Is babysitting while white reasonable suspicion for police questioning?

A terribly sad story told by one of my favorite Texas, liberal bloggers. 

She told me to take my hand out of my pocket and to step away from Ty, declaring that someone had seen a white man chasing a black girl and reported a possible kidnapping. Then she began asking the five-year old about me. The last time this happened, Ty was barely two, and I wasn't about to let police question her. This time, though, at least initially, I decided to let her answer. "Do you know this man?" the deputy asked. "Yes," Ty mumbled shyly, "he's my Grandpa."

It goes downhill from there.

Damn!
