YOU ARE DEALING WITH A INDIVIDUALS THAT DONT HAVE THAT TYPE OF INTEGRITY AS A HUMAN BEING....THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.THAT TYPE OF RACIST BEHAVIOR IS SO DEEPLY INGRAINED IN A LOT OF WHITE OFFICERS PYSCH SO DEEP IN GRAINED IN ALL FORMS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ACROSS THIS COUNTRY

If Mr gates didnt have the type of money he has ..he would still be doing time for absolutely nothing.Prisons are the new fortune 500 business. the shit THAT goes on in the judicial system IS criminal Americas court is the new slavery AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEBODY THAT HAS WORK ALONG SIDE THE SYSTEM....ANYBODY THAT THINK THIS WAS NOT RACIAL..TOTALLY RACIAL IS EITHER LYING OR TRYING TO BULLSHIT OTHERS

It is unfortunate that Gates himself did not follow through on the things he stated in this interview. He was on the Oprah Show several months later talking about how he and Crowley are like "distant cousins" because of a DNA testing that was done on the both of them. It is obvious that his being in the White House with President Obama and Crowley has clouded his judgement and thus hampered his righteous actions on making that racial profiling documentary or filing a lawsuit against the police.

NO! This is what happens when you turn your back on a CRISIS in your community! It meets you at your front door step!TO ALL THE YOUNG BLACK YOUTH,READ CAREFULLY: YOUR BLACK LEADERS HAVE SOLD YOU OUT. Don't believe me?Explain the HI incarceration level amongst the Black Youth.These so called Black leaders are just trying to save their own skin at the expense of the POST-INTEGRATION black youth.There are young Black Males that need him and his knowledge;But hes in CHINA..!

@micromanagedgov Maybe you are just a racist ass hole!

[MrBric12]

@Huttster3221 Well, how else are you suppose to file a complaint on an unlawful cop.

[MAKANDA100]

@micromanagedgov you're wrong, he holds no grudge against anyone, it's about fair treatment,how absurd it is to be arrested while trying to enter your house. And also this thing about Africa is also wrong because european powers completely destroyed Africa, they plundered it, mercilessly. Thanks for nothing!

idiot...his wife is white....

[micromanagedgov]

Henry Gates is the director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research. He knows everything there is to know about black people and he is obviously holding a grudge against white authority figures for some reason, maybe because we brought his people over here instead of leaving them to disease and ridicule in Africa....so they had to do a little work for freedom..we did too against the british and we lost more people than they did.
