more from that link:

"Every day I write in the morning, then ride eight miles from my house to South Beach. I get off, look at the ocean, then get back on and ride home. My tricycle has a bell that sounds like the Good Humor man, and I ring it when I pass people. Everybody waves and says, 'There goes that Henry Louis Gates Jr.!'"

Folks, you might want to avoid putting your blanket down on that spot on the beach where Gates likes to "get off" and "look at the ocean."

Dan, look even further into Inkwell. As in Inkwell Beach at Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard. This is where Obama was planning on spending some of his summer holidays. He may no longer be doing so. The history of this summer community is quite rich -literally. I had a friend in college days who was a member of one of the original families of this colony. As she explained it to me, they are the descendents of the “token black” system put in place by the Ivy Leagues after the Civil War. Each class year of each Ivy had a “token black” student come up from the South (by train) and all expenses were paid for his education plus he was given an allowance that equal his peers. My friend’s ancestor was, like her, at Brown. He didn’t he bring a suitcase with him. Her whole family had either gone to Brown or Harvard -many on this program. I think the AME Church is part of this as well. This colony is beyond elite. These folks are highly intelligent, extremely cultured, and incredibly successful. A book chronicling their lifestyles has been written about them - they even have their own debutante system:

This life is far different than the average American middle class African American (or White) family experience and in another world from the hellish experience of the inner city African American family. To think Americans like Gates and his fellow Inkwells are content to summer in Martha’s Vineyard with a 68% illiteracy rate among African American 3rd graders or that 80%+ of the African American babies born in Detroit are illegitimate and born below the poverty line and living a quality of life you wouldn’t want subject an animal to is monstrous. They, better than any other Americans, understand the value of a real education. Their lives are a testament to what a good education combined with freedom and free enterprise can do for an individual in America.

More on Inkwell Beach - find out if the name is a nod to their educations as I suspect it is:

Oh, and when you learn about Inkwell, you understand what a phony race pimp Gates is. Along with Cornell West.

why don’t you ride that trike down the paseo and see what your bros think about it homeboy

[Atom Smasher]

What a schmuck! Can anyone be more full of themselves? Oh yeh! I forgot about Zero...he’s a treasure trove of narcissistic psychoses!

(Gates an arrogant elitist)

Isn't that redundant? He's a known liberal, so arrogant elitist just goes with the territory. He's also a race-baiter and apparently doesn't like whites or Police much either.

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting. More insight into the character of Henry Louis Gates Jr. What an elitist/racist POS.

[4rcane]

look at all obama’s friends

William Ayers, arrogant elitist racist leftist
Jeremiah Wright, arrogant elitist racist leftist
Gates, arrogant elitist racist leftist

[Pan_Yan]

The United States should build our own version of the Turkinsh Prison, and put every elitist snob who has ever told a cop “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” in it for a year.

[rfp1234]

I get off, look at the ocean...

Someone should also ask Gates if he owns any Long D*ng Silver videos, or if he's ever found funny fibers on his Coca-Cola cans.

[freespirited]

I’ll bet he asks for Grey Poupon in a burger joint.

[Critical Bill]

Thank you sir you made my day!

"I get off, look at the ocean, then get back on and ride home.... Everybody waves and says, 'There goes that Henry Louis Gates Jr.!'"

He likes to say his own name while he's getting off....

[Robert A Cook PE]

I’m a little suspicious of intelligentsia and elite Harvard know-it-all’s who feel like they have to identify themselves to themselves by their full FOUR names as “Henry Louis Gates Jr.!”

“I” do not go down the road identifying myself with a little bicycle bell and a my full four names .....

'Undaunted in your quest to prove that the best way to win the long struggle to end profiling is by assuming that all white cops are racists, you demonstrate that oppression has to have been experienced to be understood.

That’s one of the most pretentious statements I’ve ever heard.

Maybe he should learn the difference between Burns and Shakespeare before he spouts off about the ‘quality of light’ crap.
