Because he’s a white cop in America.
Now for a view into the racism inherent in the system let’s take a quick look at how Crowley’s colleagues are being treated by other blacks and minorities for their support of Crowley.
It is telling that you are attacked for being an Uncle Tom when you put circumstance, logic, facts, or anything else in front of your race when things get dicey, your co-workers attacked, and your president foolishly decides to chime in.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A black sergeant who was at the home of Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. when he was arrested says he’s been maligned as an “Uncle Tom” for supporting the actions of the white arresting officer.Cambridge Sgt. Leon Lashley gave a letter to Sgt. James Crowley to give to President Barack Obama during their so-called beer summit with Gates on Thursday night at the White House.
In the letter, which was also sent to CNN, Lashley says Gates “may have caused grave and potentially irreparable harm to the struggle for racial harmony.”
Lashley says he has become known as a traitor to his heritage by some because he “spoke the truth” about the arrest.
So much for being judged by the content of your character, huh?
