Prominent Black Scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Arrested After Racism Charge
Prominent Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after an incident with police responding to a call about someone apparently trying to break into his Cambridge, Mass., home.
Gates, who according to his lawyer, had been trying to force open a jammed door, was inside the house when the Cambridge police officer got there.
He allegedly responded to the officer's request for identification by shouting, "Why, because I am a black man in America?" and calling him a racist.
Though Gates eventually identified himself, he was arrested after he allegedly came out of the house and continued yelling at police, even after he was warned that he "was becoming disorderly," according to the police report.
Gates, 58, is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 26.
Gates, the director of Harvard's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research, and former host of the PBS show "African American Lives," had just returned from a trip to China and found the front door of his home jammed, according to his Harvard colleague and attorney Charles Ogletree.
He entered the house through the back door, but then tried to get the front door open so he could bring his luggage in, which may have been when the woman who called 911 saw, Ogletree said.
Gates has declined to discuss the incident, but Al Sharpton, who spoke to the Harvard professor, told ABC News that Gates is "clearly upset and in a state of disbelief."

BEHIND THE SCENES: Chrisette Michele's "What You Do" Video
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
Guess Who's Bizack!
We talkin' about real shit or we talkin' about rhymes
Y'all talkin' about millions or y'all just talkin' about mines
What we talkin' about? 'Cause I ain't got time
For what people be talkin' about all the time
What we talkin' about fiction or we talkin' about fact?
We talkin' about fiction, hold up, pardon my back
We talkin' about life and all I hear is, "Oh yeah he keeps talkin' about crack."
I ain't talkin' about profit
I'm talkin' about pain
I'm talkin' about despair
I'm talkin' about shame
I ain't talkin' about gossip
I ain't talkin' about Game
I ain't talkin' about Jimmy
I ain't talkin' about Dame
I'm talkin' about real shit, them people playin'
What is you talkin' about? I don't know what y'all sayin'
People keep talkin about Hov take it back
I'm doin' better than before, why would I do that?
Ain't nothin' cool about carryin' a strap, about worryin' your moms and buryin' your best cat
Talkin' about revenge, while you carryin' his casket, all teary-eyed about to take it to a mattress.
I'm talkin' about music, I ain't talkin' about rap
Y'all talkin' about who's hot, I ain't talkin' about that
The conversation has changed, let's yap about that
I don't run rap no more, I run the map
A small part of the reason the President is Black
I told him I got him when he hit me on the jack
I'm talkin' about progress, I ain't lookin' back
You know I run track, try not to get lapped
People keep talkin' about Hov left 'em flat
Trying to rewrite history, let's talk about facts
Dame made millions, even Jaz made some scraps
He coulda made more but he ain't sign his contract
And as far as street guys, I mean we was dealin' crack.
That's how the game goes, I don't owe nobody jack
Grown men, want me to sit 'em on my lap
But I don't have a beard and Santa Claus ain't Black

MA$E Making a Comeback
During an interview with DJ Self of New York's Power 105.1 radio station (WWPR-FM) on Friday (June 26), former Bad Boy artist Mase not only aired a remix to Drake's "Best I Ever Had," his first release in five years, but he also said Michael Jackson's death is what inspired his return to music after an extended hiatus.
"Mike passed away and it just lit the fire in me -- it made me go in the studio and do something. I'm excited," the Harlem-born rapper said. "I asked my nephew who is the hottest thing out there and he said "Drake!' When I listened to his music I said, 'I'm going to jump on this joint.'"
When asked if his fans should consider this his official comeback, Mase hinted, "I've got things up my sleeves, I just need someone to play them." He also went on to shout-out former label boss Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, and friends-turned-nemeses-turned-friends-again, rappers Jim Jones and Cam'ron. The acknowledgment led to an on-air phone call from Jones himself, during which he apologized to Mase "for anything I ever did when I was younger. I tip my hat to you. This is monumental and it's nothing but love."
Shortly before releasing his sophomore album, 1999's "Double Up," which sold 425,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen Soundscan, Mase announced his retiring from music during an interview with New York's Hot 97 (WQHT) DJ Funk Master Flex, stating his plans to "follow God". However, in 2004, he made a brief return with a new album appropriately titled "Welcome Back," released on Bad Boy. That album moved 559,000.
In 2005, Mase had a short-lived stint with 50 Cent's G-Unit click, but nothing materialized from that affiliation.
To date, Mase's biggest-selling album remains his debut, "Harlem World," with 3.3 million units sold.
