47. Is it so hard to admit that Gates likely did things he shouldn't have done?
And as a result, might have technically broken the law. One that shouldn't have been enforced in this case. Going by Gates' account, he didn't break any laws, but he did do something that I find rather disturbing anyway. He racially profiled the cop. He even admits to this. He assumed that the white cop was after him because the cop was white and he was black. If we're going to see things really heal in these ways in this country, everyone needs to stop assuming that everyone who is unlike them in some way is out to get them.
