I hope they&#8217;ll soon convene at the White House for that beer Sgt. Crowley recommended and patch up the whole mess. Advice to Professor Gates: refrain from acting on your offer to &#8220;educate&#8221; Sgt. Crowley about the history of racism in America: the sort of patronizing grievance mongering that works with Harvard students won&#8217;t go down well with a forthright, no-nonsense chap like Sgt. Crowley. (How do I know? Watch this interview and then ask yourself how well Sgt. Crowley would take to Prof. Gates&#8217;s efforts to &#8220;educate&#8221; him.)]]>Sat, 25 Jul 2009 08:00:54 -0400<![CDATA[Roger Kimball]]>https://pjmedia.com/roger-kimball/2009/07/25/calibrating-your-equivocation-n115936
