Henry. Louis. Gates.

Let me put it this way: When you see a *black man* in Cambridge trying to force his way into a house, you know damn good and well what he's doing.

All joking aside, I looked this movie up as soon as I heard about that crap! Obama was right to call the police "stupid." But then, like a total chicken****, he took it back when he realized that it might offend some registered voters.

I'd love to see CNN show Andrew Sterling's somber monologue (I forget how it goes) during prime time right before showing more footage of this incident. But, alas, in two weeks everyone will have forgotten all about it.

So did I, dude. So did I.

The similarities are eerie!

Nope. Virtually no similarities. Gates was arrested because when he was politely questioned by the police, who were asking why he was climbing in a window, he verbally harassed them and refused to produce identification proving he owned the residence. Sammy Jackson's character in this film was an innocent victim, Gates was a pompous dick who deserved to get arrested (and could easily have avoided being arrested had he acted in a civil manner).

I have to agree with others that I thought of that incident as well when I first watched this movie tonight.

I tried that link. It is just a blank page.
