Levavi: “Your comfortable assumption that obsequiousness rather than collegiality is the fashion in academia is at least as presumptuous and far less rooted in fact than Dr. Gates assumption that cops are racist.” While eloquently stated, profoundly irrelevant defense of Gates. Gates is certainly bowed to because he is one of the few blacks a university can legitimately hire on affirmative action models. He teaches Black Studies which should tell you something of his scholarly competence.
Your second paragraph lets us all know that despite the eloquence you use in writing, you are nothing more than a liberal hack. To make sweeping charaterizations of the police because you had a run in for doing something wrong is again profoundly irrelevant to the defense of Gates.
This comment is especially crude: “Outrageous, brutal and downright murderous behavior by policemen has poured gasoline on everyday racial tensions and touched off riots in this country again and again. The thin blue line is an unnecesarily high tension, high voltage wire for which our society pays a huge price.” I presume you are referring to black criminals-King, and a few other isolated incidents being apprehended by the police. Okay, so your intimation is for the police not to arrest black criminals? Black criminals by and large all try to escape capture and resist arrest so police use force to get their acquiesence. Again to blame race relations on police instead of black instigators belies you agenda.
Now this comment really is off the hook: “There is one ethnic minority among whites in this country that has historically demonstrated greater viciousness toward black people than any other. That white minority has dominated urban police forces to the near exclusion of all others, especially in the northeast, since the nineteenth century.” Talk about racist ideas-you exhibit the cream rising to the top. I guess the Black Panthers, and NBP are simply a community organization that just happens to have killed police officers-for what, fun??? Just exactly what white minority are you referring to: Irish, Italians-oh that is pretty racist of you!! I bet you are from another “poor pathetic white minority”-Jew-who sees things “colored” in black tinted glasses.
If it weren’t for those police officers you so hate and denigrate, Jews would not be so cocky walking the streets of NY and other major urban centers because the same people Jews defend would certainly target you more for crime.
And for the Shadow, off topic that you are on the only thing that has been shown regarding Obama’s birth is a Certificate of Live Birth-NOT a birth certificate.
