[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] I know, Glass, but there is two parts of this that I hate more than anything else... First, using your scenario, put yourself in Gates' place. In house, cop shows up and asks for ID. Me? I would show him ID and then have a nice conversation with him about forgetting my keys and my nosey neighbor. Gates? Apparently he begins by crying racism and insulting the cop's mother. (Yeah, I know it's probably a generic 'you SoB!' comment.) When the officer was informed that there were possibly two bad guys and the first person he meets is belligerent, he's going to have to assume there is a safety risk as he's on his own. Nothing in the officer's version of events has been contested by Gates other than he claims he nicely showed two forms of ID during his rant. (insert sarcasticly incredulous comment of choice here) Second, and related, Obama basically calls the cop a racist idiot on national TV while admittedly not knowing anything about the case other than a [i]white[/i] cop arrested his [i]black[/i] friend. And even in his 'apology-that-wasn't-really-an-apology' he still ran up the race card...again! This is why I think this is going to go straight from the handbasket to the express train. They both tossed out the race card [b]reflexively[/b] and accidentally aimed it at a model cop who happens to be a trainer for race relations! Other than if he had had a black wife, he's about as bullet proof of a non-racist as you can get (at least from the reports on him so far). Sooner or later, we white folk get tired of being labeled racist every time we disagree with someone that isn't of our 'ethnicity.' I think that this time, that frustration is going to boil over into something ugly and Obama is going to take flak from it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
