..."This never should've happened and the press should not be raising a stink about President Obama's reaction"...
So True Sister Mwannesi!!
I was very livid about the incidence that occured with Prof. Gates as many other people were too both White, Black, & Brown. I want to say that I don't think that in 2009 that we are where we need to be, but I'm thankful to God that we aren't where we used to be. With that said, I think the media is partly to blame for "attempting" to trip the President up with "Race". After President Obama made his comments, there was a entire media circus over a few sentences so much so that it took all the attention off talks about Univ. Health Care Reform. As far as I know, President Obama didn't apologize although the American Press was the group of people who first started calling for the apology with their "Race Baiting" & President Obama nipped the situation in the bud which was a wise thing to do. The entire Cambridge police department needs to offer Prof. Gates an apology.

Any wonder that when Black Folks sees white police officers coming they run? That being said, maybe the Professor was tired and cranky after his long trip and just wanted to go get some rest and here comes the Police!! The reason why it's getting so much traction is because it has happened time and time again to Black Folks. If some one has ever heard of this happening to a white person please let us know or see it.
This society is still so divided. Whites thinks we are making a big deal out of nothing and blacks of course thinks it's a big deal because it continues to be a problem.
Note to the professor don't talk back to a cop. He is in charge, he has the gun and at that moment the power. LET'S MOVE ON NOW, IT'S OVER!! I AM TIRED OF IT!!
