A recent New York Post story brought up a point about the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. that few in the Old Media have paid much attention to. Apparently, Gates has since the arrest announced he is in the early stages of involvement in a PBS TV series on civil rights in America. It is odd that this single fact has not been a focus of much discussion.
After all, if Gates is about to start a TV show about civil rights, what better way to punch up that participation than to "suddenly" get mixed up in a national civil rights "abuse" case? What better way to highlight America's civil rights problem than to become a nationally known victim of so-called racism?
Why is no one asking how long Gates has been in the planning stages of this TV show? Was he planning it since before the arrest? It all leads one to wonder if Gates saw an opportunity to gin up interest in his TV appearance by becoming a victim? Instead of experiencing any actual racial tension, did Gates invent his own ready-made, sensational incident to turn his scholarly civil rights discussion into the quintessential TV reality show extravaganza? Was all this just a TV stunt in Gates' mind? Was it mere opportunism?
This all seems like a legitimate line of questioning to me. I wonder why the Old Media has not pursued the question?
The New York Post quotes Gates as having said, "My unfortunate experience will only have a larger meaning if we can all use this to diminish racial profiling . . . I look forward to studying the history of racial profiling in a new documentary for PBS."
Further, if this had been an incident involving a conservative participating in a TV show, wouldn't the media go ga-ga over the possibility that his victimhood was merely a staged stunt for TV? What if, for instance, a conservative involved in a documentary about gun rights was to be arrested over his possession of a gun? Would the media claim that the arrest made such a conservative a victim, or would the media find itself claiming that the conservative was just cynically trying to gin up interest in his TV appearance?
In fact, a conservative TV personality is almost daily accused of faking it for TV. Glenn Beck is ridiculed as a sensationalist and one about to suffer a "nervous breakdown" every time he gets worked up on TV. The left constantly questions his motives wondering if he is just making a show of it, doubting that he really cares as deeply about the issues as he appears to.
Yet, there isn't a single voice questioning Gates' TV connected motives here. I wonder why that is?

Surely...
July 26, 2009 - 10:23 ET by heldmyw...You're not questioning the honesty and veracity of a liberal Harvard professor?
Why, the very thought that he might be a cynical, manipulative, race-baiting clown, transparently trying to feather his own nest of prejudice and victimhood with a deliberate, completely fake slam on law enforcement professionals boggles the mind!

July 26, 2009 - 12:18 ET by motherbeltI could be wrong, but I thought in the original story here, Gates said that this had given him an idea to do a documentary on diparate treatment by race, or something like that. Maybe one of you guys could find it in the original posting on this...
Hucksterism knows no shame
July 26, 2009 - 10:34 ET by Scout Finch"Skip" Gates is in the same league with Al Sharpton and all the other flim-flam self-promoting hucksters who use race baiting and white guilt to line their deep pockets.
And I wish Gates and Obama would stop using this incident as a "teaching moment" for us 'white racists'. What patronizing condescention. I hope Crowley refuses the beer with those two clowns. They'll only use him to promote their "teaching moment". Errgghh.
Patronizing. You know what
July 26, 2009 - 14:55 ET by MazziPatronizing. You know what was patronizing? That Obama said Crowley (the arresting officer ) has "a fine track record on racial sensitivity."
Am I the only one who reads whole heap of racism in this concept? It's pretty clear that we whites are always going to be seen as by some as racists until and unless we prove ourselves differently (ie: have a "fine track record".)
Now, imagine if that was reversed. Imagine someone applying a negative attribute to blacks, until and unless they proved differently. Can you picture the outrage?
I think Gates and Obeyme picked on the wrong cop this time. It is hilarious that this particular officer A) happens to be an accredited non-racist, and B) refuses to back down about his procedural integrity.
It's called karma, kiddos! And with any luck, this is just the beginning.

Re the tapes
July 26, 2009 - 11:15 ET by slickwillie2001Unfortunately I don't believe the tapes will ever come out. Gates cannot afford the release of the tapes, as he will be disgraced and revealed as a liar. He will make a deal with the Police Department and the City of Cambridge to not sue for whatever, in exchange for deep-sixing the tapes. The police and the city will agree in order to avoid an ugly trial. With an OJ-style jury, who knows what the outcome of a trial could be.
The wild card is FOIA. The tapes are public property as far as I know, as the 911 tapes are. If someone sues to have them released, they might succeed.
I agree, those tapes will
July 26, 2009 - 18:27 ET by ckc1227I agree, those tapes will never come out. He's friends with the governor, friends with the president, and who knows who else. The same connection that got the charges dropped will also get the tapes to somehow "disappear".

The first time I saw the arrest on the tube ..i said to my friend: something is not right it just does not make any sense could this be a set up?
Confused...
July 26, 2009 - 13:41 ET by beauxdogDear Acadia:
No disrespect or sarcasm intended, but in my lexicon, "hateful group without scruples" is one of the basic definitions of "liberal".
"Left" and "Far Left" are also basic definitions of "liberal".
When I was very young (I am 51 now), I considered myself "liberal" because I believed in equal pay for equal work, equal opportunity and that racism was wrong. I found out as an adult, I was really a conservative and those beliefs I held were in fact, main stream conservative. I had let the MSM convince me I was "liberal" through their bias and misrepresentation of conservatism.
Maybe you have mislabeled yourself as well?
Thank you.

A-POX! on Gates & Obama...
July 26, 2009 - 11:44 ET by AMR1960Oh yeah...Now Gates wants to move-on after the reception He & Obama got when they BOTH "Doubled Down" on the "Race Card."
Everything is a "Teaching Moment" for putzes like Gates & Obama. To
Hell with these Racists...(yes the Both of them!) Time & Time again
when angered or cornered by their OWN bad behavior it's "BLAME WHITEY"
time, I'm sick of it! As a minority myself; I understand racism still
exists, and yet the Human Being in me finds it debased & wretched
that these two elites of privilege; My President and his "Close
Personal Friend", are so consumed by their embedded racism that their
unintended "Teaching Moment" was one that showcased their respective
self-absorbed natures.
I and my children can learn nothing positive from the likes of these two...

Cash for Clunkers = Gimick
July 26, 2009 - 16:28 ET by Kingfish17Cash for Clunkers is a gimick that will put more money into car dealerships and car companies, not the private citizen. Cash for Clunkers pays you $3,500 or $4,500 if you bring in a "gas guzzler" and trade it in for a new car that gets considerably better gas mileage. As long as you can drive the car in, you get the credit.
Sounds like a good deal, huh? But as anyone who has ever bought a brand new car, with no trade in vs. a trade in, can tell you, here is how it always goes down:
New Car List Price: $27,000 If you have no trade in and you're not a dope, you buy the car for $22,000 or less.
New Car List Price: $27,000 with a POS that you're trading in. "Tell you what I'm going to do for you little lady. I'll give you $4,000 for that old POS car you're driving and we'll cut a deal for $23,000 right now!"

And thats why you make the deal before the trade in. I never trade mine in because they are by that time used up; 200K miles or more with plenty of problems. I buy about every 10 years.
Make the deal and then bring up the trade, if they balk then I walk.

July 26, 2009 - 12:22 ET by AZTech2020Don'tcha think that maybe the "whole thing" was a set-up, all the way back to the 911 call? Why not set it up from the very bottom line? Too bad for Gates that the responding officer was a anti-profiling expert instead of a relative rookie, and wouldn't let Gates get the upper hand. Also how convenient that His Holiness, "The One", just happened to have a press conference that night. Hmmmmmm.......
Conspiracy....I think not.
July 26, 2009 - 12:30 ET by neighbAs a card-carrying (say it PROUD!) member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, I'm predicting that this ENTIRE charade was staged.
Skippy G told his neighbor, in advance, that he was going to "feign" a break-in at his house. The neighbor was to call the police, report a burglary and then, like George Carlin, "Get out of the way, and have a Dr. Pepper".
The police could then show up to investigate and Skip-to-my-Lou would have his, "teachable moment" where he could accuse another white cop of losing his cool, usurping his authority and of course that crutch all minorities lean on..."racial insensitivity".
(The "conspiracy" will become "fact" some years from now when--through the FOIA--the taped Skype conversation between Oblahma and Skipper is released in which the Bamster is overheard saying, "Make sure you use that, 'teaching moment' thang. ACORN really liked that when I was tellin'em 'bout our plan.")
Lucky timing or extreme cunning?
July 26, 2009 - 12:35 ET by StarAZI wondered why a "neighbor" making the 911 call would not know this guy--her neighbor. Then someone said she was a passer-by. Still, I think it's a stretch to say this was staged...Even I can't go that far.
I am not thinking it was
July 26, 2009 - 15:09 ET by MazziI am not thinking it was staged. I think that Gates pulled a carpe diem. Even to be a bogus academic (African American Studies? ROFL) at Harvard requires a certain amount of gray matter.
I suspect that this situation unfolded in front of him and he realized in an instant that he could portray himself as a minority victim of the white sytstem. Then again, it was probably not a deep stretch for him to come up with this. I get the feeling that this concept lives pretty close to the top of his thought process.
Just like the bottom feeders (ACORN, Sharpton, Jacksaon, et.al.) there is acertain mentality about them. Perhaps Booker T. Washington put it best when he said:
“There is a class of colored people who make a business of
keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro
race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make
a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled
habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want
sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not
want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want
to lose their jobs.”

What really bothers me
July 26, 2009 - 13:07 ET by Chris NormanWhat really bothers me about this White House beer summit is the fact that Gate's says he will use this to "open up a dialogue' between minorities and police. What he means is that he will try to force police to become even more tied down with procedures when dealing with blacks and other minorities - and make a name for himself along with money while doing it. In other words, a new Al Sharpton - like we needed another. This incident was not about race until Gates and Obama tried to make it so. This incident was about a citizan who refused to obey an officers reasonable request to provide ID. A request designed to protect the same guy's property. A request that almost anyone else would have cooperatively obeyed.

I'd rather sit through a class with Joe Biden than this guy-at least Joe would be amusing.
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).
Simple as that...
July 26, 2009 - 13:28 ET by acumenI think all this comes down to is some guy returning home after a long trip and his expectations are shattered.
The guy has just returned from a 12+ hour flight from China and simply wants to get in his house and unwind.
God only knows what happened during the trip and the old guy is feeling the fatigue of his long journey.
Then the guy finally makes it to his door and becomes increasingly angry because he can't find his keys.
The guy also gets embarrassed because this is happening in front of his driver that was helping him with his bags.
Adding insult to fatigue, anger and embarrament, the returning internationally reknowned Hahvard instructor is reduced to some shmuck that can't find his keys and has to break into his own home. He is humiliated.
The cops show up which only adds a hassle to the guy's fatigue, anger, embarassment and humiliation. Now the guy is faced with proving to the cops he has a right to be there. This becomes his coup de grace and the guy goes ballistic.
The guy takes his frustration out on the cops screaming racism, talking about the cops mother, etc, etc,....it is the fault of anything or everything but admitting the simple truth - he is at fault for causing all of his fatigue, anger, embarrassment, humiliation and hassle.
Which brings us to the fixer-in-chief who proceeds to fix this problem the same way he has "fixed" the economy, unemployment, Guantanamo Bay, relations with America's allies, etc, etc. You know, all those other "fixes" the media is silent on as well because the fixer-in-chief's cure was worse than the problem.....just like with Gates.
The lesson? The next time we want the establishment media to drop coverage on a story, we need to get the fixer-in-chief to offer his take on the situation. Hey Obama, could you please comment on Palin's problems?

Re Professor
July 26, 2009 - 21:14 ET by slickwillie2001I'm not sure his title is 'Professsor'; he only has a Bachelor's Degree. He started law school after his Bachelor's degree and either changed his mind or flunked out, don't know which it is. With only a Bachelor's degree I don't think you can have the title 'Professor' or even 'Associate Professor', but who knows, maybe Affirmative Action works for titles as well.
Edited: It appears that he does have an MA and a PhD, both from Cambridge, English Literature. Undergrad BA History, Yale. He did spend a month at Yale Law School before dropping out.

So is that why Harvard had sent over their maintenance department to fix the door that had been damaged during a break in attempt earlier that week?

The Truth.
July 27, 2009 - 12:09 ET by Airforce_5_OI could find anything in a conspiratorial way if my mind is made up it is there. Example: 9/11 Truthers (and no I am not going to discuss that here!). If you narrow your scope to a predominantly Black area to do your study you will find a majority of blacks are pulled over. Now if you look at a predominantly white area and see a majority of blacks are being pulled over then you might have something.
Profiling (not racial profiling) is a part of police work. If something seems out of place then you investigate it. If it turns out to be nothing then no harm done but let’s be clear. There was a call to police of a possible break-in in an area know for this activity. The police responded and found someone in the home and didn't know if that person lives there or not (AND I DON'T Care how many freaking pictures he has got on the wall of himself either, the last thing I was observing as a police officer in a home for any call was their pictures).
