hey jeff,
i was wonderin when you were gonna get this case up here, haha. but yeah, def a shocking case especially, like you said, at americas first college of ethnic studies... what troubles me though, is how many people i find unaware of this case, even in my circle of friends who try and stay hip to current events on both a local and global scale, they'd be like...dr who? what's his story? i'm like...dang...something's seriously not right. city of san francisco and a story like this doesn't even reach as many people as it probably should...
damn, and i still gotta get one of those shirts...
well...say hi to the fam for me.
peace yo,
jeremy
Jeff,
thanks for this update. Has NPR picked up on this at all?
MAN
It's pretty shocking to hear about this incident happening at my alma mater, considering its "If I could teach the world to sing" multiculturalism.
I can tell you that there has been an underbelly on campus for decades and I believe that the professor was not hassled out of racial profiling as much as punishment for speaking out against the practice.
I am never surprised by how people judge, fear, assume by this primitive notion of profiling. It is terrible and a mark of shame on the human race. I wish my surprise could go the way of the dodo bird.
The only people that will ever know the truth are the officers present and Dr. Akom. But we all know what really happened! It is virtually impossible that the assault charge could have any truth to it. He is a black man and a phd. The logical conclusion, therefore, is that the officers are lying. We know this because...wait a minute..how do we know this? Oh don't bother me with details...I want to do my chant. End racial profiling!!
