Good comment mate!
I’m white & like people for who they are, not what they are!
There are plenty like me too!
Greed & pride are the worst things in the world.
We ALL belong to the Earth!
Don’t forget, white people don’t like all white people either!

hey don’t get me twisted. read the whole script before you throw around words like attack and racist. i’m merely defending my point. i NEVER called anyone here a racist. i am not one. i’m merely pointing a realistic fact. and yes, not everyone is a conscious racist, but there is a significant number of individuals, many of influence, who are.
on a personal note, i was born and raised in New Orleans and I live in race-divided Chicago, so i know for a fact racism is still out there.

Actually…. I’ve been there and although there are unfortunately some people who are still out there the reality is we’re living in a new era and most people are not racist. we (people of color) can’t go around thinking everyone hates us because of the color of our skin. Whats even more important is we don’t become racist ourselves. attacking Caucasians by calling them racist is racist in itself. Think about it.

Excuse yourself. The cop never lost his cool that was apparent from the start to the finish, the harvard prof can’t say that. The issue is Obama profiled this officer to make a racial iincident for his motives it was a planned question and statement, nothing to do with subject matter but one he hoped would build sympathy and a following for his programs, it backfired. Some constitutional lawyer obama is his only concern was his buddy not the truth. Now if that doesn’t shut u up noting will

… have you guys ever considered that there is such thing as reverse racism. if gates was white and the cop was black this wouldn’t even be an issue. I’m a woman of color and I’m very disappointed in the turn our nation is taking.

This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. It has to do with allowing the police to do the job that we hired them to do. Just because the charges are thrown out or dropped, does not mean that they serve no purpose. The purpose is to give the police an ability to control the situation so that they can do their job properly, and not stupidly. What harm comes from cooperating with the police?
