@Daniel:

You should take the few seconds to actually listen to the tape which is posted here for your convenience, with a transcript. The woman who called is clearly neither old nor aware of race.

While Gates may have legitimate feelings about racial profiling in general (I see it all the time), if it he had not been the one breaking into his property, he would not have cared about the color of the intruders skin and would have been grateful for Crowley’s response.

Obama put his foot in his mouth, and admitted as such. Hey, they all get a beer out of it – except for the concerned citizen who totally did the right thing.

Daniel, you are sooo right. Last time I heard, no one breaks into a house in broad day-light. It especially doesn’t mean anything when they are forcing entry. Everything could have been easily resolved if it was legit.

I have had to break into my own house several times. If the cops showed up, I would be grateful that my neighbors were watching over me. But obviously its racial profiling and nothing more. I agree, lets blame the old lady. I.E. Obama was wrong with his statement, so ‘we concede, everyone did what they were supposed to, it was really the old lady’s fault’. That is always the lefts way of saying ‘you’re right’… Concede to a draw and blame a third party.

Too busy to bother getting the facts, I see. I also see that your ignorance of the facts doesn’t stop you from forming an uninformed opinion.

“As you can decipher from the audiotape the woman who called Cambridge Police NEVER referred to intruders as black.”

But now that you know better, you won’t be making such a fool of yourself again, …right?

You obviously haven’t listened to the 911 tape………race was NEVER mentioned.
You and Obama should know some of the facts before you shoot yourself in the mouth.

The only person who did racial profiling in this whole thing – was the old lady who called 911.
Apparently, to her, when black people are seemingly breaking into a home in broad day-light – it MUST NOT be their own home.

Why do we give agency to people who call 911. Her observation was biased and ultimately incorrect. Yet the framework of confusion thereafter was set and spiraled out of control enough to provide the illusion that either Skip Gates or Sergeant Crowley were at fault.

Crowley did his job. Gates had a right to complain. It was the old lady who we are forgetting who made all of this mess happen. Read this: http://skipgatesconspiracy.blogspot.com/

Regardless, they are all a waste of time, foolish at best, maliciously deceitful at worst.

It is Harvard university that is racist . The street that Prof. Gates lives on is now mostly section 8 city owned units that Harvard U. sold to the city of Cambridge under duress due to pressure from “affordable housing’ groups. There are approximately 30+ units with many teenage gang-banger types who are related to or are residents across the street from Prof. Gates’ home. It is a “black” block ant the University is all too aware that there have been multiple arrests and incidents involving residents and their guests in the 16-26 Ware street locale. They put gates there on purpose instead of a white or Asian Prof. and their families. Furthermore it should be noted that President Obama more than likely at Professor Gates urging reached out to Ms. sweet to “ask” the President what he “thought” about the incident. It was an obviously White House planted question Planned out beforehand by Obama. Gates. and most probably Ma.Gov. Patrick Duval. It is what I call a “spirit trap”, A question planted to suck the spirit out of the intended subject of the press conference- govt. run health care. It was a diversionary tactic to avoid admitting the looming failure of the entire plan in question. For Obama and co. the cure was worse than the poison! Will any “news reporter” have the courage to ask if the question posed by Ms. Sweet was discussed beforehand with the White House/ Pres. Obama and Prof. gates & Ms, Sweet? I do not think so!

[...] The tape of the 911 call was released. Something I’m sure President Obama was hoping wouldn’t happen, and whose effect he wished to deflect through charm and beer diplomacy. But unless professor Gates apologizes and president Obama apologizes, the teachable moment is lost to them. And progress in race relations will be retarded, thanks to them. [...]

For those who refuse to belive gates is racist or a race pimp, I say look at this.
