Victimhood

Obama's knee-jerk reaction to the arrest of a black Harvard professor has caused a firestorm of reaction. His comment about how the police had acted "stupidly" is not going to go away.

In my view, his comment about an event in which he had no knowledge of other than that a white policeman had arrested a black professor was quite revealing about his mindset on such things.

He automatically assumed the white cop was in the wrong, that the black professor had been unjustly detained, that racial profiling was occurring, etc.

This ingrained attitude of victimhood held by blacks in America is wearing thin. Blacks in America today have not been denied opportunity to prosper and succeed because of their race. Both Obama and this professor are outstanding examples of that, but so many blacks, as soon as they get in any sort of hot water, even this "honored" professor, drags out the race card as a smoke screen.

There were two other cops at the scene. Did you know that? A black and a Mexican. There were seven witnesses on the sidewalk in front of the professors house.

Now we are told they have an audio tape of the incident.

The police were responding to a "burglary in progress" report. The professors home had been broken into before, the police knew this. The fact is, the professor actually did break into his own home. He had lost his keys. He was the suspected burglar the neighbors reported seeing breaking into the house.

Let's just see who is the liar in this incident. Did the police act stupidly? Or is this a case where a black has allowed his rancor and resentment of all things white to surface?

Obama's telling remark exposes his anti-white bias. By any measure, this is not good... But then again, maybe it is. We need to know this man's motivations and intentions. He keeps appointing more and more minorities to positions of great responsibility in Washington.

Is it because they are the best qualified , or is it because they are not white?
