there would have never been a problem! But the fact that this guy was the PA expert on racial profiling, and he acted with such poor judgement is ridiculous. Seems a common thing in this country to appoint someone to an office which is the complete antithesis of their capabilities or personality... sigh.
