In Effort To Not Be Racist, Americans Become Xenophobic

I cannot help but notice, and point out the irony of this situation. In an effort to not be seen as racists, Americans have become xenophobic! Allow me to illustrate...

In the article, White House 'Beer Summit' Becomes Something of a Brouhaha, Americans are not happy with the choice of beer chosen by the participants in the "beer summit" called together by Obama, which consists of him, Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr and Officer Crowley.

How so?

The president's plan to toss back a few cold ones with some high-profile guests at the White House has the American beer industry hopping mad.

It seems people are upset the President and friends are not drinking, American beer.

Late Wednesday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs hinted the presidential cooler will likely be stocked with what he understood to be the two guests' own personal favorites -- Red Stripe and Blue Moon.

"The president will drink Bud Light," Mr. Gibbs added.

The problem is that all three beers are products of foreign companies. Red Stripe is brewed by London-based Diageo PLC. Blue Moon is sold by a joint venture in which London-based SABMiller has a majority stake.

And Bud Light? It is made by Anheuser-Busch -- which is now known as Anseuser-Busch InBev NV after getting bought last year by a giant Belgian-Brazilian company.

Wo cares what kind of beer a guy drinks? Not everyone has the same likes and dislikes and when it comes to beers, that is every man's personal choice! There is no need to get xenophobic about it!

It gets better, look at these quotes:

Among rival brewers, the news fell flat. "We would hope they would pick a family-owned, American beer to lubricate the conversation," said Bill Manley, a spokesman for the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., a California-based brewer that happens to be family-owned.

Jim Koch, founder of Boston Beer Co., which brews Samuel Adams, decried "the foreign domination of something so basic and important to our culture as beer."

I love the use of "foreign domination," it almost sounds like a war! Lubricate conversation? Is that what they call getting a buzz now? Alcoholics and those who promote alcohol use sure are funny when you don't drink.

Genesee Brewery, Rochester, N.Y., released a statement congratulating the president for having beer at the meeting but adding: "We just hope the next time the President has a beer, he chooses an American beer, made by American workers, and an American-owned brewery like Genesee."

Make no mistake, this is xenophobia at it's finest. A clear indication that America is still not only racist, but we still dislike foreigners! What a way to make even this event look bad. Embarrassing, but what do you expect from a bunch of alcoholics? if they act this way sober, you should hear what they say when they are drunk and behind closed doors...

But this is nothing new, even President Bush had names of desserts changed, what does old Bushy have against the French?

In general, the White House strives to showcase American food, wines and traditional concoctions at official meals and parties. Sometimes, even menu items with a foreign provenance are Americanized. In the George W. Bush White House, a favorite chocolate dessert was referred to not as a French-style soufflé, but as a "chocolate freedom."

Anyhow, a man's personal decision on what type of beer he drinks is his own business, and it is a shame that even in an event trying to bring people together and quell a bit of racism, Americans show their #1 characteristic, to hate and fear that what is different than our own. Which strikes at the heart of racism and xenophobia.

You people should be ashamed.

Boston Cop Calls Gates Jungle Monkey

Well, I guess it was bound to happen. Some dumb prejudice white cop had to open his mouth and no doubt will most likely end up being fired over an email rant where he calls Professor Gates a "jungle monkey."

A Boston police officer has been suspended and could be fired for a mass e-mail in which he used a racial slur to describe black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Commissioner Edward Davis put 36-year-old Justin Barrett on administrative leave pending a termination hearing after learning of the slur.

Like him or not, whether he is a race baiter or not (he is) the man does not deserve to be called anything but a man. Referring to Gates as a "jungle monkey" will only make you look like the uneducated, dumb cop you are, Justin.

A person with knowledge of the case who was not authorized to speak publicly about the details told the Boston Herald that Barrett, a member of the National Guard, sent the e-mail to fellow Guardsmen and to The Boston Globe.

Don't you love these guys? Not authorized to speak to the public? LOL Yet, they ALWAYS do...

Barrett called Gates a "jungle monkey" in the e-mail, according to a copy posted online at MyFOXBoston.com. Officials told the Herald that Barrett admitted writing the e-mail.

If Crowley thought he couldn't get the press of his lawn, something tells me this goofball cop is going to be the focus of the story now that Gates, Obama, and Crowley are planning to get together for a beer to work things out.

I will say this though, as recovering alcoholic, who is now four years sober, it does make me think isn't there a better beverage to drink than a toxin that results in the deaths of so many Americans per year? While I have nothing against beer, I think it sends the wrong message to America. Alcohol will not fix your problems, it will only make them worse.

Gates Tapes Released

I have just listened to not only the 911 call in from the neighbor who reported the possible break-in at Henry "Whites don't understand black art" Louis Gates Jr rented home, but also that of Officer Crowley radioing back to dispatch that he is dealing with uncooperative male.

(NECN: Cambridge, Mass.) - Cambridge police have released a recording of the police transmissions after the arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Gates, a Harvard scholar, was arrested after a reported break-in at his home.

Sgt. James Crowley, the arresting officer, can be heard telling the dispatcher that a man who appears to be a resident of the home was being "uncooperative". Crowley also tells the dispatcher to "keep the cars coming."

from this article: 911 tapes from Gates incident

To my surprise, at odds with what was reported, the woman who called in to report the possible break-in in progress actually says she has no idea what color the suspects are. Asked if they are white, black, or hispanic - she says she doesn't know, and that one looked hispanic but she could not tell. This is directly at odds with what was reported in media and should be noted. I will also say, man, do these cops try and make it difficult for you to report a crime or something? I could almost sense the caller's frustration as she was only attempting to report a crime, that was actually brought to her attention by a concerned elderly lady who stopped her! She did nothing wrong and was just concerned about recent robberies in the area and was trying to report a crime.

Onto the "uncooperative" relay between Officer Crowley and dispatch...

I did not expect to hear much on the Gates audio tapes, but I surely wanted to hear them. Since the only time you get a transmission from Crowley is when he is talking into radio, you can only make out Gates in the background, but not much at all of what he is saying.

Perhaps some more audio-gurus will decipher these transmissions and spill the beans on what is happeneding. But from my point of view the tapes don't reveal that much, only the state of mind of the people involved in this incident while the crime was being reported and during the event itself.

Gates Blamed Whites in 1990 2 Live Crew Case

After having someone comment that "if all I had on Gates was a 40 year old quote" maybe I should let it go, I decided to dig a little deeper. While I sort of agree with that comment, I did however take that as a challenge to find more recent quotes that show his racism and bigotry when it comes to whites.

If you did not know, Henry Louis Gates Jr was part of the 2 Live Crew Obscenity Trial in 1990, and he testified in court, on stand, that whites simply cannot understand black art. And before we go further, let me state, what this man referred to as "art" was a rap song glorifying the sexual assault/rape a girl.

At the 2 Live Crew trial, Gates testified that the rap album which describes gleefully the raping and beating of black women was on a par with the art found in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The editorial policies of HUMAN EVENTS appropriately prevent me from sharing with you the sordid lyrics from that album, but I can tell you that when I appeared on Phil Donohue’s national television program with 2 Live Crew, one of the guests uttered just one line of the lyrics and the broadcast was immediately terminated all along the Eastern seaboard where it was airing live. This was art? Apparently the liberal network we were on didn’t think so.

from this article: Arrested Harvard Prof Has 'Stupidly' Played the Race Card His Whole Life

While I understand that these types of events occur in movies all the time, cheering it on and rapping about it are two different things. Now let's put the sexual assault nonsense aside, that has already been decided by a court to be obscene. Let's get to Gates quotes about, why this song should have been allowed...

At the trial, Gates explained to Judge Gonzalez that whites simply cannot comprehend the beauty and worth of such black art. He swore that the concerns about selling this pornographic album to adults and kids alike stemmed from white racism.

This is quoted from someone at the trial, and you can clearly see the man has been pointing the finger at whites his entire life. Not only on his Yale Application.

To this man, a rap song about rape cannot be obscene and the only reason it is considered obscene is because of white racism? Give me a break!

This guy is a career race profiteer, and he has made his entire living trying to claim that whites are racist and use that to his advantage, even in a court room! ABSURD!

You maybe had to be there at the trial to believe what you were hearing -- or maybe not. Judge Gonzalez found the race-centric testimony of Professor Gates to be utterly unbelievable and absurd, and he indicated just that in his 62-page opinion.

Even the Judge found his testimony to be ridiculous.

After the verdict, the NAACP’s Dr. Benjamin Hooks weighed in on the controversy and rebutted with one sentence everything Professor Gates has built a career upon: “2 Live Crew apparently doesn’t understand that celebrating the raping of black women is not entertainment, and it is not art.” The vast majority of the phone calls and letters I got thanking me for my efforts in getting this album declared obscene were from African American parents, and one call I shall never forget was from a teenaged black girl whose friend was raped by a gang who played the album on their boom box during the rape.

Blaming white people for some rap song about rape being obscene via race baiting? Henry Gates Jr has long been up to this game and he learned it long ago.

So, as you behold the unfolding of this controversy that now has trapped the White House, and you hear Professor Gates’ and his surrogates’ charges that white racism is why he was arrested, take this word of advice from someone who saw this academic weirdo close up: Consider the source.

All he need do is point the finger at whites and scream "racism!" to get his way, and he tried it on a cop and it back fired.

Gates Arrest Audio Tapes

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to hear the Gates Arrest Audio Tapes! Whether they exonerate the officer and make Gates look bad, or not.

Judicial Watch has put in open request for the audio tapes, here is the pdf version of Request for Gates Arrest Audio and Video Tapes

People have tried to say the tapes would have been released already if they showed gates yelling, and things of that nature. The fact is, there is a process to getting things released to the public and now that an open request has been filed, let's see what happens. We know they won't release them on a Sunday, so perhaps early this week (the pdf file states they have 10 days to comply) we may get another glimpse into the minds of both the officer and Gates at the exact time of the incident.

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has filed a Massachusetts Public Records Request with the Cambridge, MA, Police Department regarding the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates. Specifically, Judicial Watch seeks the following records:

Any audiotapes or videotapes recorded prior to, during, or after the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates on July 16, 2009.

On July 16, Sergeant James Crowley responded to a 911 phone call from a passerby reporting two men attempting to force open the door at Professor Gates' Harvard Square home. Professor Gates claims that he had just returned from a trip to China and his front door was jammed. He asked his driver to help him force it open.

According to Sergeant Crowley, after approaching the house, Professor Gates was belligerent and refused to provide identification when requested. Sergeant Crowley told the press he arrested Gates for disorderly conduct after the professor followed him outside the home "continuing [his] tirade even after being warned multiple times, probably a few more times than the average person would have gotten."

The Fraternal Order of the Police has expressed its support of Sergeant Crowley, who was previously selected to teach a course on racial profiling for a police training academy.

According to Professor Gates, Sergeant Crowley was disrespectful from the beginning, refusing to identify himself or his provide his badge number. Supporters of Professor Gates, including President Obama, suggested his arrest was racially motivated. The President, noting that he did not have all the facts, also said at a press conference that he thought the police acted "stupidly."

The disorderly conduct charges against Gates were dropped the day after the arrest.

"President Obama threw the race card on the table after the Gates arrest without having all of the facts. Uninformed, inflammatory comments on this matter by President Obama have widened racial division and undermined the rule of law. Judicial Watch seeks to help the public come to an informed opinion on the controversy," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

People should not let this incident bring out hatred or fear and racism... lets see what the tapes reveal and go from there.

Only a racist would put this on Yale Application

Professor Gates resentment towards whites has been long established. He has resented all whites with authority since his college days.

I will keep this entry short and sweet.

Only a racist would use words like this on his/her application to Yale.

"As always, whitey now sits in judgment of me, preparing to cast my fate. It is your decision either to let me blow with the wind as a nonentity or to encourage the development of self. Allow me to prove myself."

Quoted from this article" A scholar in the fray

Quotes like that on an application lead one to believe he must use some way more racist tones when talking behind closed doors. And it is no doubt that this man holds resentment to any white person who holds any authority over him. He was confronted by a white officer and rose up trying to pull rank on the officer who was simply trying to do his job.

There is no way this man is not a race baiting racist, he has been that way since his youth. Only a racist would come at "whitey" on his application to Yale University!

Boy was Henry Louis Gates Jr Wrong

When you start pulling the race card after refusing to show your ID to a police officer and begin calling him a racist for asking you to identify yourself in a home that just had police called for burglary in progress... you should really make sure the cop wasn't handpicked by black police commissioner to teach recruits how to not racial profile!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The white police sergeant accused of racial profiling after he arrested renowned black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his home was hand-picked by a black police commissioner to teach recruits about avoiding racial profiling.

Friends and fellow officers — black and white — say Sgt. James Crowley is a principled police officer and family man who is being unfairly described as racist.

"If people are looking for a guy who's abusive or arrogant, they got the wrong guy," said Andy Meyer, of Natick, who has vacationed with Crowley, coached youth sports with him and is his teammate on a men's softball team. "This is not a racist, rogue cop. This is a fine, upstanding man. And if every cop in the world were like him, it would be a better place."

Gates accused the 11-year department veteran of being an unyielding, race-baiting authoritarian after Crowley arrested and charged him with disorderly conduct last week.

Crowley confronted Gates in his home after a woman passing by summoned police for a possible burglary. The sergeant said he arrested Gates after the scholar repeatedly accused him of racism and made derogatory remarks about his mother, allegations the professor challenges. Gates has labeled Crowley a "rogue cop," demanded an apology and said he may sue the police department.

To those who have read the police report, yes, Gates even began talking about the officers mother while calling him a racist! And I am glad this officer has a past that backs up his actions of NOT BEING A RACIST.

Gates on the other hand, is a race baiter, he makes money off racism. His entire status is based on the existence of racism, so of course, every time a white man addresses him he points the finger and pulls the race card. People like Gates are bottom feeders in society and simply bring up race and racism everyday and it's all they talk about and the only agenda that keeps him employed.

Gates makes his money from racism. If he can't point the finger at whites then he isn't making money. He is on television and all he talks about is race. He is no different than Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who flock to racism and throw fuel on the fire just to sell books, dvds, and t-shirts. These race baiters are not new, but white people need to recognize them when they are spotted and never give in to their charges of racism because it is how they squeeze money out of the system and the only thing that keeps them employed.

If there is one thing that makes me sick is these "black scholars" who sit in robes and classrooms and just push their race agenda on students and actually fuel racism more than help stomp out the fires. Gates is the typical confrontational racist black whom will always feel any white man is racist towards him, because he is the racist. And don't forget to tune in to his tv shows about racism, and oh, don't forget to stay tuned for his documentaries based on racism, and it goes on and on... Gates is not against racism, if racism went away he would have to get a real job, and actually teach something educational instead of "black studies."

If racism disappeared tomorrow, Gates, Sharpton, and Reverend Jackson would all be out of a job and would start up a racism debate just to get whites and blacks arguing again... its their whole game.

President Obama Should Not Have Called Cops Stupid

While I will be the first to demand the police officers treat citizens with respect and dignity, I also believe the feelings must be mutual. With that being said, in America, when dealing with a police officer a couple things are known to be true.

1. never refuse to show a police your identification (especially if you are in a house that just had the cops called for burglary in progress)
2. never threaten a cop with words like "you dont know who you messing with" while continuously hurling charges of racism towards him as he is actually leaving your house and ending the matter"

This could have been ended fairly quickly and did not need to go down the way it did. However, I notice in most articles the writers are leaving out key components of this story. For one, witnesses that were outside the home (totalling from some accounts 7 - 10) actually made statements that back up the police in regards to how gates was acting when arrested! This is the most important piece of the story, yet to those like myself, who have read the police report, find the evidence against gates to be pretty clear cut.

He was in a home that the neighbor had reported a break-in. She claimed she saw two black males on the porch trying to break down the door. Then upon police arriving on the scene Gates refused to show his ID and became irate and began hurling insults towards the officer.

Gates could have ended this issue quickly if only he had done one single thing.

As soon as the cop asked for his ID, simply stated "Hello officer, I am Professor gates, this is my home, please allow me to get my ID and prove to you I am not entering my home illegally."

The officer would have checked his ID and moved on. But when you refuse to show your ID and the get irate and unruly, and start making phone calls telling the cop "you don't know who you messing with" and "you haven't heard the last of me" etc... you can expect to be treated a little different than the respectful law abiding citizen who addressed the officer with courteous reply and an immediate identification process.

Instead, gates was confrontational and wanted a racist even to promote his new documentary which he has quickly began promoting via the news reports. This professor should be ashamed of not only his behavior but the example he has set for those other black men who may find themselves in similar position. They too will become unruly, show no respect and most likely end up in jail... never once thinking it is their OWN BEHAVIOR that is putting them in jail.

Calling Gates “a friend,’’ and acknowledging he didn’t “know all the facts,’’ Obama said during a nationally televised press conference otherwise devoted to healthcare that he didn’t know whether race played a role in the arrest of Gates, who is black and a noted authority on race relations, by a white Cambridge police officer investigating a burglary report.

I am also amazed that Obama has claimed the cops were stupid for arresting hom. Gates and Obama are friends, this is a known fact that Obama has not denied and has stated himself. So it is no doubt that immediately, the black friend of the pres is right and the white officer is wrong.

“I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home;

he wasn't arrested for being in his home, he was arrested after continuing to follow the officer outside and berating him with accusations of racism even as he was leaving the scene! Including threatening the officer as he picked up his phone and made call to unknown persons claiming "you haven't heard the last from me." etc... this is not behavior of a professor, this is behavior with a confrontational, irrational racist black man looking for any reason to create confrontation to serve his purpose... selling his book/documentary.

Obama and gates should be ashamed of this racist behavior. Fact is, if any white man was caught in an upscale neighborhood pushing his way in a home and when asked for ID refused, he would be questioned and possibly arrested too!

Making this issue a race issue is exactly what these gates types need to promote their "blacks are victims" agenda, as i said, the professor is already making money off the event and will no doubt land an Obama interview in his upcoming documentary which I am almost ashamed to mention but feel it is my duty to point out those who profit from racism in America while trying to pretend they are not racist and simply use "black studies" as a way to promote "blacks are victims" mentality.

Gates is racist. period, and he is a loser here.
