let's be honest here.
i am a caucasian male, 51 years old, partially reared
by an afican-american woman. i live mostly with
african-american men. i've spent my share of time on
the street with all that entails. i have lived here
and in virginia. i racially profile. i stereotype. i
may do it less than others but i do it. black people
also profile and stereotype though the effects may not
be felt by whites the way the majority's profiling is
felt by blacks given the majority's use of police to
do their dirty work.
i still believe olson should not be reappointed. i
hold no illusion that this will be a panacaea to the
problems our city faces vis a vis profiling, police
over-reliance on force, etc. it is only a beginning.
