timalkin, once the police saw the man's identification, they no longer had any evidence of a crime and were on this man's property without permission. The chip that may or may not exist on this professor's shoulder is nothing compared to the "victimized white culture" chip on yours. You seem to have some unfounded sense of Caucasian victimization. Are you one of those white people that are mad you've been in charge for so long? It must be nice to be black, you think, that you have a race card to play. I wish I were the white Jesse Jackson so I could wail and moan about the sad state of white America, the numerous abuses against the underprivileged whites that are just trying to live honest, hard working lives. But you're not really understanding what it's like to be in that situation. In your lifetime, your culture has been in charge of things. Add to that your (presumably conservative) mistrust of people that are educated, and here we are.
You've invented a race for yourself along with racist (or reverse racist) oppressors. The poor, honest, white man has to live under the thumb of the multiracial, liberal, academic ruling class. The reality of the situation—the neighbor never even familiarized herself with the appearance of this professor enough to recognize him, resulting in her calling the police; the police arrived with good intentions, but became angry when the black man assumed correctly that racism might have been involved in their presence and then they refused to leave—disappears into the haze of your projected reality.
You should visit roachboy's thread about "the backfire effect".
