The Cop, The Academician and The President

Move to 2:00

Watch this video before proceeding  to read the post

Pay attention to the first two mins when the comedian tells a joke about his house being robbed.

now let me explain what happened in the recent

The video of the professor explaining what happened after the incident

The contretemps two weeks ago occurred when Gates – arguably the foremost US scholar on African-American affairs – was arrested after police received a call that two men might be attempting a break in at a house in Cambridge, Massachusetts, home to Harvard.

As it turned out, Gates was merely attempting to enter his own home when the door jammed.

Gates and Crowley exchanged heated words, and the professor was ultimately arrested for disorderly conduct. Here

So as it happens Gates happen to be  a renounced African American Scholar who teaches at the very famous Harvard  university in Cambridge, MA.So it once happened that he lost the keys to his house, So he  along with  a friend of his broke open his house and tried to entering it.

On seeing a site like this his neighbor called the cops as normally jobless citizens do.The cop who attended the crime scene  was Mr.Crowley. He knocked on the door and asked if Mr.Gates could prove his identity and the ownership of the house.Mr. Gates happily did that and told him the reason of  breaking himself into his own house.

Now here comes the prejudice of the police officer.he arrests gates and throws him in the lock up,In spite of knowing the fact that he was not a thief but a very prominent scholar at the Harvard University.

This creates a outrage among the African – Americans and Obama steps in to call the officer “stupid”

Mr Gates happens to be a friend of Obama. He later contrated from his statement, but we all know that he was angry.

And hence to cool things off, Obama called for  a “Beer summit” between the Cop, the Academician and the President

Now that’s a scene that you will see every day. Do you .

I am black and i was wrongfully arrested by a cop….call me to your beer party please.

Racism in Australia ??? Nah

Racist Australia Let us first begin by defining racism

Remember Gandhi being thrown out of a train from a first class compartment inspite of having a first class ticket…That is racism

What not is  racism?

Being mugged for walking in a bad neighborhood.

I mean yes people are getting mugged in Australia but they are everyone not just Indian’s I mean everyone is getting mugged there. Victoria is a bad neighborhood, it is not that they are specifically targeting Indian or they are going like “O he is an Indian lets mug him’

what do you expect when you are walking in Bihar at the middle of the night?

I am sure that you are not expecting some one come and give you a bunch of flowers .

Exactly this is what is happening in Victoria.

Indian students come back from jobs late at night and well they are walking back and there is some drunk chap who is drunk and is looking for free cigg or money and well mugs you.

I am not supporting the guy who is mugging but this is not racism If you want examples of racism then it would be you not getting a job on the basis of your color. This does not happen in Australia.

Indians are present is all the posts in Australia, from petrol pump attendant to a highly paid executive in good MNC. And more over Indians are regarded as highly educated and good English speakers. (Huh!)The only racial abuse I heard in the past 6 month was once at YMCA of Perth and that was “Thank you come, again” (Appu from Simpsons) .I guess the guy was trying to make a conversation with me ..he was smiling  … but I didn’t really get it at the first instance (not so smart huh)

Times are tough in Australia, the mining industry, the main stay, is shutting down in Australia people have lost jobs and they are coming back to towns to get some jobs, they cannot find jobs and well there is tension, tension is everywhere, even in India, but let’s not give colorist names to them.

Bad economy shows an increase in crime .Simple plain economics

Well I am happy that the government of India cares about me…well it never cared about me when I was in India…now that I am out of India.

But really the bottom line is that Victoria is a bad suburb and it is more of a crime rate issue rather than a racial abuse. And also personally I think that the Australia govt was slow on acting to this.

I mean you hit a foreigner in India and the GOI  (Govt of India w)will hit you back like a jumbo jet. (Graham stain killings, scarlet O hare murder, the last I read about a foreigner loosing his dog in Delhi during dial and the Delhi police did everything in their might to get it back, anyone read this?)

But yes the Australia govt seems to have taken the street violence lightly and is now paying for it.

India is about to issue a travel advisory on Australia.

BCCI to not play cricket with Australia.

I mean yes…India is pissed at Australia for not selling uranium to them under Chinese pressure…and if this is the way GOI is going to go about it then so be it.

Singh is king!!

Let me know your views I live in Perth not Victoria, so this is a third mans opinion
