Bottom line is Gates got arrested for being an a$$, and the cop overstepped his boundaries to prove a point by arresting him and being an a$$ himself. Both are wrong. Gates pulled the race card, he should have realized that a person of any color could theoretically get falsely arrested by a$$ cops too, especially when aggrivating said a$$ cops. It doesn't mean the cop's racist, just that he's vengeful against a-hats he encounters in his work (Still something that he should get repremended for).
As for Gates, if we really and truly reach the level of a 'colorblind' society, he's out of a job, out of prestige, and has to do something else of value to society. Something tells me that's not the kind of life Gates wants to live.
