New Delhi, Aug 2, 2009: Why cop Justin Barrett called Prof. Gates porch monkey? Justin Barret's email has created a racial storm unseen in recent days.
 

He had called Harvard Professor “banana-eating jungle monkey” in an email that he wrote recently.  

In the meantime Justin Barret has been suspended for calling Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates a “banana-eating jungle monkey”. “This type of venomous rhetoric is severely damaging,” Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis declared Thursday. 

He went on to add, “We will not allow the unacceptable actions of one member to define who we are.”

Boston Police Commissioner also said that he has apologized to Gates on behalf of the department and they are now checking whether Barrett had any run-ins with blacks while on the job.

The mayor of Boston is working to get him fired and the National Guard has suspended him. For the sake of the safety of the citizens of Boston, I hope the mayor gets his wish.

Just two days ago with mugs of beer, President Barack Obama sat down with a black Harvard professor and a white police officer who had arrested him for a "friendly, thoughtful" chat to douse the racial firestorm lit by the incident.

"I have always believed that what brings us together is stronger than what pulls us apart," said America's first black president after the highly anticipated beer summit Thursday under the canopy of a magnolia tree at the edge of the White House's Rose Garden.

"I am confident that has happened here tonight, and I am hopeful that all of us are able to draw this positive lesson from this episode" he said after meeting the other players in the story - professor Henry Louis Gates Jr, who is also a friend of Obama, and Cambridge, Massachussets, police Sgt. James Crowley.
