fuster,

I didn’t major or minor in English or History, nor did I subsequently devote my life to African American related matters. I am not a professor, and haven’t received 49 (or even one) honorary degrees. Were you assuming there would be something pertinent to compare? Perhaps you meant contrast? Either way, I don’t see the reason for your request, but thank you for asking.

And now your acting just like him. You can’t see yourself acting like the jerk he was, because you think you’re right and everyone else is wrong. All of us here almost can’t wait for the next piece of drivel and excuse you come up with when you post.

The STORY was about Gates “thinking” he’s privileged “because” of his college background and job, further enforced by the color of his skin. That’s it. Nothing more. And the funny catch of the story “wondering” if that’s what his parents taught him.

But you keep bring all sorts of other stuff that nobody else brings up but you, so you can then argue about it when you get called on it. Red Herring much? But then we don’t even have to ask that, because just going over everything you post here (and probably other sites you post on too), are filled with it.

Dave, you’re fun. I agree that Gates initially and blindly invoked race.
That’s why I say that you’re all wet in saying that Gates feels privileged.
Now read my previous comment again and see if you can now understand it.

Wrong fuster, HE’S the one that pulled the RACE card FIRST, not the cop. The Cop was doing his job, and from everything I’ve read, listened to and researched, he’s lucky the cop didn’t haul is ass off to jail SOONER. The Cop WAS giving him the benefit of doubt, but Gates “privileged” attitude couldn’t handle the cop “not knowing who he was”.

And that doesn’t give him the right, no MATTER what his education, job, skin color, religion or sexual preference – to “think” he’s better than ANYONE else, let alone a white cop.

Gee, Dave, I thought that his accusation of the cop acting against him because of his race tends to show that Gates thinks that ultimately his work and attendant social status will never overcome the fact that his race debars him from ever being, or really feeling, privileged.
Too simple?

Acting un-civil is a FAR cry from being a pompous jackass who thinks he’s better than everyone else – especially the police – because he THINKS he privileged, not that he “IS” privileged. /sigh

Again, fuster, you are still purposely missing the point. And yes you are doing it on purpose to try and cloud the point, you do it in every comment you post in.

I’ll explain it real simple for you – BECAUSE Gates went to all the “elite” schools and now teaches at an “elite” school – he “THINKS” he special – i.e. privileged.

Is that simple enough for you to understand? It has NOTHING to do with his academic record or the grades he got on a thesis. It’s his ATTITUDE, not his book learning, and that he’s “friends” with the current Pres. that makes us refer to his attitude of “privileged” – because he DOES think he himself IS.

Dave “He, and others like him…”

Sure, others like him, but what does that prove?
There’s no clue there.

Still, can’t understand how some silly twit can write that Gates is “privileged” rather than some old crackpot who’s earned his way through life without learning how to act well.

Again fuster – THEY DON’T and THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT!!!

He, and others like him – THINK it does! I mean really fuster, get a clue.

Tell me how his academic record reflects racial preference or how English is a boutique discipline?

How in any way is he “privileged” and not reaping the rewards of his studies?
