So now the famous "beer summit" is now a little piece of American history. Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. has donated the handcuffs used to arrest him to the new museum on Black history at the Smithsonian. Last summer's arrest set off a racial brouhaha that led to the so-called summit at the White House with Gates, Cambridge cop James Crowley, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama.
So let me get this straight. The "Hand-Cuffs" are a piece of history, showing the Black Youth of America that this was a part of "SLAVERY"?
If it is part of "Black History" then that is exactly what they are telling us.
And this make the daily news headlines!
And now a grumpy old sad and foolish man who insisted his rights be respected, by the police is now a National Hero. And is another part of the bunk portrayed upon us as a part Black History.
It wasn’t enough and it didn’t matter that James Crowley did his job and that Joe Biden and Barack Obama bent over backwards to kiss his ass.
But here is the real kicker!
SINCE WHEN DO POLICE GIVE YOU THE HANDCUFFS THEY USE TO ARREST YOU?
This is something that I never heard of.
I think that they should have given him one of those cool orange jumpsuits. And then he would have really had something to use as a souvenir.
This whole STUPID episode was and remains to be a bunch of crap. A black man overreacts and draws a response from a white cop and all of a sudden the whole issue becomes racial issue and gives his “Hand-Cuffs” to the National Treasure Museum. All I can say is... Holy shit, Felons like him should have been thrown in jail.
I can only wonder what’s next! Will Rodney King's puke be enshrined forever as well!
