Obama Says Racism Affects Criminal-Justice System
NewsReal ^ | July 23, 2009 | John Perazzo

Posted on 07/23/2009 10:19:47 AM PDT by liesel2000

Racism in the criminal-justice system is not a thing of the past, says Barack Obama, citing the recent arrest of black scholar Henry Louis Gates. (Snip) Yesterday President Obama spoke out about the incident:

“I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us [in Gates’ position] would be pretty angry. Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And number three — what I think we know separate and apart from this incident — is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that’s just a fact.”

As shown by Latinas claiming to be wiser than any old white men.

Has he fired all the white secret service agents yet?

TIP TO NON-MINORITY POLICE OFFICERS: next time there’s a call in this neighborhood, be unavailable...

>>Obama Says Racism Affects Criminal-Justice System

He’s right about that one. All those blacks that think that the “white man’s laws” don’t apply to them certainly do affect the criminal justice system.

Man, I am SO sick of seeing the term racism attached to every single thing that involves an African-American!

Do people actually buy this crap?

The term racism has got to be the most abused word in the English language!  Enough already!

Are we getting a better idea who King Obama is? Henry Louis Gates is a personal friend of his. This insane childlike sick King Obama is a pure racist. He had no idea that Gates refused to cooperate with the police. He should have been charged and spent at least a day in jail. That cop did his job and I'm one proud puppy to see we do have some real police.

The racism shown by a review of the DOJ stats on crime show that racial profiling is justified and you’d be stupid NOT to do it and use common sense.

Further it shows when it comes to racism in attacks, it whites who are being nailed by blacks and hispanics, by a large margin, not blacks and hispanics being attacked by whites.

Further, with blacks, over 90% of the crime and injuries/killings are black n black. Blacks are 10 times as likely to be attacked by another black than they are whites. Conversley, whites are attacked by blacks at a rate about 6 times as high as whites. And about 3 times the rate of being attacked by a hispanic than whites. White on black rape hardly ever occurs, inthe hundreds each year. Black on white rape occurs in the tens of thousands each year - two orders of magnitude higher.

Is there anyone 0bama did NOT insult last night? Doctors, cops, Republicans, Secret Service agents, homeowners...?

As a homeowner, I certainly would not be angry if a cop responded to a report of a possible breakin at my home. Furthermore, the cop would get my ID on the first try...if in fact he needed it, which he wouldn’t, since I’m the sort of citizen who actually knows every cop in my community. Maybe Gates needs to get involved like that, and spend less time in salons (or saloons as the case may be).

I thought it a diversion, but it does show a side of him that will destroy this country. Rush was saying this question was the only time he showed any passion during his cult ceremony last nite. He cannot grasp intellectually anything beyond his racial obsessions, and health care is so beyond him that it depresses him.

No, Obama, most of us would be thankful there was such quick response to a potential burglary, quickly shown our ID and bid the officer a pleasant day.

People who talk themselves into getting arrested are generally just jerks.

So, the next time police get a call that a black male is seen breaking into a home they should just ignore it? Right? Cause he couldn’t possibly be actually breaking into the house because he’s black. Right. Gotcha Mr. President.
