Comment – Opinion. Everyone has now heard the story of the Harvard professor, (Obama’s BFF), being arrested at the front door of his own home in Cambridge, Mass. Of course the cry of “racism – racism’ echoed in the halls of the mainstream media, and the real whole truth was not reported. Reading the police report I saw that when the professor was approached and asked for identification to prove he live at the house, he began screaming, “This is what they do to black men in America.” The incident began when Prof. Henry Gates returned home from a trip. Having misplaced his key he and his limo driver, also black, began shouldering the door to force it open. A neighbor called 911. When the police arrived they asked Gates for his I.D. to verify if he lived there. The professor, (who sounds nutty to begin with), began accusing the cops of racism – you can figure out the rest. Enter Obama.
In a press release yesterday, Obama told the media that he thought the police acted “stupidly’ during the incident. We have now have found out that the professor who is a friend of Obama is also involved in the W.E.B. Du Bois Society an early black civil rights and pan African movement, (back to Africa movement.) DuBois who was a known communist, eventually left the U.S. for Ghana, in 1963, where he gave up his U.S. citizenship to become a citizen of Ghana. Looking at this aspect of Professor Gates involvement it with the DuBois legacy, it is easy to see why he is a virulent race baiter, (I might add that DuBois who was born in 1871, the son of slaves, most likely did have a reason to hate whites as a black from that era.) Enter Obama.
Obama used this incident to state that this was proof, (Im paraphrasing), that racial profiling is still in play in the U.S., (maybe this is a brief glimpse of how Obama really views white people.) I might say in reply to the President, that Professor Gates is an example of a reverse discrimination race-baiter who is so caught up in his own self perceptions of whites that he negates everything he stands for – simply put he is a hater.
Sgt. Crowly the unfortunate recipient of being a victim to these allegations has said in reply to the President, (I am again paraphrasing), “I did nothing wrong and there is no way I will ever apologize to Professor Gates,” and ended up telling the President to essentially mind his own business. I would say to Sgt. Crowley, plan for an early retirement and make sure your tax returns in the last forever are correct, because I am sure you will be getting a visit from IRS auditors-just the price you get for being white. Just my opinion.

Wow, seriously? Smart1 you seem really really bitter. It’s too bad, that you can’t see that even Obama has realized that he didn’t sound like the brightest banana in the bunch by saying what he said. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32122967/ns/us_news-race_and_ethnicity/
You waste too much time justifying ignorant comments. No one expects the President of the United States to say such things. He’s entitled to an opinion yes, but he should have been a bit more cautious about what comes out of his mouth. He is a leader first and foremost -not a black man but a leader. He was hired to lead our nation by example and he didn’t do so in this case…
I’m sorry, but I’m really sick of listening to rants of people who live their life on a racial band wagon. Really get over it……..
Holy Camoly – take a deeeeeep breath! Race baiting won’t go away until the guilt ridden white libs just shut up – and stop feeling guilty – if they have nothing to be guilty about.
Well, I do know about racism in America, it has been institutionalized against my generation by the apologists who participated in the Red revolution of the last century. Surging and resurfacing and manifesting as Federally institutionalized racism against better qualified candidates in the job market, “quotas”. If stereotypes were not true, well “racial profiling” never would have surfaced. I would no longer call it as such, this professor is obviously a hate monger and is attempting to sell another book on what oppression whitey has handed out to him this century, quick to blame the current generations for the mistakes of the past, so essentially I am guilty of being born white. White apologist have ingrained and empowered these hate mongers to leverage themselves through social revolution to discriminate based on race. The supreme court has already ruled such actions as illegal, so Smart1 you are obviously drinking the cool aid and not considering the raw discrimination your generation is imposing upon mine. If America was so racist a black semi-militant alleged American president would not be claiming some small town cop of racism on national television. It is quite obvious to me, Obama is backing the agenda of hate mongers black and white to racially divide a country of majority whites who elected a black minority president. So obviously you and many like you have a chip on your shoulder and you have some dead socialist agenda to push. Each man’s interaction with law enforcement is based on his own actions, cognition and effective communication are the primary ways to avoid a negative outcome. Some people can not do such a thing, especially those who have a chip on their shoulders, thereby affecting their own destiny. This is obvious to all involved, Obama is no doubt a puppet and Professor Gates is profiteering from racism that exists, but mainly against the white majority, namely my generation in America. I am tired of being discriminated against and competing with non citizens for higher education, home loans and jobs, which they are not entitled. No one is entitled to a god damned thing and that’s what the past few generations have seem to forgotten and the current generations are being taught. I am a veteran and have fought for freedoms not expressed in the constitution and extended to those undeserving. I want all of the illegals out and so does 85% of all Americans *American Solutions.com–12 biggest polls ever conducted. I also want minorities to stop feeling they are entitled to anything and instead of shaking a hate mongers stick pointing it at a picture of the white devil in the classroom and in church, take responsibility and accountability of their own faults as a culture. As whites we must rid ourselves of white trash ourselves, which we can accomplish on our own, but we are not blaming corporate America and the Jewish financial institutions for creating them or financing them. At some point everyone is accountable for their own actions and the day that the black community is ready to do that, that is the day racism, true racism will end…at least between blacks and whites.
I am really sick of hearing from commentators including you who are not of African American decent and have NO CLUE as to what happened nor have you ever been subjected to how we (African Americans) are treated when encountering police officers. This is not just a black police issue it’s a police issue in general. Policemen are programed to think when a African American is in the vicinity of a crime that we automatically are guilty. They approach us with hostility and don’t mind expressing it, they speak to us with disrespect and dare we speak back to them the same way. If we get upset and raise our voice or our facial expression change they are instantly ready to arrest us. I am a women and I have experienced this first hand. But when a white person is approached they are very accomodating and speak in a all together different tone, which was proven on a Nightline program. You and the other people on here making comments obviously have no idea of what your talking about. You have just taken what the cop said as truth because he is a cop but they lie and of course since this has gotten so much attention this cop is going to speak as though “I was just doing my job” but no one listened to Dr Gates who has more degree’s than 10 people put together. This is an symbol of racism in itself, believe the white guy and completely discount what the black guy said. Gates said the cop followed him through his house without permission and refused to give him his name and badge number. I have encountered this also, policemen get very defensive when you ask them for their name and badge number for some reason. Dr Gates may have overreacted but as an policemen who was on his job which is to protect and serve he should have defused the situation instead of exasperating it. The police may have been doing his job but the question is could he have been more patient and accomodating knowing this man was upset? YES HE COULD HAVE !!!! The professor should have NEVER ended up in hand cuffs and that’s what the President meant when he said “the police dept acted stupidly”. Policemen are prones to overreacting when a black man raises their voice, ask to many questions or doesn’t lay down like a slave. How do you think Rodney King ended up being beaten or how the young man was shot dead in the streets of NYC the day before he was to wed. You are looking at this from another whole perspective one that you have not experience as a black persons, so what you and the people on this and all comment sites, other MSM are saying is irrelevant because you have no clue. This is where white Americans really become sickening speaking from a blind point of view. The President has probably experienced something resembling this before, we all have.
SO DON’T COMMENT ON WHAT YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off – I am a former Deputy Sheriff and never subjected anyone to the behavior you describe. Second, those of us from the Viet Nam era broke those barriers – yet radical activitists and race baiters, white and black, make a living off perpetuating hate. I was subjected to more abusive comments by minorities than I can count. I would suggest you look at the facts surrounding this incident – Professor Gates initiated the race baiting not Sgt. Crowley. However, that being said thank you for your opinion – at least we can all express ourselves at this date – the future – who knows.
Each verbal stumble reminds me not to swallow my gum when speaking- I mean reading- in public.
I just finished watching Soledad O’Brien on the Lew Dobbs marshmallow show. Stupid, disgusting, intelligence insulting, void of rational thought but reeking of the left wing rationalizing that white guilt should exist and that black racism does not exist. Since these hypocrits live in gated communities where the lawless predators can’t gain entry they will most probably never have the opportunity to find out why they should respect a police officer who questions their breaking into their own home when keys are lost or forgotten; especially when their home has been broken into on at least one prior occasion.
How about if this white haters home WAS broken into, the police do not respond, his berets and canes are stolen? (Now if I said his boom box was also taken then I’m the racist profiler, no?) This must be racism since the police would have responded if it was a white man’s home….
Vincenzo, your friend is right-on in his blaming the guilt ridden whitey for inventing and subscribing to this national phenomenon which has become a living, thriving component of our national fabric.
I suspect you are correct, recently I have been seeing the true character displayed. He made a point of telling the electorate this health care thing was not about him. This was an uneccessary and inappropriate offer of proog that cannot be corroborated.
I am dying to see what Avinom Sapir has to say about Obama. Avinom is a retired Israel Police Detective who started and runs the Laboratory for Scientific Interrogation. I have completed their SCAN Course, Scientific Content Analysis.

This is partly why to me, based on my education, training and experience, Obama is an astounding case study in deception. His verbals and non-verbals are profoundly deceptive, almost every time I watch and track him.
This is about you Mister Obama. You and your compromised character and ethos.
Take a look the verbals and non-verbals of this police officer in the Cambridge apostsy and you will see an example of honest responses where the verbals and non-verbals correlate: http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/cop_who_arrested_gates_not_sorry_072209
This is an apostasy, complete with racial remarks, agenda, and deceptions. This office has been completely abadonned by his department, denied constitutional rights, and has already suffered his own civil rights violations. I have no faith that Eric Holder will say a word, and already the machine is at work trying to repair the damage done by the alleged President. This has been one calamity after another since January and all this from a man who performed a flawless end run on Americans that would have Hitler, Trotsky, and Lenin quite proud. The psychological warfare was superb and quite successful.
I spoke at length last night with a very close friend who is a black man, at a Police Command rank with a major sized local agency here. He is also a special operator in a military reserve unit and was on extended active duty until this week OCONUS. He and I love one another like brothers. He is pissed, extremely angry about Obama as President. He is astounded at what he has discovered while he was away fighting for this country. He is not a racist, never has been.
Then he brought up this debacle in Cambridge. He blames the white man for laying down to this crap 40 years ago, the white man let this happen and traded honor for guilt that never should have been allowed. Both of us are sick and tired of “…lapdog effeminate white men who are submissive and not men at all…” We are also sick and tired of blacks who are purely racist who exploit their color and successfully manipulate circumstances and never, ever are held accountable.
The only real man in this situation is that Police Sergeant in Cambridge. If it were me he would be the Chief tomorrow and the entire leadership of the department would be fired by 1600 tomorrow. Then the arrest warrant I would sign and have this professor picked up and charged appropriately and refer this to FBI Civil Rights as well to determine felony charges against Gates with his little deceptive interview with Soledad Obrien this morning as admissible out of court statements.
I am sick of this.
Only us professionals seem to get to the bottom of these things quickly. Obama is showing his bovine stupidy everytime he opens his mouth. Off the subject – his speech last night was almost embarressing – if I read his micros right I saw a touch of confusion somewhere in there – I could be mistaken but I very rarely am wrong.
