Racial Profiling? Nope, Racial Reality

http://www.examiner.com/x-13348-Jacksonville-Republican-Examiner~y2009m7d23-The-politics-of-race-Sgt-James-Crowley-vs-Professor-Henry-Gates

This looks at the politics of racial profiling behind the case involving Professor Henry Gates and Sgt. James Crowley who have become centerpieces of the fight after Gates alleged racism. Let me be clear, my article points out that race had nothing to do with the case and it is being used to confuse people. The chart shows that blacks and Hispanics tend to commit crimes at such a higher rates and this is being used by Gates to make a point. It is sad that they commit so much crime when they have been given preferential treatment, ie: affirmative action.
