But those statistics are swept under the rug and as each study is completed, they are just as quickly squelched.

There’s a reason that 70% of the prison population is black. The elephant in the room is that blacks have historically been angry. That’s true enough. But it’s very hard to admit that what they’re angry at is themselves, which has manifested itself into countless “non-profit” groups, discussion boards, PBS specials and so forth.

I was always taught when I was a child that when I was angry, to look at myself, first. And that often requires gut-wrenching honesty. And that, is the basis for real progress. Something that blacks, historically, refuse to face.

And…sadly, when they do, as in the case of Mr Bill Cosby, they are drummed out of the black race by the likes of Sharpton, Jackson (the one without talent), Rangel, etc.

(CNN) — President Obama said that police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, “acted stupidly” in arresting a prominent black Harvard professor last week after a confrontation at the man’s home.

“I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played,” Obama said Wednesday night while taking questions after a White House news conference.

Obama defended Gates on Wednesday night, while admitting that he may be “a little biased,” because Gates is a friend.

“But I think it’s fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, No. 3 … that there’s a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.”

The incident, Obama said, shows “how race remains a factor in this society.” Watch the president address the incident »

The officer, Sgt. James Crowley, told CNN affiliate WCVB earlier Wednesday that he will not apologize.

“There are not many certainties in life, but it is for certain that Sgt. Crowley will not be apologizing,” he said.

(Gates) He said Wednesday that he and his lawyers were considering further actions, not excluding a lawsuit.

Gates said that although the ordeal had upset him, “I would do the same thing exactly again.”

From the Associated Press’ report on tonight’s Obama show:

While the session was dominated by health care, Obama said in response to one question that Cambridge, Mass., police “acted stupidly” last week in arresting Henry Louis Gates Jr., a black scholar at Harvard, in his house. Police were called to the house to investigate a possible break-in. Gates produced identification but was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct after protesting the police conduct.

“Now I don’t know, not having been there, what role race played in that,” the president said. But he added that blacks and Latinos often are stopped by authorities in disproportionate numbers. Police have dropped charges initially lodged against Gates. …

Wow, the President playing racial politics – who would have ever thought?

Gates is a professor of literature at Harvard. ’nuff said.

You’ve got to be kidding, right? Please . . . tell me you’re kidding? No way this bum competes with Walter E. Williams or Thomas Sowell. Not even in the same league. Not even on the same planet.

He may as well have continued, “.. and now I have the golden opportunity to avenge each and every one of them!”

Advertisment: Free Course for Gates

Mother’s tell your children, not to dis-respect police officers. Even if you’ve done nothing wrong, be respectful. DO NOT sass, yell at, or “threaten” them, or you will make things worse for yourself. Be polite if you can.

“Son, if you just arrived from Communist China, and busting a door down, and threaten “you don’t know who your messing with” this may be cause for the police to find out just who exactly is threatening them. Terrorists come in all colors and races.

Gates said “” [the officer] probably voted for Barack. That wasn’t much help to me.”"
Free Obama Advice for Gates:
“I value good manners, for example. Everytime I meet a kid who speaks clearly and looks me in the eye, who says “yes sir” and “thank you” and “please” and “excuse me,” I feel more hopeful about the country. I don’t think I am alone in this. I can’t legislate good manners. But I can encourage good manners whenever I’m addressing a group of young people.” barack obama “values” the audacity of hope pg 60
Gate’s parents, Harvard educ., tv cop shows, America, China, rest at Martha’s Vineyard have all failed him. He may have to paint his bright yellow house before he can sell it.

1. The problem here is class, not race, and the prejudiced one is Gates. He has his own driver, whom he can apparently commandeer into a brainless, impatient idea of breaking down a door. The story tells us, right from the beginning, Gates likes being respected and assumes others are meant to answer to his whims. So then the policeman arrives, trying to figure out what is happening. Gates can’t believe that a working-class Boston cop — someone who probably doesn’t speak as eruditely as Gates — has the nerve to ask him to step outside the house. And so he proceeds to bait and dehumanize the cop, even threatening him with some kind of complaint that could endanger his job.

2. The person who was really abused in all this was the cop. He had to respond to the call to do his job, and at the first threat of a racism lawsuit, he has to worry about his career and reputation being ruined. It was cruel and intentionally ruthless to bring race into the equation when all Gates had to do was step outside and cooperate.

3. The charges have been dropped and Gates spent only a few hours in jail. He should apologize to the Boston Police Dept. and that officer in particular if he expects an apology from Boston Police. He should not turn this into grounds for more academic discussion of race. The only racial element to this case is the fact that Gates used racial threats in order to make a policeman fearful of his job.

QED

I think he’s done enough of that studying he and Oboma’s hero Dubois. Autographs? Dang if he’d have stayed in jail for a couple of days he could sign and charge for them. Could this chronic whack be on crack?
