So what if he is racist? Blacks can't be racist? I'd point out, the
only reason Gates became a topic of conversation is because he is
black. White men, mouthing off to cops, get arrested daily. It doesn't
make for a national topic of conversation, but that's not racism, is
it?
Do the arrested white men immediately claim racial profiling and
threaten to sue?
That's what made this a "racist" issue .... until some people woke up.

Is that the issue? So Gates is an asshole, so what? The world is full
of them. The only thing that made this a national topic, he's a black
asshole.


Maybe he is an asshole, and maybe not.
