54. Absolutely not
And the only reason people are saying anything about Obama making a perfectly valid statement, is that he himself is black. For some sanine fucking reason, only white politicians seem to be "allowed" to speak of racial issues, and any black or Indian or Asian or Latino who attempts to do likewise is branded an "extermist" or is themselves called "racist"

It is clear to me that this professor would not have had to deal with the cops if he were white. At the absolute worst, they would have said "excuse me, sir, do ou live here? Okay, just checking, bye-bye"
