Old Dave Chappelle Clip Speaks Truth to Henry Louis Gates Incident


I was sitting around talking about the madness of the Henry Louis Gates incident. She immediately brought up this Dave Chappelle stand-up. It's right on point! While this is an older clip from Dave Chappelle (comic genius) it's so relevant right now as it pertains to this Henry Louis Gates incident. Really, really relevant!

As if the madness of the arrest wasn't enough, now the president of the city's police union is demanding that President Obama apologize to members of the Cambridge Police Department. GTFOH! That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. The President called them out and now he's wrong? Nah, a lot of folks in America feel the same way. Cambridge Police, you were WRONG!

Cops make cops look bad. It's a damn shame!

Anyway, this video clip is sooooooo relevant! Enjoy!

Pres Obama on Henry Louis Gates Arrest ...


The entire situation with Henry Louis Gates and the Cambridge Police is absolutely ridiculous! You break into your own home and then get arrested for disorderly conduct? Really?! How many folks have forgotten their keys or misplaced them and then had to break into the house? Yeah, I would imagine a lot of us. The President definitely drops knowledge on race relations in America. Even as the first black President, he knows that race issues are far from over.
