Over 200 years ago Samuel Johnson said “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel” (it is thought he was referring to false patriotism) , I think we can safely change patriotism to racism. RACISM (false) IS THE LAST REFUGE OF A SCOUNDREL, don’t think Sam would mind.

So... The cops get a call of a man forcing entry into a home. They show up and find a man in the doorway. He won’t identify himself, instead telling the cop, “You don’t know who your’e messing with!” Turns out that the guy owns the home. And he’s black. So now the cop is a racist, right? WTF is wrong with this picture? You’re right - it needs champion race-baiter Al Sharpton! Picture now complete...
_______________________________

What happened was the police stopped Gates and he refused to identify himself. He finally showed his Harvard ID and the police where happy and started to leave. This was when Gates started yelling on and on about racism and racist cops and created a public disturbance half out in the street.

This was when Gates the big shot Harvard law professor got arrested

The cops get a call that someone is breaking into an apartment. They respond and find a man in the apartment. Duh...the first thing you’d think is that the cops caught a burglar red-handed. The cops would have been justified if they searched him and handcuffed him for their own safety. Eventually they believe his story and leave. Then the guy comes outside and starts berating the cops for “racism”. What were the cops supposed to do?The professor is a real jerk and a great advertisement for Harvard (not).

Where is the outrage, the New Black Panthers, the pot banging protesters,the candle light vigils, the Gang of 88, the endless sanctimonious editorials, fat Al Sharpton, fatter Selena Roberts, Jessie ‘The Jerk’ Jackson, the satellite trucks all over campus, etc, etc, etc. What a digrace!

You're right. If a white cop had tried to sell a black child for white men to rape we'd NEVER hear the end of it. Now, we only hear crickets.

I may be wrong but I believe that under Sharia law which the ‘Professor’ advocates, he should be either de-balled with a scimitar or ground up in a wood chipper! Seems fair!

To the (majority) of the blacks racism is a get out of jail pass card. A crutch to use as an aegis when one does something wrong and gets caught.

There are some blacks, who will not get caught up in this nickle pimp street hustle. I know some, who are good patriotic Americans, but alas the majority are in the latter category.

The alleged Prof. may use the title, but he is still a street thug in the real world, based on his actions.

Molon Labe,

‘You don’t know who your (sic) messing with!”

Ah, the classic "Do you know who I am!" of the privileged few!

“You’re right. If a white cop had tried to sell a black child for white men to rape we’d NEVER hear the end of it. Now, we only hear crickets.”

I assume you know that the adopted father who tried to sell the 5 year old black child on the internet is white. The fact that he is gay has resulted in crickets from just about everyone. Unbelievable!

Yep - I know. We have crickets because gays trump blacks as a victim group...

There was a time when gays were members of a victim group - stonewall riots and all, but that was over 40 years ago.

Now gays are as likely to be as powerful or more than straights - and often the “bully on the block”, but still demanding the pity of victim-hood from decades ago. The press is living in the past - they don't seem to be able to move into a future where the players and victims have changed uniforms. (eff the New York Times and Washington Post for not looking into same sex adoptions like "perv dad"...)

Guess someone forgoet to inform the Rev. Al that Harvard lost a large chunk of its foundation money in the crash of ‘08.

No settlement money for you, race pimp.

He just may file a complaint with the City of Cambridge and probably win.

They have a human rights group in Cambridge that sees everything as racist. If you’re a minority all you have to do is show up and claim you’ve been discriminated against. They have minority law students from Harvard who hear the cases. You know the drill, Wise Latina and all.

And that’s why it’s called “The People’s Republic Of Cambridge.”
