The yr has simply began however since there may be an election in November that is your reminder that conservatives solely actually care about “tradition conflict” and harassing minorities. Not politics, not coverage, not legislating to assist individuals. They solely need to see Black, brown, and LGBTQ of us “put of their place”.

Claudine Homosexual was the very first Black president of Harvard College, an Ivy League establishment that was first established 388 years in the past in 1636. Guess no Black of us had been certified to ever helm such a prestigious property in near 4 centuries. Nevertheless, as quickly as a melanated individual is blessed with the esteemed alternative to guide, she is vilified, accused, and subsequently run out of her place of energy.

It’s a story as outdated as time.

In accordance with ABCNews, Homosexual resigned from her publish whereas beneath intense assault from conservatives who allege that she is a plagiarist, an agent of the “woke left”, a lowly variety rent, and a Jew-hating antisemite. The difficulty first started throughout a congressional listening to during which grandstanding New York Rep. Elise Stefanik eagerly initiated a line of questioning about “calling for the genocide of Jews” and whether or not or not it might violate college coverage.

Israeli International Minister Israel Katz, in a press release on X, additionally weighed in on Homosexual’s resignation.

“A bit of context. A failure in management and denial of antisemitism have a value. I hope that the esteemed Harvard College will be taught from this dismal conduct,” he wrote.

That questioning was blood within the water for right-wing riot-starters who had been ginned up sufficient to dig via Homosexual’s upstanding skilled profession to search for disingenuous soiled with which to denigrate her popularity. The most effective they may provide you with was some nonsense about purported plagiarism in her 1997 doctoral dissertation. Upon evaluation by The Harvard Company, the college’s governing physique, all that was discovered had been benign cases of “duplicative language” for which the board requested for added citations. Let the Republican bootlickers inform it, Homosexual bought her doctorate out of a Cracker Jack field and has invaded their lily white college to propagate her Black a** “agenda”.

Right here’s what cuck-y conservative Christopher Rufo mentioned about Homosexual on Twitter (we’re by no means calling it “X”):

“Quite than take duty for minimizing antisemitism, committing serial plagiarism, intimidating the free press, and damaging the establishment, she calls her critics racist,” Rufo mentioned on X, previously Twitter. “That is the poison” of variety, fairness and inclusion ideology, mentioned Rufo, who has led conservative assaults on DEI each in enterprise and in schooling.

Fortuitously, Black of us are standing up for Homosexual and talking fact to energy.

Rev. Al Sharpton launched a press release that made plain what injustice and indignity has been executed unto Dr. Claudine Homosexual:

The Rev. Al Sharpton in a press release known as strain for Homosexual to resign “an assault on each Black girl on this nation who’s put a crack within the glass ceiling” and an “assault on the well being, power, and way forward for variety, fairness, and inclusion.”

Once more, there’s a main American election taking place in November. The enemies of democracy and Black intellectualism are gearing up, are you able to defend your self, your households, and your future in opposition to the assault?
