As we all watched the fiasco regarding the Harvard professor who was arrested last week, the President said let's allow this to be a "teachable moment." While thinking about this "teachable moment," three "R's" came to mind:
A Teachable Moment
Racist. Never assume just because a white officer arrests a black man, he is a racist or is guilty of racial profiling.
Rational. Never assume just because someone is a Harvard professor he is wise enough to be rational when an officer of the law is responding to a house that has been broken into before.
Rash. It never pays to make comments on national media accusing those in authority of "acting stupidly," or "racial profiling" just because you are the President of the United States of America.
Just my two cents worth, Bro. Ben

Yes indeedy! This is why we no longer watch anything but the weather. There is nothing but bad news - why would we want to have our joy in the Good News stolen and our hopes tainted?

Ben this was a great reflection.
This man does and says scary things. Why start a race war. He's trying to bring America to her knees.
And now a beer party , that proves his character. What is he thinking? I wonder if our tax dollars will help get them to the white house for this beer party, and our tax dollars will pay for the beer etc. Our country is having financial hardship, why would he do something so foolish. He's not for our country.
