Well, that explains his temper.

“one of the more extraordinary aspects of the incident that has sparked worldwide headlines”

Not really extraordinary at all. Whoever their common ancestor might have been, it was long enough ago to be meaningless. Plus, you could already tell Gates was mixed-race just by looking at him.

He’s only “half” Irish if you believe, as ABC apparently does, that having one Irish great-great-grandparent out of 16 somehow adds up to half...........

So what if he’s half whatever. Doesn’t excuse him being an anal orifice.

Sure. First thing that came to mind when I saw Gates’ picture—another Irishman. So, ABC, anything ELSE you can do to pacify, defuse and generally get Hussein off the hook for being a racist?

If you're Irish, you're descended from royalty and that's all there is to it.

As for someone who lived in the 4th century A.D., do you realize how many descendants that person would have living today? Probably in the billions. Certainly in the millions. Pretty much everyone of Irish descent.

This whole thing, except for the woman who called 911 was a setup folks. Even the cop that responded.

We do know now that this cop was never dispatched to the scene. He just happened to be nearby and took it upon himself to respond.

Why should he respond? Why would he say the the 911 caller said two black men with backpacks? Why did he say that when that is not what she said?

All a set up to make the black folks that were starting to get upset O was not down for the struggle.

Who was not invited for a damn beer?

It was the caller who was accused of saying something she never ever said.

This picnic beer summit is a joke. All 3 of the real problem and involved in the set up, will be toasting each other and spinning like giant spiders.

Wake up.

Top half or bottom? Oh, I'm sorry. I know with maniacs like Gates there can be no humor about our common humanity. “Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.”

James Earle Jones is descended from Irish indentured servants on his mother’s side, I believe. Lots of “black Irish” aside from Phil Lynott...
