and we'll probably never hear a word of this again - certainly not from the maelstrom media.

WOW, MARK! did you catch the link www.theroot.com - apparently one cannot work there unless they are black?!?

Fame does have its rewards, but also its problems.. I never heard of Gates prior to this incident.. (even though the press continually refers to him as a famous "Black Scholar".. I suppose in the mainstream media a "black scholar" is supposed to be an oddity..

Gates' race baiting outburst followed by his president's failed attempts to excuse it, may in fact, result in some real problems for the "black scholar" (just staying with the mainstream press here)

especially if his "charity" was in fact copying the Jessie Jackson methods of just taking money and claiming to do great things with it. Uh Oh Mr. Gates.. wonder how they treat Black Scholars in prison?

I would guess that there are a lot of famous scholars you've never heard of. I doubt race has anything to do with it -- in general, "famous scholar" is either an oxymoron or means someone who is famous in the academic world.

"In 2006, he was inducted into the Sons of the American Revolution, after he traced his lineage back to John Redman, a Free Negro who fought in the Revolutionary War."

well, what do u know! Still Free after all these years!

Gates's one accomplishment is being a irascible old race baiting douche.

Period, end of story.

Gates is a racist who is still pissed he was too ugly to play out his Sydney Poitier/ Mandingo fantasy with white women.

gates says it's time to move on:

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!:

"BOSTON Black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. says he's ready to move on from his arrest by a white police officer, hoping to use the encounter to improve fairness in the criminal justice system and saying "in the end, this is not about me at all."

After a phone call from President Barack Obama urging calm in the aftermath of his arrest last week, Gates said he would accept Obama's invitation to the White House for a beer with him and Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley."

LMAO!

I love this stroy, another one of Husseins freinds is a race baiting crook. (move over Jeremiah)

So now we can add tax scammer to the list of domestic terrorist, racist preacher, convicted felons, disgraced elected officals, and drugs dealers who make up the totality of President Husseins inner circle.

I hope Gates ends up taking another ride in the paddy wagon.

Bwahahahahahaaa

'It was a marked change in tone for Gates, who in the days following his arrest gathered up his legal team and said he was contemplating a lawsuit. He even vowed to make a documentary on his arrest to tie into a larger project about racial profiling."

AH, THE TAPES WERE PLAYED?

As Rush said, or words to the effect that there is, "Kobe beef and champagne for Obama's 'special' guests, and beer for a Cambridge police sergeant ..."

AHH, THE TAPES WERE PLAYED?
