CNN Watch: HENRY LOUIS GATES Story Of Being A Good Neighbor=Racism pt 2

CNN has been lagging so far behind in cable news ratings that they started scandalizing the benign long ago, much as the Hearst-era dailies of the past did in order to drum up sales. What is nothing more than a silly story of a grown man acting like a child makes national news under the special banner, "Divided Nation".

Where there is nothing more here than the division of people who appreciate a neighbor being concerned enough to call police when witnessing two people breaking into a nearby house versus those who ignore such things like the bystander effect noted in the famous Genovese case ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitty_Genovese ), CNN tries to amplify this embarrassing case of overrreaction by a grey-haired professor ("Yeah, I'll speak with your mama outside", indeed. See the original report that shows even Gates' atty admitting his client acted disorderly here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z9x9x... ) into a national case in order to portray America as something it isn't: broken.

But as the famous news publishers of the past have bellowed, "The American people don't know what to think until I TELL THEM WHAT TO THINK."

Don't believe me?Explain the HI incarceration level amongst the Black Youth,just for starters.These so called Black leaders are just trying to save their own skin at the expense of the POST-INTEGRATION black youth.The Black Bourgeois can no longer stay in their escapist world!

Bad interview and poor anecdotes. Why do so many people cry "RACISM !!!! PLEASE FEEL SORRY FOR ME?"

Why not just realize that EVERYONE has lived through tough experiences and most realized their particular persecution was the result of a selfish individual and not a national conspiracy to attack a skin color?

...just tired of so much network news attempts to separate us....

This is what passes as an "interview" by Wolf. More like one by Sheep.

Plenty of white people rob banks. How many times have you been pulled over for suspicion of bank robbery? She's obviously much smarter than you. STUPID FUCKING MONKEY.
