 The police were responding to a break-in in progress, and when they ask this so called racism expert for ID, he gives them a hard time and calls it racism. So let me get this straight. You want the police to treat an unidentified break-in suspect with respect and courtesy... Yeah.. that’s gonna work real well.
“Excuse me, we don’t mean to intrude, but we see the door is broken in… do you live here? Oh you do… ok… have good night”
First of all, let’s consider that most break-ins reported are real and dangerous. I’m gonna estimate that at least 9 out of 10 times, the guy breaking into your place isn’t you.
On top of that, this isn’t the first break-in at the Professor’s home. I think it’s hysterical when people say, “If he was white, this wouldn’t have happened that way”
Well, I’m white (sort of) and if the police thought my apartment was being broken into, I would obey all their commands, gladly show them my ID, and thank them for coming. So it would have gone differently for me… not because of my color… but because I’m not an idiot. If police ask you for your ID and you put up a fight and call them names, don’t expect to be treated with honor.
One last thing, Don’t apply to Harvard. They let anybody teach there.
Oh and PS: Me calling him an idiot isn’t racism. Idiots come in all colors. I have a white one that lives in my building.
