Moral of the story: Don’t call the police if you suspect someone breaking into a black homeowner’s home???

Yeah, don’t hold your breath. I’m sure that gates, being a friend of “zero”, probably soars in the same lofty circles as “devil” patrick.

Another untruth being repeated. The house belongs to Harvard.You're responding to post #4, but that post said nothing about who owns the house.

She should at least you know stopped it just seems like you know anyone could basically report anything and this is what happens when youre black. This is what happens "when you're black": you get victimized by other black people on a regular basis, but you have to shut up and take it because they're brothers.

This Henry Louis Gates-Sgt. James Crowley nonsense in Cambridge is clear evidence that far too many Black Americans are brought up with a built-in grievance against 'white' society - and the Black race hustlers (Al Sharpton) feed off of it. Hence, we'll probably never have a 'color-blind' society in America as Dr. Martin Luther King once hoped. Blacks - especially the race hustlers - won't allow it because it would remove their excuse for just about anything they do that makes their life more difficult. Just 'blame Whitey' - and yell 'racism' as loud and as often as possible. The leftmedia will be happy to join in.
Now, even a Harvard professor, probably making well over six figures per year, can 'play the race card' and use it to excuse his strange, boorish behavior and simply scream 'racism' all day long to obfuscate his responsibility for an unnecessary 'incident'. He can even get the 'historic' President of the United States to take his side against a small-town cop just trying to do his job and being vilified and harassed for it by Henry Gates, an apparently well-connected, elitist academic who acted more like a ghetto hood than the middle aged professor he is. Oh, most sensible folks can see from the police report what happened here. Maybe the Sargent could have walked away from Gates and just let him rant, but I doubt it.
Professor Gates felt aggrieved and by God, someone was going to pay for this insult to his gigantic ego. Unfortunately, Sargent Crowley isn't well-connected. The President of the United States basically called him 'stupid' on national television. Sure, President Barack Obama - our 'historic' president, after realizing how poorly his 'stupid' comments played with most Americans, later called Sargent Crowley to make nice and said kind things about him in a separate news conference - but the damage has been done.
Frankly, I think more damage was done to the reputation of Harold Gates (acting like a race-obsessed loon) and the president, shooting his mouth off and looking like a Black racist in the process. This won't help his approval rating one bit. It also demonstrates that in any even slightly hostile or adversarial encounter between a White and a Black person, the Black is very likely to falsely claim 'racism' - within seconds. How sad. Well, so much for racial harmony in this lifetime.

"That logic is overwhelmingly backwards. From a Sharpton? Makes sense now! "
Chairman Zero has lowered the office of the President of the United States to the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton level of simple race-baiting.
This "Harvard educated president" has no trouble "calibrating" is words when the teleprompter is running...but the real Barry Soetoro comes out when the 'prompter is not around.
All of the previous campaign remarks are "coming home to roost"...like the "typical white person" remarks, and his Reverend Wright associations, etc.
We have a race pimp in the White House.

The seventies were superceded by 1984, too, I guess.
To: RegulatorCountry
Has anyone published details of this previous break-in, from what, two weeks earlier? Im beginning to think Gates threw a fit for a diversion. What did he say was stolen, previously? Insurance claim? Perhaps his, er, "broker" was reposessing some unpaid merchandise...

Don't know who all is researching this but I got this information in email today - no source though;
Gates is a member of Harvard's African American Studies Dept and he is the Director of the W.E.B Du Bois Institute for African American Research.
W.E.B. Du Bois was an official member of the Communist party. He became a member in 1961.
There is a story out there just getting off the ground, that there is a link between Frank Marshall Davis and Paul Robeson.
That link leads to Du Bois, and THAT link leads to Barack Hussein Obama!

No doubt about it. Words from his own mouth, in his "autobiographies" and his 20 yr. membership in wright's church show him to be a self centered narcissist who hates White people and America.
We were well aware of this before the election and I'm not surprised by this at all.

Seriously, though, I wonder what public records exist, that could indicate whether Gates filed an insurance claim? Is the police report publicly available from the Cambridge, MA police department?
And, provided a claim was filed, wouldn’t such an insurance company be very intrigued, by their policy holder accosting police after being caught breaking into his own residence, two weeks later?
To: Jim Scott
Wow. That was well written.
“built-in grievance against ‘white’ society”
“Professor Gates felt aggrieved and by God, someone was going to pay for this insult to his gigantic ego.”
“more damage was done to the reputation of Harold Gates (acting like a race-obsessed loon) and the president, shooting his mouth off”

"So what happens to the woman if she stands by and doesnt call the police when she sees two men literally breaking in to a black mans house?"
The message I get is that we white folks are supposed to just let black on black crime happen. OK, no problem.

Well, if she is being raped by a black man, I would not get involved. You would of course be profiling.... Must be how she sees it — it is certainly taking the ‘logic’ (and I use the word loosely) to the next step.

Free housing for a professor? I know it happens but what a grifiter. He is a racial grievance spewer aka a black Ward Churchill phony with probably a phony degree in welfare housing.
