Harvard University’s Henry Louis Gates Jr., director of the W.E.B. DuBois Institute for African & African American Studies, was arrested July 16 on a charge of disorderly conduct.
Gates, 58, a resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Harvard’s main campus is located, was arrested after “exhibiting loud and tumultuous behavior,” according to a report on the Cambridge Police Department’s Web site. Cambridge police officials declined to comment and said the case was under investigation by Office of the Middlesex District Attorney. A call to the DA’s office wasn’t immediately returned.

i had to vote that this was a racist move because it only gave you 2 choices it didnt give yes or no to other choices like a clash of egos or whether the officer acted stupidly or just couldnt stand the fact that another african man had AHIEVED SO MUCH IN LIFE OR IF HE WAS JUST PLAIN HATING. IF THOSE CHOICES WERE GIVEN I WOULD HAVE HAD TO SAY AT THIS POINT AND TIME THIS WAS A CLASH OF EGOS
