I’ve see Gates on “History Detectives,” and also in the PBS episode-thing about African-American honky-white ancestry, it was obvious how very much his 1/125% Irishness disappointed him so – to be so defiled by potato-eating pesants. Clearly, desperately he wanted the rich blood of Nubian Princes (and Princesses) coursing through his intellectual veins.
He struck me very much as a self-absorbed, puffed-up popinjay, and I believe he is/was incapable of any other reaction than anger and spite. It wasn’t even a choice he could have tried to make – it was his instinct – so I disagree, he couldn’t have been a real somebody other than the somebody he already is.
He was arrested in his own house, for SHOUTING.
And you’re all OK with that.
You all talk about Jack Booted Thug this and JBT that.
Remember that (I will) when the JBTs arrest YOU in your own home … for your guns.
Do not then start crying about JBTs in YOUR house, when it was OK in someone elses house.
Fucking asshole hipocrits.
Scott, reading comprehension is important. That was rather the point of the post. Gates could have made this issue what it was truly about: overzealous police. Instead, it became about racism.
