Much Ado About Nothing


Gates caller says she didn’t cite race

The woman whose report of a possible house break-in led to the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. said she never mentioned race during her 911 call and is “personally devastated’’ by media accounts that suggest she placed the call because the men she observed on the porch were black,

Listen to the call here.

1. Mr. Gates should go the concerned neighbor and personally apologize and thank her for looking out for his house.

2. Mr. Gates and President Obama should personally apologize to officer Crowley and the Cambridge police department and police across the country.

3. In my opinion, this puts the lie to what Henry Gates and others black leaders have been teaching for years. It's time to put the race baiters out of business.
If Obama wants to be a leader and not a divider, he should lead in that.
