Henry Louis Gates-Gate

The details are coming out on yesterday's arrest of Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. A statement on behalf of Gates published in The Root is shocking, clearly showing how racial profiling led to the arrest of a man entering his own home. Here's a report from New England Cable News.





UPDATE: The charges have been dropped.

If I were a successful black man and the cops came to the door of my own home assuming a break-in, I might have reacted angrily as well. And for the same reasons. White people like me have no idea what it's like to deal with the day-to-day racist shit he has to deal with.
