Here’s a perspective on the Henry Louis Gates/ Cambridge Police debacle that doesn’t get much play.
The only fact I’m sure of in the case is that a woman described as a neighbor of Gates phoned the police when she saw what appeared to be someone breaking into Gates’ house.
Irrespective of race, what does this tell you about Gates and his social relations?
It tells me, here’s a guy who must be so isolated in his daily life that he is unrecognizable to people who live on his block.
It also tells me that you don’t have to possess a brain with powers of reason or common sense to be a Harvard professor.
If I returned from an overseas trip and discovered that I didn’t have house keys, breaking into the house would not be an option because it would set the alarm off.
HELLO?
Who goes overseas and doesn’t set their alarm?
If any one on my block saw me breaking into my house they would immediately recognize the fact that I was locked out. Rather than call the police they would assist me to gain entry.
HELLO?
Who lives on a block where the other residents don’t know who you are?
If I discovered that I was locked out in any circumstance, there are two families on my block that have keys to my house.
HELLO?
Who is so incapable of forming social bonds that they don’t have someone at least a phone call away they can trust with the keys to their house?
And finally who among us doesn’t have the sense, for their own good, to subvert their ego to some one in a position of authority?
Henry Gates, you goat faced old fool, take your head out of your ass long enough to meet your neighbors and also take the following lesson from Chris Rock.
“It’s a wonderful day in the nay-bor-hood…”
Post-racial president, my ass.
Looks like old ghetto habits, like B & E, die hard. Gates was just keeping his skills sharp.
And Obama is not an African-American. He’s an African-African.
Obammy probably wrote the “hate whitey” rants and sermons given by Rev. Wright instead of the other way around. Anybody ever think of that?
But now, instead of “Bush did it!” it’s “Obama did it!”
You REALLY think the teleprompter in chief can write a speech? Puh-lease!!
Just as an aside, on the fake birth certificate circulating, Snobama’s father’s race was listed as African. I believe the practice at the time was to list race as “Negro”.
I usually just read this blog to have a good laugh at Lance’s expense, but I have to admit, for the first time ever, I completely agree with something posted here. Well done.

Well isn’t that special?
Your approval just made my fucking day.
This is the first post you ever agreed with?
Now I can laugh at your expense.
Me too. Ha ha ha ha ha
But you read this blog because its good! Let’s be honest here. Nobody reads blogs they hate except left-wing liberal hack reporters. You wanna read a bad blog? Try HuffPo or dKos.
And since you’re “comment blacklisted” here at TMQ, you owe LOB a blow job for approving your comment to be viewed. I’d have deleted your bullshit again based on IP address, as I always do, without even reading it.
