This is one of the most outrageous bits of Gates’s behavior. He denies that he said anything about Crowley’s mother at all, and that Crowley must have made it up after watching ‘Good Times’ episodes back in the day. Yet, here’s a clip of him in 1996 where he also talks about trying to end the hundreds of years of ‘yo’ moma’ insults in the black community (towards the end of the clip):

Now, do you really believe Crowley made it up?
They sure do hire some interesting “distinguished professors” at Harvard. I went to middle and high school at inner city black schools and I never heard one of those public school teachers resort to ‘yo mama’ insults. Come to think of it, I never heard it amongst the hoodlums after middle school.

Thanks for the post. I see he managed to criticize Clarence Thomas as a hypocrite. I saw an article he wrote asking Anita's Hill's opinion on OJ’s supporters. She's evidently a friend of his. I wonder if he had anything to do with her testimony against Clarence Thomas.
One thing I will agree with Gstes about, he is a product of affirmative action and wouldn't have gotten to where he is without it. Clarence Thomas who he calls a hypocrite got to where he is by his intellect and hard work, not race baiting.
I think I saw a transcript of this video someplace. Does anyone have a link to the transcript of your link?
