Default Can a Cold Beer Stop Racism in America?
A lot business (and funny business) gets settled over cold beer. Now it's time to put racism in America to the "cold beer" test. Will this finally bring peace and closure to this ongoing issue??

Quote:
Obama is going to a have a beer — that all-American bonding gesture — with the two men he joined last week at the center of an uproar over race in America: Henry Louis Gates Jr., a Harvard professor who is black, and James Crowley, a Cambridge, Mass. police sergeant who is white.

Offering cold beer and careful words, President Barack Obama is trying to bury a political distraction and show the nation how conversation can help ease racial conflict.

I'm sure it won't bring peace, but it will help take the attention away from Obama putting foot in mouth, which surely is his intention. I wish the officer would be a no-show at the last minute...


btw, nice looking girl in your sig

We've moved beyond that debacle. All is good....very good.

We worked it out over a cold beer
