I don't know. The way I understood it, he and the professor are like "butt buddys" like ATRAIN and flo. And when he heard about it he was shocked that racism still exists. As if racism went away after he won the election. So, after making his remarks about Healthcare he had to make a statement about it. Having a "beer" with the cop and the professor is just an excuse for him and the professor to get together. And in the tape, the woman who called mentioned race only once..and that's when she was asked. Big whoop.
