OPINION: Is Beer The Universal Cure For Racism?

From TheRetort.com:

Does anyone else realize just how absurd this Gates/Obama/Crowley nonsense has become? The clock is ticking on Obama’s deadline for a workable healthcare plan before Congress leaves on its August recess. Yet here we are, as a nation, focused on what’s essentially a pissing match between two grown assed men, both of whom might have exercised a bit more self control, and a bit less bravado. The non-story is still leading off news broadcasts, and seems likely to culminate in a planned visit of all involved parties to the White House to shoot the breeze, drank some brews, issue some canned “let’s all just get along” statements, and of course, pose for the obligatory Rose Garden photo op. I can already see the three cheesy, forced smiles right now.

So trivial is the coverage of this story that semi-reputable news outlets are busy pontificating about what kinda beer the three men should drink, and what the symbolic message conveyed in that brand of beer might be…

    This is beyond absurd!! With all of the other problems in the nation, the attention should not be focused on this case.

    ima be kinda rude with this one.. but F**K GATES and F**K CROWLEY. the president aint did nothing for no one else that has been arrested for a crime they did not commit or drop charges for a man that was sentenced for a crime that police withheld evidence that would benefit the could be innocent defendant. so why gates? Obama should have stayed out of it and let gates and the officer figure the s**t out.

    Its funny how Obama came in defense of Gates.Yet, he didnt say anything when Oscar Grant was shot in the back of the head point blank by the police in Oakland. A brother was dragged in Texas by two white men, but you never heard Obama say anything about it. I can go on, but ya’ll got the point. Obama only cares if you are part of the TALENTED 10th i.e. BOULES, THE DIVINE NINE, etc.
