Gates says it's time to 'move on' from his arrest (gathered legal team, contemplating lawsuit)
A P ^ | RUSSELL CONTRERAS

Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. says he is ready to move on from his arrest by a white police officer, hoping to use the encounter to improve fairness in the criminal justice system and saying "in the end, this is not about me at all."

When you undermine cops’ authority you endanger them. They become less likely to come to the aid of those that despise them and want to attack them. Therefore, more people will die or get hurt as a result, and that goes double for black kids.

I bet he didn’t realize that morning that by nightfall he would be outed, all because of a simple stuck door...

Too funny... I really think that is exactly what we just witnessed, having only now seen his picture after listening to his radio interviews...

If you can’t see through the holes in this entire debacle - you will never see how flat sick these people are...

As it happens, "My luv's like a red, red rose" was written by Robbie Burns, a couple of centuries after Shakespeare. Oh, well. 16th century English playwright, 18th century Scottish poet: What's the diff?


An Englishman is being shown around a Scottish hospital. At the end of the tour he is shown into a ward with a number of patients who show no signs of injury.

He goes to examine the first man he sees, and the man proclaims
"Fair fa' yer honest sonsie face
Great chieftain o' the puddin' race!"

The Englishman, somewhat taken aback, goes to the next patient, who immediately launches into:
"Some hae meat, and canna eat, and some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat, and sae the Lord be thankit."

The next patient sits up and declaims:
"Wee sleekit cow'rin tim'rous beastie,
O what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty, wi' bickering bl'attle.
I wad be laith to run and chase thee, wi' murdering prattle."

"Well" says the Englishman to his Scottish colleague "I see you saved the psychiatric ward for the last".

"No, no" the Scottish doctor corrects him "This is the Serious Burns Unit!"

Crowley needs to have an objective witness present at all times during the meeting with Gates and Obama

Take his mama with him.

How difficult it would be to start owning up now.

Oh, you can't do that. The black race wouldn't survive such a scandal. Everyone must do their part to hush this up and transfer blame, because, you know, that's the only way respect will prosper....

All alumni thinking about giving money or endowing funds to the school, be aware, most of your money may go to these lawsuits where Harvard throws open it’s treasury and says ‘’take as much as you want’’ to certain folks.

He even vowed to make a documentary on his arrest to tie into a larger project about racial profiling.

Enter Michael Moore...

He doesn’t want the 911 and radio chatter tapes to come out. “Oh, you taped the whole thing? Gee, ah,well, er, let’s just move on. Yeah, that’s it, let’s just move on.”

Ostammer and his handlers don’t want them to come out either because they show that, once again, ostammer backed a raving black racist.

>>>> And how come “Doctor” Gates doesn’t seem to have ever finished a dissertation anywhere? <<<<

Interesting point.

I haven’t done much digging but was surprised at this phrasing about his PhD in Wikipedia. which mentions that “he worked toward his Ph.D.” but not that he received one:

University of Cambridge, where he studied English literature at Clare College. With the assistance of a Ford Foundation Fellowship, he worked toward his Ph.D. in English. While his work in history at Yale had trained him in archival work, Gates’ studies at Clare introduced him to English literature and literary theory.
