True. That was a generalization, but you get my point. There were black folks on both sides, just like there were brothers fighting brothers. I am real tired of folks like gates who cant see the forest for all the trees in the way. His actions speak volumes. He automatically assumed that the police were questioning him because he was black. In Cambridge of all places. If this was kiladelphia or new orleans, he might carry some weight, but this guy is just waiting to be offended. The cops that showed up just happened to be props for his theater.
