Officer Thomas Strain, a white police officer in the 35th District of Philadelphia, was put on desk duty this month because he came to work with cornrows. According to reports, Strain was ordered to get a haircut because the braids violated department standards yet dozens of black officers wear cornrows.
Police policy requires officers to have “clean, properly trimmed and combed hair” that doesn’t prevent them from wearing their uniform hat “in a military-manner”. Although Strain was told to get a haircut, he was not formally disciplined.

On Monday, President Barack Obama sat down with David Letterman on the Late Show to discuss topics including race, the economy and, of course, health care reform.
When asked whether the reaction to his health care plan is driven by racism, the President replied, “First of all, I think it’s important to realize that I was actually black before the election.”
President Obama said he expects unemployment will be a “big problem” for at least another year, but he said the economy will rebound even stronger.
