Fuck this shit, if it was a white man that was in Henry's shoes and a black police officer, there would not have been such a fuzz about it. Its just because he is black, then he get a crazy idea in his head that this is a race question, i say fuck him, tell me, oh please tell me, what all this have to do with skin color?!

People like him shouldn't be teaching with that much emotional baggage. :| I think people act out in pity to get noticed. I say this was clearly staged in order to get money out of it. :|

Blacks will always remain under the shoes of the whites. This is the reality, and except it.

Marther Luther King did fought for the blacks, but his fight was incomplete. He did 50% of the job, but he left the other 50%. That other 50% was that he never demanded nor fought for a seperate homeland for the blacks. The racial tension shows that all. He turned out to be a loser, and all his efforts are gone waste.

white or black if you mouth of to a cop you go to jail. i dont know exactly what gates said but i will say the racial double standard in this country is getting outrageous.

IMO racial profiling did not occur. It was as simple as 2 men with egos. The prof. was offended for being confronted in his own home and this reminded him of how he was treated growing up and believed it was b/c of his color (at the time he didnt know his neighbor called the cops). The cop wouldnt provide his name and badge number. The cop was offended by the profs accusations and who knows what else was said. Either way egos collide and now its national news.

what's wrong with "you people"
How would you act if the police came to your home accusing you of robbing yourself, what would you say?? I'm sure this wasn't the first time it happened and it's probably not the last time a black man is going to be arrested for 100% bullshit!!!

The report simply states that the office gave the professor many chances to be responsible. The professor immediately began insulting the officer and calling him a racist. Their are multiple witnesses and there is absolutely not reason for this officer to lie.
It is simple, the police department has to be able to check the identity of suspect. They could get sued if they don't do their duty.
The president's comments on race, in the case of Prof. Gates' arrest, without previous knowledge of the facts leading up to the arrest, will strongly resonate with the White community long after this incident ends. In the 2010 election, Whites will be more inclined to check in with their racial subconscious--which has been stretch to its limit to be evenhanded in racial matters--through decades of mind-numbing, guilt-ridden, Madison Avenue-style conditioning.

NO... A recent poll shows it only "resonated" with southern whites... (the white confederate racists) And they vote republican anyway! I can post a video of this poll if you would like? This is what the GOP is doing; they are trying to bring the White (44% that voted for Obama) back into the fold by marginalizing Obama's popularity with negative racial politics. They know they will NEVER get a winning majority of Black, Hispanic, and Asian votes so this racist game has become their only hope!

Gates is an obvious racist. All you have to do is read the police report witness by neighbors, white, black, and latino cops.
Professor Gates got exactly what he deserved.
