Obama on Gates Controversy

[FrancisOusephK]

Look carefully at the report filed by the Cops. Gates was downright abusive whereas the cop was simply doing his job.In this Obama is not racist he is simply stupidd.

[lovein1996]

fuck obama

[purpleelaine07]

This is my guy! Never have I seen a president do this!~LETS NOT FORGET THE FACTS HERE!

[ptsmmrs]

it makes me wonder what would have happened if he didnt ckeck for ID and it turned out not to be gates and he robbed the place blind after the cops left.

[blekdood]

it would be a fucked up situation.. but the thing is, gates already proven that he's the solely owner of the house..

[ptsmmrs]

ya,he presented his ID well after playing the race card and figured out it wasnt going to work this time.the cop was right.

[blekdood]

yea .. cos the race card always in play..

[ptsmmrs]

i cant understand why a cop would want to make sure the person in the house is the person who owns the house after being called there..LOL some people will shoehorn race into everything.

[232323C]

typical example of police disrespect for citizens..they think their above.....to come to a mans home and drag him off...your all hypocrites..you wouldnt like it and would have resisted too......they have no rightr to come to our homes when we have done nothing......too much power TOO MUCH!

[232323C]

SCREW JAMES CROWELY AND THE FUZZ........nazis

[augustine86]

This nigger needs to go back to africa matter of fact all niggers need to go back to africa white power

[blekdood]

and u should go back to europe u caucasian fuck.. give the lands back to indians ..

[thebing69]

Fuck Henry Louis Gates! Fucking crybaby porch monkey! Niggers talk so much fucking shit! Always talking! And fuck Obama! He's a black radical at heart! We all know it now! He's not for Americans, he's for loud talking, screaming butt monkey America!

[LongIslandEddie]

In a televised national forum, over a million American citizens asked you whether or not, a review of the marijuana laws in America might help our failed economy. You gave them 5 seconds, and blew them off, even laughed about it.

Now, one black professor has a problem with law enforcement and you've tied America up by dwelling upon an every-day issue.

Is it that you are partial to Mr. Gates than you are to millions who asked about a review of the unjust marijuana laws? Do we read you right?

[LongIslandEddie]

Mr. Obama,

This issue would've remained fairly unimportant and at a local level, if not for you. It was your 2 cents, given at national level, that gave this incident the magnitude that it has now.

Because you put your unsolicited foot, into your mouth, over the issue, taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill for the round trip airfares while you wipe the egg off of your face with Budweiser.

If this is the way that you'll be "growing our economy", we're really in a sad state now.

[rayrickmond]

This country is more divided and racist than i have ever seen it .

You can not watch the news without some racist issue on it .

Obama is making me sick.

You tell a cop off and you get rewarded by having a beer

[232323C]

BRAINWASHED.....

[derrhewitt]

I don't see anything wrong here with obama's comment.

The cops act stupidly in terms of arresting Gate in his own house for no legal reason. However, I blame Gates for this mess in terms of "pulling the race card"; Gates should have been more rational when talking to the police. Gates acted stupidly as well.

How can someone be racist, when his or her gene(being) is of black and white? That is like hating oneself. OBAMA IS NOT RACIST!! You punks are; you guys know yourselves.

[SamsCall]

Out of all comments I have read on this, yours was most balanced and accurate and I especially liked how you ended with that last paragraph.

[232323C]

Right on! I agree......finally one with some common sense

[NiceVideos11]

WHITE POWER!!!! KILL THE NIGGERS

[MrPuertorican2]

white cops are asses black and latino cops known how to deal with this white cops are racist

[augustine86]

Not all

[kvarsity10]

One of the most disgusting ''puss outs'' i have ever seen. We're F.cked with this president. You showed ur colors Obama...  President Bigot

[Dorian090]

you think the cops would put two and two together seeing that his family portrait is hanging all over+

[NiceVideos11]

WHITE POWER!!!!!!!

[sugarmapletree]

Poorly done, Mr. President.

[rollinsmr]

Ok Obama you dumb ass. This situation doesn't show we have profiling in this country. It's shows that if Obama would shut his hole this situation wouldn't even be in the news. Obama you are the president use your brain before you open your mouth. Everything you say makes the news.

[dorkf1sh]

And I thought Bush was dumb....

[frananne58]

Pres getting into this shows what a mess our Country is in! I have been harrassed by police (white:white) & almost spent night in jail b/c I argued re a ticket b/c HE DID NOT SEE the temp tag on a new vehicle. Never been in trouble in my life. Typical police harrassment. No freedom of speech, that's a joke! Same situation as Gates' happened to my daughters (black officer/white kids). Reverse discrimination though we are used to it/ignore it. Sick of race card always being played. Just life.

[155Millimeter]

Blacks always do this such bullsh#t... And obama is just a d@mn racist who wanna step in and help out his brotha, thinking that whitey is being racist again, Imagine if this guy Obama was your boss, and gates was your co-worker, and gates told obama that he thought you were racist... All h#ll would break loose for you at work. This is what blacks do. I've experienced this...

[Stingerbillion]

No i completely agree with you. Blacks will always back their brothers while whites will do the same with their brothers. It's like this everywhere, so i am not surprised why he called canbridge police "stupid".

[frananne58]

I agree 155. Obama tried to hide it but is now showing true colors! Lost all respect. Racist as h__l! All know not to argue with PO. Almost like Gates staged this so he could cry racist! Just another Sharpton/Jackson thing! That's all these racists live for! And the poor lady who called 911. The operator was intimidating, Crowley (or someone else turned her words around in report), & Gates called her racist! Wonder why crimes are committed & no one seems to have "seen or heard" anything! Huh?

[155Millimeter]

This is what Obama lives for! His whole plan was to get into the white house, and then turn it into the black house. Even his d@mn mother-in-law move in like the Jeffersons! WTF! He just put that racist "Soto" B#tch into office, and his racist b#tch @ss wife looks like King Kong's baby sister...

[Paulwander]

@frananne58

Good, some of you white Americans are real fucking un civilised savages. You should come visit Europe and see how civilised we are, this sort of shit never happens. Some but not all of you people disgust me.

[gotgank]

@Paulwander Sure, the Islamic riots in Paris are a good example. Or the riots at the football games....civilized stuff, like that, right?

[TheBrandond20]

@frananne58 he's half white 

[666bosshogg]

Jesus Christ, is anyone as tired of niggers as I am. I'd call the cops too if I saw one trying to force a door open. Wake up white people!

[navyman0290]

BHO is nothing but a BIGOT , How Bil AYERS you dick head in chief?

[navyman0290]

During his tenure on the board of Chicago's Woods Fund, that body funneled more than $200,000 to Acorn. More recently, the Obama campaign paid $832,000 to an Acorn affiliate. The campaign initially told the Federal Election Commission this money was for "staging, sound, lighting." It later admitted the cash was to get out the vote...

[armandor]

Obama esta demostrando una gran paciencia para el trato de temas importantes del mundo actual y como mensajero de paz, papel que ha asumido con mucha humildad, en un mundo agraviado con la crisis internacional que afecta a grandes y pequenos, no importa color, religion o cualquier otra diferencia superficial que se tenga, este presidente esta haciendo lo posible y que esta a su alcance para hacer las cosas lo mejor posible. La humildad debe ser premiada con todo el apoyo que se le pueda dar.

[joalmoore]

LOL to the spanish!

[IFUCANTCME]

You've taken my ancestors history and revised it so it gives the illusion white supremacists who before lived in caves and ate their young and raped their women and children, have always had the esoteric wisdom my ancestors being the great travelers they were, BROUGHT TO YOU.

It's funny because you people worship us yet can stand the site of us. You are so jealous that your theories and mechanical inclinations can only reproduce the actions not the spirit i.e. energy behind the machine.

[IFUCANTCME]

You are not the solution. You as a white person are a white supremacist because you have to be. It's written in the legal systems, the schools, the social organizations, the multimedia, and even in the internet.You do not understand the psychosomatic effects being forced to live and think below your means and potential has on people of color.Shit...your white you are immune to having to REALLY DEAL with the thoughts that produce the actions you people make.

[IFUCANTCME]

White people are the sickness constantly devising new ways to reassert themselves a the cure. This has been going on for literally centuries. So, don't insult my intelligence, minimize my experiences by down playing a shared trauma methodically cultivated by a group of psychopaths since the roman empire, by twiddling it down to a few simple steps as putting in a light bulb.

[IFUCANTCME]

More on this, I've watched white supremacist grow obsessed when a person of color exerts their authority as a divine being and human on this planet to the point they can be classified as stockers. Like the pig Crowley, their actions are seen as normal because it falls in line with the precepts of whiteness, where a white supremacist has the right to protect their family or themselves especially when People of Color R out of sync with unspoken social rules of conduct in regards 2 white supremacy.

[IFUCANTCME]

They do not know there history nor do they want to know how sick and satanic the foundation of this country is and the mass murders, psychological and spiritual terrorist tactics that have been used to subdue and render melinated peoples powerless. You do not understand my anger because as a white supremacist whether you are actively involved in overt hate groups or not, you can deflect (as whiteness does naturally) onslaughts of your character and spirit.

[IFUCANTCME]

if you've spent most of your life on one side of the pendulum and I have lived my life on the other simplicity is not the way to go. Often times white supremacists will feign ignorance along with an childish tone when they attempt to "teach" people of color on matters concerning the art of living a human existence.

[RamoneTalarico]

"African Americans are sensitive to these issues"

What about the other black people who live here too though? you know, the ones who don't have dual citizenship between Africa and America?

[mikelunz]

[gomroughneck]

While Sgt. Crowley is having to defend himself by doing his job the President is making jokes.

[aj122919]

nothingspecial329 I invite u to think objectively and not just side with ppl of your race. While we can't determine that the incident was racially motivated, we can't determine it was a 'simple fucking mistake' either. African Americans have suffered gr8 injustices at the hands of Caucasians and u don't expect us to just catch convenient amnesia and act like it never happened. While I'm sure not every white person in america is racist, lets quit acting like racism is dead cos it just aint!

[rw5791]

every cop in america,when they put their vest on and strap on the firearm,needs to know that their president thinks they are stupid.That's a hell of a thing.

[clemssss]

sigh

[bigtex501]

For you obamer supporters....

Another obamer secret that's a public record that's being kept a secret;

obamer while attending Harvard, received 17 parking violations from the Cambridge P.D. It was NOT until 1 week before he announced his run for the Presidency, did he finally pay his parking tickets. It took obamer only 18 years to finally catch up with his fines.

So..... obamer's quite familiar with the Cambridge P.D. and he may STILL have a score to settle with them!

Go obamer!

[butterflybloom1]

Thank god the president did not apologize. I would have lost respect for him if he did. He is a president that does not mean that he can't have an opinion. He is a blackman and he knows about racial profiling and that race is a factor in america. The cop did act stupid to arrest the man in his own home after the person showed him id that he lived there. You all know that racism exists but you are so ashamed that you get bent out of shape when you are reminded, especially a black president

[chfireball]

He was not arrested because he was in his own home!!!!! but because he was abusive to a officer

gezz ppl get the facts!! and stop playing the race card

[chfireball]

The problem is when you overreact with police, that can land you in jail.. except most people don't get the charges dropped!

[Nightrunner529]

Gates, who makes $250,000 a year at Harvard, tried to pull the all to often used "race card" and it backfired when black & Hispanic cops present vouched for the police. Gates claimed the usual "victim status" but this time it didn't work. What a worthless piece of feces he is.

[ZuluUltra]

"...black & Hispanic cops present vouched for the police."

The key word is "cops." Without their police uniforms, those same black and hispanic cops are at the same risk in their own houses as Gates was. They are still "niggers" and "spics" to white racist cops like crowley.

Those black and hispanic cops only support crowley because they are approval-dependent weaklings who crave the acceptance of whites who can only hate them.

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

Here's the Obama translation:

"My instant reaction was to think like a black man (even though I'm half-white and was raised by whites). I should have kept my big mouth shut because the BLACK police officer has stated Gates was acting strangely and he believes the police acted correctly. So again, I'm sorry my initial reaction was to 'think black.'"

[OLKID2000]

Sometimes white people make me laugh when they talk about racism. When you will see a country, or even a white country were white can't go to the beach, can't go to restaurant because it's forbidden for dogs and for them like it was the case in South Africa, then white people will know what is the real racism !!!

[Nightrunner529]

Key word "was". Ain't anymore. What beach can't you go to? What reataurant can't you eat in? Racial huskterism doesn't work anymore. The race card doesn't work anymore. Its now exposed as the scam it is. lol.

[973trina]

Much respect Nightrunner529, I agree there are no beaches, restaurants, etc that are blatantly off limits to any race. But what happens in some cases are that racial undertones or separation or being ignored is acted out. Unfortunately still in thic country there are prejudices and racial stereotypes that are perpetrated contantly. I think if we looked at this case and cases across the country past and present with alittle more unbias we can open our selves up to learn and the country can heal

[nothinspecial329]

I live and work in a predominately black city. Don't attempt to make it sound like only whites can be racist. There was no racism in this case, it is a simple fucking mistake. Most times those "racial undertones" and "separation" are promoted by blacks just has often as whites in the past. The day of mostly white racists is long gone. Gates is a racist (well known) and Obama skirts the issues.

[OLKID2000]

I'm okay to say "was" but many white people don't understand that... May be you what happened in Philly swimming pool last week... And it was racism against children !!! Show me an exemple like that for white people. I hope you will be honest despite your confederate flag...

[chfireball]

White " people " were slaves and know " real racism " what is real racism btw?

[rockytopfarm]

Ron Paul 2012

[itechfan]

pres. obama's reaction is a common impulsive reasoning when minorities are believed to be mistreated even when there's a valid cause for the situation...im against racism but its irritating when one tries to reason like when youre ignorant of the facts...always using what you call the "racial discrimination scapegoat" ..just to get what you want...

[itechfan]

I am a teacher and I talk everyday and I have been very careful of my words , like stupid is unacceptable..the damage has been done and this only goes to show and im scared whats more to come regarding his fallacies...i hope he will do better next time to erase my impression on hi..i voted for him and this is sad...

[itechfan]

I expect him to be careful of his choice of words as president...he is biased and even if he knew the facts, he should not be involved with this...just because they are friends, then he steps in..what a special treatment..

[NifoOtiBoy]

OBAMA = FAIL

[moonfaze]

Can you imagine if Mr. John McCain were president and the situation were reversed? This is not the first time obam has shown his racist side, and it probably won't be the last. Funny how people often criticize in others what they themselves feel...

[atindoll]

The president acted stupidly in saying what he said. they police answered to a call regarding two people breaking in a home.....sorry the cops and a bunch of other people didn't know that was gates home. the fact is more often than not people of black or hispanic origion always accuse white cops of racism even if the cops are just asking a simple question. I have seen it many times and done it myself when annoyed by a cop.

[butterflybloom1]

And you were there so you know what happened. You were not there so you can't say what happened and that anybody was crying racism. Even if you do it or claim to do it, that does not mean that every black or hispanic person cry racism and that racial profiling doesn't exist or never happened in this case. What the hell knowledge you have to know that more often or not black or hispanic always cry racism. You are acting stupid in what you are saying not the president.

[chfireball]

No I am posting facts.. your post I cannot understand?

[atindoll]

Racial profiling is the inclusion of racial or ethnic characteristics in determining whether a person is likely to commit a particular type of crime or an illegal act or to behave in a "predictable" manner.If you ream my post again you will realize that i never said it doesn't happen. In this case it didn't happen. Or perhaps it did but to the white cop. (More often) being the key words does not mean (every). Im not president and don't represent every US citizen so no im not acting stupid.

[butterflybloom1]

You need to read my response again because I asked you what knowledge do you have to know that more often or not black or hispanic cry racism. You perceiving to judge who is lying or telling the truth without being there. You have your opinion that the president acted stupid and I think you acted stupid by making that statement. Your opinion about whether perhaps the cop was subjected to racial profile means nothing to me because you have prejudge the incident without being present

[atindoll]

if i have prejudged the incident without being present so have you to assume that what i said is not what happend considering you weren't there. If i say more often than not its because ive seen it or lived it. Every one has an opinion, but like i said i don't represent a nation of different races. It is a stupid act for a president who needs to be neutral to give the impression of picking a side considering he needs all races to be on the same page to make things happen.

[butterflybloom1]

How am I prejudging the incident by telling you that you are. It is clear that you are. You were not there so you don't know what happened. You don't know who is at fault or who is telling the truth because you weren't there. You want me to tell you that you are right and I know you weren't there and I wasn't there. That makes no sense to me. You must be God to be everywhere in this country to know that black and hispanic more often than not cry racism. Gimme a break.

[atindoll]

I don't want you to tell me anything, it doesn't affect me if you think im right or wrong. What makes you think things didn't happen the way i said. Your assuming that the other party is correct. Obviously im not god... what a silly comment. Im going based on my experiences and cases ive seen and heard about. Everyone in the heat of the momment when feeling disrespected always look for an excape or a reason to be right even if they are wrong.

[butterflybloom1]

I am not assuming that anybody is correct. You said "everyone in the heat of the moment when feeling disrespected always look for an escape or a reason to be right even if they are wrong" So couldn't that include cops also. Well, according to you only black and hispanic people cry racism. You sound like a white racist. I had cases and heard about cases where cops lie and get caught , do I go around and say more often than not cops lie. No. Your reason for your judgment makes no sense to me

[atindoll]

its pretty interesting that you would assume im white. racial profiling goes on all the time with all races. And in this case i don't think the cop racialy profiled the Prof. To me it does seem like Mr. Gates racialy profiled the cop. Unless your assuming that the hispanic and black cop that were there also are racist for standing behind the white officer. There has also been cases where people lie about the way they are treated by cops....

[SeriousForce]

these police do to much big stuff about this, if you look at them almost them all were white! They should have more black officers there so they could learn!!

[eemontero]

That is the kind of a man you have in US. He is one of the best Presidents you have ever had.

[mikevanross69]

Not !!!!!!
