Gates was born with a club foot hence the nickname Skip.

There is no need for you to get rude in a debate. We obviously disagree, and I am providing counter arguments to yours. But you don’t need to get rude.

Come on.

I find it interesting that Bill Cosby said he was shocked that Obama felt it necessary to answer this question during last night’s press conference. Me, too. What it has to do with healthcare is beyond me.

So, opinions are all over the place. So be it for that “post-racial” moment we were all suppose to be experiencing.

Thanks for the update!

“I realize that Gates was probably jet-lagged [...]”

And this passes for knowledge and the basis of judgment? I’m so glad your omniscient view is fast at work here. LOL!

Being a colleague or acquaintance of someone doesn’t mean that you know them well enough to say they would never lose their temper and cause a tirade. Gates even admits he was mad and yelled out those accusations of racism.

The problem Gates and the punk president have is that there were eye witnesses who all support the police report and do not support Gates.

Gates is the one who is a racists and who owes an apology for slandering a police officer who was doing his job.

As far as Obama in this, he was never qualified to be President and as every day of the last 6 months go by we see more of that.

I’m proud to be white!
I’m proud of our heritage and the wonderful advances in the human condition that were helped by civil society based on Liberty and natural law.

I make no apologies to anyone and have no guilt.

If you don’t like the fact that I’m big white successful guy who loves my country and believes in American Exceptionalism and pushing the envelope of American liberty and freedom wherever we can..

That’s just tough shit..Get used to it!!!
Your racist dream of destroying whitey and American power really means the backlash revolution on you.

Cop who arrested black scholar is profiling expert

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090723/ap_on_re_us/us_harvard_scholar_disorderly_51

The white police sergeant criticized by President Barack Obama for arresting black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his Massachusetts home is a police academy expert on understanding racial profiling.

Cambridge Sgt. James Crowley has taught a class about racial profiling for five years at the Lowell Police Academy after being hand-picked for the job by former police Commissioner Ronny Watson, who is black, said Academy Director Thomas Fleming.

“I have nothing but the highest respect for him as a police officer. He is very professional and he is a good role model for the young recruits in the police academy,” Fleming told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The course, called “Racial Profiling,” teaches about different cultures that officers could encounter in their community “and how you don’t want to single people out because of their ethnic background or the culture they come from,” Fleming said.
