This is so drenched in common sense, one wonders from where Obama gets his advice.

[ncfool]

Crowley should ask the Messiah for his birth certificate now that he has standing as Obama slimed him publically.

[Republic]

That was the single best video presentation by a black woman regarding gates and uhbama that I have ever witnessed..

PLEASE EVERYONE WATCH THIS VIDEO.

TALK ABOUT COMMON SENSE!!!!!!!!!! LOVED IT!

[Mr. K]

wow! put this woman on TV

GOD BLESS YOU GIRL

She is a little off base about the raciual component of this- but I will give her the benefit of the doubt - I am sure racial issues have been a bigger part of her life than mine.

[Safrguns]

We need more like her.

She gets it.

[GrannyAnn]

Wow! Worth watching. The only thing I disagree with is that the neighbor profiled. Otherwise, the young lady is spot on. Very entertaining too.

[nutmeg]

Great video! This woman gets it...

[BossLady]

Team Desire!!!!

She is a star and has a great speaking voice.....she could do radio or TV!!!

[Paradox]

Surprisingly even handed, yet very critical look at this case. While not denying that racial profiling may have occurred (by the neighbor making the call), she pretty much calls out the race pimps for what they are...

I liked the production values of this rant as well, its got a certain style and charm. I give it two thumbs up.

From where does Obama get his advice?

First thought I had after hearing BO’s remarks was: Yep, this is a man who sat in Rev Wright’s congregation for 20 years.

It was Jackson/Sharpton/Wright kneejerking x 100.

Who is this woman?

[Bernard Marx]

The only thing I disagree with is that the neighbor profiled.

That's where I stopped watching. I'd call the police if I saw people of any color attempting to break into one of my neighbors' homes. The racist assumption that she reported the incident only because those involved were black disgusts me. Still that "fact" is quickly becoming a destructive myth about this case.

[bitterohiogunclinger]

Very powerful and mostly right on the money. I’m not aware of the other incidents she referred to though?

[Vendome]

I don’t who she is but that was right on.

[isthisnickcool]

As others here have pointed out she assumes that the white neighbor racial profiled Gates. There is no evidence of that in anything I have seen. Other than that she makes some good points.

[rcrngroup]

Outstanding!!! I just forwarded the video url link to 5 other friends & co-workers.

[new cruelty]

Great work.

[new cruelty]

Great work.

Makes alot of sense, although I would disagree that the neighbors were racially profilling. The neighbors mereing gave the best description as they could of the suspects.

The neighbors did not call the police because there were two black men loitering in the neighborhood. They called because they saw two people forcing a door in that they didn’t recognize.
