This Bud’s for Racial Accommodation
In the annals of White House racial initiatives, President Barack Obama’s “suds summit” is clearly a first. In gathering together Henry Louis Gates Jr. of Harvard and Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department in Massachusetts, the president sought to help ease some of the pain — by quaffing some drafts of barley and hops — that has emerged for both the participants and the nation in what has become known as the “Gatesgate” controversy of alleged racial profiling and recrimination.
It’s worth recounting the dramatic backdrop:
The shocking news came on July 16: Gates, perhaps the country’s top scholar of African-American studies, was arrested at his Cambridge home as he returned from a trip to China. Police responded to a 911 report on an attempted break-in at the residence. Upon arriving, Sgt. James Crowley, the initial officer at the scene, confronted an angry Gates. At Crowley’s request for the professor to step outside for questioning, Gates — who had already alleged racial discrimination — snapped back, “Yeah, I’ll speak with your mama outside.”
According to the police report, Gates was “loud and tumultuous” and his behavior “served no legitimate purpose and caused citizens passing by this location to stop and take notice while appearing surprised and alarmed.” Allegations of racist cops, exacerbated by news photos of Gates handcuffed on his front porch, immediately ignited a roaring national debate on race in America.
The controversy might have stayed localized, except that in response to reporter Lynn Sweet’s question during a prime-time press conference on July 22, President Obama said that “the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home.” The statement was ill-informed and was immediately seen as White House interference on the side of the embattled Gates. The backlash was enormous. The Cambridge police organizations quickly joined in arms behind the blue line. The local Fraternal Order of Police condemned Obama, saying, “He wasn’t there, and he doesn’t know what happened.” That was quickly followed by demands for an apology from a group of multiracial police officers standing in solidarity with Sgt. Crowley.
Perhaps most importantly, President Obama’s statements called into question his philosophical and policy commitments to a “post-racial” America. As a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2004, Obama proclaimed at the Democratic National Convention: “There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America — there’s the United States of America.”
During the presidential primaries in 2008, responding to the race controversy surrounding Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s “God damn America” sermons, then-Senator Obama declared of the American mosaic: “It is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts — that out of many, we are truly one.” Despite being hailed as “Lincolnesque,” and as even recalling the words of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Senator Obama never actually denounced the race-hatred of his mentor Jeremiah Wright.
Moreover, throughout the primary campaign Obama was never too “transcendent” to react quickly to any perceived racial slights. Obama attacked Geraldine Ferraro for her suggestion that “if Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position.” Obama also acccused Hillary Clinton of slighting the legacy of Dr. King when she charged in January 2008 that “it took a president” to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As the Wall Street Journal put it at the time:
We’re not suggesting that the Obama campaign has never been justified in crying foul over racially tinged remarks out of the Clinton camp. When Bill Clinton gratuitously invoked Jesse Jackson after Mr. Obama won the South Carolina primary, he was clearly trying to define the senator’s victory in narrowly racial terms.
But for all of Mr. Obama’s soaring rhetoric about the nation’s need for a post-racial politics that “brings the American people together,” his campaign at times has seemed overly sensitive about race. It also seems to want it both ways. Mr. Obama claims that his brand of politics transcends race, but at the same time he’s using race as a shield to shut down important and legitimate arguments.
This background is crucial to understanding President Obama’s intervention on behalf of Gates last week. For despite Democratic Party racial infighting, the president has continued to promote a “transcendent” agenda of a “post-racial” America. When Obama announced his recent nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, he was emphatic in proclaiming her appointment as affirming America’s commitment to opportunity for all. The president said, “When Sonia Sotomayor ascends those marble steps to assume her seat on the highest court in the land, America will have taken another important step toward realizing the ideal that is etched about its entrance: Equal justice under the law.”
“Gates, perhaps the country’s top scholar of African-American studies”
Top scholar? If Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is the best—I hate to see the worst! This is the same academic who argued that the disgusting rap lyrics of 2 Live Crew were comparable to the works of Shakespeare. I am sorry but this man is something of a fraud. He is also a cruel reminder that Harvard University is vastly overrated. One can almost take it for granted that any Afro-American or brown skinned professor who emphasizes their alleged authenticity is a second rate, pseudo-educated hack. Mediocrities tend to hide behind the race card.
Obama really can’t produce a post racial moment because he isn’t post racial. His position on this is very much the same as all of his others. He talks center but acts left. Anything he says is all about getting re-elected and keeping the democrats in power.
It seems that the “straw man argument” is more and more being used in the presentation of “straw man assumptions”, i.e., assuming that obama actually wants to “heal racial wounds” or “be a post-racial president”.
I have seen nothing to indicate that he actually wants (or ever wanted) to do either of those things, while obviously he has frequently said he did. Big difference between those two.
Arafat and Rabin would be in awe at this display of exemplary diplomacy in the face of such global condemnation; This is truly on a scale Obama and Biden have the expertise to engage. We are so proud!
This demonstrates what expertise Obama and Biden have in negotiating “high profile” conflicts. I am so proud!
Would it be rude to note that this display accomplished exactly nothing? Well, a few more citizens have learned that electing a man with no significant accomplishments is not likely to produce good results. What could the president have hoped to accomplish with this weird farce?
Gates still thinks he is right and Crowley is a racist. Crowley still thinks Gates is a jerk, and would do exactly the same thing in the same situation next time. Obama still blathers nonsense, which the media tries vainly to spin. The citizens notice that they have elected a glib but clueless cipher.
Probably the only change is that the next time someone breaks into Gates’ house, it will not be reported.
We don’t like to recognize the existence of amoral individuals, but in fact they do exist. What do amoral people do? They exploit the good will of everyone else, except for the bad actors who know how to reap the benefit of their opportunistic complicity.
The possibility of having elected an amoral person to the highest office is even harder to contemplate, but it deserves a good, hard look. Consider this: Lefty logic is often a distant echo of the soviet propaganda of long ago. The soviets where at a disadvantage because their economy was anemic, by design. To compensate for this handicap, they recognized the possibility of demoralizing the adversary. They got busy with it, and got a lot of mileage out of this systematic and often skillful effort. Even the scientific leader of the Manhattan project was himself a communist symphatizer!
Now, what “demoralizing” means, exactly? Superfically, it means sapping the morale of the opponent. But in the long term, it givers credence to the arguments against morality, or more precisely, the advocacy of the obsolescence of morality, as exemplified by the systematic glorification of amoral behavior by the so-called “entertainment” industry.
Amoral behavior has long been typical of politicians, to one degree or another. Our president is often admired for his sublime political instincts. That only means that he is a better chameleon than the others, and shamelessly brandishes moral arguments for whatever expediency value they may have with the audience of the moment. It also means that there is a large fraction of the electorate sufficiently indifferent to morality to let him get away with it. Let’s face it, “demoralized” really means whatever is left of you after a selective lobotomy has removed morality from your thought process!
No wonder the man could not resist throwing a public insult at a police officer caught in the middle of a racially charged situation! A true post-racial president would have known to shut up. It’s hard for a chameleon to show his true colors, but it eventually happens! The true nature of the grandstanding opportunist has started to be recognized, by folks who have done their homework to reach color blindness at the personal level, the only one that really matters. A politician trying to moralize by opening beer bottles is a lot more dangerous than an ordinary fool.

..oh puh-leez! Flush out your head gear, new guy!
It was an attempt by a bumbling, incompetent to extricate his tit from the wringer inserted by his flapping lips.
As a typical politician’s triumph of form over substance, it failed miserably. If there is any success to be ascribed to it, none would be the fault of the affirmative-action prez or the affirmative-action prof, but a dignified and honorable white policeman.
How much longer do whites have to be subjected to this charge of racism by blacks with chips on their shoulder and liberals with massive guilt complexes?
“…assuming that obama actually wants to “heal racial wounds” or “be a post-racial president”.”
Barack Obama, on a gut level, has no interest whatsoever to “heal racial wounds.” All leftists go out of their way to sandpaper the wounds to keep them raw and bleeding. There would be no Democratic Party if we truly lived in a post racial society. Obama’s whole adult life has revolved around exploiting guilt tripped whites. He has no idea how to do otherwise. It defines him existentially from beginning to end.
There’s no way this will ever be resolved if we can’t even agree on the facts. Phillips should have known better than this:
That’s nonsense. He wasn’t arrested for burglary, he was arrested for making a public disturbance.
As far as I know, Gates hasn’t disputed the police report. That being the case, it stands as the complete record of the facts.
Douglas, you’re an idiot. Post-racial America? The very website you’re publishing this on has this article:
http://pajamasmedia.com/phyllischesler/2009/07/30/child-barbarians-in-phoenix-obama-extends-their-stay/
And the very first paragraph reads:
Most Americans have no idea how different our culture is from cultures in the Middle East, central Asia, or Africa. If differences are acknowledged, America and the West are blamed for them. The barbarism, genocide, perpetual civil and religious wars, the cruelties of Sharia law (stoning, cross-amputations, be-heading), and the utterly tragic treatment of women, children, and the poor in the Third World– all are blamed on western imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism.
Not true–or so I have been arguing for years. Some barbarism is indigenous to a region.
Indeed, what a wonderful post-racial America we live in. If you want a post-racial America, I would look a little closer to home to make a start, rather than continually harping on the first African-American president. What stupid BS.
“In gathering together Henry Louis Gates Jr. of Harvard and Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department in Massachusetts, the president sought to help ease some of the pain — by quaffing some drafts of barley and hops — that has emerged for both the participants and the nation in what has become known as the “Gatesgate” controversy of alleged racial profiling and recrimination.”
..oh, puh-leez! Flush out your head gear, new guy!
It was a failed attempt by a bumbling incompetent to extract his tit from a wringer inserted by his flapping lips. It was a typical politically correct exercise in form over substance and it was a desperate attempt at a photo-op by a man whose popularity is tanking daily.
If there was any success to be ascribe to this charade, it would not be because of an affirmative-action prez or an affirmative-action prof, but because of a decent and honorable (and competent) policeman.
So, how much longer are earnest whites going to have to take this crap from blacks with chips on their shoulder and NPR-liberals with massive guilt complexes?
I concur with David Thomson. Gates is a hysterical and pompous fraud and Obama is an Empty Suit. The ludicrous suds summit represents no racial accommodation. It’s farce.
..as a note, I did not purloin the Bohemond post. A screw-up on my browser put that ID and e-mail into the form. I guess I was a victim here.
#1-Hate to disillusion you further but in
his comparison to Shakespeare Gates goofed
and quoted Burns. Gates and Biden should
team up.
President Obama’s popularity has been falling among every political and demographic group except black people, among whom he enjoys a 97% approval rating. When he answered a reporter’s question about Gates’s arrest with the knee-jerk assumption that Gates had been a victim of racial profiling, the distance between white people’s opinion of Obama and black people’s grew even wider. The same will happen with every issue which race hucksters can construe as a racial issue–which is to say, every issue.
Dear Cybergeezer,
This is a note a French person asked me to post in reply:

1. David Thomson:
“If Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is the best—I hate to see the worst! This is the same academic who argued that the disgusting rap lyrics of 2 Live Crew were comparable to the works of Shakespeare.”
You do realize that Shakespeare had a filthy mind, right? And he applied it liberally to his plays. Google it and you will see. Conservatives, so conveniently provincial.
“In both his campaign and presidency, he has yet to make a serious attempt at healing the racial wounds of this nation…”
Why does this author and everybody else give Obama so much leeway or the benefit of the doubt. His real motives for everything is the destruction of America and its rebirth as one in which minorities are given (more) preferencial treatment. reparations desguised as welfare, tax credits, health care preferences, Med School preferences, etc.
Obama never demonstrated to me that he was post-racial or that he would continue the healing racial process; that was the MSM doing its job of deceiving the public especially the already guilt ridden white middle and upper class, so that they will vote for him.
Exactly the opposite is true because Obama wants the rift between the races to be greater because it gives him more power to delude blacks, more power to fool white elitists, and cover for his follies. He needs the American public to be concerned with race so that he can walk his totalitarian policies in the back door.
“In both his campaign and presidency, he has yet to make a serious attempt at healing the racial wounds of this nation…”
I’m a little late and I don’t want to repeat what Thomson alread said, but it bears noting that nothing that Obama has said or done has demonstrated to me that he is post racial. In fact quite the opposite has happened.
Obama wants the racial divide to widen in order to continue to delude blacks, keep the guilt- ridden white liberals on his side, and provide cover for his American transformation.
“For despite Democratic Party racial infighting, the president has continued to promote a “transcendent” agenda of a “post-racial” America.”
What?? Mr. Douglas you and I are not seeing, reading nor hearing the same president. What has he done to prove his transcendent agenda or post-racial healing??? Please don’t come here and write stuff just to be read. We here do not equivocate nor do we condone writers playing both sides of the game. And since when did the Dems start in-fighting over race. The Dems are the party of color and white elitists.

Yeah, but that was witty double entendre and was done artfully. Not the same as dropping the f-bomb all over the place when talkin’ about Ho’s and and the like homey:

“..liberals, so typically puerile.”
“Now and Then” is almost certainly a moron when it comes to Shakespeare. You and I have probably spent more time accidently studying and researching the great playwright than this individual will ever do during their entire lifetime. Shakespeare is merely a name to them. The odds are that may have not even seen one of his plays.

I did not watch the charade nor would I watch anything Obama does and this exercize in insanity did nothing to make anything better just like anything else he has done or wants to do as president.
Hey Войска ПВО is that Russian for Air Defense Troops? Just wondering or perhaps Просто интересно.
I didn’t vote for Obama, but continuing to flog him over this makes you look like onlookers upset that the fight has ended.
Gates was an ass and Obama blundered into this. But while a beer summit may not appeal to the Harvard professoriate, and people who want to endlessly thrash Obama for other things, it looked good to everyone else. You know who looked most at ease at the “summit”? Obama and the cop. Gates looked like the prig he is.
The combatants shook hands: a white cop had a beer with the black president at the white house. Maybe Obama learned somehting too.
The proclivity of blacks to cry “racism” at the drop of a hat was made to look silly and has been pushed back under the surface where, in another generation maybe, it’ll be almost gone.
The insistence of some black media types that this was “profiling” was made to look absurd–slapped by the facts and maybe the beer summit will contribute to the death of that silly claim.
Obama is a leftist. He is a spender. He is for a a lot of things I am not, but he is doing a pretty decent job of staying out of this racial stuff. Good for him.
One final point, gentlemen. Please consider this analysis of a picture taken in the aftermath of the POTUS Beerfest Photo-op and the contrast with a similar picture of George Bush.
How telling is this of the vapid, narcissistic Boy King?
Gates has done more for the advancement of racism in America in the last 2 weeks than any white could ever hope to do. Thanks to you you academic air head and the great O ring racism is alive and well. Between you you have managed very nicely to push black America further to the fringes of white society. Who the hell wants to get involved with anything black?
If black America really wanted to progress they would put the past behind them and start working collectively to achieve that goal. Had the moderate black community gone out and attacked both Gates, Obama and the press for a shoddy performance all around they would have had, in large part, some genuine white support, and I would like to underline, genuine.
Crowley just can’t help himself.
#32
Agreed! Obama,I guess was going off to his next photo op. (didn’t have time to help his handicapped friend-hats off to Crowley for being a gentelman!-that pic sums it all up.)

Respectfully, you are not serious, are you? I mean, alternate universe stuff like this should be posted over at “The Onion” like the link that the Troll in #34 referred to.
So what I am to understand from all of this is this: There will be a “free beer” clause in the healthcare reform bill?
36: yeah I am serious (and don’t call me “respectfully.”)
Demanding perfection from a leftist enamored of deficits, and steeped in racial politics is not realistic.
Obama has tried hard to stay out of racial issues especially since that nutty preacher was outed in the campaign. The incessant worship by an obsequious media gags me too, but its not Obama’s fault the media gush over him 24/7. His blunder with Gates hopefully won’t be repeated. It would be bad for the country if it were. I think he knows that.
Its not productive to thrash Obama for this anymore, any more than it was to have a case of the vapors when Reagan said the USSR would be bombed in 5 minutes, or Bush made a slip of the tongue. There are bigger issues to be dealt with now. Continuing to harp on this is like a wife with a memory for errors from a year ago.
Budweiser? Yea, Mr. O., you’re just a ‘regular’ guy. Ohhhhh brudda.

I take your point about the bigger fish t fry, but to say that this man has tried to avoid the racial aspect when the whole point of this flap was THAT HE STEPPED IN A MATTER THAT COULD HAVE SOME CREDIBILITY AS A POLICE v. CIVILIAN ISSUE AND MADE IT A RACE ISSUE with the help of Gates.
If the American [idol] public and the state-owned-media wanted or were mature enough to deal with substantive matters as opposed to these little soap operas, then Obama and Biden would have been consigned to the scrap heap of history when that vapid charlatan opted to run for president on the basis of twenty minutes’ record as a do-nothing junior senator from Illinois.
Instead, we have the millieu of a fawning press, swooning public adoration (melting away like a snow cone in the August heat), glistening man-boobs, the rolled-up-sleeves-at-a-beerfest of a slick, fast-food affirmative action Prez, his gaff-o-matic, less-than-capable VPOTUS, and the cadre of clowns on Congress that we have today.
So, you take the high road if you like and I respect you for it. But as for me, well, I am stuck down here in this steaming load and all I got is a shovel..

Steve Demarcus, Cybergeezer, et al:
..actually, Steve, it’s an affectation, a sobriquet (obviously). I am the victim of a misspent middle age reading too much Tom Clancy. During the Viet Nam war, I worked at SAC Headquarters at Offutt AFB, Nebraska on the SIOP (war plan); our adversaries were Voyska PVO (sort of like our Air Defense Command). I do not speak Russion (but would love to be able to). And, I admire our ability to speak French.
Cybergeezer, from you I consider it high praise. I have long enjoyed your ability to skewer these clods. You, David Thompson, Marc Malone, Rachel Peepers, Delia, TexEd (who coined the wonderful “Chimpy, The Kenyan”) and others are in my pantheon of PJM heroes.
And, Anonymous, here is something appropriate for “Now and Then”:

Sadly, there is no double entendre in that soliloquy to tease his juvenile, hormone-drenched longings. Expect him to return, strut and fret his hour on the stage, but he will be heard no more. Of it may be said of those who peruse his efforts:
“What do you read, Sire?”
“Words, words, words..”
“No, Sire, what is the matter?”
“Why, there’s nothing the matter..”
All this racial accommodation and communism is just great. I live here in LA, struggle like crazy to put my kids in private schools, because the public ones look like prisons out of Ti Juana, and just today I visited a friend in another part of LA, only to find out that two brand new, amazing campuses have just been built in nearby illegal alien areas for those public school kids. And do you have any idea how high my taxes are to pay for this. To top it off, your kid can’t even get into the pre schools at these state of the art centers unless some school bureaucrat determines you’re low income or your kid is dumb. So I get to pay and get ZERO services. Can’t wait till California is really truly bankrupt.
Obama.. post racial? Didn’t Sir Teleprompter speak recently at the Anniversary of the NAACP?
He did nominate a Supreme Court judge who is involved with La Raza and longtime ties with Puerto Rican Legal Defense or PRLDEF.
What’s funny is his failed attempt during the election when impersonating a character from a popular 70′s t.v. program. Attempting to prove his ‘Urbaness’, he made the comment, ‘I’m coming Weezie’ when making a stab at an infamous Red Foxx line from Sanford & Son.
The man is such an empty suit it’s frightening.
“If Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is the best—I hate to see the worst!”
Don’t know whose the worst, but may I offer former Harvard Professor Cornel West as a candidate?
Cheers
he is doing a pretty decent job of staying out of this racial stuf
Harvard, How the mighty have fallen. Wasn’t this the same institution that fired its President because he suggested boys are better at math than girls? Other than print up degrees for the Kennedys, what have they done lately? Oh yes they did expel Ted for cheating. But that was when they had standards. A long time ago.
This is an institution that has been utterly destroyed by political correctness. It has no standards for its faculty as the PC police enforce their will on the institution. It is a political indoctrination camp for the far left. It is living on its reputation. Professor Gates in one of many phonies on the faculty.
As their endowment diminishes, due to the destruction of capitalism, it will have to rely more heavily on the government subsidies that they have been receiving. I think they are called “research grants”. That is a dirty little government industry that goes under the radar.
The Obama-Tsar and Gates are on the same page, racially and politically. This was a teachable moment for – Gates. He needs to learn to smile and make whitey feel comfortable. Have a beer and keep your hate under raps. The time for change is a coming. Oh it is here. The cop can’t afford to live in Cambridge but the professor can.

Not true–or so I have been arguing for years. Some barbarism is indigenous to a region. But even if it were true–what’s to be done now? Should we willingly welcome cannibals, gang-rapists, child-rapists, polygamists, (dis)honor murderers to our shores?
How incredibly post-racial. Why can’t Obama see how its done. To be post-racial, you just have to agree on the ever-changing, politically expedient definition offered by white right-wing nut-jobs like Douglas–of course, that will usually be whatever Obama is not doing. Obviously, its never white people who aren’t post-racial enough [except for Democrats, the party that gets 90% of the non-white vote, but is still horribly racist according to the idiots here], its the black President.
This would be a great time for a black thief to burglarize Gates’ home. My guess is that no neighbors would report the break-in and the police would be hesitant to respond.
Obama did not apologize, and gates and crowley stated that they could both agree to disagree. Which is a nice way of gates saying I still believe your a white devil oppressor of men, but lets just sweep this under the rug the O-Man needs to get back to whisking Michelle off to vacation hot-spots for people magazine. Our president is a racist its a two way street!
Excellent article. Im from UK and I think Obama is doing a reasonable job.
