Henry Louis Gates


a noted scholar at harvard on african-american culture that recently got called out hard for trying to stage a racial oppression incident after being asked for id in his own home by an officer responding to a 911 burglary call. instead of just showing his id, being respectful, and moving on as most reasonable people would, he -ssumed that the officer’s default setting was “racist,” and proceeded to throw a temper tantrum in public that eventually led to his arrest. he has radical -ssociations with black militants and marxists and has made many racially inflammatory statements over the years. he also is a personal friend of barack obama and held a fundraiser for him.
cop: “good afternoon sir, how are you today!”
