What part am I constructing? The non-sticking door argument? That's making a point...if Crowley had acted like the Milwaukee officers had, and just took Gates at his word that he lived there...that would have been one thing...but if that is how Crowley is SUPPOSE to act when confronting a "black" man 'cause that's how the "black" man wants to be treated...it ain't going to happen...'cause then, if Gates wasn't the man in the house but a different "black" man and when Gates FINALLY gets home, sees his place broken into...again...and calls and finds out out that cops had already been there and did nothing other than chat with the guy...then Gates would be bent a different direction...
You can't have your academic cake and eat it too...
It still gets back to the point that Crowley acted in a proper manner...
Gates acted in a belligerant manner...
Gates got treated like EVERY OTHER PERSON WITH A FAT MOUTH...PROPERLY...
"Black" community of fat mouths shot theirs off...
The one guy that shouldn't have said anything got baited by an idiotic press corps and opens mouth and inserts foot...
A local poli-wonk decided to throw his penny's worth of idiocy on the pile...
Now, three people need to apologize for being idiots, sit down and shut up...
And one person, representing all others of his kind, needs to accept the apologies and give the press the "cold shoulder" on the situation...
The story should die an appropriate death...
