So, as good little freepers, let us all help to take the “race” out of this issue. Remember, the police of today may be the guys grabbing our guns tomorrows or the guys enforcing hate speech laws.

pasy.

Gates problem came with leaving his house to continue to hassle the cop(s).

This isn't the big issue here. The issues here is the biased comments from the President of the Untied States, when he admitted himself, he did not have all the facts, and then went on to comment about how Latinos and Blacks are victims or police racism, and are pulled over for no reason.

How is it possible, that the President admitted he knew Gates, admitted he was biased, admitted he did not know the facts, yet then made one sided comments? Comments that were only meant to fan the embers of racial tensions.

So, as good little freepers, let us all help to take the “race” out of this issue.

Try reading the post. I was not talking about Freepers, but the *bigger* issue of the Presidents comments to millions of people.

Any comment from you about that?

And since you seem stuck on race, Mr. Gates is a guy that has spent his adult life marinating in race relations, and the plight of black people. He's made a career out of this.

Based on this, who do you think would be the first to start a racial exchange?
