UC Berkeley History Professor’s Open Letter Against BLM, Police Brutality and Cultural Orthodoxy

...Most troublingly, our department appears to have been entirely captured by the interests of the Democratic National Convention, and the Democratic Party more broadly. To explain what I mean, consider what happens if you choose to donate to Black Lives Matter, an organization UCB History has explicitly promoted in its recent mailers. All donations to the official BLM website are immediately redirected to ActBlue Charities, an organization primarily concerned with bankrolling election campaigns for Democrat candidates. Donating to BLM today is to indirectly donate to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign. This is grotesque given the fact that the American cities with the worst rates of black-on-black violence and police-on-black violence are overwhelmingly Democrat-run. Minneapolis itself has been entirely in the hands of Democrats for over five decades; the ‘systemic racism’ there was built by successive Democrat administrations....

This is the single best thing I have read about this whole mess.

I will be sharing it far and wide.

If there is any truth to the story, you ought to be able to provide the name of the professor, whether s/he actually wrote what you say, where s/he said or wrote it, when s/he said or wrote it...you know, the standard Who, What, When, Why, Where that is standard for any verifiable news story by any credible source.

And as for your link, it is always important to find out more about the source of the website where a story is posted:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=whois+unco...&t=hk&ia=whois

Uncoverdc.com | Mediocre trust index : 60 %

Uncoverdc.com is Not a digitally trusted website, proceed with caution.

Tracy Beanz (fake name?) is the administrator/editor/muckraker of the above conspiracy theory website, and is also prominent on other of your favored conspiracy theory websites. Why do you read this crap, anyway?

It seems awfully strange that UC Berkeley's own newspaper has no mention of this anywhere, though the "story" is all over alt-right wing websites and of course, RT.com (RT.com is a Russian site for anyone who does not know.).

-------------------------
Having said all that, there are legitimate reasons to discuss Biden's campaign and how blacks, especially black women are trying to make it all about their favored issues and to force him into choosing a black female running mate, and even to discuss overall black pandering (like Trump panders to evangelicals, and they have him held hostage, I see pandering to blacks happening in Biden's campaign.)

But uploading these ridiculous stories from conspiracy websites just gets in the way of legitimate conversation.

Tenure is great for someone with a social justice standpoint. But if one goes agaisnt it. They must be fired. Sadly the professor is tenured.

Possibly but part of the point is that conservatives are being scared silent and I can assure you, that's real.
