The Obama Beer Summit between Professor Henry Louis Gates and Sargent James Crowley, the Cambridge cop who arrested him, took place today in Washington.

People were curious about what the conversation must have been like at the Obama Beer Summit ("Hey, remember that time I arrested you?" "Yeah, and I was all like, 'Do you know who I am?'" "And I was all like, "That's it. I'm taking you downtown").

What people were really interested in is what everyone was drinking.

Here is a list of the beers everyone drank at the Obama Beer Summit.

President Obama: Bud Light.

Vice-President Joe Biden: Buckler Beer

Henry Louis Gates Jr.: Sam Adams Light.

Sgt. James Crowley: Blue Moon.

No word yet as to whether the summit involved a game of beer pong.

Where is this leading to?

In the Video I saw Black American as well as White American Officers arresting Gates.

Maybe in the future only Black American officer should arrest Black American, to avoid this sort of charade and racist accusations. Like on the Native reserves where only Native Officers work to enforce the law.

Sad that this may even be a possibility.

Since I think that Native Reserves are a disgrace in them self, after all both Black and White American are the invaders and should give the land back to the Natives.

Who does pay for all this btw? Just curious.

It's actually a sad state of affairs that the media concentrates on the beer they drank. I hope, if anything, it opened up the conversation on race relations and we as a society (globally) move beyond that.
