Video of Gates Bashing Gingrich and Thomas surfaces (Updated)

Topics: Political News and commentaries

This video of a Henry Louis Gates rant about "White racist institutions" has surfaced from back in 04/04/96. The rant was delivered at All Souls Church, (no surprise - shades of Jeremiah Wright) in Washington D.C. Gates co-hosted the talk with Marxist black radical - Princton Professor Cornel West.

Speaking in front of a group about racism and affirmative action, Gates defames Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as well as former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and makes racially inflammatory remarks such as (Hat tip - HotAirPundit and NewsBusters):

"Without affirmative action we would have never been able to integrate racist historically white institutions in American society"

"I taught at Duke for one long painful year, I don't even like the airplane to flyover North Carolina...Because of racism I never would have been allowed to compete with white boys and white girls"

Uses the N-word.

Contract with America and Newt Gingrich "set up barriers so no more of you all could get in here"


After watching the video, and learning more about his deeply-held, racist convictions, who among you would like to have a beer with this guy?
