Gates is an example of crying Wolf when there was none. And another favorite of mine, Spike Lee.

I sincerely hope you do not support affirmative action.

Racism is a human flaw. Just as some white people may be racist, so can African Americans.


Not everyone is as sensitive as you.
Why don't you think what happened to Henry Louis Gates Jr. was racist? Why do you think Spike Lee cried wolf?

I know that racism exists. The only racism I saw, before I was 18, was racism against whites. I could have taken the philosophy that it was all right, that it didn't matter, that racism should be ignored.

I didn't, simply because it's wrong.
