A misbehaving child is sent to their room for time to cool down. A misbehaving Black Prof is glorified and that is detestable.
What are we talking about? I think we need to be careful here. There is a difference between what you or the police might call misbehavior and breaking the law. I don't know, at this point, whether Gates's reaction justified his arrest. Maybe you know more than I.
As for Gates's glorification: Seems to me he's being villified plenty too. Just depends on who you listen to.
