A prominent Columbia architecture professor punched a female university employee in the face at a Harlem bar during a heated argument about race relations, cops said yesterday.

Police busted Lionel McIntyre, 59, for assault yesterday after his bruised victim, Camille Davis, filed charges.

McIntyre and Davis, who works as a production manager in the school's theater department, are both regulars at Toast, a popular university bar on Broadway and 125th Street, sources said.

The professor, who is black, had been engaged in a fiery discussion about "white privilege" with Davis, who is white, and another male regular, who is also white, Friday night at 10:30 when fists started flying, patrons said.

McIntyre logic:It you can’t win a heated argument hit them.

Let’s not jump to conclusions, maybe it was a Hurtz Donut.

And we wonder where the Columbia students who rioted when a conservative group brought a Minuteman in to speak get their ideas from. Faculty.

A Porf by any other name would suck as much.

Yeah, it wasn’t a PUNCH punch...and it was from a porf, so she probably learned something...

[paulycy]

She was asking for it. Just like Roman Polanski’s victim.

I think I'm gonna porf.

I am porfoundly honored.

Agreed generally - I think due to continuing Christian influence, by and large.

I wonder how strong this is though. I was stunned during the election when a local radio host, a Christian, conservative black man, chastised his mostly white audience about criticising Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and said “you all say the same sorts of things in your churches”. Eh? A distinct WTF moment.

[Ronin]

Porf violence is hugh and series...

[teenyelliott]

Porfs don't hit people, fists do.

Clearly there should be a ban on fisting.

And SUV's. Just in case.

And bullets.

And candlesticks in billiard rooms...

[teenyelliott]

Yes, it really sums up race relations porfectly.

“And candlesticks in billiard rooms... “

Maybe I don’t get out much, [or I go to the “wrong” places when I do] but I’ve yet to see any candelabras in a biker pool hall.

[I guess we just don’t roll that way]....:)

[wardaddy]

it’s because down in the deep south...whites and blacks are around each other much more....although class defined by and large they still interact much more...and did even in Crow days

that and general southern manners which applies to blacks as well

It was a “porf”ect crime

And yet he did manage to make a battery charger out of coconuts and chopsticks. Go figure.

Glad you said fairly nice, I was shocked on my last trip to Mississippi by a lot of blacks attitude.
