Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. said he donated the handcuffs used on him during his arrest last year outside his home to the Smithsonian Institution's black history museum.
Gates said in Sunday's edition of The New York Times Magazine that he donated the handcuffs to the new National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Probably following orders. Some PR hack likely came up with that idea.
I did not know there was an A-hole section.
IMO Crowley knew this would be exploited. Maybe he was trying to put his own punctuation on the story, but he got one-upped by Gates.
” Perhaps his symbolic gesture was not meant to be exploited.”
What else could we expect from the black racist Gates?
Now, ain’t that just so cute!!! Gates and Obama belong beside each other sitting in a pew listening to their idol Rev. Jeremiah Wright spewing his Black racist hate of America. Two birds of a feather flock together. Best wake up America, these dudes are not leading America to a better life or a better place. God help us!!!
Crowley gave the cuffs to gates as a gesture and gates is still calling Crowley a racist Honkey MF.
Liberals like Crowley never learn.
He’s more than that. He’s a foul-mouthed, arrogant racist little prick who should have done jail time.
Sgt. Crowley probably gave the cuffs to Gates as a sign of good will, likely at the request of Gates to let bygones be bygones (why else meet a a local cafe?).
So, Gates then turns around and uses Crowley's gesture against him by donating them as some kind of iconic relic of racial injustice between cops and blacks?
I'm guessing that Crowley now wishes he had never given the handcuffs to Gates.

Sounds like he has a bad case of South Park Gingervitas.
Gates is a tool. Actually we have him to thank for the steady decline of the “messiah”. Right after that “incident” ODUMBO’S big mouth cooked his own goose for good.
“how low can you go in playing the victim card?”
When you get rich doing it?
Homey don't play that.
Sounds as phony as everything else connected with Obama.
He should be ashamed, not proud of his little hissy fit.
Will be avoiding the National Museum of Hating Whitey. I went to the Native American one and it was the worst experience I had at supposedly a major museum. Just stick with the "classics" museums.
I agree!
Thank you Doctor.
what bullshit
most black academia and their cracker enablers should be deported to the Congo
