He should have followed Chris Rock’s advice

Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley prominent Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. claims is a racist gave a dying Reggie Lewis mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in a desperate bid to save the Celtics [team stats] superstar’s life 16 years ago Monday.

“I wasn’t working on Reggie Lewis the basketball star. I wasn’t working on a black man. I was working on another human being,”

Hm-m-m. The implication is that a black police officer would have looked the other way and let him break into the house. Where do I start with that? Black police officers are corrupt? Black officers will allow black perps to commit crimes? I refuse to believe that, although for someone who does, it might explain crime in the big cities...

It’s obvious which color he sides with. After, they voted 95% for him....

So what if the cop had been black?

Not only that, but what if the Prof. had been white? Would the black officer be a racist for picking on the Prof?

Probably not.

Ever notice how, when some blacks are detained or caught doing something naughty, they cry RACIST?

So yeah, the Prof. is the racist one for bringing color into it.

Hopefully, the brotherhood of Police from around the country can come together in once voice to tell Obama whose stupid

[originalbuckeye]

The real racists? The Obama family.

[MrB]

Just notching up the racial tension. It has a purpose and a goal.

[b4its2late]

He’s stepping in it all along the way. The honeymooon that never should have happened.

[KarlInOhio]

Colorblind test failed (Cambridge/Gates: Obambi knew nothing but opened his trap),

Obama: I see a white man keeping a brotha down.

No, actually it should be a 74.

The same thing happened to James Taranto, an editor for the Wall Street Journal. In his words:
It was a balmy afternoon in the mid-1990s, and we were a guest at a friend’s house in Alexandria, Va. Our friend was out of town, but he left us the key. Shortly after arriving, we went out to the backyard for a bit, then to our room for a rest. We heard some commotion outside and went downstairs to investigate. It turned out to be Alexandria’s Finest, trying to get in the back door. Apparently a neighbor had seen us in the yard, mistaken us for a strange man, and summoned the police. As we recall, there were two cops. They were not friendly. We remember vividly that one of them had his gun drawn, albeit defensively (that is, it was still pointed into the holster). We were shocked and offended by the intrusion, but we had the presence of mind not to give voice to those feelings. We explained the situation, showed our identification, and demonstrated that the key in our pocket unlocked the front door. Satisfied that we were not a trespasser or burglar, the policemen left. They did not apologize. The experience left us a bit rattled. But on reflection we realized that although perhaps the policemen’s manner could have used some improvement, they were merely doing their job. It wasn’t their fault the information on which they acted was bad.
It wasn't Mr. Gates skin color that the police were reacting to, but his attitude,

"...prominent Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr..."

Wanna bet that with a little snooping our prominent professor turns out to be another Ward Churchill?

[Rebelbase]

Obama’s incompetence in this matter reminds me of Olberman’s “Jim Thompson” statement. Both cases clearly show that Leftist blogs are considered to be news worthy sources by the media and the administration.

Step One, Officer Crowley = you have to PROVE you are not a racist.

Of course, you begin by denying that you are a racist. That is certainly not enough. So you then recount how you tried to save the life of a famous black sports figure. The fact that you bring that up sounds defensive. You are guilty, Officer Crowley, unless you PROVE otherwise.

It’s going to be difficult, Officer Crowley, because the POTUS has told the whole nation how stupid you are.
