who doesn’t love the roots drummer and sometimes dj ?uestlove?  i know i love him but apparently security at the buffalo airport doesn’t.  after buying a ticket shortly before his flight, ?uestlove was flagged for further security checks.  the officers found a lot of money on him (from djing shows he’d been doing) and they didn’t like his appearance (or “rastafarian hat” apparently), they decided that he fit the profile of a drug dealer.  the officers harassed him but eventually they let him go in time to catch his flight.

clearly, racism and supreme stupidity are alive and well and unfortunately, they have badges and power.

you find out more here or by reading ?uestloves personal account.
