Comment on Why are there no black pro golfers (other than you know who)? by roy bunnkowski

So we can assume that since there are only one or two caucasian professional sumo wrestlers in Japan that all Japanese are racists?

Numbers don’t tell everything and logic does not play favorites, either. It must be applied uniformly to all discussions.

As usual, comments by the the pro-illegals play word games and twist facts just enought to validate their point of view. I know of very few “anti-immigration folks”… but I do know many anti-ILLEGAL immigration folks. Why can’t you understand the difference?

It’s interesting that the study mentioned focuses on Indian and Chinese immigrants — immigrants who make up 5% or less of the illegals in this country. (source: Wikipedia) If all this country was dealing with were the relatively small numbers represented by non-latino ILLEGALS, there probably wouldn’t even be much of a discussion like this going on.

It’s also interesting to note that the reasons Indians and Chinese gave for returning home had nothing to do with discrimination but everything to do with a failing United States economy and the consequential loss of opportunities available here.

Diabetes today is mostly caused by a lifestyle that has less exercise and too much sugar. Diabetes can be easily avoided by just doing simple exercises each day like jogging and avoiding sugars. If you already have diabetes, exercise is still the best way to manage it. Food supplements like Charantia and Chromium also helps.

Comment on 911 transcript does not clear neighbor in Gates racial profiling case by Clifford Tong

Your point is well taken, which is why it is important to look at the 911 call transcript, which is factual, rather than the police and eyewitness reports, which are subjective. The 911 call transcript confirms that Ms. Whalen did witness the event, albeit at a distance.

The incident did not begin for Ms. Whalen with her seeing two people with suitcases trying to enter a house in broad daylight. It began, while she was on her way to lunch, when “an elderly woman stopped her on Ware Street earlier this month and explained that someone appeared to be breaking into a nearby home…” Other reports have noted that this elderly woman specifically asked Ms. Whalen if she had a phone to call the police. I find it entirely possible, especially given her calm and completely rational delivery of information to the police, that she was making the call just to reassure an agitated elderly neighborhood resident, and that had she observed this herself she wouldn’t have thought anything but, “Poor guy lost his keys…”

Comment on Harvard professor not a victim of racial profiling by Patrick

Patrick — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:39:12 +0000

With the release of the 911 tape, it’s clear that the woman who called did not say ‘black’. She was clear on saying she wasn’t sure. Further, the 911 operator asked her the ethnicity, she didn’t volunteet this information because she didn’t know. All the people who had the reflex reaction of assuming this woman was a racist just shows you that when people don’t know all the facts, they need to just be quiet and let the smoke clear, especially President Obama.

You raise some very valid questions. Some new information has come to light since your post:

1. Even the police report admits that it was established that the professor was in his own home, and yet the officer chose to contact the Cambridge Police dept. and encourage his backup to come to the house.

2. The 911/dispatch reports confirm the officer’s request to “keep the cars coming” even after establishing Gates’ identity, and don’t appear to reflect an emotionally out of control Gates in the background. The officer’s actions seem totally unnecessary at the very least, and may have purposely done to bait Gates into a confrontation.

3. We will never have all the facts since we were not there. But I think it is fair to reach some conclusions based upon what we do know. What we know is that Gates was confronted by a police officer for breaking into his own home. After establishing his identity, the officer continued his calls for backup. Gates was understandably perturbed by this and began to argue. The police report called his reaction belligerent but at no time did the officer feel physically threatened by an elderly man with a cane – the only abuse was verbal.

Is that grounds for being arrested at your own home? I think not.
