The Gates Rant

If the "Gates Incident" had of involved Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams we would never have heard anything about it.  They would have thanked the officer for responding to the 911 call and apologized for the inconvenience.  But, Gates is an angry radical racial activist.  A large number, but not all, blacks are angry they were not born white.  They take every opportunity, however small, to hurl the racial epithet at any convenient white person, especially law officers.  I don't know what kind of satisfaction they get from it, but they would do much better to put their racial biases behind them and do their very best to take advantage of the opportunities afforded to them to make the most of their lives to the best of their abilities.

I once managed a group of computer professionals when employed by a major oil company.  I had several black people in my group.  They were fine intelligent hard working respectful people.  However, I had one black woman that was a loud-mouth activist.  She did not see her job as an opportunity to advance herself, rather she saw it as a platform from which to espouse her radical racial views and to hurl racial taunts and accusations at her superiors. Needlessly to say, it took a while to build a case, but I eventually was able to move her out.
