A sad and cowardly act undertaken at the prestigious institution.

 

The Post should hire me! I would have caught that they spelled her last name two different ways....

COME ON, NYP! I'M RIGHT HERE!

 

hell ijag, i'll one-up you: i could have spelled her name two different ways, too.


take that.

 

It would be nice if they, you know, stated what the issue with the other professor was.

The racial issues at Columbia have usually come from the desire of the university to expand and the resistance of the mostly black tenants in nearby buildings (many of which are owned by the school). That issue has been going on the the 60s.

 

"This is an assault on African Americans and therefore it is an assault on every one of us," President Bollinger said in a statement. "I know I speak on behalf of every member of our communities in condemning this horrible action."

However, if a black had done it to a white, it'd be an isolated incident that would be ignored.
I am so sick of the PC talk.
Assault on every one of us. Yeah, ok.

 

But's it's OK to sponsor anti-Semitic speakers? But an alleged incident that's probably a setup or a fraud is the end of civilization?

 

Isn't it ironic, dontcha think?

 

This story can't be accurate. Racial problems exist only in the Deep South, especially Louisiana.

 

"an alleged incident that's probably a setup or a fraud". Wow.

 

You really need to qualify that statement, WhitesChristian Americans of European Ancestory, by and large, have not had to deal with the kind of threats and slights blacks deal with as a matter of course. In many large East Coast cities during the 90's, Asains, particularly Koreans, were targeted for beatings, robberies and arsons by African Americans, by and large. That threatening conduct has now been transfered to Hispanics. Everyday I see, young black males target spanish speaking victims for robberies and beating because they know they can't communicate very well, and are afraid of the courts and police due to immigration issues for themselves or their families. Sikhs, Hindus and many Muslims are targeted by a variety of ethnic Christians for violence. And Christians, both white and black, have demonstrated severe and often violent anti-semitic tendancies over the years.

Due to the history of this country it is fair to consider that African Americans, who are decendants of slavery, are deserving of special regard, but not a the expense of the rights, freedoms and liberities of non blacks. If we won't bend the Constituion for child molestors, rapists and murderers, then certainly African Americans can live within the same framework of civil American society as everyone else. hate speech is speech.
