Why was the first thing out of the profs mouth a charge of racism? And why on his website after the fact did he continue to make it an issue that he was black?

Why did the cop over react? Was he a racist after all? Is he just a rogue cop that won't take you know what from anyone? Or is it just blacks he won't take anything from?

BTW this was no Rodney King incident. The good Prof was not slammed to the floor or made to take a felony stop position. He was not beated nor as far as we know was he abused verbally..
The first thing out of the professor's mouth was crying "racism" because that is what a generation of black Americans have been force fed from their so called leaders.

They do their race a disservice by being so reactionary, racist, and prejudiced. When they act as he did they are the ones prejudice as they assume they are being asked to do something because they are black.

Black folks need to take personal responsibility for some common sense and rational thinking. You can't pull the race card every time you feel like it.

Was the cop supposed to ignore disorderly conduct because the man was black? Are we to exclude black folks from being arrested for disorderly conduct because they just aren't capable of restraining themselves? Or do we excuse them because of past wrongs? To me it is insulting to make excuses for inexcusable behaviour.

I am so tired of the chip on many Black Americans shoulder that I could throw up. Your great, great, great Grampa was a slave 150 years ago now get over it, get an education, get married before having your six children, and get a job! Start emphasizing the importance of education, family, work ethic, etc in your culture and you can lift yourself up from poverty as so many destitute Vietnamese boat people did who came to America with nothing but the shirt on their backs and have made great lives here.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
