Sigh: Another Reason I Do No Support Universities

The simple intellectual crap that is being taught in the Universities is amazing. However, I have seen it most of my life. This Gates guy is no genius, no heavy thinker. Just a hater living on the pains of the past. People like him will NEVER let the problems of the past go. Ever. They make money out of it, they get power from it. Money and power... yes, that is something that crosses all boundaries. Even racial ones.

Question:
Women's Groups; If the man of the house is screaming for the cops to get out of the house, everything is alright... is that alright with you?
Children's Advocates; The man of the house tells the cops and the social workers that everything is fine... get the hell out. They should leave?
Do you really think it would make any difference what color the skin was of the 'man of the house'?
What if a white man had told a black police officer to get out of his house, everything was fine and after all, he knew what "you people" do and think? That OK with you too?

Or is it just because the guy teaches at Harvard that he should get a pass? Would a white professor yelling racial stereotypes at a black police officer cool now... cause, you know, he is a Harvard professor?

Of course not.

Patterico’s Pontifications » The Officer Didn’t Stereotype Henry Louis Gates — Henry Louis Gates Stereotyped the Officer: "

And in apologizing for Gates, black firebrands and white liberals patronizingly excuse techniques of stereotyping that they would condemn in a racist.

Form an image of a racist in your mind: someone who watches a TV report about a crime committed by a black person, and says: “I’m not surprised. That’s how black people are: they’re all criminals.” Is this racist attitude justified if the racist says:

I’m sorry I have this bad attitude about black people, but I have seen and heard bad things about black people all my life. I know they commit a lot of crimes, and in fact, I have been robbed by three separate black people in my life.

Now, form an image in your mind of a black person who watches a TV report about police brutality, and says: “I’m not surprised. That’s how those white cops are: they’re all racists.” Is this attitude justified if the black person says:

I’m sorry I have this bad attitude about white cops, but I have seen and heard bad things about white cops all my life. I know they hassle black people, and in fact, I have been mistreated by three separate white people in my life"
