Governor Deval Patrick this afternoon empathized with Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., recalling his own experiences with racial profiling and "feeling powerless" when he was a black teenager at Milton Academy.

The interest in this is so high that the Boston Herald’s site can’t handle all the hits. I was unsuccessful in getting thru a while back, and now:

A Marxist sitting in the WH has always been my worst nightmare.
I see only racism from all these black politicians. God help the innocent police that try and do their job.
More like every Elitist’s nightmare! Don’t you know who I am? I am a HARVARD professor! You can’t arrest me! Don’t you know the law’s don’t apply to the liberal elite? Just ask Barack Obama.......
NO SIR, FALSE ALLEGATIONS ARE EVERY MAN’S WORST NIGHTMARE.
Just ask the Duke LaCross players.
Just ask the arresting sergeant in this case.
Hey idiot - NO ONE wants to be arrested.
And yes, me, white guy, also understand cops have certain power over me. That’s why they are “law enforcement”
“”feeling powerless””
What about when a group of black men rape a white woman in front of her boyfriend and then both get shot, then left for dead. Or how the victims of the Witchita massacre felt?
fools rush in ...
Don't forget the cops from the Tawana Brawley case.
What is our exit strategy for racial issues? It seems to me that we will never do enough, and so this will be an issue in 100 years or 200 years ad nauseum. I would just like to know, what exactly does it take before we can put slavery behind us?
Well the good news is that Devil Patrick (who I vehemently campaigned against even though the GOP’s choice of Healey sucked) has his relection hanging by a thread. Even here in Taxachusetts people are tired of his BS. I imagine stuff like this will only further hurt his chances next fall.
The lovely Carr brothers.....man, the MSM sure kept THAT story hush-hush.
With so many black men in prison, the prospect of being arrested doesn’t seem to be much of a deterrent.
Hey,Deval...You’ve been this STATE’S worst nightmare!
I thought “The One’s” election had brought us into “pos-racial” America. Apparently it has brought us further into the victimhood America.,p>
Makes one think that there is nothing that will resolve the issue. 600,000 dead soldiers sure didn’’t.
A “Black Studies” perfesser. Every white person’s nightmare.
