137. That's a nice speech, but she's dead wrong in the Capitol police incident.
I interned on Capitol Hill for a white, male congressman and he was stopped by Capitol police in more than one occasion. There are 435 members of the House, and believe or not, Capitol police don't remember them all. Just show your ID badge and/or member pin and they let you right through. Yelling racism at something that could easily be a police officer doing his job cheapens the very issue of racism. (and I am racial minority so I have some perspective)
