Nat Hentoff is stepping very gingerly here. Hard to tell what he’s trying to say.

Good point but shhhh! Don’t say that too loud, it interferes w/their propaganda. IIRC, Crowley, the Cambridge cop or his dad voted for BO. What do they do w/the ‘hate whitey’ mindset that they were brought up with?

As for blacks' encounters with police nationally, in 1995, Henry Louis Gates Jr. (before he became a household name) wrote in the Oct. 23 New Yorker magazine: "It's a commonplace that white folks trust the police and black folks don't. Wrong Mr.Gates, I trust no one.

Not all of us believe that. I don’t believe that and neither do my (black) friends.

Talking about race as if skin color mattered is just taking us back to the bad old days of Jim Crow. These Liberals want us back in the 1950's. I say No. I urge these throwback Progressives to step up to at least 1963 and actually listen to Martin Luther King's great speech about a color blind society where people are judged by the content of their character.
We've got to stop saying "Race, race, race, race". The people who do that ARE the problem. Play the race card -- lose the game.

There are ‘racist’ in this nation, they now run the political and educational ‘scientific methodology’ pillars of our society. And their chickens are coming home to roooooost. They apparently need their ‘religious’ component to finish off their taking over our economic pillars.... Bama said they have a partnership with their ‘god’ to make life and death decisions.
It is more than sickening how so many peoples under these GODless minds that have been squandered.

I wish that guy would shave! Get’s to be governor and he’s still b^tc*ing!
To: Paisan
The essence of a non-racial society is that those who violate the law get stopped, whether they are white or black. Being black does not make you immune from charges of violating the law. And loudly accusing a cop of racism isn’t going to make you immune, either.

And on CNN, Colin Powell chimed in with his advice to black children: "When you're faced with an officer who is trying to do his job and get to the bottom of something, this is not the time to get in an argument with him. I was taught that as a child." Wow, funny thing. I was taught to be respectful to police officers as a child.

"...In the same article, Gates added that "blacks - in particular black men - swap their experiences of police encounters like war stories." Almost as soon I got to know and hang out with black jazz musicians decades ago, I heard a lot of those war stories..."
Well, there you go. It's all because of those pesky, oppressive cops. I mean hell, everyone knows what fine, upstanding, model citzens those Jazz Musicians are.

blacks want us teach all created equal while they continue to teach hate. its been that way all the time. racism is a business for profit.

Same here, and I'm white. Cops don't like smartasses.

Not one of Hentoff's better columns.
Apparently, Cambridge, Mass., police sergeant James Crowley missed that issue of The New Yorker...This postgraduate education for police officers...
Uh, Nat, Crowley TEACHES such 'postgraduate' education on avoiding racial profiling. Sometimes, it is just the fault of the other person, not the cop.

Isn’t Nat Hentoff a PBS liberal?
What he says doesn’t cut any ice with me.

Clearly, Mr. Giuliani remains unteachable on this subject. As I reported during his dramatic mayoral career, none of his predecessors since 1958 (when I began covering City Hall) had so alienated black New Yorkers by urging his police to engage in large-scale stop-and-frisks of predominately black residents without charging them with a crime. Hentoff has a point here - it is a violation of basic rights to frisk someone on the street without any probable cause. But, then again, Rudy has always been an authoritarian control freak when it comes to the Bill of Rights.

broad brush I painted with. Here is more clarity. Anyone who refers to the mother of their child as a baby momma, be they white, black, yellow, purple or green, should have their own society and leave us to ours.
I know several black business folks, doctors, and even politicians (Allen West for one, who will have my vote for whatever office he runs for) who do not look at skin color, nor blame everyone for their lot in life. It is just it seem the majority of black folks do blame and hate and race bait and work very hard to fit into the stereotypes that exist (stereotypes would not exist if no one fell into them).
I am not perfect, but I am NO racist, and I don’t care what color you are, you need to get off your butt, off the govt teat, and make a life for yourself and your family. Anyone who does that is ok in my book.

Good idea but they would still would be b*tc^ing. They need a scapegoat even though they make it to the top because they grew up w/the 'hate whitey' mindset.
And the 'hate whitey' churches continue the teaching. When they meet their Maker, their lying lifestyle will be exposed.

I was taught that as a child." I'm not sure why Mr. Henthoff is calling this "black parents'" advice ... it sounds like good, common sense to me. Is he perhaps unable to get past the fact that Colin Powell is a black guy?

Why dont we just re segregate?
I think we're already there. Blacks have their own organizations for everything, (ex: the Black Congressional Caucus).
