Don, where in the post did it say that Robert and his partner are not black themselves?

Don, i think the point is that hoodlums should be treated like hoodlums. this term is being used as a conceit so that the author may make plain his point. perhaps you need to read the original post. i think you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

now, am i saying all molehills are mountains?

All black men should be treated like hoodlums?

Should ANYONE be treated like “hoodlums”, when they are supposed to be presumed innocent? Obviously, Robert does.

i don’t think anybody deserves to be humiliated in public. unless you are, in fact, a complete dirtball criminal and in that case you should get a pie in the face.

The police frisked them in front of passers-by, in Robertâ€™s words, â€œlike they were common hoodlums.â€

God forbid they be treated like other black men in Bed Stuy…

The notion that some people deserved to be humiliated in public, and that the two mentioned in this post don’t, smacks of elitism.
