The Conservative Bulwark

Well, by this point, we all know the name "Henry Louis Gates, Jr.". The famed Harvard University professor has managed to thrust himself into the limelight over the last two days by accusing a Cambridge police officer of racial profiling.

Gates teaches African-American studies at Harvard. He's written many books and, I believe, made a few documentaries on the subject of racism. My gut tells me that when the police showed up the other day to check into a possible break-in to Mr. Gates' home, he immediately looked at the situation as an opportunity to advance his crackpot theories. In his eyes it was another example of white superiority and black oppression. He clearly stated that this made him think about the "vulnerability of being a black man" in America.

So, if you're trying to get into your own house, and the police show up because a concerned neighbor reports it, would you be beligerant to the point of arrest? Or would you do your best to prove its your home as quickly possible? Yeah...most sane people go out of their way to not piss off the police.

Now the Cambridge Police Dept. is considering bringing a lawsuit against Gates for defamation. I sincerely hope they crush him in court. I absolutely abhor "victim" politics. It does nothing except further cement festering negative stereotypes in our society. I keep hoping that one of these days Americans will come to realize that people like Gates, Jackson, and Sharpton are nothing more than race pimps...their sole purpose for existence is to keep continuous friction between the races in this country. God forbid, if that were to every actually fade away into history, men like these three will be rendered completely useless.

Then, of course, Barack Obama had to weigh in on the topic. Without looking at any of the facts of the case, Obama verbally chastised the police force and said they acted "stupidly". He also admitted that Gates is a personal friend of his. It's funny, yet saddening, to see the President of the United States instinctively jump to the "racial profiling" stance, without even blinking. Does Obama read anything? He's trying to shove this universal healthcare crap down our throats as quickly as possible...even though he admits he's not familiar with the House bill. BUT WE MUST PASS THIS NOW! Now he jumps right into the fray on this 'racial' incident and automatically assumes that Whitey is once again trying to keep poor, poor Dr. Gates down. Acquiring the facts first never once entered his head.

So far, police unions across the nation, the Cambridge Police Dept., and many more are standing behind Officer Crowley. As this plays out, I'm pretty sure that more evidence will be revealed that shows that the police officer handled the situation properly. After that, I'll be waiting with baited breath for an apology from the White House.
