And when you think about why in the Africanamerican Community at least, theres a lot of pain around what happened here, i think its important to recognize that the Africanamerican Community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesnt go away. There are very few africanamerican men in this country who havent had the experience that being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me. There are very few africanamerican men who havent had had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me at least before i was a senator. There are very few africanamericans who havent had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off. That happens often. And i dont want to exaggerate this, but those sets of experiences inform how the Africanamerican Community interprets what happened one
