| Gates 911 Caller Included in Racist Smears |
| 2009-07-30 |
| The woman who dialed 911 to report a possible break-in at the home of black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. said Wednesday that she was pained to be wrongly labeled a racist based on words she never said and that she hoped the recently released recording of the call would put the controversy to rest. Oops! The paper used the race word! Clearly, that makes them racist, too. With a trembling voice, name deleted to protect privacy, which apparently never occurred to the press 40, said she was out walking to lunch in Mr. Gates' Cambridge neighborhood near Harvard University when an elderly woman without a cell phone stopped her because she was concerned there was a possible burglary in progress. Mrs. Whalen was vilified as a racist on blogs after a police report said she described the possible burglars as "two black males with backpacks." What do they call women who hate men? Isn't she sexually profiling? Tapes of the call released earlier this week revealed that Mrs. Whalen did not mention race. When pressed by a dispatcher on whether the men were white, black or Hispanic, she said one of them might have been Hispanic. Might have been Hispanic? Sounds like an abundance of caution. But also racist! "Now that the tapes are out, I hope people can see that I tried to be careful and honest with my words," Mrs. Whalen said. "It never occurred to me that the way I reported what I saw be analyzed by an entire nation." Welcome to Obamacare, Sweetheart. |
