Another case of reverse racism!

If there is one thing that Obama knows well, it's how to act stupidly. ;~D

The police officer is employed to keep law and order. He received a call saying two men were breaking into a house so of course he rushed off to arrest the people. It wouldn't have mattered if they were white or black. The police officer isn't necessarily guilty of racial profiling. I have taught a class of all white except 2 children that were black. I liked all the children and treated each one of them equally. The black girl was clever and hard working. The black boy had special educational needs. I would have hated if I had been accused of racial profiling. I think black skin is lovely and I respect all different cultures in the world. I think Obama is sensitive about color and misread the situation.

Obama was showing his true self. What else could he say, he is just as racist as his wife who has said she hated whites. He may have dozed off in his church and claimes he didn't hear Rev.Wright but it was planted in his mind. He now says he didn't know the facts and may have used the wrong words in his answer. Almost every black plays the race card sometime in their life. Maybe thats another reason he would rather be called a black opposed to bi-racial. Too bad everyone can't do that.

I think it's funny that Obama couldn't find another word other than 'stupidly'....shouldn't he be beefing up his vocabulary just a lil bit? I really think when someone pulls the race card, they should think about the cause and effect of their actions first. The why, what, where,when and how might help. Basic, easy questions before jumping into a quick, STUPID decision or a quick, stupid answer......

If the officer was in the right, and this was a good arrest then why were the charges dropped. I have read this story a few times, and I have no idea why anyone would think a man in his late 50's would be breaking into a house. I just find this very hard to believe that this officer would have done the same thing to a white man.

What do we use the term reverse racism ? Racism is racism no matter who it is directed at. By saying reverse we are saying that is only happens to one race. While we're at it why is white or black a race ? There is no country that is called White or Black country is there ? You can be from Africa, USA, England ect and be any color ( you just have to be born there to be from there). If a white person is tracing back there heritage they trace it from England, France, ect. Not all Black people are from Africa.

This is so sad but it is true racism is getting worst in the world yea

I think, perhaps, you have misread the news story.

I believe the police officers were in the right, they did not go against any rules whatsoever. They were just doing what they had to do in this situation. I can't believe that it is getting national attention, there are worse problems in the world to focus on, what are they trying to distract us from is what I am wondering. And I agree, race crying is really too overdone. Hardly anyone in the US is racist anymore, but the word is constantly used, and a lot of people just take it because of racial guilt.

Reverse racism does not exist and its a negative term to use ( your calling a entire group of people racist and saying that racism has been turned on them, the oppressor getting oppressed). Why do you state, "Why do blacks keep doing this?". That is rather suspect and I question your motive behind this discussion. I don't feel that it is necessary to get angered by an opinion and to draw outlandish conclusion about all of your fellow Americans from a different cultural group. You have the right to your opinion as does the president, the people involved in the incident, and anyone else who wants to comment on the matter. But you shouldn't make generalizations about "Blacks" and what goes on as society interacts. I recall hearing the woman stating that a man was seen using his shoulder to get through a door but she didn't immediately answer reporters call, although if you have evidence of her stating two men then I will accept the correction. That woman made a very typical and caring decision as a neighbor who doesn't really know her neighbors well enough to recognize them and made the understandable decision to call the police to try to protect the person who actually ended up arrested. But I also can understand how the professor could have been annoyed with the police call, possibly from previous experiences in his life, as well as the fact that he was being approached with suspicion while trying to enter his own home. It was a misunderstanding and I don't feel that the police made the best decision by arresting him since he posed no threat to himself or others. I also disagree that President Obama is "racist" in any way considering that not a single cultural group in the US has been disenfranchised,denied jobs, school admissions, access to public places because of the cultural identities during his administration.

I am looking in from the outside. I think everyone is so touchy because there is a reversal of roles. Suddenly, the colored skin is asserting their power. Their time had come. Why don't we allow it and see how the world goes. After all, they had come a long way and proven their worth. Bill Cosby made me laugh. Michael Jackson made me dance. Michael Jordan made me jump to glory. Let's give Obama a chance. It is his time to shine. But of course let no man be subjected to any form of injustice. That we cannot allow. No one is above the law.

I don't know what to say in this issue, since i haven't watch or read the story news. but i do believe that Obama should know the truth before siding with the other guy. he is supposed to have broken barriers against racism, right? so, why is this happening? ok. i just read it, Cops are doing their job right but i hope they get the chance to explain their side too..
