From BlackVoices.com:

For some people, it’s apparently getting increasingly hard to effectively conceal their racism, especially when it comes to dealing with the media. In a story that has emerged amongst the unavoidable Gates/Crowley fiasco, Cambridge police officer Justin Barrett has somehow managed to put himself in some deep… excrement.

He was put on paid administrative leave after he mass-mailed a racist, bigoted email to the Boston Globe and members of his National Guard unit, in which he continuously referred to professor Henry Louis Gates Jr as a “jungle monkey.”

And just to reiterate how far down his throat he has swallowed his foot, here are some of Barrett’s original statement’s:

“If I was the officer he verbally assaulted like a banana-eating jungle-monkey, I would have sprayed him in the face with OC deserving of his belligerent non-compliance.”

“I am not a racist but I am prejudice towards people who are stupid and pretend to stand up and preach for something they say is freedom but it is merely attention because you do not get enough of it in your little fear-dwelling circle of on-the-bandwagon followers.”

“Gates is a goddamned fool and you the article writer simply a poor follower and maybe worse, a poor writer. Your article title should read CONDUCT UNBECOMING a JUNGLE MONKEY-BACK TO ONE’S ROOTS.”


WATCH:

Boston Police Officer Calls Gates A “Jungle Monkey”, updated July 29, 2009 at 5:52 p.m.

From the Boston Herald:

A Boston police officer allegedly sent a mass e-mail using a disgraceful racial slur in referring to Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., prompting the commissioner to move immediately to fire the cop, the Herald has learned.

Officer Justin Barrett, 36, a two-year veteran assigned to District B-3, was placed on administrative leave pending a termination hearing yesterday afternoon. When a supervisor confronted Barrett about the e-mail – in which he called Gates a “jungle monkey” – he admitted to being the author, according to officials.

Police Commissioner Edward Davis immediately stripped the cop of his gun and badge, according to officials. Barrett, who could not immediately be reached, has no prior disciplinary history.

    Racism is very much alive in 2009! I am happy that they stripped him of his badge and gun! This is the type of idiot that we have on the force who would have likely targeted other black men (racial profiling)and taken his racist attitude out on them!I hope that he gets fired from the force! What he did is not right!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SEDUCTIVE-ANGEL/ SEDUCTIVE-ANGEL

    About time something was done when they are being so blatantly racist. It is a shame that racism is still prevalent here, I don’t think racism will over leave completely because we are surrounded by ignorant and small minded people. So until we realize that we are all the same just a bit of variations in color, than we will never move past it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DigitalBreeze/ DigitalBreeze

    Good thing he sent the email. He would still be a cop today if this never happened. He actually makes President Obama look good by just being a racist cop seeing as though the cop that arrested Gates had such an great record. People were making the other cop out to be the spokesman for police officers like all cops have the same record and cant be racist. I guess he can skip that beer now. F**K DA POLICE! LOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrCooldaddy7/ MrCooldaddy7

    No reason to have a beer. Hell the police officer should be invited and turned down with beer thrown in his face! Still I havent heared black person come out with the same attitude against white person however we are the ones calls racists. How dare glen beck call Obama a racist! This is what the teachable moment is all about: racism still exist and the police wont stop what they are doing and its the truth. Watch how worse Chicago get now since a policy will go in effect this weekend which allows police to shoot motorist if ASSUMED to be felons.

As long as you are in power, it doesn’t matter what people call you…you can call me N****r all you want to..but you must address me as President N****r…and be sure to pay attention as to who signs your paycheck when you say it.

    Question: How do White People define a ‘Racist?’ The Officer in question here says “I’m not a racist.” So again, how EXACTLY do White People define ‘A Racist?’ Obviously our definition doesn’t translate from Jungle Monkey to English very well.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Blac_diamond42/ Blac_diamond42

    Iam so tired of ignorant black people always saying black people are just as racist, it is not about what blacks are at this minute. It’s about a white cop, and a remark he made and it needs to be addressed. Everybody couldn’t be in the house, because master was good at divide, and conquer,as he is today. Power don’t mean anything, when the one controling the power hates you, and there are holes dug to hinder you that when you fall into them you can never get out, and what good is power and land then. I think sometimes blacks forget what it’s like for blacks still living in the south, whom families couldn’t just pack up and move. We have endured alot, life is sometimes hell. I have a beautiful dark complexion child that was ridiculed by white teachers, and they tried their best to label her as a terrorist, i fought hard and prayed constantly and god changed that whole situation around, in the end teachers,even principals lost their jobs, and neighbors black, and white stopped speaking to me, because they involved them selves, and was more evil and comdemning, then the teachers or principals. This is what happens when people want to lynch a person, or persons, remind you of sheets in the night. It’s like i said people lay traps, that are hard to get out of unless you know the right people. It aint always what you know, but who you know, A white school superintendent came to my rescue no one black in power cared enough, and iam greatful to him. Black people please stop hatin on each other to the point we forget it could have been us, receiving the backlash, and if the shoe was on the other foot, maybe we did deserve it!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TweetyG/ TweetyG

    He is suspended “with pay”; he should be suspended “without” pay!! Like white folks are saying Michael Vick shouldnt be getting “all that money”; they worship money so if you really want to hurt them take away his pay. He works in district B-3, a Black neighborhood in Boston. Let him go back out on the streets with that “Jungle Monkey” stuff and see how long his “non-racist” butt last!!! He should have been fired immediately!!! In the Skip Gates case they say he should have respected the officer. This is exactly why they get NO RESPECT… because most of them are punks with badges and guns.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Annunaki40/ Annunaki40

    It is as I have said all along, Just give them enough time and the freaks, the klan, and everything else that has to do with the Hatred of Blacks for no reason at all. This fool has only lent credence to the out of proportion rhetoric that is going on now in Cambridge.
    This is my reason for thinking that they did not wish for the White Cops to speak, because pound for pound and nationwide 68% of the WHITE RACIST Cops are hiding behind those badges and it is only a matter of time before their SINS find them out, I rest my case and I still say this and will not believe otherwise, because the WHITE Portuguese, Lady has spoken up and she does not have olive skin like What Wendy Murphy said she has (dam near as white as she is), Now when will the COP come out and speak to the veracity of the Police Report or is it Falsified also. I would like to believe so, or this Woman is lying and I kind of suspect that to.
    Either way the Chickens come home to roost

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/VirtuousBeauty84/ VirtuousBeauty84

    I will say this much at least someone is moving to get rid of the man that wrote this email. That much we can say however I will also add this. I come from a family whose heritage is mixed and multicultural just like many people on here. My grandmother personally knew MLK Jr., is sorors with Coretta Scott King and Rose Parks, and also my grandfather was killed by a KKK member in his own front yard. With all that being said, what happened to the Harvard professor is unfortunate and could have been racially related, NO ONE KNOWS. The only person that knows the racial component is the officer unless there were obvious statements made that related to race. We have a black president so please just shut up about race for a while damn. Every little issue is not a national call for a racial uproar about what happened. Every who is getting so sensitive about something this tiny is not looking at our big issues at hand for example the recession. Leave race alone it has been run into the ground. Pulling the race card is not a valid excuse for anything. This is not an issue worth all this continued discussion.

    dont tell me that you are always treated well by black than by white person?
    As long as you dont show that attitude against the white peeps, 90% of them will not have a problem with you, they will respect you without seing the color. and those 10% you just have to ignore, its not worth it. Life is too short.

    Start spending your time on positive things in life…be around positive people and you will see how awarding that is.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/onyxlvr/ onyxlvr

    What is referred to as a weak apology is complimemtary at best for carefully constructed reactive comments placed on a teleprompter or que cards to be read only after being suspended pending imminent termination. Moreover, If the comments were made verbally as a result of his rage, he may have cause for seeking diversity training or some form of psychological intervention or counseling due to some form of bi-polar diagnosis. Reassignment and relinquishing his weapon to become a meter maid might be a considerable option or remedy. However, in this particular case, his inflammatory comments were well thought out, conciously written and e-mailed to the Boston Globe and members of his National Guard unit in response to the article which gives rise to a true blueprint of his character. His comments or response to the article were not reflective of the stressful conditions under which cops have to perform their duties albeit evident. They were insidious and definitive of an attitude and doc**ented facts that affirms racial profiling, use of excessive force to include unsubstantial charges and incarcerations that have historically plagued our collective disproportionately in this country since the beginning of our journey here. I fear that it will only get worse as the recession deepens. More bigots will be sworn in to protect and serve (their own) and put on the street to shield the economic interests of corporate america in the name of “just us” while your constitutional rights are eliminated. Remember….its not personal….its business. The fact that we have a Black president is of no consequence.

    This is exactly why “reverse discrimination” is nothing more than a resentment fueled distraction from real discrimination. Some use the fact that we have a black president as an excuse to conveniently overlook the
    fact that racial double standards are still alive and well.

    Recent social progress shows that many whites who have now had a non-segregated fair chance to interact with blacks; are starting to see through all the lies that once propped up and justified such barbaric and
    hypocritical practices of early “civilization” (slavery, sanctioned illiteracy, and generations of negative propaganda intended to encourage discrimination by whites and low self-esteem in blacks).

    Had the professor not been black, people would have been outraged that a situation that may have started out as a misunderstanding was allowed to escalate to the point of being punished for trying to get into one’s own home. Regardless of your race, would you think you were “making trouble” by trying to get into your own home? I noticed that the ex-policeman’s statement arrogantly and self-righteously danced around direct apology and was prefaced by “I’m not a racist”. Self-important, self-justifying, self-forgiving, inconsiderate hypocrisy. And I’ll bet if he experienced the same thing at the hands of a black officer, he’d be the first to cry “reverse discrimination”. Also, I’m sure the black officer wouldn’t get an appearance on the Larry King Show. By the way, an equally important story that was dwarfed by this development was yet another dragging death of a black man in Texas. Starting to see a pattern?

    lol jungle monkey. Some people are so silly. I bet you that negro has never been to a jungle in his life. What is up with these comments? “Go back to Africa.” Most black people I know have never been to Africa in their lives. “Jungle Monkey” They never been to a jungle either. I guess if you have to call a black person a monkey it’ll probably be more appropriate to call us…Mall Monkey…Club Monkey…Apple store Monkey…Library Monkey…IDK… Silly people! He should have been fired (only because his position requires him to deal with a diverse group of people fairly and his comments demonstrate that he may not be bale to do that). But it should have been quiet no media exposure. It is no surprise that some people will judge people and treat people negativly based ont he color of their skin. But in my opinion that negitivity should not be given one iota of public attention. Attention from the public keeps it alive… Let racisim die and promote peace!

    People, don’t think because we have a black man as president, that racism doesn’t exist. Until we as humans come to the table and stop trying to sugar coat what’s going on, racism will continue. It sickens me that in 2009 we still have to deal with this b.s.. This goes for both sides, because I’ve heard some black people say some horrible stuff. We as humans will never move forward as long as we hide behind racism. When will we realize that we are all apart of one race and that is the human race. God created us all, we as humans created this sickness called racism.

    Words that harsh came from somewhere deep within in. He didn’t just make belligerent statements…one of those statements included a desire to commit a violent act (would have spray with OC). You can’t just forget that type of statement from someone in a position of power – and these type people are who we have to rely upon to protect us and be fair. Consider this at an accident scene or a crime scene – is this type person going to be fair…or are you automatically at fault as an African American. The really interesting part is that he believes he’s not a racist, after referring to to an African American as a “Jungle Monkey”.

    I don’t believe or accept his apology. He is a racist, who is now only protecting his image and career. This just goes to show that we as African American don’t realize the real threat and danger lurking in this country. We better learn to open our eyes and teach our children what really exist out there, irregardless of their attempt to turn it around on us and call is reverse-racism. I call it staying aware!

    RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSTTTTTTT! And a liar. You can tell he had some s**t already written probably from his lawyer. This was not heartfelt at all and seems like he still feels deep down that he said nothin wrong. Lied when asked if he’s ever said those type of words or statements before and his answer was no. That’s a damn lie. he was asked, then where do you think that type of talk came from, and he said he didn’t know, I’ll answer for him…the soul. And in his soul he is a true racist. This is MOST of our police people…

    You meant what you said or it would not have came out of your f***** mouth. After you say what you really mean you realized what could be lost in your career. That’s the only reason you are f***** speaking out. If it came out your mouth once it has been coming out your mouth your whole damn life. Your a RACIST OFFICER and in your interview you paused when asked have you ever said it before. Your a RACIST I think you should be fired no doubt about it. It is police like you the reason I have no RESPECT for police officers in any state. The ones like you it shows on your face that your a RACIST. And your a danger having weapons and a badge to back you up as a CERTIFIED RACIST officer.

    THIS A SAD DAY FOR ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN THIS COUNTRY BUT NOT ALL OFFICERS ARE RACIST. THIS IS ONE OFFICER THAT SAID A STUPID COMMENT IN RAGE AND ANGER. HE IS A DANGER TO THE COMMUNITY. ARE WE GOING TO WAIT TILL THIS OFFICER MAKES ANOTHER BRAIN DEAD ACTION BY KILLING A INNOCENT PERSON BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE? BEFORE WE SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH HE SHOULD BE TERMINATED ON BEHALF OF ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THIS COUNTRY,THE ONES THAT ARE BUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE EVERY DAY TO PROTECT AND SERVE WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

    This guy is such a raging racist that he made incendiary comments via mass media over something that didn’t involve him or his agency, opening the door for a lawsuit to the city, police and himself and going to lose a law enforcement job with the oldest police department in the country, how did he pass the psych test. And there are others out there just like him, they boil over as minorities gain prominence and their numbers grow. You never ever hear of minority officers or people in power ranting like this. It’s never an unarmed white person accidently shot by minority officers, it’s racist cops like this who are afraid and won’t hesitate to impose force on someone they deem as less than them. Firing this guy is the least of his worries, betcha he gets another law enforcement job.

    Officer Justin Barrett is the type of officers some of us – civil rights attorneys – on the front-lines faced almost everyday. Then, when his type comes to court – police court, or federal court – he will lie himself pink. This guy is extremely dangerous. I am talking about his anger alone here, not his pathetic racial tone. With anger, is how most of them approach their work. They have power, and they often abuse it.
