The Officer, The Gentleman, No Rest..

Officer Crowley vs. Professor Gates. As we are aware of the events of the last few weeks, Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested at his home for being a Black successful individual coming home from travels and misplaced his house keys. An unnecessary matter that shows that racial inequalities still in 2009 exist contrary to majority belief. Yes!, some blacks believe this not surprising considering the current mind state that is fluid in this society of chaos. President Obama made the statement that the police " acted stupidly" fact... Furthermore, the gesture to gather Mr. Gates and Mr. Crowley for beer to resolve this matter in my opinion was a great idea, this shows resolution. One small step forward for all humans! right? Dispite the ignorance of Boston's Officer Barrett sending the email blasting racial slurs toward Mr. Gates in an attempt to prompt more tension failed. We as people need to become more proactive. We need to take a stand against matters of such by starting with ourselves as a whole. Statements like "nappy headed ho's" etc... these are the expreesions that causes tension when a caucasian uses them, yet we use these terms its all good....Not... to be continued..... Next, the unrest in peace of Emmit Till as it states the groudskeepers at the Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Il allegedly hid the glass coffin that laid his body, even to point out that it may have been used for other burials go figure the 14 yr old whose life was horridly taken due to ignorance for whistling at a white woman in 1955 still has no rest... This is the Hypocrisy thats the evenflow...... Let there be an uprising of intellectuals, the walkers and the talkers.......to be continued....
