For people like you, it was too late for President Obama to call for unity in December of 2007.
The only thing divisive about President Obama is that he is black- and you are not.
This is when he started blaming cops and he hasn't stopped since.
"One of the first examples that's frequently cited came in the first year of Obama's first term. In July 2009, historian
Henry Louis Gates, who is black, was arrested while trying to force his way into his own home in Cambridge, Mass. (The door was jammed.) As the incident gained national attention, Obama weighed in, saying that the arresting officer
had "acted stupidly" for handcuffing and booking Gates."
The cop was white and stupid and the professor was black and not stupid according the the racist prick Obama.
Hmmmm who commented about the cop being white?
Oh that would be the racist prick- you.
"In July 2009, historian
Henry Louis Gates, who is black,............"
The arresting cop was white, but his partner, a black cop, agreed 100% that the arrest was completely justified and so publicly stated.
The only racist in the picture was Obama, who rushed to judgement without knowing the facts based on the race of the cop.
And you call him a 'racist prick' for these damning words
“I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that,” Obama said after Gates’s arrest. “But I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home, and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there’s a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.”
Good thing he didn't go Full Racist and call Mexicans rapists.
Here is what went down according to wikipedia.
Gates found the front door to his home jammed shut and, with the help of his driver, tried to force it open. A local witness reported their activity to the police as a potential
burglary in progress. Accounts regarding the ensuing confrontation differ, but Gates was arrested by the responding officer,
Cambridge Police Sgt. James Crowley, and charged with
disorderly conduct.
According to the police report, Crowley arrived at the scene, went up to the front door, and asked Gates to step outside. Crowley explained he was investigating the report of a break-in in progress; as he did so, Gates opened the front door and said, "Why, because I'm a black man in America
Crowley's report states that he believed Gates was lawfully in the residence, but that he was surprised and confused by Gates' behavior, which included a threat that Crowley did not know who he was "messing with." Crowley then asked Gates for a photo ID so as to verify he was the resident of the house; Gates initially refused, but then did supply his Harvard University identification card. Crowley wrote that Gates repeatedly shouted requests for his identification. Crowley then told Gates that he was leaving his residence and that if Gates wanted to continue discussing the matter, he would speak to him outside.
Gates replied, "Yeah, I'll speak with your mama outside." On the 9-1-1 dispatcher audio recordings, a man's loud voice is heard in the background at several points during Sgt. Crowley's transmissions.
Gates stepped onto his front porch and continued to yell at him, accusing him of racial bias and saying he had not heard the last of him. Faced with this tumultuous behavior from Gates, even though he was still standing on his own front porch, Crowley warned Gates that he was becoming disorderly. When Gates ignored this warning and persisted in his behavior, and likewise ignored a second warning from Crowley, Crowley informed him that he was under arrest.

Sgt. James Crowley's supporters noted he was chosen by a black police commissioner to serve as an instructor for a Lowell Police Academy course entitled "Racial Profiling", which Crowley has taught since 2004. While working as a campus police officer at
Brandeis University in 1993, Crowley had tried to revive African American
Boston Celtics star
Reggie Lewis with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after the latter suffered a fatal heart attack.
Crowley received public support from many police officers, including African Americans, who portrayed him as a good and fair officer.
Sgt. Leon Lashley, a black officer who was present at Gates's arrest, said he supported Sgt. Crowley's actions "100 percent." Lashley added that he thought it would have gone differently, with no arrest, if he had been the first officer to arrive on the scene and the initial encounter with Gates had been "black man to black man." Another officer in the Cambridge police department said "racism is not part of it, and that is what is frustrating."
In the aftermath, Obama stated that he regretted his comments and hoped that the situation could become a "
teachable moment."
The bottom line is, if a black or a white man gives a police officer a double ration of shit and rags on his mama, they will be and should be arrested.
