Black professor sucker punches white woman in face over debate about race

All I'm saying it is very rare that someone who hasn't been charged of any crime or there's no evidedence that he/she committed any crime and simply talks back to police gets arrested.

 

it's alot more constructive and courageous than this

 

like I said, if there becomes an epidemic of black professors punching white women, we'll discuss it.

 

really, how am I the leader. as a matter of fact, go to that thread and show how I lead the charge of the cop being racist

KTHXBYE

 

If we are debating whether this story is worth having a thread I'm going to come down firmly on yes it is because it is an unusual situation and as worthy as a lot of stories we see threads started on. Even if it didn't involve a black man and a white woman a Columbia Architecture Professor punching a woman and a co-worker in a bar seems to me as something that is interesting enough to have a thread. At the minimum it was worthy of Hangout.

The other part though is whether there is something controversial to debate. I didn't think so at first but as this thread has evolved I think there is something here. A few posters have said that this incident doesn't really matter essentially because black on white racism isn't important. Now I think that is a fairly controversial statement worthy of debate.

What has happened though I think is that this thread has devolved into tribal whining that some posters feel they are being bullied by other posters. My advice for what its worth is rather than talking about whose side supports what is to debate the issue at hand than complain about tribalism in the D & D.

 

I am gonna go out on a limb and say because there wasn't racism involved. In the Oregon RB's case, he said himself he did not hear what the DT said to him and he was just pissed and the guy hit his shoulder pad. So, you can automatically throw race out of that one.

In the Gates case the only person to cry racism was Gates. The black officer on site said he would have arrested him too. He thought he was above the law and got arrested. He played the race card, got the President to jump on his bandwagon and got the charges dropped. The only racist in that episode was Gates. He used the race card to cover up his juvenile, above the law behavior.

Ask yourself this. If it would have really been a break-in by a white person and the cops showed up and let him go without checking ID, do you think Gates would have still screamed racism? He absolutely would have. He would have made the exact opposite argument, about how can you not check an ID. You only let him go because he was white and now my belongings are gone and my house is trashed. He just wouldn't have got as much pub. Which of the 2 scenario's is the cop actually wrong in? He is only wrong in the second opposite scenario, because he didn't do his job. The cop was absolutely right in the actual event that took place.

 

Yeah, if someone only murders 1 guy, don't do after him until he kills tons of people.

Did you even read my post?

people on this site are saying that blacks being racists against white is insignificant while racism against blacks has to be dealt with.

 

first of all, how is this story about racism, its about an idiot who got drunk in a an argument about race

second of all, who on this site said that, you guys are reaching

 

Wonder if he's related to this guy

 

I am talking about how you bring race into almost every thread. You pull out the race card all the time, even when the usual suspects don't get how you can connect it to the debate.

 

go read the post by franchise blade a few pages back. It was the single stupidest post I have ever seen on this site

 

Wait, so where is the part where you show how assault in the OP was clearly racist?

 

I wasn't even claiming race in the gates thread, my only argument was that being a jerk doesn't give a cop a right to arrest you. my first comment in that thread was the neighbors should get to know each other.

yeah, i argue about race, on race related topics. but thanks for making this personal though, believe me, I'm not the one with the hang ups

 

Actually he got the charges dropped because there wasn't anything to charge him with. Talking back to a cop isn't against the law.

 

He wasn't saying that only white-on-black acts of racism matter. He was saying that racism is determined in a context of power relations. Your refusal to understand even the basic realities of race relations in America make you look stupid, not FB.

 

This is my only point. Why is it you debate race at all cost on here all the time, but when a black person is the offender it isn't worth talking about? This should be right up your alley. Just goes to show you have an agenda, and dismiss anything that doesn't fit it. the fact you say this isn't worth talking about just shows your hypocracy on the whole racial issue.

 

Just my two cents here. Without knowing more we can't say for sure this was a racist attack, it just as likely could've been sexism too (something no one has discussed yet.)

From what little we know my guess is that since this was something that they had argued about before and the subject matter, including the comment by the other guy that the prof. took a swing at, that the prof might not hate white people in general but felt that the women as a white couldn't fully appreciate the point of view of blacks. He attacked her not just because she disagreed with him but also because she was a white who disagreed and as such one who benefitted from white privelage.

 

He does, he does, and black nannies too whom his kids adore and love but only if they're aren't too black in complexion.
