Henry Louis Gates' First Public Remarks Since "Beer Summit"

[RevolutionaryINK]

Everyone is calling Gates a RACIST but the funny thing is, he only has DISDAIN for blacks and brags that he is only 43 percent Black.

His feelings were just bruised when he got arrested. He though that he had risen past his BLACKNESS, and that his status would speak for him. His real internal issue is that HE doesn't think he is the same as other black males, as tho his status and his psuedo-Liberal veiws make him exempt.

[RevolutionaryINK]

Even in this video he joked about getting the cops kids into Harvard if it would buy him a pass. He was joking but that is his mentality, all the way.

Nothing but a pathetic race-baiter. You are a disgrace to the black community Gates. Sad to think you are teaching the future leaders of our Country. Shameful.

[oriana647]

how old are you? 14?

[oriana647]

what a arrogant elitist snob, he teaches "race" at harvard, where did he get the idea that he was smarter than anyone else? any bozo can teach a class about race. Let's see this smartass walk in a cops shoes for a week.

[unapimper]

Sour grapes much? Harvard is an institution that's about as much "white culture" as it is old. You're just jealous you'll never get into Harvard.

[brian38383838]

Wow nice argument Unawimper, next why don't you do what Gates did and talk about his mamma.

[unapimper]

I'll talk about your mamma and how she obviously let you take the shortbus to school one time too many.

[brian38383838]

WOw, that was pretty much the response I expected from an uneducated ignorant race baiting fool like yourself.

I'm actually glad Obama won, I hated McCain and anybody else on the dem ticket might have governed with some intelligence. Obama on the other hand is setting back liberalism at least20-30 years, he is a disaster. I'll dare say, the worst president we have ever had, it's just a shame that the first black president was wasted on him.

[unapimper]

6 months into a new presidency and you are already writing the obituary. I know you have your fingers crossed on your white-knuckled hands just praying for the economy to fail (which it isn't and is gradually rebounding as we speak) just so you can point and say "Obama failed". Look I know you guys are desperate, and on the brink of political irrelevancy, but it's time for the adults to clean up after the fiasco of the bush years.

[ezekielthemack]

He's clearly a lot smarter than you. He needs to teach the millions of ignorant white people about race because they have no understanding of it. Now get off youtube you non-entity of a person.

[jpgarcia26]

To ezekielthemack:

Yeah and blacks have a clear understanding of race; thats why they keep playing that card. You are as much a fool as Gates. He's smarter than me yes, as ignorant as you -no doubt.

[ambsie0]

Damn Racist..shutup!

[monez14]

RACE BAITER, BURN IN HELL

[JohnnyTRex99]

Many silver linings to this whole AFFAIR, especially for publishers and booksellers. Prof. Gates' current book will become a best-seller and Sgt. Crowley will write one.

Is it true that that there's no such thing as "bad" publicity?

[cagedtigersteve]

Gates insults Crowley's kids. Here Gates clearly is saying that Crowley's children are not smart enough to get into Harvard on merit but will have to give Gates something in return. Gates is clearly a racist snob talking down to others.

[Eball06]

Dude he was just joking. Just shut up and move on like everybody else.

[JohnnyTRex99]

"Clearly".....I don't really think the intentions of his statements were ill-willed. He's just trying to add some levity to the situation and extend an olive branch. Moreover, a policeman's salary will get you little more than a cup of coffee at Harvard -- and even then...those lattes might be out his income bracket.

[brian38383838]

Gates was absolutely flaunting his elitism in this video. If he really wanted to add some "levity" to the situation he would apologize for wrongly playing the race card and show some damn humility.

Obama tried to use hatred for cops to make sure he doesn't lose his swell of black voters and it backfired on his racist ass.

He doesn't get it, America is not as racist as he, his wife and his "former" preacher is. America is not politicians, they are regular folks that value honesty, teachable?

[Puabond]

I think we could experience a great foreign policy based on a pantheon of beer summits, just need an alcoholic statesman, gl finding that lol.

I recommend a stimulus infusion of money to the beer garden markets in all of America to begin to truly foster peace... and then legalize Hemp.
