The President decided to jump into the fray of the poor black professor who was arrested by the mean-spirited white policemen in Cambridge, Mass. While admitting he didn’t know if race actually played a part in the arrest, Obama did make the presidential proclamation that the police “acted stupidly”. Then, putting it into crystal clear perspective, the Chosen One admitted that he was able to make this demeaning assessment of the police without knowing the facts of the case. Admittedly, I am depending on the press reports of the President’s comments as I chose not to watch his network love-fest, fee free infomercial on ObamaCare last night. My sock drawer needed my immediate attention.

Unfortunately the President omitted one key fact from his comments. That being he is a close personal friend of this black radical Harvard professor. I guess it’s comforting to know that this President of Hope and Change is close personal friends with both black and white radical professors as in Bill Ayers and Henry Louis Gates as well as a black radical pastor, a black radical Attorney General and a Hispanic radical judge . On second thought, comforting may not be the correct word.

The only reason this is even news is because the professor is black and the police are white. Henry Louis Gates is the director of Harvard University’s Du Bois Institute of African and American Research. As such, professor Gates should be familiar with the overwhelming statistics of black on black crime and black on white crime. But as this is a research institute at a major Ivy League University actual statistics are viewed merely as irrelevant obstacles.

The incident began when a white woman noticed two black men forcing their way into the front door of a home. Had this happened in a black neighborhood, where young black men are gunned down daily by other young black men, at high noon, in front of hundreds of witnesses but when police arrive no one saw anything, the incident would have most likely gone unreported. But as this was in an area where folks show their displeasure with possible home invasions, police were called.

Police reports show that when officers arrived Gates was in the house with the other man. When police asked this learned professional racist for identification to prove he belonged there, instead of understanding how his entrance may have looked to passersby and simply providing his ID thus ending the incident, professor Gates became belligerent and argumentative, insisting on causing a racially motivated confrontation. He told the officers they had not heard the last of him and demanded to know their names and badge numbers, which seems like a strange request from a collage professor as both are always clearly displayed on the officer’s chest. Gates did end up getting arrested. Not for breaking and entering but for disorderly conduct after angrily following the exiting officers from the house to continue his discordant racial tirade on the front porch.

The charges have since been dropped by the District Attorney due to political considerations rather than any legal ones.

I was stopped several weeks ago exiting a building by an Asian and a black police officer. They asked me my name and requested my ID. I provided what they asked for, they said thank you and I went on my way. The entire incident lasted all of about a minute. It never dawned on me that these officers were racially motivated as I was the only white guy amongst us three. I knew I did nothing wrong and simply assumed the officers were investigating some poor guy that looked similar to me. They asked, I obliged, we moved on. That seemed to me to be the logical thing to do in that situation and I’m not even a Harvard professor.

Was this Cambridge confrontation racially motivated? Yes. But it was racially motivated by the black guy not the white cops. Were the President’s comments racially motivated? Yes, but once again not by anything the white cops did. Hell, he admitted he didn’t even know the facts. The Right Reverend Jeremiah Wright must be so proud of his protégé right now that he is grinning from ear to ear.

If I was a Cambridge police officer Professor Gates would not have to worry about me ever showing up at his address again, regardless of the circumstances. But he can be assured that the officers in Cambridge will continue to protect his life and property by putting their own lives on the line, just as they thought they might be doing the night they showed up for the possible breaking and entering call at his house.

The professional Cambridge police officers did exactly what one would expect them to do. Unfortunately so did the Director of Harvard’s Institute of African and American Research and the 20 plus year member of Reverend Wright’s flock.
