If I see an albino that I don't recognize on my street with a crowbar breaking into a house, I'm calling the cops. I can't see how color has anything to do with what looks like a neighbor's house being broken in to.

The question though, is about Gates' racial accusations of Crowley. Was he justified in calling Crowley a racist for entering his house and asking for ID? Or is he a black man with a chip on his shoulder who tries to make everything about race?
