What’s really incendiary are black CNN anchors(who were given their jobs because of their race)calling news “incendiary”.
Is there any wonder why CNN is almost dead last?

THIS IS CNN   July 24th, 2009 - 2:52 pm

Attention ALL black people and guilt-ridden whites:

We will be re-playing “BLACK IN AMERICA 2″ all weekend, in an effort to heal the latest racial divide.

Attention CNN “news” team .It wasn’t the white police officer that was throwing “yo mama” around.It was the professional race victim Gates.
Gates and the president are the instigators.They are the ones stiring the press .
Don’t like it? Then you call yo mama and whine.

Al   July 24th, 2009 - 2:59 pm

The incendiary tinge to this isuued was injected by President Obama. Before he is a black man he is the President of the United States. As the holder of the highest elected office in the land, he needs to reserve comments on a contentious situation until all the facts have been known and judged. I sincerely doubt this incident would have become the incendiary issue it is now had President Obama done the sensible action of witholding remarks until all the facts were known.

Bro   July 24th, 2009 - 3:02 pm

It is you people on CNN that is fanning the flames for this issue. Give me a break bro.

Scaley MacKerel   July 24th, 2009 - 3:03 pm

I wasted five minutes listening to this drivel.
I “profile” this CNN report as a load of garbage.

David Letterman   July 24th, 2009 - 3:04 pm

Much ado about something — because the rascist cop is wrong.
GOP media is wrong to fan the flames!!!

Obama does’t need to apologize…he didn’t arrest someone in their
own home! Cops? They NEVER apologize!

The media involved like Breitbart, CNN et al REALLY GOTTA LET THIS GO!

**Although this a CLASSIC MORAL DILEMMA IN WHICH THE PUBLIC HAS NO DECISION IN THE OUCOME …disguised as news.

This little fracas does a poor job of taking the spotlight away from America’s great new unified reform of healthcare — as penned by DEM and REPUB brethren!

Oh – by the way…have you seen the stock market? UP OVER 9,000 points!
Go Obama! Real estate is rebounding too!

Finally we are killing REAGANOMICS! >>>> Make money…not war!

Paul Schaeffer   July 24th, 2009 - 3:08 pm

Wow! I never realized David Letterman was such an idiot.

Jamal DeMofo   July 24th, 2009 - 3:08 pm

What a riveting segment, CNN!!! Two A$$clown Koons spending 5 minutes saying absolutely nothing.

How dare they?   July 24th, 2009 - 3:09 pm

What could be more inflammatory or racist than having a major at a college be the study of ONE SINGLE race when NO OTHER RACE study is offered??

Academia: an incendiary joke!

Dave, Tn   July 24th, 2009 - 3:13 pm

Yeah I didn’t know the good professor brought mommas into it until today. Too freaking funny. So you wanna play the dozens well the dozens is a game, but the way people form Harvard have screwed this country is a GD shame. Ivy League gangsters with a moral compass set to whatever loophole some piece of crap like Dodd, Schumer, Fwanks can be paid to leave in a law.

Fourier   July 24th, 2009 - 3:13 pm

The only one race bating here is the “hate whitey” Harvard professor and CNN.
Skippy teaches “a hate whitey” course at that crap hole school.

Trent   July 24th, 2009 - 3:18 pm

Is this BET?

Mr. Dave   July 24th, 2009 - 3:19 pm

Obama: ‘This was a teachable moment’ — OK, ‘who’ needs to learn ‘what’?!?!?

Trent   July 24th, 2009 - 3:22 pm

We all need to step back a bit and redo the 2008 election, too. Neither of the two main candidates were qualified.

Mary   July 24th, 2009 - 3:44 pm

It’s a teachable moment indeed, Mr. Obama. You screwed the pooch.

Teachable moment for Skippie, and Sharpton, and Jackson, and all the delusional CNN reporters.

The days of loud, indignant race-hustling are OVER.

Buckofama   July 24th, 2009 - 3:58 pm

LOL. Nobody watches CNN much less these two pitiful excuses for men who call themselves news anchors and reporters. They are jockeying to get their own point and talking over each other incoherently. They are a perfect example of the biased liberal media that lives to put a race spin onto something but in this case they are on the wrong end and the race card being played is the dead man’s hand. If you want real news and not the rejected press then watch Fox News or conservative based media.

Kerry   July 24th, 2009 - 4:00 pm

It’s obvious Obama was more influenced by Rev. Wright than any of us realized…..nice going America for electing a racist!!!!

John   July 24th, 2009 - 4:03 pm

My life experience with blacks has been one of betrayal and theft. Am I justified in carrying a chip on my shoulder?

MORONS! LOL!!!!

Niles Lesh   July 24th, 2009 - 4:16 pm

yes, lets mend this,…but first lets define what you mean by “this”

note to Don Lemon – try not list your personal history when presenting your self as an objective news reporter

Seriously, you just disqualified yourself as an unbiased opinion by droping your “it happened to me, but we settled out of court” comment

Then he goes on to disqualify his own statement as irrellevant stating “it was not racial profiling, it was something else” WTF

The viewer is left asking themselves why is this guy on TV talking to me.
Nice job Don !

MARC   July 24th, 2009 - 4:21 pm

Obama has exposed himslef as the true definition of a racist: one whose pre-conceived notions of race lead him to emotion-based decisions, statements, and actions.

He didn’t know the facts of this case, but ASSUMED (because he and his friend are black) that he could divine the motive of a white police officer.

Had this President been white, the NAACP would be howling from the rooftops for his impeachment.

This is where multi-culturalism and political correctness has brought us, and this horrible excuse for a president is the glaring example of a failed and mis-guided social agenda of the Left for 40 years.

Steev   July 24th, 2009 - 4:30 pm

The Reporter was a sensible guy, it was the Anchor that was getting steamed.

People are really not informed on this story-
Gates refused to present a proper ID.
The Cop didn’t arrest Gates in his house, the Officer walked out of the house to validate Gates as the resident of the home (via the radio) and Gates followed him outside acting belligerently.

Gates got out of control and needs to admit it.

Had the officer turned around and left without ensuring Gates was the resident and if Gates Family was being held hostage inside, then we’d be hearing about how the cops weren’t following procedure, weren’t being thorough, etc. Boom- Lawsuit.

Gates was probably having a bad day because he came home and couldn’t get in his house. But that doesn’t give him license to treat the cop like dirt, which is what Gates did.

Gates reminds me of those Pompous College Profs who think they are better then everyone else.

Anne   July 24th, 2009 - 4:30 pm

Oh hell be glad you have that job at CNN. And yes as many people have mentioned
big mouth got his job because he is black

CommonSense   July 24th, 2009 - 4:33 pm

So it’s the white guys fault and the white guys job to clean it all up? I mean other than screaming racism from a Harvard Professor and the President – I guess well wrap this up to. What good is a black Harvard Professor and a black President if they with their higher intelligence and acheivements can’t solve this.
I mean why pick on the poor underpaid uneducated white cops?
BIAS BIAS BIAS!!!!!!!!!!

Phil G.   July 24th, 2009 - 4:36 pm

Long ago, I was involved in an accident. Two cars were traveling down the interstate side by side and waving at each other. They later pulled off the same exit ramp I was. One pulled off the road and the other pulled only about half way which forced me to stop.

I turned my wheels to try and go around and was smacked from behind by another car (which almost sent me down the embankment).

When I asked the people in the two cars to stay until cops arrived, (I was a military policeman and this was not my jurisdiction), the first words I heard out of one of the women’s mouth was “You doin’ this because we black!”

She didn’t care that had they too pulled off the road, I would not have had to stop and SQUEEZE around and wouldn’t have been hit.

I finally got one of the guys to understand what I was saying.

The whole point is, why does everything HAVE to be because “they are black.”

All Gates had to do to NOT MAKE IT AN ISSUE was to not argue and go get his ID like most people would have done. At that point they *MAY* have wanted to check out his house to be sure he was not under duress. NPR’s Juan Williams even says this AND HE IS BLACK (and in the video interview, he relates his OWN experience when his home alarm went off in the early morning hours and police responded).

Williams also feels that Obama ‘Has Gone Way, Way Too Far’ in the Gates arrest.

You just don’t start off your comments with police in a confrontational manner. When has that ever ended in a good way regardless of race??

And if Gates *IS* Obama’s buddy, chances are that he felt more empowered to spout his racial crap and try to place some out of line race card instead of just letting the office do his job.

Jason   July 24th, 2009 - 4:36 pm

This is absurd, no need to tiptoe around this issue,every day people are being racially profiled due to affirmative action,in this country it’s only racism if something happens to a black person, anyone else is perfectly fine to be discriminated against. Perfect example is the incident where the black kids were turned away from the swimming pool, everyone covered that like it was the main story, yet the white family that was assaulted by a group of black thugs in Ohio was barely covered.

Dashark   July 24th, 2009 - 4:37 pm

Obama abuse of our Policemen is outrageous! He Must apologize publicly to our cops or face humilliation.
Obamacare is the MURDER OF OUR PARENTS and ELDERLY.
Solution: ASK OBAMA TO PRODUCE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE UNTIL HE QUITS. OBAMA DOESN’T HAVE IT BECAUSE HE WAS BORN IN MOMBASA, KENYA IN THE COASTAL REGIONAL HOSPITAL..

Jason   July 24th, 2009 - 4:39 pm

When will whiny blacks who think they are owed reparations take responsibility for their own lives and stop blaming everything on whitey, you are an individual, you make your destiny, Obama has achieved the highest position there is so why is there still a feeling among blacks that they are being held down by whitey.

Jason   July 24th, 2009 - 4:44 pm

Although slavery was a horrible thing, the end result is that millions of blacks now live in the greatest country on earth. Although how they got here was terrible, now that they are here in modern day America, they have it ten times better than they would if they were still in Africa starving and dying of Aids and being poor beyond belief, they would still be in the stone age of civilization had they not come to America.

idjk   July 24th, 2009 - 4:46 pm

The reporter seems very level headed and is looks to be doing a fair and balanced
job on this story- the news anchor seems to want to stir it up even more .

OBAMA IS AN EDUCATED IDIOT!   July 24th, 2009 - 5:11 pm

No doubt about it.

It Ain't Working 4U   July 24th, 2009 - 5:30 pm

Wow, another black man that had NOTHING to do with the event adds his own “incendiary” comments. But white people are the racists…

Dial it back a bit Tony.

John J Feller   July 24th, 2009 - 5:36 pm

the CNN man says both sides should yield, but he means the cop should yield and this racist Professor should be king. When one listens to the tape from the conversation between the cop and the prof inside the house
it is absolutely clear that the prof did not identify himself but insulted the cop. The incident has nothing whatsoever to do with racial profiling but with responding to a call and not getting the cooperation from the “suspect”. When I listen to this tape from CNN it is obvious that the black man on the left is a racist and not at all objective.
Of course BHO should appologise, he interacted in a pending law suit and took sides without knowing the facts.

Obama Hates Cambridge P.D.   July 24th, 2009 - 5:53 pm

Maybe this explains our POTUS’s BAD attitude toward law enforcement…

“One reason Barack Obama may have been so critical of the Cambridge Police Department is that he might have a grudge against the law enforcement agency.

Obama, who attended Harvard Law School from 1988 to 1991, lived in Cambridge and apparently didn’t like the fact he was frequently hit with parking tickets.

In all, Obama received 17 tickets for parking violations, and he did not pay 15 of them until a local newspaper exposed him as a scofflaw.

According to a 2007 Associated Press story, Obama was a parking ticket deadbeat for more than a decade — and felt the need to pay the 15 outstanding parking ticketsonly as his presidential campaign began in earnest in 2007.
Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge between 1988 and 1991, mostly for parking in a bus stop, parking without a resident permit and failing to pay the meter, records from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation office show.”

Whites are sick of this reverse racism. These A$$ holes are fanning the flames. Everysingle thing that happens to them is a racial issue. Blacks are so used to whining and getting their way that they always cry Racism. Obama is a whiney a$$ clown and the truth is coming out. People will slowly see the truth in time. Every single black in America could vote for him for his second term, (which is racist in itself) and he will still lose. Good Riddance! Remember black people it is thanks to whites that you have a black president in office.

peter c   July 24th, 2009 - 6:07 pm

These two Bl@ck Racist Obama mouthpieces are who is fanning the fire with their creepy words and yelling and LYING about the case.
They are still trying to blame the WHITE guy…Gates was NOT profiled…He was wrong…He started the Race Card…and insulted the Cop and the Cop’s other!! These Liberal Racists on CNN say Bl@cks can insult a White Guy’s mother because it’s a Bl@ck culture thing!!!
I guess that it goes along with 80% unwed Bl@ck Mothers….48% of all murders being committed by 5% of the Bl@ck Population…All The Gangs…all the killings and child abuse….all the welfare and hands out constantly….all the Drop out rates….all the Bad English and using violence to settle everything.
These two should look at their own community…as should the Racist Gates,Jackson..Sharpton and Obama…and stop trying to blame Race for everything they do wrong. But they won’t because millions have been brainwashed into having “White Guilt” for what Bl@cks do and for Slavery that ended 160 years ago…Reparations is what this is all about.The health Bill is about reparations…Obama is about reparations.

This is why CNN is the least trusted name in news. They don’t report the news. They are raving ideologues.

The anchor was about to expload because he cannot manage the news.
He then lectures about race being incendiary, well it was Gates who injected race into this.
CNN then fanned the flames about it for days. Obama first admits he doesn’t know any facts, but then chimes in saying the police acted stupidly. Now the police rightfully criticize, Obama, and the anchor calls it incendiary.

Yeah right, hey CNN, shouldn’t you be working on your next “Being Black in America” segment.

Truth First   July 24th, 2009 - 9:51 pm

Henry Lewis Gates, Jr. the noted African Harvard scholar is a victim of the white power structure which is trying to reassert its historical dominance over Africans and on all people of color.

Fortunately, we now live in the era of Obama where such injustices will not be allowed to happen without comment, reflection and the action of justice.

During the years of the Bush Regime, Professor Gates would have been beaten or perhaps even killed for being African but the era of Obama is one of justice and racial reckoning.

Lance   July 25th, 2009 - 12:20 am

Like two dogs trying to cover up Obama’s turds. All Obama and Gates did was to to create more racial divide in this country. And I thought the press said after Obama was elected that America had become a “post-racial country.” As usual, the mainstream media screwed up badly and tried tilting the opinions favorably for Obama. Is it any wonnder that CNN, MSNBC and the network news organizations are losing audience like there’s no tomorrow?

Americans know better. Shame on you Obama, Gates and the mainstream media. You’re all idiots and/or servants of the White House hype machine. Just remember 2010 is closer than you think. So is 2012.

These people are truly pathetic.

John Smith   July 25th, 2009 - 1:27 am

I hope Cambridge PD does publish the tapes and we get to hear the 911 call and the sound of PRof Gates saying rude things about PD Crowley’s mother. That will put an end to this as it will be facts.
Then, we need to see the real BIRTH CERTIFICATE for the President. Did you notice he has had “re-calibrated” the Hawaiian hospital where he asserts he was born. First it was Queens Hospital and now he asserts Kao’lpo hospital.
That’s another re-calibration.
Other re-calibrations: on the campaign trail he said he didn’t suport universal health care. And now he does.
On the campaign trail he promised to close Gitmo.. Weellll, now there’s some other re-calibrating going on as no one any murderous terrorists in their back yard… So much for tolerance!
He shares some traits with FlipFLop Kerry. He’s just better at weaseling out of things and beats Slick Willy hands-down!

Breaking news – The news anchor is a complete moron.

Thorshammer   July 25th, 2009 - 10:48 am

With all due respect to the President (who I believe has many good qualities) – Obama is half “White” and half “Black” (info for those race baiters out there) – since he was raised almost entirely by his “White” relatives (and attended nice private schools) Obama is much more representative of a white liberal than a blackman – is it just me who points out the obvious? And, as we all know “Liberalism is a mental disorder”. Obama’s issue is not genetic; it’s Liberalism. On the other, CNN’s massive far left leaning issues are probably genetic.

kill ignorance   July 25th, 2009 - 1:10 pm

There is a bunch of ignorant a$$ people on here. You all are quick to talk about race, but look @ all these racist comments about black people. First off Obama’s mother is white , so how can he hate white people? Whites are always talking about how blacks playing the race card and look @ you all on this site, talking about how he hates white people and is a racist. Have you jerks been reading what has been listed above, referring to blacks as coons and chimps. Secondly, if you are not black you have no reason to comment on what it is like to be black in America. Some blacks whine, but most work hard to achieve lifelong goals, and in America you still have to work twice as hard to prove your worth. Being white you would’nt know anything about it so, SHUT THE HELL UP! Just admit that you all are still bitter about Obama winning the election. Stop WHINING, accept it and move on. Just remember that “Hate” is the cancer of the world. Let’s contain it and kill it once and 4 all.

Jason   July 25th, 2009 - 3:20 pm

In response to “kill ignorance” yes there are some comments on here that are racist, but there are racists on both sides. The point is what is right and wrong.It is true that black people use the race card way too much, in my “white experience” this is what I find to be true. As a white person and an American I have the right to comment on anything I damn well please, it’s called freedom of speech. I think white people are the ones who have to work twice as hard to prove their worth due to affirmative action. Black people get positions just because their skin is black, and if you say anything about it, your labeled a racist, when in fact it is the policy of affirmative action that is racist. Martin Luther King dreamed of a day when people would be judged by the content of their charachter not the color of their skin. Affirmative Action is an insult to that statement and makes everyone question any black that is in a position of power and makes them wonder if they really were the best qualified individual or did they get there due to their own hard work, and intelligence. I am not bitter about Obama winning the election because he’s half black, half white, I think a good majority of us are unhappy that the first President representing African Americans had to be Obama. If hate is the cancer of the world, then a large portion of blacks who think like Professor Gates are full of hate for white people, and hold a grudge even though they never experienced slavery in their lifetime. I don’t see Jews crying racism everytime something happens to them due way the Germans treated them. I also don’t see American Indians marching with idiots like al sharpton and jesse jackson every time someone is perceived to have wronged them.

Jason   July 25th, 2009 - 3:26 pm

“kill ignorance” you are ignorant to the truth of affirmative action and the fact that it is racism. President Obama made a judgement about how the cops treated this black Professor without all the facts. This proves he holds a grudge and is racist. I will never feel like equality is working until affirmative action is outlawed. Affirmative Action and people like Professor Gates, Als Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and President Obama keep racism alive in this country and fuel the flames of hate on both sides.

Linda   July 25th, 2009 - 3:44 pm

Come on, for pete’s sake, how can you honestly act like blacks don’t always play the race card? Yeah, and michael jackson never had a operation on his nose either. Obama reminds me of hitler. Hitler hated Jews because his mother was a Jew. He hated handicap people because he was. Obama has all the symptoms of someone with a grudge on his shoulder. The lastest incident shows what he has learned from sitting under Pastor Wright for twenty years. If you were interested in the truth you would acknowledge that it is Obama’s socialistic programs he is ruining this Country with and NOT his color that people are angry at. There are plenty of hard working African American’s in this Country that have contributed to our Free way of life and I bet they hate what Obama is doing to it too. Of course you are going to have people on this site that say racist things, but listen to you. How are you any better than them? I am 60 years old and remember having an outside toilet and no running water. Had to carry our water up a very big hill every single day. Have you ever done that? I guess not. I never had the advantages the Black race has in this country and yet you say we don’t know what hardships are. Stop blaming the white race for bringing your ancestors here. What about God? Do you ever stop to think maybe you are blaming God? Have you talked to Him about what you have come through? The Jews in the Bible went through slavery when they stopped worshiping God and worshiped false idols. Something to think about huh?

Coincidentally, I just watched a movie last week called “Einstein’s Big Idea” in which Gates was the narrator explaining the physics of E=mc2 This guy is not a fool or a guy put in his position by politics. That is probably why he overreacted when confronted in his home. He was most likely wrong about being profiled but none of you were there. You did not hear the tone nor see the attitude of the police officer. I have had two incidents with officers in my life where they were total arrogant jerks (I am white) and was treated like a criminal until it was determined I had done nothing remotely wrong. If I had been black I MIGHT have concluded that was why I was harassed, as I think Gates did. There ARE some cops with attitudes who are drunk on power and YOU ALL KNOW IT! Crowley does not seem to be one of these so I agree with Obama that this could be a teachable moment. Gates needs to listen and quit acting so arrogantly, but if you were arrested in your own home AFTER you have proved your identity and you have committed NO crime you would also be angry if you were then arrested because the cop did not like your attitude. He could have walked away while muttering “what an A-hole” and that is what he should have done.

“Kill Ignorance” apparently plans on committing suicide, since he comes across as one damned ignorant POS. Man, how can one poster say so many wrong and stupid things in a row. Did he learn his stupidity at some chicago thug school? Dude, get a real education that does not involve hate whitey as your professor. You really do sound stupid and moronic. I bet you even voted for Obama. That would clinch it.

kmichaels   July 25th, 2009 - 9:34 pm

Ron Orf logic pretty weak too. He figures a guy cant be a race baiter if he is on a program explaining the current theory of E=MC2. You see, according to Ron’s logic you cant be a race baiter and talk about popular science subjects too. Of course it makes absolutely no sense but when fools are dead set to defend the guilty they say some pretty stupid and illogical things such as what Ron just said. Oh well, Obama supporters come in all varieties of stupid.

kmichaels   July 25th, 2009 - 9:44 pm

Requirements for becoming a prestigious liberal professor. Go to school for an unusually long amount of time without really learning much. Be able to speak fluent PC. Be able to look past the truth and say something that sounds like an explanation (preferably not the truth). You get high bonus points if you are a minority. You must hate capitalism, conservatism and Christian and Jewish religions. Non liberals need not apply. BTW, if you can say “Does Your Mama Know Who You Are Dealing With” then you get extra credit.

Gates no saint   July 25th, 2009 - 10:00 pm

Gates linked to radical black, communist activists is no saint and deserves no sympathy.

Gates, it turns out, has recruited radical black activists to his university department, is a prominent supporter of reparations for the descendents of slaves and has immortalized a communist and socialist activist.

Since 1991, Gates has been teaching African American studies at Harvard, where he serves as the director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research. De Bois, an American civil rights activist, sociologist, historian and author, was an avowed communist and socialist sympathizer.

Du Bois was for a brief time a member of the Socialist Party. In 1927 he infamously traveled to the USSR, where he called the Soviet system “the most hopeful vehicle for the world.” Eight years later, he published the book “Black Reconstruction,” which offered a Marxist interpretation of the Reconstruction Era.

The tale of an anarchistic, narcotic and parasitic narcissistic ruler of a great nation was told not that long ago, in Mein Kampf and Zweites Buch. Conversely by the President of the United States who also printed two books, Dreams of my Father and The Audacity of Hope. Not by accident, I think; they believe in the same thing kind-of, to reach their ends in black and white. All Americans should be well aware of this fact, I believe.

But the divisions, the President of these United States insists on employing, be that of health care, the budget or the simple Gates issue of a helpless black homeowner to cheap or reactionary to fix his front door after being broken into previously and the white police officer of impeccable credentials, he called stupid. Exacerbates the issue of black against white and right against wrong; I call to Americas attention, Hail Hitler (joke).

Obama’s tactics, tried and true, all failures in history; he wants to repeat on America.
When does a self confessed, crack smoking, cocaine user rule a great or any nation? Regrettably, currently and only in America could this happen. I pray to God, the Jesus type, to save us, before we all kill each other. This is a test, a wake up call, don’t be alarmed, go back to sleep and watch ABC, CBS, NBC, the current level of education.

Man,that news anchor was a complete dick!

He wouldn’t shut his suck and let the reporter say what he supposed to be saying.The reporter on the other hand was cool as cucumber.I could listen to that guy all day.Well,I could if he wasn’t on the Communist News Network.That news anchor needs a baseball to the temple!

“We all need to step back and not react to the latest newsline that comes out..”
Oh yeah,well what about how you just spouted off?Total dick.

And your point is, Mr. Ignorance?

Kill done wrote again:”Secondly, if you are not black you have no reason to comment on what it is like to be black in America.”
But you can make judgements on caucasians?

RobertoK   July 26th, 2009 - 11:31 am

Go read the entire background of Gates and you will find the creep is a Communist sympathizer and Socialist. He is a supporter of DuBois, a Communist and Dubois was the mentor of Jeremiah Wright. Dubois also traveled to and supported the Marxist Socialist government of Ghana, a country Obama just visited. For BloBama to say what he said has definitely shown America the standing danger we have in the White House. Obama, himself an “ex?” member of the New Socialist Party of America is not only a Leftists, he is what is termed in both parties as as “over the firewall extremist”. Yes people, you better wake up and start demanding of your Senators and Congress people proof from Obama that he can hold the office of the Presidency as defined in Article 2 of the Constitution. This THE WORST person to have ever entered the American political stage, next to Ernie Chambers of Nebraska.

Joe Momma   July 26th, 2009 - 2:15 pm

The fact that so many White people voted for Odumba proves that the White race is not superior and has its share of idiots.

Wes Freeman   July 26th, 2009 - 3:14 pm

Gates is a Racist just like obama, This never would have happened had gates shown a picture ID and the question to obama at his so called news conference was a plant. The police should tell gates and obama to go to hell, they are the problemd

During the video, I kept looking on the screen to see if the name of the anchor was displayed anywhere. I didn’t see it, and therefore, have no idea who he is. However, when I find out, I will add his name, along with that of Obama and Gates, to the list of those who are known to be racist against white people.

AG1   July 26th, 2009 - 5:07 pm

Some of the previous comments make reference to the fact that Obama’s mother was white, therefore, they conclude that he cannot be racist against white people. Why then, during the campaign, did Obama refer to his grandmother as “a typical white person?” His racism was on full display at that time. Can you imagine a white person using similar verbiage and saying “a typical black person?” The news media would crucify them.

xDenise1952   July 26th, 2009 - 5:12 pm

See how hostile the black (older) CNN reporter on the leftside of the screen, I don’t see his name, is? It would be very difficult to have a discussion with him, because he will not listen, heh as his bias which comes through, to me, on air. I am black, neither of these so-called reporters are reporting, they are making commentary. One of them is getting ready to relate a PERSONAL event of his encounter with the police. This is suppose to be a NEWS report, not a antedotal chat over cocktails at a BBQ. I don’t care to hear what happened to Q-ball or Cutie-Tony when they met a cop 10 years ago when they were driving drunk or talking loud in a theater. No wonder CNN is falling in ratings.

MIchael D   July 26th, 2009 - 5:51 pm

The only thing incendiary thing is that the media keep referring to this professor as an elderly man…58 is elderly?!? where is the outrage ’bout that?

Frank J   July 26th, 2009 - 6:12 pm

Obama hates his white mother like Hitler hated his Jewish mother.

Charles   July 26th, 2009 - 6:25 pm

WOW! Did I expect more out of CNN…I guess not.

But I am not at all surprised by a black desk jockey at CNN, who obviously needed affirmative action to get where he is, nearly slapping down his fellow black reporter on site for interrupting his supremacy statement.

It is time to make the playing field truly level and remove ALL laws pertaining to affirmative action and any race based discrimination. We should be WAY past ALL of that. If it weren’t for black news anchors like this, we would have no racism in this country. He and those like him (Jesse, Al, Louis, et al) are the culprits in keeping this 150 year old wound open and raw.

To all blacks everywhere I say “STOP THE RACISM AGAINST WHITES AND LATINOS.” Be thankful that your forefathers were brought to this country as slaves and had the opportunity to become what you are today. The end result here is now the important part. Be thankful you are NOT still living in a hut in the bush wearing a loincloth and carrying a spear. Having to carry in your water to your village and hunt every day for your meals. And go to war with the spear chucking elders against another tribe that insulted your honor.

LEARN TO BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR PROSPERITY!!!!!!!

Bill Clinton   July 26th, 2009 - 8:14 pm

I like how a news anchor asks us to ignore the news cycle. OK, good bye CNN.

David   July 26th, 2009 - 8:15 pm

And it’s not incendiary to make false accusations against cops? This is why CNN continues to bleed off viewers unvarnished foolish bias.

Michael Gordon   July 26th, 2009 - 10:10 pm

What a disgrace. However, CNN would be irresponsible to fire this anchor and further fan the flames Obama never should have stoked in the first place. Give him a desk job and sensitivity training.

H-Dawg Gates   July 26th, 2009 - 11:02 pm

THIS IS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE A BLACK MAN IN AMERICA!!! My main homey obama goin’ makes me get all hand shakey and shizz with The Man. Some BullDog yo, playas. Shi’ Be f’ed up man. I’s should be able to say whatevs I want to The Man since my man is more The Man than The Man is. Ain’t dis why we elected a foreign halfie? Shi be f’ed up yo. Fo real.

Bjorn   July 26th, 2009 - 11:57 pm

I agree with he guy who said he wasted 5 minutes watching WHAT??? Are these guys running for office?? Sounded like politician speak. It certainly was not news or even commentary!

The Cops   July 27th, 2009 - 12:06 am

All we are prepared to say today in reference to the Henry Gates situation is this: The man is LUCKY he was black, because if he was white, a taser would have been involved in the conversation at the first sign of talking back. Since we don’t have to worry about white folks whining about us being racist or profiling, we can just pull them over and zap them with a taser if they get too uppity. Minorities have it good, and they don’t even realize it. Course, if we want everyone to be all equal, we would be more than happy to start tasing blacks, latinos, indians, and anyone else we can get our hands on.

Sincerely,
The people who REALLY run things.

Jack Kennedy   July 27th, 2009 - 3:07 am

more media defense of obama by the supposed neutral cnn – and cnn tries to deny their liberal bias and vitriol against the Real Americans

John_Galt   July 27th, 2009 - 3:24 am

Two windbags on a basemen rated network trying to compete for which is more sensitive to the issue. It seems that now after these two mediocre newsmen, Obama and after Gates made their comments, noen of them want to talk about the content of what happened they just want to “ratchet down the rhetoric” – that was started by Gates and perpetuated by Obama. Libs like to make accusations and never be questioned. Now, they are being questioned and the facts are coming out – those facts do not favor Gates and nor by proxy, Obama. So, now they want it all to go away. If the facts were even slightly in their favor they’d still be whining. They want transparency – RELEASE THE TAPES!
