Ten Questions To Ponder Regarding the Gates Case
I wasn't going to write about this because there have been a glut of comments on the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. by people far more qualified than I--including the president of the United States. But I do have a few questions that I'd like some help answering.

Please pass this link to as many people (especially white people) that you know. I really want some answers. The only way we're going to understand one another is through communicating. Maybe I'm not seeing this clearly. I am open to being educated.
