that the babysitter was 17. NOT 47 or 57 or 67 or someone of an age to have been drenched for decades in the vicious stereotypes about AAs.... And so yet another generation has been infected with and emboldened by the power of racism. I.e., a 17 year old white girl had the POWER to negatively impact the life of an innocent black man.
If the situation had been reversed, would those cops have believed the black man if he had witnessed what happened and reported that 2 unknown white suspects had burst into his neighbor's house and took off with some items? 
Of course not because "they don't fit 'the description'".
Fortunately he wasn't put away for good and hopefully the little girl will not succumb to the intoxicating power of racism when she gets older.
