Daily Voice editor Keith Boykin defends Obama's remarks on Gates

Well, now that the white 'lady' who called the police is now 'devastated' about what has transpired and says she never said it was two black guys as Crowley wrote in his report is opening and seeing a new light on this cop who would never do racial profiling, and, I wonder if the 911 call can be a reason to show he put in a false police report? Nah, won't happen.

King Henry - Behind The Castle Gates

As is my customary habit, I am carefully researching an issue which is making the headlines. This issue is the arrest of Henry Gates out of Harvard. My habit is to make sure my thinking is valid and truthful, and my habit is to well arm myself with truth. There is no greater power than truth, I make sure this power is in my mind and flying off my fingertips while I type.

Here are some well hidden truths about "King Henry" I found coming out of Harvard via a little known critique of Henry Gates from a man who helped to hire Gates and to appoint Gates to a professorship position at Harvard.

These are snippets of comments from Harvard Professor Martin Kilson who is now retired. Kilson is the first black man to earn a full professorship at Harvard where he taught for just over forty years.

I've known Henry Gates as an academic colleague quite well during the past decade of his tenure here at Harvard. I was part of the Afro-American Studies Appointments Committee that selected him in fact....

...I decided to probe Gates' particular style and modus operandi....I discovered two things that I disliked about Gates' intellectual discourse. One was an almost neurotic need to couch discourse on African-American socio-cultural and political patterns in what I call "Black put-down terms,"...Second, much of Henry Gates' discourse on African-American socio-cultural and political patterns exhibits a thoroughly chameleon trait — an almost manic need to produce a discourse on Black realities that migrates between a "Black put-down" or "Black-averse" mode, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, a seemingly redeeming "Black-friendly" mode, though in ultimate essence the redeeming posture is phony.

...What else can explain the unbelievably arrogant irreverence that Henry Gates exhibited at so many levels....

...I've known Henry Gates for a decade and I can say that I watched and probed his "MO" as much as any of his Harvard colleagues have. At the center of Gates' "MO" is a convoluted autocratic component....

...I've kept a respectful distance from Henry Gates' goodies in order to reserve my independence of action. Luckily for me of course, my academic appointment needs and resources needs here at Harvard have not overlapped with "King Gates,"....

So I try to advise my progressive Black intellectual peers especially to be wary of "King Gates" strategic offerings - his fish-hooks, if at all possible.

Remarkable similarities and parallels between the thinking of Henry Gates and the thinking of Barack Obama, yes?

Crowley falsified the police report. What a surprise........not!

Let's hope this finally opens up constructive dialogue about race relations in this country. Unfortunately, some of these issues are festering and aren't being addressed because what happened to Professor Gates happens everyday to African American and Latino men across this country. Since the officer was so experienced, he should have know how to diffuse the situation. (It's called conflict resolution.) Or, did he see a black face and decided the usual procedure of making a arrest just because.

Keith: GREAT JOB! THANK YOU! Crowley falsified the arrest of Professor Gates.

Is that CNN segment available on youtube? Based on the snippets, it seems Boykin hit all of the key points on it's head. Now I need to find this OP ED on the Huffington Post.

This black man is married to a white woman. He has a defensive nature already because he has strayed away from his true identity. He's a black man. Black churches are on every corner. Church folk need to stop all that hooping and hollering and take that emotion to the streets. Church folk need to start collecting black men on the collection plates and not cash. Black men are the "stigma" in our society. Church men need to model manhood and target black men and become "fishers of men". Too many are in jail. We need to stop looking to the government for the answers. Black men are inconsistent because they are not taught discipline in marriage and relationships. Men are producing unstable relationships with his children and with his black woman. In order for black men to be respected and admired by society they need to show that they are worthy first. In the future, we need to see more married black men with one baby mama. Not four children with four different woman and still bragging "I'm single", that is trifling. These are old men. Never been married and going on 50 years old. The black man is not producing good fruit. I'm not a Muslim, but they look like they target men. Muslims put the man in the front. Jesus collected men. Would the real men please stand up and teach a black man how to be a man. Church folk need to take the black men back from the "Bloods" and the "Crips". Black folks go to church every Sunday and can't help one person accept Jesus Christ. Men have a need to be respected. What's up, faith without work is dead. It's time to stop running and "man-up".

As usual, great job Keith.

Keith is an expert on stocks, racial issues or anything else. We need to call him Professor Keith "Gates" Boykin. The only one complaining is the guy who got a arrested and you can't blame that on race. It was Gate's stupid behavior!

Keith! YOU RULE!

Hold up, wait a minute? The 9-11 call was released, but it doesn't sound like we were all listening. The person who "called" said she called for an old lady who was the eye witness. There may have been others who reported what they saw to the police in this case. As for "Two Black Males" all the call did was rule out anyone "White." A crime was in progress called "Breaking and entering." They found the parties involved. There won't be any charges pressed because the person guilty lives in the home. The individual who committed the crime was uncooperative. Words escalated into a national embarassment. Cooperate and graduate. Cooperate and graduate. Pres. Obama weighed in with a bias. There's no defending that. The person we least expected to throw a trash can in "Do the Right Thing" was Mookie. He got caught here.

Cecil, "the individual who committed the crime was uncooperative." Is that an objective analysis?

Based on the reports, Gates eventually gave the officer his ID. Have you seen any reports stating that the officer showed Gates his ID after Gates apparently asked for it? Yet, you consider Gates as the uncooperative "criminal."

Is that being objective or are you the one who is biased here?

Whites will see this one way, blacks see it another. Again, as many other times in the past. We"ll see the same thing and get something totally different.

White reporters are finding other inconsistencies in Crowley’s initial arrest report. Also, Leonard Pitts Jr., a well respected black journalist, wrote today that Gates could not have YELLED anything because he has a severe bronchial infection, although this does not mean Gates was not given Crowley a piece of his mind.

Is Someone Lying in the Gates Case? Just when you thought it was safe to move on, maybe even grab a beer, here comes another question about the Gates Affair. The woman who made the original 911 call, Lucia Whalen, said that she didn’t mention race at all when she reported suspicious activity at Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s house. The 911 tape released by Cambridge police is consistent with Whalen’s account. She is heard to say that she has “no idea” if a break-in is actually taking place, acknowledging that it’s possible that the men she saw “live there and just had a hard time with their key.” Only when the dispatcher asks whether the men are black, white or Hispanic does she say that one of the men looked “kind of Hispanic, but I’m not really sure” and that she really didn’t get a look at the other guy at all. Whalen also said today that when Sgt. James Crowley arrived, she never said anything about anybody’s race. She said that her only exchange with Crowley was to identify herself as the 911 caller, and that he told her to “stay right there.” End of conversation, according to Whalen.

GO KEITH!!!!!!!!

You don't hear anyone stating that Crowley lied a few times in his police report, so will he apolagize to Mrs. Whalen, that he lied, I doubt it. Will the police department explain why so many statements in police report were wrong. UNTIL THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS ACROSS AMERICA START ACKNOWLEDGEING THERE IS SOME PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS KEEP COMING UP. POLICE ASSOCIATION HAVEN'T BEEN BACK ON TV, TO EXPLAIN ABOUT 911 CALLER. SO POLICE DEPARMENTS KEEP ENABLING THEIR PROBLEMS SO IT IS WHAT IT IS!!!!!!!! NOTHING FROM NOTHING LEAVES THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We live in world where there is hate, bigotry, hazing and barbaric practices that are being displayed upon the poor and less fortunate, gays, lesbians and transgenders, single mothers and little old ladies for no other reason than perpetrators’self enjoyment and gain.

This, as a result, regrettably triggers and encourages shootings, suicides and senseless acts of violence.
