Dear Jim,
Would you be so kind as to mention the following to Mr. Gates and President Obama during your meeting with them:
One of the major problems stemming from the events of July 16 is that I, now known as 'the black Sergeant', have had my image plastered all over the Internet, television and newspapers. Subsequently, I have also become known, at least to some, as an 'Uncle Tom.'
I'm forced to ponder the notion that as a result of speaking the truth and coming to the defense of a friend and collegue, who just happens to be white, that I have somehow betrayed my heritage.
Please convey my concerns to the President that Mr. Gates' actions may have caused grave and potentially irreparable harm to the struggle for racial harmony in this country and perhaps throughout the world.
In closing, I would simply like to ask that Mr. Gates deeply reflect on the events that have unfolded since July 16 and ask himself the following questions:
'What can I do to help heal the rift caused by some of my actions?; What responsibility do I bear for what occurred on July 16, 2009? Is there anything I can do to mitigate the damage done to the reputations of two respected Police Officers?'
Thank you in advance,
Your friend,
Leon K. Lashley

Guess what, Sandhusker...I never thought you were racist...thwarted and misguided yes...but not racist.

Reader think about Miss Piggy...who is the star? Who is the prettest? Who does everyone know? OMGAWD to be able to carry off a boa in a barnyard...Not just anyone can do that.reader (the Second) said:You're labeled a racist if you tell racist jokes or use racist terms to refer to people of other ethnic or racial backgrounds. Like Buckwheat, Sasquatch, African lion, spade, etc.
Demeaning, pejorative terms applied to people that malign them due to their race or facial features, etc.
Similar with gender and frankly with other highly personal insults about people's religion. The Michelle Malkin post...
I haven't made a stink about having a poster whose tagline refers to me as "Miss Piggy" because it reflects worse on them than on me but I will object over and over to frequent posters here who use racially charged terms like Buckwheat.
reader (the Second) said:You missed the point. We were not there and don't have an audio video recording nor did we witness it with our own eyes / ears. You don't know what the cop said or how he said it. That doesn't let Gates off the hook for being belligerent but my point was we were not there and we certainly are not inside the heads of the two parties.
Regardless of how belligerent Gates was, he was not a threat to the officer and I still want to know why he was arrested, in his own home.
hypocritexposer said:That's the problem Reader. It's not going away.
Have you noticed the racist label more freely being tossed around since this incident.
It was going on here in PB long before the Gates ordeal.
It is quite obvious if you do not agree with Obama, your are labelled a racist.
look at how the MSM tried to justify Obama's statement.
Sandhusker said:Reader, "We don't know who pushed whose button and why or what they ate or whose wife yelled at them that day or who had had no sleep or who was having a testosterone surge for whatever reason."
"I was grumpy" is no defense that a judge will buy.
That's great to hear. Then the next time Mike makes an ugly racist remark, we can expect you to stand up and object, then, right?
Sandhusker said:He was arrested because he wouldn't shut his damn mouth even after he was told to. That's what happens when you get mouthy with a cop.
reader (the Second) said:hypocritexposer said:I have never tried to explain away any of Mike's more ridiculus racist remarks, at all.
bring the quotes, maybe you could name the instance off the top of your head, and I'll even find the quotes.
That's great to hear. Then the next time Mike makes an ugly racist remark, we can expect you to stand up and object, then, right?
