POPSHarvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. arrested for "breaking into" his own home More: S. Allen Counter, a Harvard Medical School professor…has faced a similar situation himself. The well-known neuroscience professor, who is also black, was stopped by two Harvard police officers in 2004 after being mistaken for a robbery suspect as he crossed Harvard Yard. They threatened to arrest him when he could not produce identification.… “This is very disturbing that this could happen to anyone, and not just to a person of such distinction,” Counter said. “He was just shocked that this had happened, at 12:44 in the afternoon, in broad daylight.It brings up the question of whether black males are being targeted by Cambridge police for harassment.”

POPSThis is what little girls looked like when I was a kid No pink. No sparkles. No fake high heels – or worse, real high heels. Just a kid, wearing clothes a kid can play in, playing with a toy for kids. Damn, I honestly never thought I'd feel nostalgic for 1981, but you look around at the pink-pink-pink-pretty-princess image that's shoved down girls' throats these days, and suddenly the 1970s standard kids' outfit (t-shirt, Tuffskins jeans, and Keds or other plain, practical sneakers) looks wonderful.
