R.I.P. – Dr. Ira Zepp
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Last Saturday word spread quickly throughout the greater Carroll County community that Rev. Dr. Ira Gilbert Zepp, Jr., professor emeritus of the Religious Studies department at McDaniel College, had died peacefully at his home. He was 79 years old.

Santubong, Sarawak, Malaysia – Shhhhhh! It’s a secret! Don’t tell anybody! I want to hoard this event for just my friends! I don’t want anymore people to come. As far as I am concerned, there were just enough people here a weekend or two ago.

“Uppity Negro” vs. “Racist Pig”
Roy Meachum
Any American who can see or hear knows exactly who are the “uppity negro” and the “racist pig.” That’s how each is described by radical elements in both camps. Their names may not be remembered. Their professions are: Harvard professor and Cambridge Police sergeant. The reality will probably offend more Henry Louis Gates, Jr., than James Crowley.

Motorcycle Touring – Part 3
Nick Diaz
Everyone needs to eat. On the road you, the touring motorcyclist, have two choices. You could buy food in a grocery store and prepare it yourself, or you can pay someone else to prepare the food. You cannot just go to the refrigerator and grab something, or drive to your favorite restaurant. While touring by motorcycle, you'll have to get food wherever you can.

Failure may be the only option
Richard B. Weldon Jr.
Okay, by now you have to have spent time wondering why, in spite of all of the rhetoric thrown around over the last few decades, we’re no closer to substantive and meaningful healthcare reform than we’ve been before.

More-on Medicine!
Steven R. Berryman
Call me crazy, but I want to live longer, and into a fruitful old age. All events surrounding healthcare reform convince me of the opposite!

Those Movie Rating
Roy Meachum
Various groups have protested to the media how Hollywood advertises its product to the public; the G, PG, PG13, R and NC-17 appraisals have been found lacking. It seems today that before allowing a child to go off to a moving picture, parents should see the picture first.

So you want to buy a car?
Joe Charlebois
The American automobile industry, General Motors, Chrysler and Ford Motor Co. are publically traded corporations, private industry that – for the most part – has struggled to survive the marketplace in the past two decades. There are a multitude of reasons that the Big Three are failing while their foreign-owned counterparts have tapped into greater percentages of the American market share.

Who is watching the cookie jar?
Chris Cavey
At our family reunion last weekend, conversation turned to Maryland’s politics. Not that political talk is uncommon at this type of gathering, however, this time the facial expressions of the miscellaneous kinfolk gathered for this chat told me there was both interest and concern on many levels.

Summer Reading List
Michael Kurtianyk
Ah! The joys of summer! As the days get longer and I am busy with work, I love beginning the day (6 A.M.) with a cup of coffee, The Frederick News-Post (Washington Post on Sundays), and then a chapter or two of a book I am currently reading. So, I’d like to share with my readers my summer reading list:

On Thursday afternoon, July 16, the otherwise peaceful and stately Ware Street in Cambridge, MA, within shouting distance of Harvard University, became the latest ground zero for a debate over race relations in our country.

Kampung Boyan, Sarawak, Malaysia – The sampans ply the Sarawak River between two docks.

Not Forgotten! Not Quite!
Roy Meachum
To emphasize the new importance America’s current president gives to the war we had been told was finished, The Washington Post prints separately the names of those lost in Afghanistan; they were once “lumped in” with Iraq. Saturday’s edition published Germantown’s Rodrigo A. Mungula Rivas among the other dead soldiers. He was 27.

The Eyes of the Beholder
Farrell Keough
What an interesting week of racism. First we had a non-hearing on the confirmation of a proposed Supreme Court justice. And most recently we had the President of the United States defending a Harvard scholar for incendiary statements toward a policeman. It seems we have finally reached a point where racism is acceptable in some circles, as long as it is the ‘right’ kind of racism.

What are the answers?
Bill Brosius
Circumstances are troubling today. No one in the current Obama Administration seems terribly concerned. The president appears to think they can be ignored, or he can apologize for the USA, and every potential problem will melt away. The axis of evil is no more? Terrorists have mended their ugly ways? There are no latent catastrophic threats for us?

Why Take Back America?
Steven R. Berryman
To the uninitiated, the very concept of a “meet-up group” can be worrisome, and a bit unsettling. With much curiosity about our local splinter organization emerging from the original “Tea Party Movement,” I jumped into the fray last Friday night at the Hampton Inn’s meeting room.

Black and blue and still stupid, too

Black and blue and still stupid, too

By Kevin Dayhoff July 29, 2009 – August 5, 2009
(For a larger image - go here: http://twitpic.com/cw5y2)

Almost three weeks have passed since Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr., the nation's pre-eminent black scholar, was arrested in Cambridge, Massachusetts, just outside of Harvard University…

And yet, there are folks who seem to not be able to let go.

“Cambridge police say they responded to the well-maintained two-story home after a woman reported seeing ‘two males with backpacks on the porch,’ with one ‘wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry.’”

As for the rest of the story, the details are easily found in print, on the Internet and on television – as well as analysis of the incident – and an analysis of the analysis, ad nauseum.

Hopefully by the time you read this column the country will have collectively rediscovered that our nation is involved in two foreign wars, a recalcitrant economy in the toilet, and a raging debate over healthcare reform – to name just a few of the challenges.

At the time of Dr. Gates’ arrest,one headline screamed, “Harvard Prof Arrested; Gates Tried To Get Into Own House.”

However, as more facts come to light, the incident began to remind many of the infamous Duke lacrosse players’ debacle some time ago in which an African American female claimed that she had been assaulted the lacrosse team at a party.

Race, class, old wounds, and privilege immediately came into play. The media, along with other individuals who should know better, such as a large number of the Duke University faculty, jumped to broad-sweeping horrid conclusions before all the facts were known. Then there were extreme consequences.

After all the facts became clear, it became apparent that no crime had been committed except for extreme stupidity on the part of a whole host of bad actors.

As for the recent incident in Cambridge, Massachusetts; in days gone by, in an era long before the cable news and blogosphere-overloaded information – or disinformation – dissemination architecture, the story may have been lived and died in one or two news cycles.

However, the story quickly grew legs when cable news seized it as yet another example of law and order lunacy, not unlike last summer’s nightmare of police officers breaking into the home of a popular small town Maryland mayor and shooting his two dogs. Oops.

It is the latest saga of bad public relations for law enforcement in our country. Nevermind the detail that the facts do not support the hype in the case of the Cambridge incident.

Whether the example is speed cameras, red light cameras; or the recent incident where members of one law enforcement agency performed an undercover drug operation in Statesboro, NC, in which they arrested a member of another agency’s undercover operation; members of the public are continuing to be pre-disposed to believe that law enforcement in our country is becoming a bad Saturday Nigh Live skit.

Everyone immediately analyzed the recent Cambridge incident through the prism of his or her own experiences. Even those of us who grew up in small town America, where the local police officer was your friend, and helped you put your chain back on your bicycle; began to recall bad memories of our own war stories of dealing with overly officious adrenaline-driven police officers with the common sense of a goldfish.

The police report was scoured with a fine toothcomb looking for clues as to what really happened. The report may be found here (http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/07/23/0498.001.pdf.)
In the final analysis, President Barack Obama lost his script as the great uniter and weighed in badly as the great divider at a news conference last week, and further disseminated bad information by saying the Cambridge police department acted stupidly.

Never one to miss an opportunity to use race to promote himself, the Rev. Al Sharpton also weighed-in.

In the final stage, most all the finger-pointers have egg on their face and are walking back what they said in haste and spinning it for all its worth.

The news media was only too happy to help the president walk back his unfortunate hasty words, when it was revealed that Dr. Gates may have, in reality, precipitated and participated in his own victimization by his unprofessional and uncivil treatment of the police officer involved in the incident.


Here is what I wrote for The Tentacle last Wednesday, July 29, 2009

Black and blue and stupid, too

Kevin E. Dayhoff July 29, 2009

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=3287

On Thursday afternoon, July 16, the otherwise peaceful and stately Ware Street in Cambridge, MA, within shouting distance of Harvard University, became the latest ground zero for a debate over race relations in our country.

For everyone who wishes that the debate would just go away, the uneasy discussion over racial relations in America continues to take one step forward and two steps back.

This story gets tedious quickly. On July 20, The Associated Press reported: “Police responding to a call about ‘two black males’ breaking into a home near Harvard University ended up arresting the man who lives there – Henry Louis Gates Jr., the nation's pre-eminent black scholar.

“Gates had forced his way through the front door because it was jammed… Colleagues call the arrest last Thursday afternoon a clear case of racial profiling.”

The plot followed an all too familiar storyline. First there were the initial sensational reports in the media that a prominent African American scholar, at Harvard, no less, was arrested at his own home for breaking into his own house.

Unfortunately, for black males in our country, it is a story that is all-too familiar.

However, as more facts come to light, the incident began to remind many of the infamous Duke lacrosse players’ debacle some time ago in which an African American female claimed that she had been assaulted by the lacrosse team at a party.

After all the facts became clear, it was obvious that no crime had been committed – except for extreme stupidity on the part of a whole host of bad actors.

Lucy Grace can't show her face down in the North End Road
For in Belgravia
Rumours have been whispered and suggestions have been made
Did you sell your friends out when the heat got too intense?
You say you like the danger but it's only a pretense
You say you need the money
When everybody knows you can always fall back on your inheritance
Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

Who's that sneaking 'round the door?
You can't come here no more
Can't you go home again?
She used to sit alone for hours
Spend her evenings watering dried flowers

When her mother
came to stay and finally went to bed
Lucy Grace was in the front room shooting through your head
She tried to take your breath away and give you something else instead

Next year she'll serve her function in that Audrey Hepburn hat
It still won't suit her much but she'll get over that
She'll be pale and feign indifference as they're handling out the prizes
Spilling Daddy's pearls of wisdom
And her ugly sister's tranquillizers

Why were you so tardy putting up your guard?
When you hurt so easily and you try so hard
Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
