Dr. Gates does make a living from past abuse of blacks but he is honest about facts such as a fair number of blacks owned slaves. Slavery is not a racial issue, it’s an economic and man’s inhumanity to man issue.
I don’t understand why it was so necessary for the son -in-law to check the “Black box” when Dr. Gates is married to a white woman, his daughter looks white (according to online photos), and he stated that he grand daughter looks like a white girl. Many interracial children who can pass for white are likely not want to check the “Black box” if she could choose herself (just like in the early days) given the amount of hardships and trauma that come with being Black. I certainly respect his work, but when Black men can only find love and success via white women sends a conflicting message as far as I am concerned. Why would the son-in-law be obligated to check the “Black box” anyway??? Because of the “one-drop” rule?
I’m here because of Joe. Beautiful speech. Dr. Gates always amazing!
Dr Gates is a national treasure ❤👏🏽
Best session I've seen at Aspen.
Dr. Gates is the best dressed man on TV.
Who is more cruel? Germans, Turks, or Kurds?
