Only a matter of time before leftists proclaim plagiarism is a racist tool of white patriarchal supremacy.

They have already started purging those professors and administrators who don't lie - admittedly a small number. One example is the Harvard Prof Roland Fryer Jr, who found that black crime suspects were shot less than white crime suspects. The only ones left will all be rotten to the core. They want everyone in the same boat

Erasing cultural standards that elevated Western civilization for millennia is what they specialize in. Destruction is their only path.

You mean white supremacist fallacies. Thomas Jefferson was a child molester. He started raping 14-year-old Sally Hemings, a female slave, when she was 34. This lasted for 3 decades, producing six children. Jefferson sold one of them to another slave owner. He had the audacity to say that blacks were inferior. Millions of African women were raped by white scumbag males.

You omitted that Roland Fryer discovered higher low violence against blacks by police. That's a problem that needs correction, especially with improving Black trust issues with police. Roland Fryer's methodology in his study has been questioned by other intellectuals. I would like to see other studies from different angles. Data alone is insufficient to establish strong causation of problems. BTW, as a black man, I worked in law enforcement for 34 years. I saw lots of white racist aggression against blacks that was totally unnecessary in addition to the corruption. I don't trust the police myself. Thank goodness for access to cell phones, especially when when cops intentionally shut off their body cams. White supremacist cherry picking of facts to fit their fellacious narratives?

Whites have slaughtered each other by the multiple millions through endless European wars. White Germans murdered 6 million Jews. Europe after appropriating gunpowder and navigation technologies from the Chinese, sailed around the world committing genocide against millions of indigenous people.

12 million Africans (social capital) was displaced to the new world for free labor to work the stolen land which mal-distributed massive generational wealth and power to whites. Racism is a competitive relationship between groups for ownership and control of resources (a power relationship).

Europeans got the headstart. Blacks were never part of the race; just the boot and loot. Racism is a team sport and blacks forfeiting isn't a viable option. Blacks need to redirect most of their 98% spending on nonwhite buisneeses to Black owned buisnesses. Quit purchasing goods and services from people who despise us. Improving Black group economics and power will help to resolve some of the pathological symptoms and effectively battle white racism.

Lastly, the the Florida college that Christopher Ruffo took over and messed up, is now begging for government funds to bail them out. Ruffo is finished after Ron DeSantis ends his term as governor. The race was war continues with the 1964 Civil Rights Act being the next neo-conservative target. 'Make America White Again.' Lol!!!!

I’m not sure I would characterize 34 years in correction institutions as law enforcement without a disclaimer. You were exposed to the worst of humanity under maximum stress. The best predictor of incarceration is number of parents in the toddler’s home. The Moynihan Report was prophetic.

Thomas Sowell: "Recent scholarship traces the roots of southern violence to the Scots-Irish, who brought a relatively violent “cracker culture” with them to the United States in the eighteenth century. The tolerance for violence inherent in cracker culture was believed to be transmitted throughout the South to other whites and was maintained, in part, through evangelical Christian doctrine.

Some southern blacks were also influenced by “cracker culture,” leading to the emergence of a “black redneck” phenomenon influencing homicide among blacks. Using county-level data circa 2000, this study empirically evaluates the merit of the cracker culture/black redneck thesis. Negative binomial regression analyses for a full sample of counties suggest that a measure of southern cracker/black redneck culture is an important factor affecting contemporary rates of argument homicide among both whites and blacks. When counties are divided into south and non-south sub-samples, the results are also consistent: a cracker/black redneck culture effect is evident for both racial groups in the south and is also apparent outside of the southern region. We interpret these latter findings as possible support for the thesis that southern cracker/black redneck culture has been transported through migration to non-southern localities."

The violence in black African countries has been well-known for centuries. Blacks didn't need Scots or Irish to teach it to them! The tribes in Africa still can't get along and are constantly warring. African blacks still own slaves.

While I was in Bangkok, Thailand, it was quite stunning to see thousands of American and European male pedophiles running around in the streets preying on innocent children. The authorities said it was a overwhelming problem. During my 34-career in the prison industrial complex, I used to evaluate and recommend convicted child molesters and other criminals for prison.

Tribalistic whites have killed each other by the multiple millions through endless European wars.

German whites slaughtered 6 million Jews. White on white slaughtering is still on steroids in Eastern Europe, bringing the world closer to a nuclear nightmare.

After appropriating gunpowder and navigation technologies from China, Europeans sailed around the world committing genocide against indigenous populations to take other people's stuff. Wealth and power were mal-distributed to whites with great force and violence.

Prior to the transatlantic slave trade, Europe was a shithole plagued by rampant diseases wiping out half its population, extensive poverty and crime, stagnant mercantile economies, lack of natural resources, and debauchery (priests raping children).The convicts were sent the new world and murdered millions of indigenous people.

King Leopold II of Belgium was responsible for 10 to 20 million African deaths and limb amputations in the Congo to force the harvesting of natural rubber. Family members were even held hostages for forced labor.

I've traveled to South Africa a number of times, where I witnessed the white Afrikaner supremacist remnants of apartheid.The Dutch (Netherlands) will not take these people back.

Notably, Israel provided arms and special military training in the past to South Africa to maintain apartheid. Furthermore, I visited the prison and cell where Mandela was housed. The conditions were very inhuman. The guard dogs ate better food than the Black prisoners who were fed much less than Indian or coloured prisoners.

You forgot to capitalize Black in sentences 6 and 7, paragraph 1. In your 3rd paragraph, I think you meant “African Americans were,” not “was”. Unless good grammar is racist…I’ve heard that’s a thing.

Thanks for your concern. I was having drinks at a bar and passing time on my so-called smart phone. Grammerly sucks on this phone. I have AI editors on my personal computers at home.

Should the pyramids be torn down because they were built by slaves?

I was in Egypt last October-- Cairo, Alexandria, and Valley of The Kings. It was amazing to see the paintings of nubians in the tombs on the walls. The pyramids were too heavy for the Europeans to steal and place in their museums. Interesting how the noses of the Sphinx were shot off by the Europeans. Also, vsited Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai. The late Dr. John Henrik Clarke addressed the issues of the Europeans revising history in Hemet (Egypt).

Slavery existed in all cultures prior to the Industrial Revolution. To say otherwise is straight up ignorance. Don’t forget that 300,000 plus Americans died on American soil to abolish slavery and right the wrong of this evil practice. Also, you talk like you are AI. Very suspect.

Funny you didn't mention Africans enslaving other Africans through kidnapping, WARS, in order to sell some to white buyers, some to Middle East buyers and keeping some for their own brand of slavery. You just "whitewash" it and blame all of it on "white" people. North Africans (Barbary pirates) kidnapped white people from Europe - entire small villages in some cases - and sold them as slaves. I'm white looking with a black grandfather and I received my undergraduate degree from a historic HBCU in International Studies. My concentration was South Asia and Africa. So I see the racism in your little diatribe. Point your fingers at Africans, buddy!

This is such a clever attack -- It's lose-lose for these elite schools: either fire the plagiarizing DEI hires and thereby expose how illegitimate the DEI system is; OR ignore the charges and lose all claims to academic integrity.

Expand full comment

I think both of your trigger points have already been achieved. They have already exposed how illegitimate DEI is by their own actions and have lost any claim to academic integrity. Their goal now is to ‘stop the bleeding’ which means two things in the far left playbook. One, scream this is due to an “ism” and two, close ranks, deflect and blunt until it blows over. What’s something I think that will accelerate is that as ai develops, more and more of this type of circumstance will surface. The emperors will be shown to truly have no clothes. The irony will be thick and tasty.

Harvard needs to replace its school song with this number, from one of their graduates back before anyone heard of DEI, Tom Lehrer:

One man deserves the credit

One man deserves the blame

And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name

Hi!

Harvard hasn’t seen plagiarism as a problem, because it long ago abandoned intellectual rigor and integrity for ideological conformity and activism. The Left destroyed Harvard, as it has destroyed most other institutions of Western civilization. That is its sole goal.

The problem for Harvard is that they got caught, because they cultivate the pretense of intellectual rigor, and when that is exposed as the sham that it is, it weakens the claim to authority they use to peddle ideology as researched fact.

What concerns me more is the fraud recently uncovered at leading cancer centers (MSK and DF). There seems to be no repercussions potentially because these researchers bring in millions of dollars, in tax payer money, to their institutions and the latter gets a significant cut of that money. If the funding is cut off then you would see departures. Until then all will be quiet as they look the other way and hope that the whole business blows over.

Maybe these people aren't guilty of plagiarism at all. Getting a PhD requires original research, but what do to do if your field is so small and insular and useless that there's nothing original to be done?

There's really so little to "study" in the grievance-studies fields that the practitioners just recycle the same second-rate, Sokal-like, postmodernist drivel, inevitably overlapping each others' prose: an infinite number of DEI administrators typing an infinite number of critical theory papers that all say an infinite amount of nothing.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/184260/educational-attainment-in-the-us/

Historically, college was for the brightest 10%. Shoveling close to 40% of your population through university results in the creation of useless programs (like grievance studies) to syphon off grant and loan money from increasingly intellectually weak students (like Claudine Gay & Sherri Ann Charleston), all of whom have to be provided with positions somewhere that are commensurate with their alleged educational attainment. How quickly would this would end if the loan spigot was shut off?

You know what other societies suffered from elite overproduction? 1788 France and 1900 Russia. (per Peter Turchin) Elite overproduction doesn't end well.
