re: #79 Manfred the Wonder Dog

Gates sounds like a guy doing a cross between one of Chris Rock’s “Keeping the black man down” routines and one of Sharpton’s rants.

Oh, I beg to differ on Chris Rock — because in fact, this all could’ve been avoided had Gates seen this prescient clip from Rock’s comedy show several years ago (strong language and no-beverage-drinking warnings):

I certainly don’t endorse absolutely everything Rock has ever said on race-relation issues, but to his vast credit, he has famously little patience for self-excusing black victimhood hustlers.
