The Honorable professor of Afrikan Studies at the esteemed college Harvard University ran into some rough business with a policeman in Cambridge the other day.
He was coming home from China when he inserted his key into the hole and found out he couldnt get it unlocked (he later said that his key had a tendency to jam).
So he went around the back to see if he could get in that way and when he was trying to find an alternative way to get into his place one of his neighbors (who were probably white because he lives in a predominantely white neighborhood) called the cops because they didnt know who he was.
So the white police officer comes to his house after he broke in and asked him to show him ID stating that he was who he said he was.
Gates shows the guy his Masaachusets drivers liscence and his Harvard University ID.
The police officer isnt satisfied so he goes outside and calls Harvard (because Gates could be a con artist).
Gates gets upset and starts saying things like "why are you doing this? is it because im a black man in america?"
LOL!
No its because you a NIGGA!
Anyway, Gates gets so irate that he fusses and fusses until the police officer locks him up and calls it a day.
See Gates thought that he was exceptional because he was a Harvard professor.
He thought that he could get away with slick talking the police (like middle and upper class whites do all the time) and still get away with it.
He was wrong.
I remember seeing a documentary by Gates on the poor and the middle to upper class Blacks and how these 2 classes are so different from one another.
On a certain scene where a black man from the inner city was talking about the plights that he went through in his inner ciity community, Gates said, "this guy seems like an alien to me."
implying that he was nothing like that guy.
Well the white officer treated him as if he was that kind of a guy that night.
And then on another scene of the same documentary Gates says he heas more in common with his white colleagues than with black men in the inner city.
The police officer saw you and the brothers in the inner city as one and the same.
So when are we going to wake up?
No matter whether you slumming in the hood, or living it up in your condo.
Shoping at the local swap meet, or patronizing some high priced italian designer in Palm Beach.
You can be driving a 2009 380 Mercedes Benz or diving a 1981 Hatchback,
YOU STILL A NIGGA, NIGGA!
And eventually you will run into the right cracker who will bring that super inflated ego down to reality.
Peace!

lol @ the title
I can dig it!
I really hate the fact that so many of our people have convinced themselves that we are on a level playing field when we are sooooo not!
I will be happy when we do wake up and start doing for self and building our own communitues.
If he was awake then perhaps he would live in a neighborhood with HIS people and the damn neighbor would have known who the hell he was. Sad to say that I am happy it happened, perhaps it will help show him who he is. I do not know much about the man, but based on what you say about that documentary, he sounds like a uncle tome or a house negro!!!!
Peace
that was pretty funny wasnt it
but he is one in the eyes of white men
@sunshine... i have a song to the side called "everybody plays the fool"
he says
"falling in love is such an easy thing to do"
"but there is no guarantee that the one you love is going to love you"
Gates and so many other negro's like gates has fallen head over heels for their former masters to the point that they would side with them to defeat, degrade and humiliate their own
but whites dont love these negros
they just pretend to love them so that they can use negro's to conquer and control other black people for them
gates is no dummy though
he knows this
i guess he just aquiesces to these people because it's a lot easier than going out there and starting your own means of taking care of yourself
i dont thnk he is a complete uncle tom
he's just intellectually lazy
so true. many times people think they are exempt from reality of being black or minority because they have come up and "made it" no matter how you try to color it you still black and will always be black
