This is probably not how Henry Louis Gates wants to move on from his arrest that occurred last week.
A foundation created and run by Gates is amending its 2007 tax return after an investigation showed that some funds that were initially characterized as “research grants” were, in fact, compensation. This little whoopsie increased the administrative costs of the foundation to 40% of the spending, up from 1%, which some might say, is a lot.
All it probably adds up to is another headache for a man who is probably most annoyed that his last name is one letter away from being exactly the same as the suffix applied to every scandal that has ever occurred in this country since the early 1970s.

Yo momma increased 40%.
this post is RACIST!
someone get Elie, stat. he needs to expose this web of lies.
hope you can sleep at night, cracker.
When applied to organizations headed by prominent African-Americans, taxes are obviously racist. Whoever called attention to this should go to jail. This is just what happens to a black man in America.

“Now, I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts what role race played in that, but I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry. Number two, that the IRS acted stupidly in auditing somebody when there was already proof that they were running their own foundation and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans (like Wesley Snipes) and Latinos being audited by the IRS disproportionately. And that’s just a fact.”

Dear Editor:
The answer is yes, you do get more traffic to a story when you plug it in ATL.
If you are going to thrust yourself into the national spotlight with incindiary charges and inflamatory rhetoric, your house had better be in order. Gates brought the spotlight on himself,so don’t cry too many tears for him.
The racist in our country are the ones who are most concerned with race. I have never met a black man or woman who did not focus on race either personally or as a topic of conversation. Now all the white guys need to start saying when they get bad service at a restaurant or someone cuts them off on the road. Damn you doing dis cause i’m black. When the answer is NO, there are servers who give bad service. There are A holes driving on our roads. NOT EVERYTHING has to do with the color of skin. If Whites were all racist then how did Obama win? Black people need to embrace the color of their skin & if they have a problem with it. Don’t Blame Whitey! Blame God. OK.
