Professor suspended for refusing request to give lenient grades to blacks

Togor says..And Ray is incorrect to point out that it was a private conversation. It was official business of the University. His email was flippant and blowback was to be expected.


Show me where it wasn't a pvt conservation!...It was just a personal email to a student. Show me it where it was an official email!...and also that he was not supposed to talk about the situation to anyone.. And how do you know he used a university computer anyway? Many folks use their lap top computer at work.... While it's true what Lyman said that nothing is private in today's electronic, I believe that was just a general statement unless Lyman says it was directly in regard to this situation...

Please answer my questions!

Ray:

The educator was communicating with a student about a course. He's in the education business, so this is work.

The rule is....don't put anything in an email that you wouldn't want to see on the nightly news.

ray,

never type something that you don't want someone to bite you for later, esp if it affects your paycheck

this guy, regardless if he was right or wrong, did, and got bit,

But that's kind of like saying the girl who got raped deserved it for wearing that tight skirt.

So true, so true! People ask why America locks up so many blacks? It's easy to answer that, America writes laws knowing that blacks will break them and get locked up! Wonder what laws that are written just to lock whites up?

Yes, and slavery in West Africa, to the extent it was practiced, was more benign than the industrial scale system in the Americas, especially in the 1800s.

If so, does that justify covering it up in so-called Black History teaching? And it was practiced extensively as different kingdoms & tribes fought each other for territory AND for trading rights with Europeans--they very much wanted the manufactured goods Europe could provide. What is to be done with enemies captured in war--turn them loose to fight you again, imprison them where they would have to be fed & guarded? The choice was between killing them outright & selling them.

Again, your charges of a cover-up kinda falls flat, insofar as the African part of it is known. I mean, here we are discussing it, although I do not claim to be as well versed in Afro studies as you, and I wonder if you are accurately portraying what happened there or slanting things to prove some point. In any case, blaming the slave traders for what went down in the colonies and ante-bellum southern states has been tried and has failed for a hundred years at least.
