CHILMARK - Black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. has received numerous death threats since he accused a white officer of racially profiling him in a controversial arrest last month, prompting Harvard University officials to suggest he consider moving, the professor told a crowd yesterday.
“You should die; you’re a racist,” read one e-mail that Gates recalled in his first public appearance since sharing a beer at the White House with President Obama and Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley, who arrested him July 16. The threats forced Gates to change his e-mail address and cell phone number.
Crowley was investigating a possible burglary at Gates’ home, which Harvard Univesity owns. While Crowley claims Gates became enraged and continued to yell despite warnings, Gates has alleged racial profiling and said he never raised his voice. A charge of disorderly conduct against Gates was dropped.....
This Gates fellow makes his money on race. Thats why he perpetuates it. If the race issue dies, he makes no money.
Another Obama diplomacy failure. Well maybe in his next trip overseas he can apologize for Cambridge.
This sounds like something an incompetent leftist would write when trying to sound like a right wing racist. It does not ring true at all. I smell a lie here.
What’s Prof. Gates so afraid of? That the cops won’t be bothered to show up in case God-forbid an intruder tries to break into his house and kill him?
Hmmm ... I’d like to see the email Crowley and the 911 caller received.
Bingo.
Gates is a moron.
So is anyone that makes death threats to him..
Death threats are asinine.
They are.
All carved on his chest in a mirror image, no doubt.
Could it be that he is moving because he hasn’t been reporting his free rent as taxable income? Just askin’.
It's like if I do something stupid,I can always say,”But I'm a cancer survivor!” and get lots of forgiving hugs and kisses.
(I leave out the fact that my cancer was non-terminal basil cell carcinoma (the milder skin cancer) and a little plastic surgery whiped it out)
Good !!!
.... I hope he stays on the run the rest of his sad little hate filled racist so called life...........beer summit made him a celebrity drunk on the run thanks to Obama using him as the tool Gates is ........:o)
What a bunch of posers these punks are.
i dont believe the death threats.
the gates team are liars.
Notice that Crowley hasn’t pulled this trick, and I bet he got death threats.
Yeah right Skippy.
I’d move too, after all his address is on the police do not respond list now.
