Black scholar?

Why is  Henry Louis Gates being referred to as a black scholar? Friends defend officer who arrested black scholar.

How about just "scholar?"

Racism is so much part of American society that we do not realize that when we qualify Henry Louis Gates' scholarship with the color of his skin, we are, in fact, expressing the latent racism that so characterizes current discourse.

One thing that I am coming around to believe though, is that racism may not have played a part, or maybe not the most prominent part, in the decision to arrest Professor Gates- stupidity did.
