Black Harvard Professor arrested after breaking into his own home?

You weren't there so you have no idea what went down. You're just going off of what the media has blown out of proportion. This should have never been a big deal but it became a big deal when Obama made it an issue.

 

so because he may offend a black person, he should not investigate? ****ing pathetic opinion.

And yeah, only minorities are pulled over and it is always for no reason

 

Um, you left out the part about Skip Gates verbally berating the police officer. Yes, the same police officer who answered the call to protect Gates' home. Gates, the 'scholar', was talking about Crowley's 'momma' and behaving wildly. The commotion caused the neighbors to gather around and see what it was all about. Basically Gates was looking for a fight, and found one. He got taken down to the station. He lost.

Again, it's sad and pathetic that this man of such ignorance and mental immaturity is considered a scholar. More like a product of racial extortion and feelings of white guilt.

 

I think we can all read a police report unless you're saying the cop lied in his report? Is that your contention?

 

I forgot, you tiny tenters only believe racism exists in reverse.

Once Gates established his identity, what was there to investigate?

Minorities are frequently pulled over for no reason. If you knew any minorities you could have this confirmed very quickly.

 

why the single quotes? is it because he's AA you can't see him as a regular scholar?

 

And if you read the report, the cop began exiting the house until Gates came after him with more racial accusations and vulgar words.

And you think the cop was investigating this for no reason? Do you know what story you are talking about? Minorities are often pulled over for perfectly legitimate reason whether you want to believe. White people are pulled over for nothing as well. If a cop was worried about offending people based on their race, crime would be rampant all over the country.

 

Yeah, I read the report. It's right here if you want to read it again. It boils down to a man not cooperating with officials and acting, oh what do you call it, oh that's right "STUPIDLY".

 

sorry

Your honor, that man was talking bout my momma!

Therapy is obviously in order for the post-traumatic stress that having your momma talked about by an old man with a cane can induce while you're serving and protecting the public inside the man's house.

TJ, Refman says you're going to change your name to Sacker_Jorge the way your portfolio is looking. Sup with that dude?

 

I know several minorities actually but I don't refer to them as that. I call them people and friends. And if you must know one of my friends who is what you are referring to gets pulled over all of the time because he honestly is being an idiot. That's why we have cops. I could care less if they offend someone who is not acting according to the law.

 

He exited the house and should have kept on walking to his car so he could protect and serve somewhere where an actual crime might have been in progress.

Yes, we're all familliar with white profiling. It's been all the rage since about 1957.

 

Sacker_Jorge? That is an insult to anyone's sensibilities. I like my name, it is regal and dignified. That said, if I were to ever change it, I'd go with Sexcules_Montalban.

 

You have an M word friend that gets pulled over for honestly acting like an idiot and thus any M word, or tens of thousands of M word type people for the last several decades, that claim to have been pulled over for no reason cannot be trusted? Is that what you're going with?

 

so where was the racism at play?

Oh, that right, coming from Gates

 

The racism is at play in his life experience as a 60 year old American black man.

 

Does T_J use that same ideology when blacks are profiled?

 

Unless I read you wrong, it sounds like you are sort of justifying profiling to a certain degree.

 

were blacks profiled in this case?
