Anonymous letter from Berkeley history professor rips BLM narrative

[hwyflier]

You guys promote an “anonymous” letter from an unverified twitter account promoting a blog that says what you want to hear.

What did I get wrong? Why wouldn’t I laugh at that?

That quote tipped me off.

It killed everything in that letter for me.

Right.

Sometimes truth hurts.

Yes, truths told by a Berkeley professor that doesn’t exist.
Zero shame.

Must not have tenure. But you know it will be dismissed because it is anonymous.

Of course.

We’ve been told here on an almost daily basis that anonymous sources aren’t reliable.

@Guvnah

Oh cool. An asserted majority of a significant minority.

And?

@Guvnah

Shot down”, because it doesn’t match your narrative of anger and hatred. Spoken by an uncle tom who dared step out of line because she doesn’t carry the burden of that fabricated chip on her shoulder.

She just isn’t smart… being conservative doesn’t mean you aren’t smart. She is a terrible representation of what a black conservative can be.

@Guvnah

Majority? Got a link?

Let me look for a “do you like Candace Owens” poll. Her ideas are “conservative” so off the bat she only has at best 10% support.

@Camp

The messenger has been attacked sufficiently.

How about the material?

A major part of assessing content is the author and any bias or motivation they might have. An anonymous 4chan post does not allow either of those things.

You can fact check and analyze 4chan posts all you want. I don’t. I don’t care how special and insightful people might thank it is. Same reason I don’t fact check and analyze National Enquirer articles.

this isnt a source of news

walk it off

[CanadianJudo]

There are threee black professors of history at the school none of their past work relates to this letter in anyway.

[AngraMainyu]

Read the thread. Surely you can do it better than those “inner city blacks”.

[Camp]

It’s an opinion.

@PurpnGold

A professor black history professor at Berkeley didn’t write this.

You don’t know that.

@Guvnah

Right.

You actually believe that garbage quote?

“. . . MLK would likely be called an Uncle Tom if he spoke on our campus today .“

thanks for your opinion

[WuWei]

@PurpnGold

Yea… he didn’t write it.

You don’t know that either.

[PurpnGold]

@WuWei

You don’t know that.

Yes we do. We did research and stuff.

[zantax]

First, appeals to authority are useless, second, not even a proven authority.

[Camp]

They aren’t claiming Bigfoot or UFO.

That’s an odd distinction.

One not used when TRUMP supporters dissed “Anonymous” who has written several opinion pieces (read…NOT NEWS) of Trump.

No you don’t. You did assumptions and stuff.
