Just read the comment section in the New York Times today based on the article posted about this incident there. Hundreds of comments, almost every single one of them highly critical of the black student and the College for their handling of the incident. So great courage is no longer required to call this out as almost everybody is calling it out now.

"unless you're ready to be callled out for continuing to aid and abet the colonizers/oppressers whose terrible prejudices are still doing damage today you're part of the problem"

Thanks for explaining CRT in nutshell. Now we know why 70 million people voted for Trump and why a bunch white supremacists stormed the Capitol. This is what they feel they are dealing with. Black activists need to get a grip on reality -- CRT is not working. Not only is it wrong, it is not working. You've so expanded the definition of racism that even that word has lost its sting.

We're all hurting out here. Whites as well as blacks. Life is fucking hard. White privilege is a mighty thin privilege for many of us. Time to stop talking about white privilege and start developing some empathy.
