Misinformation is harder to correct than lack of information, particularly when it comes to political views. Underfunded and misguided educational systems, Faux News, etc. have provided a wealth of misinformation, to which Trump supporters have latched facts be damned.

You don’t recognize rhetoric?
Took him in? He was born in the United States of America.
What is “white slavery” if not simply slavery?
I don’t have a problem with people asking questions; I do have a problem with white people giving completely uninformed opinions on topics that are culturally sensitive. If you are a member of the dominant group and the issue at hand is offensive to those in the minority group, your opinion - as a member of the…
Sure, you can interpret my comment that way if makes you feel more comfortable/superior or you could learn something. People who sit in a position of privilege as members of the dominant culture - i.e. the culture not being appropriated, - who actually want to learn more should start a discussion on cultural…
Oh, aren’t you a clever one? Your attempt at humor just adds to the frustration POC feel when discussing these issues. Like the OP, you are not so much interested in learning as you are hearing yourself speak. If OP had simply asked questions - instead of stating uninformed opinions at the onset - perhaps OP would…
No, just pointing out that the two issues exist simultaneously. In this case, he is wrong and the university is wrong.
Why are you people arguing with me? Where did I opine that the punishment should be lax for all? If you commit X offense, you get X punishment irrespective of the color of your skin. That in practice means give harsher punishments for white people - i.e., give them the same punishment you give to people of color for…
“I realize that my take on these issues may be based on my own inability to understand the intricacies of this matter ...”
Just let it go? Are you white?
I’m still not getting how yours was a response to what I said. You are agreeing with me in substance yet arguing with me for what reason?
I think the argument goes racial discrimination led to the initial punishment, including the 10% reduction in salary, and the launch of a second investigation following the victim’s filing of a lawsuit against the university. And his evidence consists of past cases in which white professors and administrators received…
I think you meant to direct this response to BookBoy.
But it’s not a defense to the sexual harassment investigation; it is a separate lawsuit.
Do you think anyone here is afraid of you? You need to grow the fuck up. You are acting like a spoiled little boy. Who hurt you?
Le sigh. Have a nice day.
Why do you hate women?
He also tried to sexually shame her. Do you have a problem with that?
I’m not sure I understand these comments. Why can’t both - sexual harassment by him and racism by Cornell - exist simultaneously? These two are not mutually exclusive at all so what is the joke?
