Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. linked to radical black, communist activists
Topics: Political News and commentariesNot only has Henry Louis Gates Jr., the Harvard
professor at the center of the current national race controversy, recruited radical black activists to his university department, he is a prominent supporter of reparations for the descendants of slaves and has immortalized a communist and socialist activist.
And, as one might expect - given Obama's criticism of the Cambridge police, has even held a political fundraiser for President Obama, something that President Obama conveniently failed to mention at two different press conferences in which he had the opportunity to do so.
Yet, the ties between Gates and Obama go even deeper down. It turns out that the lawyer representing Gates was a mentor of both Barack and Michelle Obama and served on the president's black advisory council, and is closely linked to radical black activism.
So let no one say that the Harvard professor at the center of the current national race controversy is not inclined to at least "think like a racist," and be prone to playing the victim card. In other words, the only racial profiling being done at the time of the incident was on the part of the professor playing the race card. After all, there are clearly as many, if not more, Black and Latino racists - as their are Whites that are racists. Unfortunately, it cuts both ways, and having the President of the United States fuel the controversy by himself acting like Henry Gates, Jr., doesn't help matters. Although I first believed that this situation was more about elitism than race, I no longer believe that is the case. The more I learn about Gates and the ties between Gates and Obama, the more "racial" this appears to be.
Related: It seems that Barack Obama never gets far from his Alinsky training (Saul Alinsky - Rules for Radicals), and in saying the Cambridge Police Dept. "acted stupidly," he we using Saul Alinsky's Rule No. 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions."
