It’s not as rare as it looks. What’s rare is for them to be noticed. Raving maniacs tell you they’re “intellectuals,” but really aren’t. The others quietly state the truth and let the rest figure it out. The maniacs keep screaming the lies at you, hoping you’ll start believing them.
I object to capitalizing white or black, except as part of a proper name. The people you describe by these crude categories are not nations, nor do they inherently share anything but color. These words are not proper proper nouns. It is subjugation of language to political impulse. Stop it.
And that really says everything, doesn't it? Color blind should mean exactly what it says and the standards by which people are judged should be the same, regardless of their race, religion, or gender!
No joke - ditto 'corporate boards'. My husband is an esteemed academic and ran a large business consultancy for over 8 years in the securities litigation area. When it came time to step back I suggested he seek a board appointment. He consulted an agency which places people in such positions and he was told point-blank that as a white male his chances of landing a spot were very low indeed. It's a shame, as he has such a wealth of knowledge and experience in his area of expertise. Our world has abandoned merit and intellect for more superficial qualities that don't really matter when it comes to running a business.
The lady is restrained in her reaction, given all of the circumstances. I favor her method of looking at the overall patterns of conduct and responsibility - that Ms. Gay appears to have patterned her entire academic career on Prof. Swain's work.
Appears to indeed. Her condition for remaining as Harvard president should be to facilitate regular workshops and teach courses on plagiarism...using her own dissertation as course readings. Swain could be a guest lecturer...
Ask Joe BIDEN - he's the 'Plagiarist in Chief' having ripped off many people including Neil Kinnock, Robert Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey and JFK. BIDEN had to withdraw from a Presidential run in 1988 because of his 'snatching' other people’s words. But Democrats consider plagiarism to be a feather-in-the-cap, as they just don't care anymore about morals and merit.
Excellent work, and this follow up with Carol Swain is dynamite. I love the way she defines herself as "mainstream"! Absolutely! Elise Stefanik is commenting on X that the "mainstream" media is not covering her plagiarism. I don't know as I gave up on MSM a long time ago. But it sounds plausible. God grant your scoop breaks through that particular "glass ceiling"!
She needs to resign in disgrace, but she also did America a great service by awakening her to the depths of rot at the ideological altar inherent in every (formerly) prestigious institution. We must do better. Gay is merely an intersectional foot soldier in this war warping our society.
Carol Swain- an intellectual with common sense. A rare gem.
I have always admired her graciousness...

Carol Swain for President!
Well, she thought the 2020 election was stolen. If she lost, we might not have enough courts on the land to certify she lost.
Excellent work! There is no doubt that a White male would already be gone.

I will stop it when the woketards stop capitalizing all races but White. FO
I zorp thee back to kindergarten. I don't care who started it. Vamoo!
Hey John: what does FO mean?
Probably "f--k off".
Absolutely, positively, totally agree.
"A white male would probably already be gone."
And that really says everything, doesn't it? Color blind should mean exactly what it says and the standards by which people are judged should be the same, regardless of their race, religion, or gender!
A white male would not make it to that position anymore.

Excellent work, I feel momentum building, we’re, you, are finally moving forward against the woke mind virus.
Today she would have had ChatGPT do her work.
Or perhaps that’s all she actually is: an AI version 1.01 in something that partly resembles a human body.
Certainly, a white male would already be gone.
Yes, but Carol Swain also isn't Gay! *Badum tish*
Good one, boss!
Progressives basically think they own minorities. Their votes are rightfully theirs. Apostates when they don't.
Yes. You got one. Mighty hunted.
But what we here want to know is -
When will the orange fool be punted?
Claudine Gay is Vogue; Carol Swain is not. Plagiarism is so hot right now.

As I said: so hot right now.
The study replication crisis and plagiarism is a problem within the Academy.
