Obama’s erred this time by speaking his heart out spontaneously instead of speaking a well, politically-correct, pre-written speech. He just failed to translate his thoughts into politically correct language and is now paying the price for the same (at least, he has to bear the cost of brew party he held for the two!!). The biggest irony and hypocrisy get highlighted when one analyses the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll. The poll shows that 27% of Americans think that Professor Gates is more at fault for getting arrested than Crowley and 29% of respondents blame both Gates and Crowley. Thus, around half of US believe Gates was at fault and that too for the charges that were dropped the very next week! Welcome to US, the only country where people make fuss out of charges that do not last even for a week!! Even in the recent case, Prof. Gates was arrested for burglary or disorderly conduct but Cambridge state law clearly permits its people to the extent of shouting at police force for a valid reason.
Wrong judgements and hasty decisions by police force is not a new phenomenon, as the case may seem this time. Here goes few examples Amadou Diallo, an African immigrant, was shot dead (with around 41 bullets) by police officers who mistook his taking out of wallet for a gun. Similarly, Sean Bell was shot to death by NYPD by firing 50 shots. Same can be iterated about Omar Edwards and many more non-Whites of the US.
The customary approach of Whites on Blacks clearly makes the case against James Crowley. This prevailing attitude is what clearly makes the case for Dr. Louis Henry Gates too. President Obama is unquestionably right with his comment that Crowley allowed his ego and super-ego to get in the way. And this is not for the first time that Obama has expressed his concern on his remarks to be taken otherwise. Take for instance, the 100th anniversary of the NAACP’s founding. In his concluding words, “…I’ve noticed that when I talk about personal responsibility in the African American community, that gets highlighted…But then the whole other half of the speech, where I talked about government’s responsibility ... that somehow doesn’t make news.” After all, in a country like the US where people lose their trust on their Prez in just a year’s time, it is perhaps safer to speak prepared speeches. Better safe than suffer, isn’t it Prez?
