Race got into the problem because the reason the president spoke was that people were saying the cop arrested the guy because of racism.
The president later apologized when more came out that showed the guy totally wasn't a racist... and had in fact been chosen to run classes in how to avoid racial profiling. (The person who chose him for that position was in fact black. If it matters.)
Obama jumped to the same conclusion as everyone else. Though not because he was a racist.
It was because the proffessor was his friend... and it's easier to see racism then it is the fault of ones friend.
