When Obama first said,”I don’t know what role race played in this,” I knew we had a problem. His answer assumed facts not in evidence, that race had anything to do with it. The whole problem comes from the different frames or paradigms in which we view the problem. The black police officer with Sgt Crowley viewed the problem from the perspective of a police officer trying to deal with an abusive and disrespectful person. It’s these frames that cause decision makers to get into trouble.
