The Cambridge cop prominent Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. claims is a racist gave a dying Reggie Lewis mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in a desperate bid to save the Celtics [team stats] superstar’s life 16 years ago Monday.
“I wasn’t working on Reggie Lewis the basketball star. I wasn’t working on a black man. I was working on another human

being,” Sgt. James Crowley, in an exclusive interview with the Herald, said of the forward’s fatal heart attack July 27, 1993, at age 27 during an off-season practice at Brandeis University, where Crowley was a campus police officer.
It’s a date Crowley still can recite by rote – and he still recalls the pain he suffered when people back then questioned whether he had done enough to save the black athlete.
“Some people were saying ‘There’s the guy who killed Reggie Lewis’ afterward. I was broken-hearted. I cried for many nights,” he said.
Crowley, 42, said he’s not a racist, despite how some have cast his actions in the Gates case. “Those who know me know I’m not,” he said.
Here is a perfect example of the anti-police leftists in our Country. (Kinda like the Anti-police, Anti-Military Libertarians and so-called Conservatives, that like to come to this Blog… they’re all related)
It is quite obvious to anyone, that has an ounce of a brain; that Mr Gates was clearly trying to provoke a situation, that clearly would have never happened, had Mr. Gates just kept his mouth shut and did what the police officer told him to do. It is also quite obvious that Gates is trying to turn a non-racial situation into a racial situation.
Mr. Gates provoked this situation; because he was black, Mr. Gates is one of the radical liberal Harvard professors who, like our now President, want to have a black ran, owned and operated United States. Who wants white men, like me, to cower in fear of the black man, because the sins of White men over 300 years ago in this country. “Social Justice” they call it. I call it radical black nationalism. The Punishment of white men everywhere for previous sins of their forefathers.
I have on this blog, since its inception fought against this sort of radical liberal black nationalism and the satanic mindset of collectivism that is now on the path to ruining our country. I will continue to do so. The Liberal blacks can call me racist all they like, I do not care. But this sort of nonsense will not go unchallenged by this writer.
Of course, this sort of Race Baiting and black entitlement is what has kept, and will continue to keep the Democrat Party in power. It has since around 1968 and continues to do so, to this very day.
Update: AllahPundit over at HotAir points out that this said officer, was picked to be an expert of racial profiling, by a black police commissioner. Heh… Nuance Indeed. Something tells me, that this guy Gates is going to get a nice phone call from this local Democratic leadership and get told to basically STFU and disappear. Because if this guys union is backing him up, the last thing the Democrats need is some asshole liberal trying to cause problems with the local caucus.
What we celebrate tonight is not simply the journey the NAACP has traveled, but the journey that we, as Americans, have traveled over the past one hundred years ….
And yet, even as we celebrate the remarkable achievements of the past one hundred years; even as we inherit extraordinary progress that cannot be denied; even as we marvel at the courage and determination of so many plain folks – we know that too many barriers still remain.
We know that even as our economic crisis batters Americans of all races, African Americans are out of work more than just about anyone else – a gap that’s widening here in New York City, as detailed in a report this week by Comptroller Bill Thompson.
We know that even as spiraling health care costs crush families of all races, African Americans are more likely to suffer from a host of diseases but less likely to own health insurance than just about anyone else.
We know that even as we imprison more people of all races than any nation in the world, an African-American child is roughly five times as likely as a white child to see the inside of a jail.
And we know that even as the scourge of HIV/AIDS devastates nations abroad, particularly in Africa, it is devastating the African-American community here at home with disproportionate force.
These are some of the barriers of our time. They’re very different from the barriers faced by earlier generations. They’re very different from the ones faced when fire hoses and dogs were being turned on young marchers; when Charles Hamilton Houston and a group of young Howard lawyers were dismantling segregation.
But what is required to overcome today’s barriers is the same as was needed then. The same commitment. The same sense of urgency. The same sense of sacrifice. The same willingness to do our part for ourselves and one another that has always defined America at its best.
The question, then, is where do we direct our efforts? What steps do we take to overcome these barriers? How do we move forward in the next one hundred years?
The first thing we need to do is make real the words of your charter and eradicate prejudice, bigotry, and discrimination among citizens of the United States. I understand there may be a temptation among some to think that discrimination is no longer a problem in 2009. And I believe that overall, there’s probably never been less discrimination in America than there is today.
But make no mistake: the pain of discrimination is still felt in America. By African-American women paid less for doing the same work as colleagues of a different color and gender. By Latinos made to feel unwelcome in their own country. By Muslim Americans viewed with suspicion for simply kneeling down to pray. By our gay brothers and sisters, still taunted, still attacked, still denied their rights.
On the 45th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, discrimination must not stand. Not on account of color or gender; how you worship or who you love. Prejudice has no place in the United States of America.
Rough translation? “Waaaaah! Them mean assed honkeys treated us really really mean over 300 years ago! Waaaah! Them mean ol’ Crackas treated us bad in the south before 1964! Waah Waah Waah!
Seriously people, Slavery was outlawed over 300 years ago and Segregation was outlawed in 1964. For the sake of Almighty God, Mr. President; GET THE FUCK OVER IT!
Some of my fellow Conservatives are loving it. I personally found it to be most offensive and quite childish. The man was being outmaneuvered and instead of trying to argue the point; he chose to play the race card. How convenient. :pissedoff:
Al Sharpton would have been proud. So would John Podhoretz possibly.
Not that I am defending Boxer, she is an idiot. But the worst way to fight idiocy; is with MORE idiocy.
Color me among those who are quite unimpressed. :smug:
This is a video of David Wood and Nabeel Qureshi asking questions at Arabfest, Dearborn. The date is June 21st, 2009. There was a booth at the festival which had a banner titled “Islam: Got Questions? Get Answers.” From their table, we picked up a pamphlet claiming that Islam promotes peace. We noticed that it was full of poor logic and errors, so we decided to make a video refuting it. We went to the booth that gave us the pamphlet to give them the opportunity to defend their claims. Security, however, stepped in and forced us to turn off our camera.
We left the booth, received advice from police, and found out that the actions of the security guards were illegal. We went back to the booth to record a potential answer again. Realizing that the Muslims present had no answer, we left.
When we came outside, we were asked some questions by two young men, who had been sent by security to entrap us. While we responded to them, festival security started assaulting us, as you will see in this video. The conclusion of this video is a mob of festival security attacking our cameras, pushing us back, kicking our legs, and lying to the police.
We ask you, is it a coincidence that the city with the highest percentage of Muslims in the United States is the city where Christianity is not allowed to be represented (let alone preached) on a public sidewalk? Is it coincidence that in this city, people will say “No way!” when we say “This is the United States of America”?
Is this what will happen when Islam takes over the United States?
You see Ladies and Gents, THIS is what celebrating diversity does to you. It gets you attacked by Islamic terrorist THUGS! Rick Warren and his purpose driven life, “Let’s love everyone and not judge”, kind of Christianity is just that; it celebrates diversity. Islam, a religion of peace….. What a lie! 😡 This is why, if I ever was going to film, I would go armed. Any security person who approached me and tried to hurt me, would be killed.
A little bit of a disclaimer here. The link I am pointing to, is NOT the person that wrote this. That is Glenn Reynolds’s Blog. The link that he points to, is the one in question. The reason why I am not directly linking to the Blog, is because I refuse to send that idiot ANY traffic directly at all. Not after the way he spoke to me in an e-mail. He’s a Wilsonian Neo-Libertarian. Just wanted to point that out, before anyone started sending Reynolds any hate mail.
Of course, when you’re a blogger/person that comes down on the side of the Wilsonian’s or as I call them, warmongering Neo-Cons; AKA people that take their talking points from John Podhoretz and William Kristol, what do you expect?
Countdown to the race baiters attacking me…in 5….4….3…2…1
The author, Lee Fang seems to feel his/her/its’ reporting job fulfilled by pointing out a spelling mistake on the American Cause banner. No doubt Peter Brimelow would respond this sort of thing is increasingly inevitable as the new generation educated by the modern Teacher’s Union’s minions becomes more dominant.
Ziiiing! Excellent come back to the America-Hating Socialist/Communist left. 😀
I will be the first to admit, there are times when Andrew Sullivan gets under my skin. But this is not one of this times. Sullivan has gotten attacked by Wilsonian Republicans, because someone dared to point out their pro-war mentality. The reason they are attacking him, is because he invoked a word, which is commonly used to describe that faction of the Republican Party. That word is “Neo-Cons”, Which is generally what they are. Former pro-war Democrats or intellectual classical liberals who left the Democratic Party, because of their opposing of the civil rights act and other such related events.
Anyhow, here’s what Sullivan said, I’ll bold and underline the parts that sent the “Neo-Cons”, if you will; into a tizzy:
Did you notice how many times he invoked the word “justice” in his message? That’s the word that will resonate most deeply with the Iranian resistance. What a relief to have someone with this degree of restraint and prudence and empathy – refusing to be baited by Khamenei or the neocons, and yet taking an eloquent stand, as we all do, in defense of freedom and non-violence. The invocation of MLK was appropriate too. What on earth has this been but, in its essence, a protest for voting rights? Above all, the refusal to coopt their struggle for ours, because freedom is only ever won, and every democracy wil be different: this is an act of restraint that is also a statement of pure confidence in the power of a free people.
Well, I guess now, the word “Neo-Con” is now code word for “Jew Hater”. Which is so absolutely funny. Because these bloggers are the same bloggers, who decry the race-baiting of the far left; only to do it themselves, when it comes to Jewish people. Since when does using a term, such as Neo-Con or Neo-Conservative constitute a racial slur? Sorry folks, but that is nothing more than race baiting in it’s purest form. You should all be ashamed. So, next you hear Wilsonian Republicans, like Michelle Malkin and those of her ilk, decrying the race baiting of the left, just remember; they do the same thing, when it comes to the Jewish people.
Neo-Con a racist term…. Please, as if! 🙄
Update: Please note: I originally ended this article with a rather crass term used amongst African-Americans; and I see that “The Daily Paul” linked in; and for that I am grateful. Anyhow, I changed the ending. I understand that not everyone out there gets my type of “I grew up in inner city Detroit” sort of humor. So, to those who were offended; I apologize. Again, thanks to the folks that linked in from the Daily Paul.
Obama picks Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Newt Gingrich say she’s a racist– but what do Jackie and Dunlap think?
