Niall Of The Nine Hostages: Henry Louis Gates And Sgt. James Crowley Are Related

Henry Louis Gates is “related” to Sergeant Jim Crowley of Cambridge, Massachusetts who arrested Gates two weeks ago for being black at home. It’s the end of a Hollywood film about race relations! Because now we know we are all brothers under the skin and Crowley can’t be a racist. Never mind that, “Millions of Irish Americas, especially those in New York, may be descended from Nial of the Nine Hostages, the most prolific warrior in Irish history.” Gates discovered his relation to the king during one of his many PBS documentaries about his heritage. And Crowley’s genealogy was determined by some reporters with too much time on their hands. We’re officially sick of anything to do with this story that does not focus on the fact that Henry Louis Gates was racially profiled in his own home. Including Colon Powell telling Larry King last night that Gates should have been a “Yassir,” saying Uncle Tom.
