Hi. Ms. Rose,
I came across a great article about what a fraud Skip Gates is…it’s kind of lengthy but I thought you may be interested in it. http://www.counterpunch.org/reed07272009.html
Also I don’t know if you are familiar with the blog Whataboutourdaughters but she has a great critique of Gates on her blog too.
I was on the side of Gates, but after reading your blog and both articles it is clear to me that Gates is an opportunist to put it lightly. I have no doubt that he escalated the situation with the officer in order to make a point and get some attention.
He’ll probably turn this into a money making opportunity in the form of a book or some racial profiling documentary.
Anyway thanks again for putting a different perspective out there.
Thanks,
Sarah
