Had Henry Louis Gates Jr Acted Like a Gentleman, We Wouldn't be in this Mess



We're halfway through the summer of 2009 and thus far, the top news stories of the season have been the Iranian elections, Michael Jackson's death, and the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. by a crooked, racist police force in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

That last story is an issue of national obsession - perfectly timed with the second installment of CNN's pandering "Black in America" series, as it seems the media is hell bent on reminding blacks and other people of color that we still have a noose around our necks. And that point couldn't be more perfectly illustrated than the visual of a slight, older and bespectacled African American male handcuffed at the entrance to his own home.

So here's the story: On July 16 Professor Gates was trying to enter his front door, had trouble with the lock, then asked the driver of his cab to help him, they pushed in the door, all while a neighbor close by saw the action and thought there was a robbery in progress.

Cops were dispatched, Gates refused to cooperate, responding to the authorities who asked to speak to him "I'll speak with your mama outside." And soon enough the man was in handcuffs.

In the meantime, the 911 caller has had to step into the fray to say that at no time did she insinuate that the men at Gates' home were black.

Today, Gates and the cop who arrested him will have beer with President Obama to talk candidly about race.
***

And that's where you lose me. I understand that law enforcement hasn't always been fair with people of color - I'll admit: I'm not a fan of cops and I generally distrust them - but in the few instances when I've been confronted by them, I tend to cooperate, as I think that if you have nothing to hide you might as well bite the bullet and let the cops do what they must (these instances have involved my alleged speeding through Cape Cod or the backroads of New Jersey). But Gates was apparently belligerent from the start - and yeah, it's annoying that the cops show up at your house for no reason, but a neighbor did see someone from afar busting in a door - this could all have been resolved in under ten minutes. But Gates, as we say in Spanish, "se puso guapo," which means he got cocky, and the cops had to show the man who was boss.

Really, this whole situation is Gates' fault. As a pre-eminent scholar on issues black, he ought to be ashamed of himself for causing all of this trouble - for not setting a proper example on how educated and accomplished people of color should deal with unwanted attention from the cops. Had he simply shown the cops his ID and explained his situation - had he been a gentleman about the whole thing - none of this would have happened. And I resent this weak and unnecessary debate on race because it propagates the thinking in disadvantaged communities of color that the cops and the white man are ultimately out to get them. People of color don't need to hear this, kids in the projects don't need any more ammunition against the cops - this whole issue only exacerbates tensions that exist between minorities and the police. We now find the debate on race muddled by the stubborn and impertinent actions of someone who, ok I'll say it - is probably an uppity negro. Gates gets to have beer with the President tonight while some cocky teenager is going to mouth off at the cops and will likely get tazed or shot. Nice going, Professor.

Acting like a gentleman is highly recommended when you are breaking the law (as in speeding) but when cops show up on your doorstep, accusing you of breaking and entering in your own home, your surprise alone is going to undoubedtly result in a little resistance or hostility. I'm not convinced that this is a racial incident at all. And I think the media has made much too big a deal out of this. However, this man did not have to be handcuffed and arrested. What you are seeing here is an instance of police over exerting their authority to prove that they can. "I'm sorry to have bothered you, sir," instead of handcuffs would have ended this situation...when it should have been ended.

Greeting for the day!!

I am new to this site. Loads of people have contributed so many good things here. I would also like to add up some thing for this community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you want to know how to lose 10 pounds in a week, you are probably not seeing for a common dieting and work out plan. You can lose weight with a regular diet and exercise plan, Still this requires a lot of time doing intense cardio workouts and sticking to a strict diet. Here I will draft the perfect steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a calendar week.

1. Keep Distance from all deep-fried foods for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of grapefruit with breakfast every day. (this speeds up up your metabolism)
3. Consume average portions (stop eating when you are full)
4. Instead of eating 3 large a meals a day, take 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Aviod eating after 9 P.M.. When you eat that late your body does not burn off the calories.
6. Have a proper sleep everyday. Not having adequate sleep has been proven to be a leading factor to the body putting up excess fat.
7. Use a body/colon clean for the 7 days. This will get rid of needless weight stored close to the stomach area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that cause you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I suggest you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those people who need to burn fat quickly, avoid intoxicant.
10[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url] A low GI diet is an outstanding method of burning weight quickly.

Tips on How to meet Ladies on the Shopping mall

If you were a single guy and aren't the most reliable at acquiring a good deal less meeting girls and are questioning somewhere you may go to discover and connect a lady, then these ten reasonable suggestions on how to satisfy a girlfriend along at the local mall, really should appear in mighty handy.

1 - Go to the food court. Think it or not, the meals court could be the absolute most desirable area while in the mall to satisfy a chick. Here's what you do. Pick a foods position and get in line for your meal. Whilst you're in line, search around the area in which every person is seated and eating. Appearance for the gal seated alone, or even two women sitting together. When you have your meal in hand, walk more than to where she or they can indeed be seated and inquire if you are able to join them. If you're sincere and straightforward with them, your probabilities are pretty excellent.

2- Do some thinking. In advance of you even take into account planning on the mall to satisfy a girl, sit oneself down and do some major contemplating. Check out how you would possibly interact with a lady and what you would possibly say to her if you will be productive. Look at which parts to the local mall you'll go to. Also, you're planning to really need to obtain one thing even though there, what do you need? Last but not least, mull over what meeting a female in a public site entails. Undoubtedly you'll be required to look for a wedding ring before speaking with a female, and you are going to ought to think of if it's wiser to speak into a female alone or one who is with other people.

As in, you'll really have to inform on your own to become sensible and do not have a shot at to meet ladies which have been considerably younger or older than you may be, or that look and feel out of your respective league.



3 - Ask for guidance. Once you're as a final point along at the mall, just one within the approaches to fulfill ladies is by asking them for guide. Women know that guys have no plan what they are engaging in once they are shopping, so asking for assist won't seem this kind of a ridiculous suggestion. Request support in picking out a jacket for yourself for instance. Executing so let's the woman know that you simply are single. If she agrees to help you, question her other questions as you grab totally different jackets to you could try on.

I noticed you guys had been talking about high heels and I wanted to share something with you that you may be interested in...

A little over 2 years ago, my husband and I got married in Los Angeles, California. Unfortunately, the day of our wedding was spoiled with rain. We were having the wedding out on the grass and believe it or not, I was wearing high heeled shoes! They had been ruined by the end on the day :(

Even though this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with my shoes, it actually led my sister in law to create a product which is just awesome! It is already been featured on TV shows like the Girls of the Playboy Mansion, and also the show Kendra.

Heels Above will assist you protect your expensive heels from sinking in mud, slipping in cracks, and walking on sand and gravel. It's a new merchandise, and I thought I'd share it with all of you.

They are taking orders now. It is possible to order one pair, or a few dozen for your big wedding day.

I hope you guys like it... If you have any questions, feel free to drop them an email on their site:

You сould ρeek at Υahoο's front page and watch how they create post titles to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a pic or two to get readers excited about everything've got to sаy.
Just my opinion, it might bring your blοg a little
