Congratulations. You’ve fooled these guys for ten pages. Apparently they’ve never seen a wrestling match or a Harlem Globetrotters game.
Personally, I was heartbroken when I saw Hulk Hogan and the Iron Sheik drinking and laughing together. But in my defense, I was only ten.

why aren't you pulling up any other examples from other universities where persons not of color are also going through the same experiences?

IMO, it all boils down to greed. they are going after all the money that "Diversity" will bring in. they could give a rat's ass about DEI. If they have to lie, cheat and cover their chosen ones so be it.

Harvard was in the spotlight because of antisemitism. It had to testify in front of congress. It failed miserably. The people at Harvard are going to be checked on after that. Your insinuation that this is all because she's black or female is wrong. The fact is, this is a situation of her own making. And she shouldn't be allowed to get away with it because she's black and female.
“We have lawmakers getting intimately involved in trying to dictate governance on campus, and this seems unacceptable,” said Melani Cammett, a professor of international affairs who helped organize the petition. Harvard needs to reckon with campus polarization, she added, but “that’s not something that should be controlled by external actors.”

Her diversity and skin color is not an excuse for her deplorable behavior on stealing other people's intellectual properties.
“YOU received free, give free.” (Matthew 10:8) Jesus issued that instruction to his apostles when he sent them forth to preach the good news. Did the apostles obey this directive? Yes, and they continued to do so even after Jesus departed from the earth.
For instance, when the former sorcerer Simon saw the miraculous powers possessed by the apostles Peter and John, he offered to pay them to impart that power to him. But Peter rebuked Simon, saying: “May your silver perish with you, because you thought through money to get possession of the free gift of God.”—Acts 8:18-20.
The apostle Paul displayed a spirit similar to Peter’s. Paul could have allowed himself to be a financial burden to his Christian brothers in Corinth. However, he worked with his own hands to support himself. (Acts 18:1-3) Thus, he could say with confidence that he had preached the good news to the Corinthians “without cost.”—1 Corinthians 4:12; 9:18.
Sad to say, many who claim to be followers of Christ have not shown the same willingness to “give free.” Indeed, many of the religious leaders in Christendom will “instruct just for a price.” (Micah 3:11) Some religious leaders have even become wealthy from money collected from their flocks. In 1989, one U.S. evangelist was sentenced to a jail term of 45 years. The reason? He had been “defrauding supporters of millions of dollars and using some of the money to buy homes, cars, holidays and even an air-conditioned dog kennel.”—People’s Daily Graphic, October 7, 1989.
In Ghana, according to the Ghanaian Times of March 31, 1990, a Roman Catholic priest took money that had been collected during one church service and hurled it back at the congregation. “His reason,” says the paper, “was that, as adults, they were expected to contribute in higher denominations.” Not surprisingly, many churches even try to appeal to greed in its members, actively promoting gambling activities and other schemes in order to raise money.

If you wish to call everyone who disagrees with you a racist, that's your right, but any reputation you might have here will be forever tainted with that slant. And someone might even make it their signature. If they enjoyed pulling your sting and watching your squawk that is.
I never called anyone a racist, that's misreprentation but my reputation doesn't hinge on you and you know who else. So it's all good. Continue your back and forth flip flopping on first she is guilty and now she may not be guilty squawking as it entertains many here.
You kind of need to go back and read what you wrote. I sensed your intent was to call me a racist. And intent is everything.
I didn't flip flop, I stated a fact. In fact, I stated the same fact you did earlier. That the investigation hasn't happened yet, and they may find her innocent. If that's wrong, just bring a coherent argument as to why. You aren't batting 1000 in that department thus far, but who knows, you might surprise us. And you are totally 100% correct in that my opinion of you means nothing. That comes from everyone who opens this thread and reads your pages and pages of strange words. I think you are super.
All I said was you all seem to hate diversity - that was it, nothing else. The rest of you filled in your own blanks. FF thinks it has only to do with racism and sexism. Well I don't.
And you do flip flop as it suits your misrepresenting people on this site.

I am sure the prestigious diversity officer will follow the same path as Gay.
Sadly to point out, they are both females and black.
No a good picture for those that see these persons as role models, it is the desirable intent after all for Harvard to fill their staff with prestigious positions that will be role models for students.

that's kind of the crux of all this.
Does the poster who opposes this thread believe that because a person is both black and female, that she is immune from wrongdoing?
