Obama

The whole united states is in an uprage about the comments that obama made about the Boston cop who arrested the African American Harvard professor. The other day a harvard professor was trying to get into his house but lost his keys. So a neghbor decided to call the cops and when they arrived the harvard professor was giving them an attitude about them asking for his ID. So the cops decided to arrest him for disordely conduct. The next day obama went on live television and decided to call the cops of cambridge stupid and what they did was wrong. The funny thing was that Obama didnt know the whole details about the situation and now every one is outraged about what he said.

  1. It's been quite a conversation we've been having as a class about race and representation, no? As a student of media, I'd love to hear a little more re: your take on what's been happening. Where do you "map" this incident within these larger questions of identity and media representation that we're grappling with in COMM 229?
