Crowley Delivers Letter From Black Partner Lashley To Gates

I was wondering why Sgt. Jim Crowley would agree to have a beer fest photo op with His Majesty after The One besmirched him.
This may be the reason why:

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.

We may be onto a whole 'nother level.
