On Thursday Mr. Obama said that:
"I have to say I am surprised by the controversy surrounding my statement," Obama said in an interview with ABC News, "because I think it was a pretty straightforward comment that you probably don't need to handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who's in his own home."
Still operating without any facts, Obama is surprised that people would be offended that he rendered a judgment without facts and essentially played the “Race Card”. Doesn’t he know that when you accuse someone of racism, that accusation is racism? To say that a white guy did something only because he was white is Racism. To say that the black guy was arrested by a white man only because the former is white is RACISM. What part of that is hard for you to understand Mr. Obama?
For years many, many non-black people have had the race card played upon them. My wife worked for many years with the public and would often come home saying that someone said, “If I wasn’t black you would do this or that for me.” Of course this hurt her deeply. Her decision was not made upon race it was made upon facts. We struggled with a way to handle people who like to use race as the “reason” when they don’t get what they want. It is a difficult statement to counter without being rude or intolerant. If you respond at all, you risk their entire wrath.
Without the facts Obama judged. To that I say, if that officer wasn’t white you wouldn’t have called him a racist Mr. Obama.
Get it now Mr. Obama? Do you understand why so many are offended by your statement? Do you even care?
