  • YES! And he has done a wonderful job!

    BTW-He has been married to a white woman for two decades...This is why I laugh at those who say he is a racist!

    LOL!

  • I'm sure Hannity saw the whole clip and understands the truth, he just doesn't have an interest in showing it in context. It would mean less ratings, which is all that really matters to those people, especially Fox News.

  • @message2blackwomen

    He's being objective. 

  • i see why henry gates has his views he must have despised his mother,

  • Henry Louis Gates Jr reminds me so much of my uncle lol and the way he looks.

  • @message2blackwomen Absolutely! and how could have been suprised, or taken off gaurd by her reactions? What did he expect, particularly at that time?

  • Arrest him!

  • If you throw you MOM under the bus? WTF!!! How can you be respected

  • Why is it that people bash on this dude for being married to a white women? For some reason both black and white people don't like the fact that he's married to one.

  • @IrishAustrianCath Wasn't half white, his mother was. And the rest of the people listed besides Che and Castro are all white. So what exactly is your point? Che and Castro were definitely NOT inspired by Celtics, nor was Malcolm....

  • I agree with Dr. Dyson's statement that if Crowley been a black officer who made a similar error against a famous white Harvard Professor (say for example Henry Kissinger) he would have been placed on extended assignment as a traffic cop. I really don't see why Pres.Obama saw the need to have a so-called 'beer summit'. Can all citizens of police abuse and complaint expect the same? You shd see the YT series about police being a big "street gang"
