Why Obama and Gates Are Such Good Friends

In 1994, Henry Louis Gates had a conversation in which he stated how happy he and his mother were when then first heard Malcolm X talking about the white man being the devil. And he said that his mother "hated white people" (like mother like son). From Gateway Pundit.

It's no wonder Gates and Obama and such good friends. Does anyone still believe that Obama really didn't hear Jeremiah Wright preaching racial warfare for 20 years?
