The policeman who stopped him was black?  And, Blow never mentioned that?  Really?[/quote]

I'm not sure it's relevant.  Obviously black police officers can profile and/or be racist.

However, Yale demographics seem to be relevant:

White and hispanic:  80%
Black: 9%

Demographics in Hartford:  mostly black, Hispanic of Puerto Rican descent, and poor[/quote]

Of course it's relevant. We all know black-on-black crime is not driven by racism.

white-on-black crime: Racism!

black-on-black crime: Realities of inner city plight[/quote]

What?  A policeman rightfully or wrongfully pulling a gun on a suspect is not a crime.  It's not a white-on-black crime or a black-on-black crime.  Shooting him, maybe.  Pulling a gun and asking him to get down?  Not a crime.
