I disagree with a lot Sally Quinn said. First, Crowely acted appropriately arresting Gates. A police officer doesn't have the option of walking away when someone is angrily acting irrational in a tantrum mode. Also when it comes to race and religious differences total candor doesn't necessarily help and thinking with your head is usually better than communicating negative gut feelings if you are trying to reach a consensus.

What nobody will say publicly, for fear of being called a racist, is that he is notorious

My sister-in-law was telling me about a black manager she knew that work worked with in the Fed gov't. His reputation was notorious and he was getting away with things no one should be doing.

Eventually some women in foreign countries (where he was assigned) told the Feds that he had drugged them and raped them. The FBI did a search of his house and found that he had videotaped the rapes. He is now awaiting trial. The evidence against him is overwhelming.

The government agency he worked in was doing a background check after his arrest and found that many of his coworkers and subordinates had been a victim of his arrogant behaviour. They normally would have reported him to superiors, but did not. The reason they did not report him is that he was black and were afraid of being labelled racists.

What is worse is that some notorious blacks understand that fear and that causes their behaviour to worsen and more be more arrogant. Even worse, is that will diminish the reputation of blacks.

When Larry Summers was pushed out as President of Harvard (for asking a hypothetical question), what side was Gates on? Was he vocal about it?
