Nicholas, the answer to your question is simple. Clearly the black cop is an uncle tom sell out just cowtowing to his white masas.

Are we being nit-picky with Dr. Benjamin? My family is genetically slender and yes, we do make an effort to eat for nutrition and not for comfort. Dr. Benjamin might have a genetic disorder and have difficulty with weight management. I say give her a chance! Women over 40 have to work much harder on their weight, and then you trying working, taking care of a family and trying to keep up with YOU MEN… just joking! Why are we so darn PICKY? Why can’t we just be one big happy family? Oh, that’s right… family are out there killing each other these days! We need a national pychiatrist to educate us on managing our stress!

The word racism has been thrown about so much in the last year or so that at this point it has lost almost all meaning. What a disservice Obama, et al. do to people who suffer real racism…

We need our leaders to encourage understanding and patience not promote over-reacting based on what happened to “a friend”, what else is Obama doing for his “friends” behind the scenes? I voted for Obama and I love him, but I have to admit that this was a bad call. I thought that he was wiser than that and above the pettiness of Johnny hit me on the playground. There is so much love in this country, let’s build each other up. We are far from perfect, but at least we are willing to strive for a better world and there will be bumps. And we all know how to push buttons for attention, and it looks like Gates picked the wrong cop to crap on! Sorry! UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. Let’s move forward and LOVE EACH OTHER!

GOOD TALK on O’reilly Bob. If the President can assume that the Cambridge police acted stupidly can we assume the professor came home after a long happy hour and could’nt see the lock to the door or had the wrong key and then was belligerent with the cop due to the long happy hour. that makes sense to me

Appreciate your comments on O’Reilly’s show. Our President should refrain from commenting on local police activities, especially without knowing the particulars, which he admitted. Simply state “It wouldn’t be fair for me to comment without knowing all the facts surrounding the case…” Next question…

Ick… follow the link on the 4:16 trackback, not the link on the 8:52 comment. Apparently I registered here before I changed the address of my blog.

Nicolas, if you follow the link on the post you referred to, you’ll discover that I’m not a liberal.

I’m not entirely sure the police officer acted properly, but it seems to me that the professor created an unnecessary situation. When a police officer came to my residence for a call from the alarm company, he asked me for identification to verify my identity. His action was for my benefit. I thanked him for the response. From what I gathered, so far, that’s all the officer was requesting.

As to whether they should have placed the professor under arrest, I’ll leave that debate to my betters on that topic and weight their findings. I will not defend the action of the professor though. There seems to be no cause for his actions.

As to the President, I would hope that some objectivity would be used. If we are to get passed this racial issue, on any side of the aisle, we’ll need to learn to step back, look objectively at the issue and try to put that card to the side.

I commend you on your appearance on O’Reilly

jeeze…another possible liberal spy there, the guy with the timestamp of “July 23rd, 2009 at 4:16 pm”

anyway, it amazes me that the professor screams “racism”, yet there’s a black cop in at the scene as well..how does “racism” work in THAT instance?

also.. “my words don’t resonate nationally to the point where they can influence policy… yet.”, hopefully you CAN get somewhere you do have influence on policy, if you don’t plan to run for any sort of political office

No surprise that Gates is a friend of Obama’s is it? Fits the mold of Rev. J. Wright et al.

Would either of these two have the balls to do what the police routinely do…i.e., go into potential hostile environments that can get them killed? Cops (Black & White) I’ve talked with say it is always the innocuous call outs that lead to bad incidents.

I’m lily white but on the couple of occasions that I have officially met a LEO I’m yes “sirring/mamming” and hands are in plain sight.

BHO first states that he doesn’t know all the facts.

But that does not stop him from arriving at his own conclusion immediately following the first statement.

As he does with everything else, too.

If there ever will be a race war in this nation (God forbid) then it will be started by the liberals.

And, of course, they will immediately place all blame on conservatives, regardless.

Motus Operandi of Hitler’s Brownshirts, y’know…

Gates is a racist plain and simple. So are Barry and Shelly Obama (my new “friendly” names for the first couple.

Racism is racism. No such thing as reverse racism. But as Glenn Beck has mentioned time and again, Obama’s reorganization of the USA is based on ‘reparations’ of a sort.

Bringing everyone to a low level, rather than leaving everyone alone to pursue their dreams of success. Suckers is what we are if we don’t stop this.

Gotta stop that horrible health care bill. Have you read it? I am now.

“…what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there’s a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That’s just a fact.”

Another fine example of the ignorance and race-baiting tendencies of our President. Of course, it couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that minorities commit the vast majority of crimes in this nation….nah that couldn’t be it….it must be due to “inherent racism”. Damn, we are such a racist country. A minority has no chance of ever succeeding in this racist nation…..pay no attention to our minority President, congressman, successful athletes and businessmen…

I was telling a friend how I have gotten out of tickets lately. Police pulls me over, I admit what I did, tell him I was sorry. Be very polite. Tell him why I was doind what I did, in full honesty. I also thank him for doing his job. I usually get a warning. He said, first think never admit what you did wrong. Then I said never got out of a ticket have you?

If you are nice you get a warning, if you are a pain, you get a ticket. You yell at the man you get handcuffed.

I sw that on world’s stupidest drivers. Cops pulled over a lady, and before he got out, said I pull . This lady was so notorious that they know her by name. After yelling and cussing at the man, she backed into them (by acciendt or whatever) that got her in handcuffs.

Too many laws on the book to get you arrested, be nice and walk away.
