t was a marked change in tone for Gates, 58, who in the days following his arrest gathered up his legal team and said he was contemplating a lawsuit. He even vowed to make a documentary on his arrest to tie into a larger project about racial profiling.

Gates added that he hoped his arrest would lead to a greater understanding about racial profiling in America. "If my experience leads to the lessening of the occurrence of racial profiling, then I would find that enormously gratifying," Gates said on The Root. "Because, in the end, this is not about me at all; it is about the creation of a society in which 'equal justice before law' is a lived reality.",

From Gates' above words, it seems to me that Gates is still blaming the cop for racial profiling.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t he the one who opened this can of worms?

Your typical liberal... He makes a fuss, then when it backfires, he says, “Time to move on.”

Yes, yes, it’s time to “move on.” After “recalibrating” our words, everything’s fine now. In fact, this is a “teachable” moment — if it helps America learn more about avoiding this type of “racial profiling,” then that’s all the better. Let’s all gather ‘round now and have a beer together; that gesture should make it all OK. Nothing more to see here, folks, and if you don’t believe me, then you don’t know who you’re dealing with, cracker.

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.

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 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.

Of course it is “time to move on” because right now many white Americans seeing the emperor really does have no clothes and we can’t have that now can we?

“”in the end, this is not about me at all.”

He was the racist who made it about him.

Then he found out the police video backed up what the officer said happened! hahahahaha!

1. “ ...my principal regret was that all of the attention paid to his deeply supportive remarks during his press conference had distracted attention from his health care initiative,” Gates said.”

Mission accomplished.

2. “”a profound teaching moment in the history of race relations in America,”

Another narcissist?

3. “I sincerely hope that the Cambridge police department will choose to work with me toward that goal.””

Get a clue, dimbulb. You opened your big mouth (quite obvious in the photos) and played the race card. Cambridge PD doesn’t need any of your “help”.

‘Show me your badge! You don’t know who you’re messing with!!! YOU’RE ALL RACISTS!!!! ... oh... I’m the one that acted stupidly??? Ok, let’s just move on.’

Fussy little guy, isn’t he?

Oh sure, “It’s not about me”. This guy is going to ride this gravy train as long as he can. He’s got dollar signs in his eyes and wants to be mentioned in the same breath as Rosa Parks and MLK.
