To his eventual embarrassment,

Racist… Mr. Gates seems to be the one who is the racist. This man is supposed to be highly educated, so with such presumed high intelligence I assert that he knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted to try to provoke a response. When he denied to produce an identification card and then to throw the RACE CARD out, he knew eventually that he would get the response he well deserved. Wake up America! “This is what happens to black men in America.” No Mr. Gates, this is what happens to all individuals in America. Mr. Gates was asked to step outside and his response was, “Ya, I’ll speak with your mama outside.” If you, me or any other citizen responded to a police officer in such a manner all would, and should get the same treatment. Sorry Gates, just because you profess to teach at Harvard does not mean you are above the law. The charges should not have been dropped; if it were you, they would not have been.

This individual has been a racist from day one, otherwise why would he write in his Yale University application “As always, whitey now sits in judgment of me, preparing to cast my fate. It is your decision either to let me blow with the wind as a nonentity or to encourage the development of self. Allow me to prove myself.” If a “White American, Indian American” etc. wrote this in their college application they would not have even been considered acceptance to said college.

Gates should be appreciative that the police even showed up to investigate a break in.

We are enduring sad times when any Professor of an Ivy League school can get off the hook by turning the situation of his embarrassing mistake around to make it a racial situation.

Once again, wake up!

As for President Obama, well, he just embarrassed and discredited the Presidential position. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves.

I have nothing against Harvard professors, but I wouldn’t want my sister to marry one.

How can a cop be profiling if he has been called to a scene? The simple answer is- no racial profiling took place.
How can Obama know that the police acted stupidly if he admits he doe’snt know all the facts? The answer is simple- Obama is employing a racist practice called- sterotyping.
Professor Gates was not arrested in his home. He was arrested outside- where not only other police officers saw his unjustified tirade but Gate’s own neighbors witnessed it too! Several have stated that they were alarmed and frightened by his unprovoked, disorderly behavior.
Police departments around the country have made great strides in correcting racist behavior in their policies. When will the Black & liberal community start to make progress in putting aside their own racist or hateful behavior ?? I Hope Sgt. Crowley does’nt sell out his principles for a beer! He has plenty of good cause to bring a lawsuit against Gates and his slanderous behavior. Obama, at the very least, owes police across the country a real appology. The arresting Officer should also receive a personal appology for the racial sterotypical comments the President made about him. The false accusation and inflammatory behavior of Gates Jr. should be prosecuted in a court of law- the charge of “disorderly conduct” should not have been dropped.

Obama as President should be careful talking about disproportionality of arrests of minorities–specifically african-americans. Why? Because a disproportional amount of african-americans ACTUALLY commit crime(black on white/ black on black)!! Therefore isn’t it logical that a disproportional number of african americans are arrested! Da! The President of the Untited States has experienced as much a sting from (racial profiling) as I have as a white american. I have had black police look at me with a synical eye in the city. Have I felt slighted–NO because I’m not looking for an excuse. Obama, you were elected because of the white vote–grow up and stop showing your TRUE COLORS. You can’t be President of these great states and subscribe to the thinking that the WHITE MAN is out to get you!!

1. Dr. Gates did not have identification to prove he was at home!
2. Would we have critized the cop if he had taken Dr. Gate’s word but
in reality a second person had been holding his wife in another room
with a gun or knife?
3. We are so quick to critize before we have all the information, this
does not help to correct the problem, So we become the problem.
