Am I the only one who finds Irony in a black Harvard Professor?

and a black President of the United States complaining about racism.

Update:

For those of you questioning the Irony of the situation consider this, You have one black man at the absolute top of our culture and power base and another black man teaching in one of the most prestigious institutions in the world and the statement "This is what happens to Black men in America" is made in a negative context.

    Gates makes his living trumping up racism allegations. Yet far from being oppressed, his skin color has been an affirmative action jackpot for him.

    Irony ??? I do know that birds of a feather flock together.

    Oh by the way! How do you like this flock of birds? Obame/Pelosi/Reed/Kennedy/Biden/Charlie Wrangel/Barney Frank/Barbra Boxer/Hillary Clinton and Judge Sotomayer. On second thought, I am not sure that it is correct to refer to this bunch of vultures as a flock of birds.

    No irony or racism there. Just the police doing their jobs.

    What is it that they're supposed to teach us?
