@AngraMainyu

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

you gonna make this personal now?

[CanadianJudo]

which of the three people do you think wrote it?

@Camp

They aren’t claiming Bigfoot or UFO.

UFO’s are totally real, people really do see stuff in the sky and don’t know what it is.

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.

this isnt a source of news

walk it off

That’s an odd distinction.

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

I have no idea. I don’t know if there are only three. We’ve gone from one to three in a matter of minutes.

You don’t know that.

Yes we do. We did research and stuff.

You do know all staff are listed on the school website right?

Well, showing that one them is anti colonial doesn’t seal the deal that they didn’t write it. Totally different subject. Neither does that they all signed a letter of support for BLM given their professed fear of reprisal.

@WuWei

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

No you can actually go to the faculty page and research this.

@mwevans1234

I hope you appreciate the frustration behind this message. I do not support BLM. I do not support the Democrat grievance agenda and the Party’s uncontested capture of our department. I do not support the Party co-opting my race, as Biden recently did in his disturbing interview, claiming that voting Democrat and being black are isomorphic.

So this was written by a black history professor from UC Berkeley?

There are three, according to the Berkeley history department’s faculty site:

Current Faculty | Department of History

Candidate 1: Stephanie Jones Rodgers

The Berkeley Blog – 27 Jul 17

Police shootings: How many more must perish before we see justice?

One year to the day that Dylann Roof murdered nine African Americans in Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina, a jury exonerated Jeronimo Yanez, the police officer who shot and killed…

Candidate 2: Tabitha Kanogo

The conflicts inherent in the squatter-settler relationship can be seen in their true perspective only within the context of the essentially brutal and exploitative relationship of colonialism. In Kenya, this was expressed by a dominant settler community which was heavily backed by the state. Uprooted from their areas of origin, the squatters felt the loss of their dignity and economic independence particularly keenly because they lived and worked in such close proximity to the settlers.

Candidate 3: Waldo Martin

University of California Press

Black against Empire

This timely special edition, published on the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party, features a new preface by the authors that places the Party in a contemporary political landscape, especially as it relates to Black Lives…

So team - what’s our theory here? Which of these professors is the lucky winner?!?

Keep in mind you have to assume the following:

Despite dedicating their research lives to studying exploitation of black peoples by whites, one of them has flipped the narrative on this.

One of them is dumb enough to send an “anonymous” note that identifies him or herself as black when it could only be one of three people when they are afraid of losing their livelihood.

That said, it’s a well written letter and makes several well articulated points here and there, but I don’t believe the source is accurate (but I’ve been wrong before!)

And they all signed the BLM support letter earlier this year…

So which one is it?

Right.

Sometimes truth hurts.

You actually believe that garbage quote?

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

i certainly do

how could one not believe it?

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.

If I wanted to get my opinion out in the world, the first place I would go is 4chan. I mean…who wouldn’t?

@AngraMainyu

no. it was yours, calling me out.

why would you bring “4chan” into this thread?

@thinkingman

unfortunately only about 2/3 of inner city blacks will even be able to understand this assuming they will even try

And here’s yours.

@PurpnGold

No you can actually go to the faculty page and research this.

And you know it to be accurate and current. Harvard’s faculty webpage said that Pocahontas Warren was an Indian, was that accurate?

It’s a shame dissenting voices to The Narrative gall so much.
