Black Lives Matter Tag

I was interviewed by Virginia Allen for The Daily Signal's podcast regarding the issues I'm facing at Cornell Law School, and issues facing academia and the nation more generally regarding the Black Lives Matter Movement. You can listen to the full podcast and read the full transcript at The Daily Signal website, Students, Faculty Target Professor for Writing Honest History of Black Lives Matter.

Apparently the left believes that the word "master" has only one meaning and is never / was never used in any other way in the history of the world.  Sigh. I am really just over the crazy, but here we are, now lefties are changing the names of "master bedrooms" and "master sommeliers" and who knows what's next? Master's degrees? MCs at events and in bands? Masterpiece? Master at Arms?  Chess master?

Apparently, the lily white left is so desperate to prove it's not racist and that it's well and truly woke, the wokiest!, that it's hunting for things to rename in the name of looking like they care about anything remotely related to black people.  Like a two-runway airport no one's ever heard of named for an actor the majority of the rioter youth have probably never heard of.

The War on Statues is not new. In 2017, RebelPundit filmmakers Jeremy Segal and Andrew Marcus followed Chicago community organizer, Paul McKinley, on a tour of the south side neighborhood, Washington Park, where they find local residents opposed to a pastor's calls to remove George Washington's name and statue from the park.

One of the two posts of mine that sent some alumni, faculty, and students at Cornell Law School into a rage regarded the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" slogan which has become synonymous with the Black Lives Matter Movement.

It will come as no surprise to most Americans that academia has been lost largely to the Left. To put this in perspective, college professors donate to Democratic candidates over Republican ones by a ratio of 95-1, Yet, there are notable holdouts in the academic world, among them the aptly named Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, just outside Washington, D.C.

A handful of small business owners have filed suit against the city of Seattle for the allowance of the rioter occupied zone, which they claim has deprived them of their property rights, saying, "the City’s decision has subjected businesses, employees, and residents of that neighborhood to extensive property damage, public safety dangers, and an inability to use and access their properties."
