The author would like to thank the St. John's University Law School Black Law Students Association for allowing me to present an earlier draft of this article at their Civil Rights Symposium in February 2002. In addition, I would like to thank the members of the University of Virginia Black Law Students Association and the Virginia Sports & Entertainment Law Journal for inviting me to present at their Black History Symposium in February 2002, especially Terrica Redfield and Michael McCann. I would like to thank Professor Kim Forde-Mazrui for his help with this project, and Professor Alex MI. Johnson, Jr. and Ms. Daphne Maxwell Reid for their insights into these important issues. The comments of Professors Eric Gouvin and Chris Iijima were also very helpful to me in completing this project. I also appreciate the comments that I received to a prior draft of this article at St. John's School of Law Faculty Colloquium. I would also like to thank my research assistants Casey Laffey and Lily Abramcheyev for assistance with this project. All the views herein are solely mine, and this article is not meant to suggest that those perpetrators who are guilty should not be punished. However, in this era of snitching and racial profiling, we have to be vigilant that we are not making mistakes by targeting the wrong individuals.
