That is an overly simplistic solution to a symptom. What needs to be done is open communication in this country, so that we can understand there are many different cultures. People on both sides, in this case the officer and the person being questioned, need a good understanding that they are perceiving things from their culture. Gates has likely been the object of racism in the past, and the officer has likely been in a position to be accused of it. One of the things I whole heartedly agree with out President on, is that a complete and open dialogue concerning racism needs to happen. Racism is an issue from both sides, those that portray and those that perceive it. I use the word perceive, as racism may not be occurring.

Who's That Black Man in my White House? - Spadecaller This video characterizes the new yet frightening voice of the Republican Party. Since the election of our first black President, Barack Hussein Obama, the Republican party has gravitated to the fringes of the party’s extreme. A shocking 58 percent of Republicans polled doubt Barack Obama is an American born citizen. Since Obama’a entry into the White House there has been a rise of hate crimes, hate speech from mainstream politicians, threats of secession by state officials, open threats of revolution, and numerous threats against the President’s life. The young presidency has encountered reactionary forces far beyond anything yet experience in American history. In contrast to the astounding fact that a black man succeeded in garnering the support of America’s voting majority, racial tensions have risen to a critical mass and the opposition party is willingly supporting the ideologies traditionally associated with the KKK and White Supremacists. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VTvxn95vaw

Speaking of fringes. Remember kiddies, fire can't melt steel. ...Apparently.

quote: ORIGINAL: Brain Ann Coulter on LKL: Police Aren’t Pulling Over Enough Black People Ann Coulter and the Rev. Al Sharpton appeared on Larry King Live on Thursday night, and Coulter had some interesting comments about racial profiling: we need to do more of it, apparently. Do you think she got that idea from me? Does she read this board? Nice to hear the truth told, even if the messenger is a bit extreme.
