Henry Louis Gates Jr. said Sgt. Crowley looked "so relieved" when he shook his hand, and the two were able to find humor in the media frenzy unleashed by his arrest.
Gates said he and Crowley discussed meeting again privately -- either going to lunch or taking in a Boston Red Sox or Celtics game -- or having their two families go out to dinner together.
"I offered to get his kids into Harvard if he doesn't arrest me again," he said, drawing loud laughter from the audience.

Gates better not bring his daugher Elizabeth along...
And while I might agree with the presidents initial statement that the Cambridge Police Department acted stupidly, my father is not the first nor will he be the last black man to be arrested for no reasonin his own home or elsewhereand Sergeant Crowley isnt the first officer to fudge a police report. They are simply pawns in the rebirth of unfashionable intolerance in a world that likes to think our dashing brown-skinned 44th president has emerged to make nice with the past, present, and future.

This is a cavil, but how is Obama “dark-skinned”? I know people of Southern European ancestry who are darker.

Bull!
He LIKES the bringing up “racial profiling” to hide behind and make whitey feel guilty. Also he likes seeing whitey with the black President that is his friend - another racist.

We learned a lot from this episode. From Obama’s chimes to Gates’ behavior, they showed they are persons of bad character.
Now they are trying to humor their way out of it. Ha Ha...I’m laughing.....NOT

They should leave it at a beer and go their separate ways. Gates makes his living talking about “blacks as victims” - and that's not a good drinking partner. Plus they both have Irish blood in them...

Gates said he and Crowley discussed meeting again privately -- either going to lunch or taking in a Boston Red Sox or Celtics game -- or having their two families go out to dinner together. I see nothing wrong with this. But for both of their sakes, I hope they do this privately.

“Prof.” Gates, just go away

..it’s all an act designed to mask Gates’real persona....the angry black man with a racial chip on his shoulder.

“I offered to get his kids into Harvard if he doesn't arrest me again,”
Who'd want their kids being exposed to someone like him?
I sure wouldn't.
Our Ivy League schools are no longer what they used to be. At some point, in the NEAR future, we won't have the foreigners clamoring to get into our schools. They're building up their own Universities. Even the Chinese LAUGHED at our economic policies at their Universities. They're running away from communism and running TO capitalism.
Our Nobel Prize winners are ALL FOREIGN BORN.

Gates, it’s not going to work — although forgiveness and forgetfulness is needed here. We KNOW someone really put the screws to you behind the scenes. It’s obvious. A full-fledged apology is needed. Now. Say, “I’m sorry, I was wrong to overreact like that.” And, say it in front of television cameras from every major network. Then, Crowley needs to step up AFTER that takes place and accept your apology. The same apology should come from Barak Obama.

I guess Obama or one of his people had an official STFU talk with Gates. The more Gates talks about whitey, the more Obama's polls go down and that couldn't be allowed.
