More at the link.The professor, the policeman and the president are ready to share a beer -- and maybe a few thoughts about race and law enforcement in America.
The gathering set for Thursday evening may help President Barack Obama write a sudsy but happy ending to an arrest that triggered a fierce debate over race relations and briefly knocked him off his stride.An administration official said Monday that Obama is hosting the two main characters in the unlikely Boston-area drama that dominated several news cycles last week: Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge, Mass., police department. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement was not yet public.
And what will the boys be quaffing? See, "Frothy Diplomacy: What Beer Will Obama Choose for White House Meeting? The President Hopes to Ease Tensions by Drinking Beer with Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley." (Via Memeorandum.)
This is a bad idea for Sgt. Crowley to meet with a man he arrested. He should say thanks but no thanks to the invitation.
ReplyDeleteDon't do it, Sgt. Crowley. All these two race pimps want to do is use you to further their racially divisive propaganda.
