Columbia noose update: An innocent professor left hung out to dry
From Michelle Malkin
Sphere: Related ContentHave you been wondering what’s happening with the Columbia University noose incident? Me, too. I missed the New York Sun’s report earlier this week about an unjustly accused professor whom the school failed to support even after she had been cleared of any wrongdoing.You probably missed it, too.
Columbia University is issuing a belated defense of a professor who earlier this month was falsely accused of hanging a noose on a colleague’s door.For weeks, the university has been silent as a tenured professor of psychology and education at the Teachers College, Suniya Luthar, has been portrayed in press reports as a rival professor driven by a personal grudge over a book credit to intimidate a colleague, Madonna Constantine, by hanging a noose from her office door.
The president of Teachers College, Susan Fuhrman, said on Friday that in an effort to protect her privacy, the school had failed to offer Ms. Luthar the “public support she deserved.” Ms. Luthar is “one of the most decent human beings we know,” Ms. Fuhrman said during a speech on the state of Teachers College. “Professor Luthar is an eminent and cherished member of our faculty and deserves the embrace and support of this community.” Reached at her home yesterday, Ms. Luthar said she did not want to “fan the flames” by discussing her reaction. She did say the belated response from Columbia made her wonder “what took them so long.”

Twana Brawley, Duke LaCrosse, Claremont McKenna . . . all were racial hoaxes designed to rile up black people. There is basically no racism in this country, though there is a modest backlash by adolescents against the constant torrant of anti-racism which rings like a parade of falsehoods. Take the Tupac “noose” incident. Tupac sang endlessly of shooting black and white people, cops, and everyone else. What is more damaging to black people, this sort of garbage or the phantom racism the media likes to trumpet and its hustlers, like the useless Al Sharpton.
I’m almost 100% certain the Columbia incident is a hoax, probably perpetrated by the esteemed professor herself. No one is racist anymore; it looks like you’ll have to find some other excuse for black failure.

I would don’t agree that there is NO, racism in this country, because there is far too much shit for people to be racist about. However I do agree with you that folks stir up some of this racial bullshit (like my comment about the Halle Barry nose thingy) just to get attention.
Playing the race card is a powerful political tool.
Scroll down and watch the You Tube clip under the heading: (What folks on the left are posting, CRAZINESS!) of that old lady Democrat, as she does what all Democrats do, sell to the mindless that old notion that Republicans are racist which is just dumb.
I know a lot of cracka ass cracks liberal Democrats who are a bunch of racist fucks.
