    Q: Calling for genocide of blacks is acceptable at Harvard? A: It depends on the context. How it sounds?

    This is not a right wing conspiricy. If it is a culture war than I am on the side of NOT tolerating anti-semitism and not accepting shoddy scholarship - apparently the other side in the culture war thinks allowing bigotry to flourish on campuses and allowing scholars to plagerize is accptable if they happen to be non-white and non-male.
  • The biggest problem with this is it’s not about a “double standard”, it’s actually about having no standard at all.
  • Surprised at you brother. She embarrassed herself and the University. Get real!
  • @mieliav
    neither addressed her statements at that hearing. weren't they a big part of the issue?
  • @EducatingDims247
    Claudine was hired based on her skin color then fired based on the content of her character. 😆😆🤦‍♀🤦‍♀
  • @garenthal9638
    How come they aren’t coming out of the woodwork to defend Liz?
  • @rg-cc5kg
    Plagiarizing and “contextualising” genocide is ok? Calling it out is bad?
  • @angiedues8813
    She was highly unqualified. Thats why she was fired
  • @sekseemarcuskidd
    I just think if you are going to hold such a high academic standard and GPA for your students why not apply this to all staff? It is not fair
  • @Random_Woman
    You seem to ignore the fact that she scoffed at students calling for the genocide of Jews
  • @user-be1mi1ot4o
    Penn State university President resigned first and no calls of racism, now the Harvard President resigns and now it’s a problem. 😢
  • I watched her testimony. She led Harvard? We really need to stop lowering standards.
  • @itsikmiz
    Awful discussion. Thinking that race is the underlying purpose for everything. Really bad approach. You are downplaying the real reasons which were antisemitism and hate to Israel according to her actions.
  • @llh3025
    Your viewers know you're lying to them. This video is ratio'd.
  • Being the President of Harvard obviously should be based on merit, just as having a show on MSNBC should obviously be based on bias.
  • @TheUMIA
    Hire people based on their merits, not what color of skin they have or what they identify as. Aren't we all supposed to be "equal"?
