RACE RELATIONS

In a word, yes. But why is this so hard for Americans to grasp? The Daily Beast's Peter Beinart on our country's long track record of conflating religion and race.

BIG MAN ON CAMPUS

After torpedoing a CPAC panel on race relations with comments about "his people," a young white supremacist is conducting patrols "to protect" white classmates at Baltimore's Towson University. The Daily Beast's Caitlin Dickson rode along with the man the Southern Poverty Law Center calls "the future of organized hate."

PUBLIC CEREMONY

A line of mourners stretched for half a mile at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Wednesday ahead of the memorial service for slain campus cop Sean Collier. Authorities say Collier was shot to death last Thursday by Boston bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Tamerlan also died in the shootout). Thousands of police officers, students, MIT faculty, and staff, gathered to pay their respects to Collier, snaking through metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs. Along with Collier's family, Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak at the service. Meanwhile, Boylston Street, the site of the bombings, was reopened to the public Wednesday morning.

FRENEMY

Jamie Hahn, a 29-year-old Democratic campaign strategist, died early Wednesday, less than 48 hours after she and her husband were stabbed in their North Carolina home. The couple's friend Jonathan Wayne Broyhill has been arrested and will be charged with murder and assault. The 31-year-old Broyhill was best man at the Hahns' wedding and reportedly worked with Jamie Hahn at the Democratic firm Sky Blue Strategies, which she founded. On Wednesday morning, Jamie's husband, Nation Hahn, mourned his wife's death on Twitter: "She was my center, my rock and my soulmate."

STAY AWAY

The Tsarnaevs' aunt said Wednesday that a Boston mosque that the brothers attended will not allow them to hold a funeral there for Tamerlan, who was killed last week after a shootout with police. Tsarnaev is suspected of carrying out the deadly Boston Marathon bombing that killed three and injured more than 200, as well as killing an MIT campus police officer three days later. The aunt, Patimat Suleimanova, said she did not know the name of the mosque, but that the burial request had also been denied. The brothers were known to have attended the Islamic Society of Boston mosque in Cambridge, and a spokesman for the mosque said burying Tsarnaev is a "complex" situation because "what the guy did was absolutely disgraceful." Members of the mosque have been questioned by police.
