Preston, I’m not sure you realise how racist you’re sounding…

Black people “did [slavery] to themselves”, followed up by tarring a skin colour with a specific personality? Wow.

This professor, from what I have seen, has always had a chip on his shoulder towards white people. He would love to make the slavery issue TOTALLY the white peoples’ burden; and ignor the historical fact, that it was, and is, the black African culture that initially and PRIMARILY cultivated the racially organized slavery era. The blacks basically did it to themselves (just look at how they’re into ‘personality’ and ‘idol’ worship). But “the good professor” could never admit to that; otherwise how could he continue his ‘upperly mobile’ lifestyle… The proud ancestor of a house bleep-er.

[...] Neely Tucker gives some good advice for dealing with police and offers a perspective similar to mine from yesterday’s post. [...]

It sounds like he was caught doing something he shouldn’t. People don’t get “loud” for no reason.

So who do you think used poor judgement?

The person who reported a possible break-in, after seeing two men with backpacks try to force a door open?

Or the police officer for responding to the report and investigating?

I’d really like to know who should have done something different (except for Gates, IMHO).

You obviously have not spent any time as an African American Male! If you had, you would know exactly how, why and for what reason Dr. Gates responded the way that he did!

For God’s sake, every break-in in Cambridge does not involve Black males…..
