“Being A Black Male – 101” Don’t Argue With the Police
On Thursday July 16, 2009 after returning from a trip to China, Harvard University scholar Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. had difficulty opening the front door of the home he leases from Harvard. After he and his driver struggled with the front door Dr. Gates gained entry through the back door of the home, shut off the alarm, opened the front door, and the driver left.
According to Cambridge Police Department Incident Report #9005127, a neighbor called the police and reported a possible breaking and entering at the residence. The woman “…observed what appeared to be two black males with backpacks on the porch…” Her suspicions were aroused when, “…she observed one of the men wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry.” The uniformed police officer went to the front door, saw Dr. Gates standing in the foyer and asked him to step out onto the porch. Dr. Gates refused.

This is the typical “Obama Answer” to the Dr. Gates situation. I think it’s deliberately shared here to “Divide and Conquer” from the inside. What the Gates case proves is “In America, you are innocent until proven guilty…unless you are Black.” No amount of education matters when you are dealing with bias. No Black man in his right mind can argue the facts. Some would love to put themselves in position to get paid as the “Overseer.” Pres. Obama ran away from race and laughed as he was confronted with “Gorilla Glue” at the NAACP. We need to talk openly. This isn’t an open conversation now is it?
