Recently, Harvard Professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., was racially profiled by Cambridge police officer, James Crowley, who wrongfully arrested him at his own home, for daring to talk back to him.

This week, a second black Harvard professor has come forth, alleging "racial harassment" by the Cambridge Police, in an incident that occurred prior to Gates being racially profiled.

Harvard Professor, S. Allen Counter, stated he was wrongfully accused by his wife, on charges he was later cleared of, but a Cambridge police officer had, "Baited him to come out of his home, then arrested him."

2nd Harvard professor claims 'racial harassment' by Cambridge police

Posted: Thursday, 06 August 2009 11:15AM - Boston (WBZ Newsroom) -- Three weeks after the controversial arrest of Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., another black Harvard professor is claiming that Cambridge police also singled him out for unfair treatment because of his race.

Professor S. Allen Counter, who is also director of the Harvard Foundation, told the Bay State Banner that it's another example of how police use the power of their badge to try to "criminalize African-Americans." They seem to "delight" in branding black professionals as criminals, Counter said.

“I feel this is a case of racial and criminal harassment on the part of police,’’ he told the Boston Globe.

He was arrested three years ago after his former wife accused him of assaulting their 17-year-old daughter. He was found not guilty. A police officer "baited him" to come out of his home, then arrested him.

The arresting officer, William Macedo, however, told WBZ Newsradio on Thursday that police have authority to arrest a suspect wherever he or she is...

The FBI And Racism

There have been a number of lawsuits filed against the FBI, stemming from racial incidents, perpetrated by the Bureau. Agents often use horrible racial slurs and sexist speak against innocent people, deeming it their duty to behave like uncouth meatheads raised on a KKK ranch.

While all FBI agents are not racists, some of them are nice and decent, quite a few are hateful towards non-white males and it has tainted the agency's name among minorities and immigrants.

Blacks, Muslims, Hispanics and immigrants have faced horrible discrimination at the FBI's hands. Let's not forget, this is the law enforcement agency that murdered the great Martin Luther King Jr. for being an outspoken black man that dared to state and believe all men are equal.

Women have also been treated deplorably by the FBI, as though they are inferior, facing numerous incidents of sexual abuse, harassment and discrimination.

Some racial incidents transpire against FBI agents by other FBI agents, such as the New York field office of the FBI, who routinely subjugated black and Hispanic agents to racial slurs and nasty stereotypes.

This resulted in a lawsuit against the FBI, filed by minority agents in the New York office, who could no longer tolerate the hostile, hateful, racist work environment.

More accusations have been made against the FBI in this vein, this time, it is anti-Semitism. FBI agents handling a Pentagon employee, Larry Franklin, routinely asked him to identify Jewish people in said government office and questioned him as to how he could consort with them. That is vile. The FBI has declined comment. Oh, I wonder why, could it be the accusations are true.

If you are an agent in the FBI and this is your racist, sexist attitude, you need to get out of the Bureau and go join the Klan, until they get raided, that is, for inevitably doing something they are not supposed to do.

God made us all equal and if you value your eternal soul, you would do well to believe and practice that universal law.

Franklin: Some FBI agents anti-Semitic

August 3, 2009 - WASHINGTON (JTA) -- The former Pentagon official at the center of the classified information case involving AIPAC staffers accused some FBI agents of displaying anti-Semitism.

Larry Franklin, an Iran analyst in 2004 when he helped the FBI set up a sting targeting Keith Weissman, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's former Iran analyst, and Steve Rosen, its former former policy chief, said some of his FBI handlers at times appeared to be motivated by hostility to Jews.

"One agent said to me, 'How can an Irish Catholic from the Bronx get mixed up with all these ...' and I finished the sentence for him: 'Jews?' " Franklin said in an interview published July 31 by the Washington Times.

The FBI, which had caught Franklin removing classified information from the Pentagon to his West Virginia home and revealing classified information, co-opted him in its attempt to build a case against the lobbyists. Franklin wore a wire to lure Weissman and Rosen into the FBI sting.

Franklin told the Washington Times not all agents dealing with him were were anti-Semitic, but some asked him to identify Jews in the Pentagon. The FBI declined comment.

The government charged Rosen and Weissman with dealing in classified information in 2005 and also charged Franklin, despite his cooperation. He pleaded guilty.

This year, the government dropped its case against Rosen and Weissman. The federal judge in the case, T.S. Ellis III, reduced Franklin’s sentence from nearly 13 years to probation.
