Sounds good, the problem is some are more equal. Are you all aware that we have an Office of Minority Health? I www.omhrc.govAnd let's talk about bridging the gap. *61 blathered incessantly during his campaign how he would unite America. When will it happen Mr. President with no toodles? You just had to interject your thoughts into the arrest of Henry Gates last night. This was a local matter and frankly none of your damned business. You referred to the stupidity of the police. How do you think that has settled in across this country and how will that help to unite America? www.politicsdaily.com/2009/07/22/pds-lynn-sweet-asks-the-presidentAnd here is the police report. Draw your own conclusions. bit.ly/x8OzI

We haven't heard the end of this yet. Bill Cosby came out today questioning why Odumbo would interject himself into this without knowing the facts. Also, the arresting officer has a wonderful track record and actually teaches classes on racial profiling. A few are trying to make him look like the bad guy in this. Mark my words, it will blow up in their faces.

If it had been a burglary and no one did anything about it, the blacks would say it was because they were black and no one wanted to help them. You can't win. THEY are the ones who are racists.
Has anyone ever counted how many of what race have been stopped on the street at night and asked for information as to what they are doing? All you have to do is to answer the police and be polite. Some people just want a big fuss about nothing and then slap the word, RACE on it. Then they call in Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton and a bunch of blind followers to have a big doings. I am sick of it.
There is so much crime anymore and I think the police must have reason to stop people who are acting strange at night. I wonder how long we will have anyone who wants to be a policeman. They are treated so poorly.
I know that Obama is a racist. I keep reading all the time about how and why he wants special privileges for blacks and Mexicans. It has been his goal all along but it is only coming out in little bits. What is he going to say about the black people in Africa who stole their own people to sell to the slavers? No one ever talks about that.
We sure could use another Martin Luther King who just wanted color blind people.

This Gates business is taking on a life of its own. Obambi is not going to come away looking very good, indeed. Cops all over the country, both black and white, took umbrage at Obambi's remarks.

Hope you're right on that buck,,,admittedly there are some bad cops,,over-zealous,etc. But,,all in all,,they have a dangerous job and so many times night time hours where they are at most risk. My take on Odumbo,,,again,,,(how many times does he do this?),, opening his flap on something he should keep his mouth shut on and again inciting "race". I have this vision of the lil creep Charles Manson sitting in his pen thinking,,"Oh,,if I was only free."

There will always be some dishonest cops but I think most of them are wanting to do what is right. Can you imagine being harrassed all the time and given a bad time when you stopped someone for a traffic violation? I think some of those people purposely want a big confrontation so they can call in the likes of Jesse Jackson. I remember when I worked in Texas, it was at the time when blacks were supposed to be hired if your company was doing work for the government. One black girl was just wonderful and became my good friend. Another one did things to get people mad. She kept green onions in her desk and ate them every few hours. People complained about the smell. She wore a plastic bag on her head so she wouldn't get smoke in her hair. This was back in the day when most people smoked. She purposely did things wrong in her job so she could have arguments. Finally when she was fired, she refused to turn in her badge and she hid in the building somewhere. She did all this on purpose so she could scream PREJUDICE. I have seen people set up the police like this too. I watch a lot of those COP programs and I really do not see how anyone wants that job.
