re: #910 Patriot

Damn Charles, for what the third or fourth time?, I’m not defending racism, or the friggin’ picture. I am profoundly offended both by the picture and the need to reiterate.

But more disturbing than the picture is the thought that we will never get out of this maze.

Serious question: Does Dr. Gates deserve “Racist of [another] Day” for his actions? It seems to me that he does. NOT DEFENDING THE PICTURE, but the President is a public figure. Attention is expected.

Dr. Gates however used race - albeit in a different way, to attempt (succeeded?) to destroy the reputation of what seems to be a model policeman.

If we’re going to call it when we see, how about let’s call it *every time* we see it.

How about let’s read the rest of the day’s posts?
