Talk about living under a the shadow of racial fear.

I hope that the young man being so brutally beaten in the video doesn’t generalize based on this experience, adopting a notion of black youths similar to feelings that many inner-city youth have toward cops.

But let’s face it — if this were reversed, there’d be riots and enforced sensitivity training. I’m waiting for someone to say that pointing to the self-evidently racist behavior in this video exploits the racist stereotypes of blacks as bloodthirsty barbarians.

I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t recognize Bob Dylan….I’m pretty sure I’d think he was one of the homeless people who hang out at the library. I’m pretty sure I’d feel the same way about Mary Kate & Ashley. Beside the point, of course.

For example, 68-year old Bob Dylan, in rolling stone fashion, was innocently walking alone in a Long Branch, New Jersey, neighborhood recently. A 20-something police officer thought this was odd, and pulled over to question the suspect. No ID. Support was called in. Neither of the two officers recognized the American icon. Indeed, they apparently had never even heard of Bob Dylan — and so put him in the first squad car to take him back to his hotel to verify whether he was really an entertainer of some sort.

When his story checked out, the officers released him and left. A city official said of Dylan, “He couldn’t have been any nicer to them.” Apparently there were no Dylan rants about whom the police were “messin’” with, no reference to their mothers, no mayoral or gubernatorial editorial, no presidential sermon on police acting stupidly by profiling and putting a man in a police car for simply walking the street.

One wonders what would have happened had Gates acted like Dylan or Dylan like Gates? [emphasis added]

It’s a good thing that the police officer whom Henry Louis Gates, Jr attacked had a squeaky-clean record, or Henry Louis Gates, Jr would have succeeded in ruining the officer’s career. I’m sure that the left would have defended Bob Dylan, too, if he’d have flipped out in a rage against the officers who picked him up. Even so, it’s not to much to act that icons of the radical left treat cops with respect. And does anyone really think that Henry Louis Gates, Jr would have been arrested if he’d been as polite as Bob Dylan was?

The idiot that NPR links to omitted the fact that Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr said to the officer, “I’ll speak to your mama outside” (emphasis added).

Within the black community, those are “fighting words,” and therefore they are disorderly conduct. Moreover, insults to mothers are not protected speech. Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr obviously understood this, because he denied saying “I’ll speak to your mama outside.” Others have rightly scoffed that it is beneath him to use such language, though there are documented instances of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr using of the phrase “You mamma [this]…” or “Your mamma [that]…” in other contexts, in spite of the fact that it is obviously beneath him.

Bottom line: You insult the cops mother, you do the time.

As it happens, best I know, I am not related to Superman. If I were, I would do his temple work.

What’s stopping you now? Is Superman Jewish?

I find it interesting that the term DKL only dates back to prep school. I would have expected it to have its origins in your birth, with some elements dating back even farther. Add this to the fact that you wore monogrammed dress shirts in prep school and I am starting to have a hard time believing in your humanity.

Futhermore, I have no source to confirm that Dee-Kay-El comes from the Adamic Language. It it, however, Hebrew for “I am God.”

You know, you do kind of do your hair like a young Alec Baldwin.
