There's been a lot of talk, well maybe I shouldn't call it talk because that implies coherent speech. There's been a lot of chimp-like grunting from cons like Tutu/meme, RSR and their fellow bottom feeders, about Professor Gates and President Obama being "racists".
I don't even bother with them or the stupid posts they make because what's the point? They walllow in their ignorance and are racists themselves.
Here is the real racism in this country. It is institutionalized. It is in the cops, it is in doctors, it is in teachers. Imagine being a person of color and not knowing if the doctor you are seeing for your serious illness just sent out a mass email with President Obama portrayed as a witch doctor with a bone through his nose as the the Florida neurosurgeon who was President of a medical association and a leading anti-health reform crusader, just did. Now, maybe you are seeing him because you have a brain tumor. Nothing you go see a neurosurgeon for is going to be particularly good. You don't even know if your doctor views you as human, and you are forced to put your life in his hands.
How'd you like to be a person of color and have this thug (story below) have complete power over you during a traffic stop?
This is what the screams of "the coloreds are racist!" are covering up. And anytime I see someone say that I know them to be a racist. And I don't give a shit what they say. They may fool you. They don't fool me, and they don't fool any smart or educated person.
Boston cop calls Gates 'banana-eating jungle monkey' in mass e-mail
The Fox affiliate in Boston has published the text of the email Boston police officer Justin Barrett sent in which he referred to Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., as a "banana-eating jungle monkey."
It now appears Barrett's email was a letter to the editor of the Boston Globe, complaining of the Globe's coverage of the Gates arrest on July 16.
Of Gates, Barrett wrote: "He is a suspect and will always be a suspect."
"If I was the officer [Gates] verbally assaulted like a banana-eating jungle monkey, I would have sprayed him in the face with OC [pepper spray] deserving of his belligerent non-compliance."
Barrett then went on to berate the author of the Globe article to which he objected.
"You are a hot little bird with minimal experiences in a harsh field," Barrett wrote. "You are a fool. An infidel. You have no business writing for a US newspaper nevermind detailing and analyzing half-truths."
AP reported that "Barrett was trained in racial profiling prevention and had shown no signs of racial discrimination in the past."
Barrett's tirade has spawned an instant flurry of comments on blogs and talk shows.
"If this is what [police officers are] putting in emails, imagine what they're saying in private," blogged The Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan.
