Gates highlights
There have been so many entries on Gatesgate that readers may feel overwhelmed. All of it is worth reading, but if you don’t have the time or inclination to do so, I particularly recommend these:
- Henry Louis Gates, confirmer of racial stereotypes [My first post on Gates, based on Officer Crowley’s arrest report, posted July 20, before the arrest report was removed from the Boston.com site on the morning of July 21. See also Officer Figueroa’s arrest report.]
- The black tactic to create “racist police” incidents, which whites keep falling for and empowering]
- Comments on Gates [Lists all entries from the first two days of Gatesgate
- Gates’s message to America [Gates sees a police officer at his door, and, because the officer is white, instantly knows that he, Gates, is in grave danger, justifying his outrageous behavior.]
- Gates’s version of the event [His long interview at The Root, with my commentary]
- Photographic proof that Gates is lying [Gates has said that he had a bronchial infection and didn’t and couldn’t raise his voice. The photo, which VFR has had lightened to make Gates’s features easier to see, shows him screaming his head off as the police arrest him.]
