Beer at the White House
Henry Louis Gates Jr, a professor at Harvard University was locked out of his home and attempted to force the door, accompanied by the cab drive. It so happens that Gates is black and the driver was from Morocco. Seeing what was happening a neighbour telephoned the police.Sgt James Crowley arrived at the scene and a heated exchange took place to the point where Gates was arrested.
When asked about the incident President Obama said that the police “acted stupidly”. This in turn gave rise to a heated debate amongst the public on racial profiling.
How to resolve the conflict? Obama has invited the two men to have a beer at the White House! The professor drinks Blue Moon beer, the policeman, Red Stripe. Obama is having a Bud.
