Student Group Says UNCs Student-Athlete Fraud Is Actually a Result of White Supremacist, Heteropatriarchal Capitalism
An enormous academic scandal is not sitting well with some students at the University of North Carolina but not for the reasons one might think. On Wednesday, UNC student group The Real Silent Sam hosted a Rally Speaking Back To The Wainstein Report, expressing disappointment with the recent investigation that found that at least 3,100 students over 18 years were enrolled in paper classes in the schools Department of African and Afro-American Studies that is, courses that effectively did not exist. Why are these students up in arms? Per the event notice on Facebook:
The Wainstein report and the administrations handling of what has been labeled an academic scandal reveals ways in which our university participates in the American system of white supremacist, heteropatriarchal capitalism and brings our understanding of what it means to be a Tar Heel into question. This report is only the most recent example of the onslaught of continued assault and commodification of bodies of color that is integral to the inception and continued practice of our institutional bureaucracy.
To the students credit, this is a paragraph of which Michael Eric Dyson would be proud. It is a prose gem of pseudo-intellectualism, from words such as heteropatriarchal to phrases such as commodification of bodies of color to provocations such as putting American in scare quotes.
Same here, and I didn’t experience any in engineering classes.

Nice try for the ‘longest word’ BUT
smiles is still the winner..
There is a MILE between each S.
One may think this story is ‘hard’ to believe but then I think of one Dexter Manley....
12 years of schooling then 4 years at a MAJOR college and the poor guy couldn’t spell CAT if you gave him the K and A.
And I don’t ‘blame’ him....Of course, when he was all ‘used up’ they tossed him back on the trash heap.
Plenty of ‘poster boys’ out there that fit the category of the paper boy on the corner.
“Paper Mister?”
“I can’t read”
“Doesn’t matter buy the paper and carry it around and nobody will know the difference”.
Medical terms tend to be long in order to describe exactly the thing being named. It is basically a Latin sentence compressed down to a single word.
Let’s see.. athletic fraud (most of the athletes are blacks) is because of white supremacy? Really?
