On Thursday 11 April, shortly after 11pm, a black Columbia student named Alexander McNab walked through the gates of Barnard college—the undergraduate all-women’s school at Columbia University—after ignoring a security guard’s request to show his student ID. In search of a midnight snack, McNab got all the way to the library canteen before a public safety officer confronted him and asked for his ID a second time, a request McNab once again refused.
Several more officers had arrived on the scene and were continuing to request ID when McNab began yelling. What happened next, depicted in the video below, has become the subject of a national scandal: two officers pushed McNab’s upper body onto the countertop, at which point McNab finally handed over his ID. Public safety proceeded to verify that he was indeed an active Columbia student, at which point they left him alone...

College deans sent an email to the student body—with the subject line “Addressing Racism on Our Campus”—in which they noted the “continued legacy of anti-black racism” and lamented that “such incidents continue to occur so close to home.”
Where is the justice in this.
Students with “White Privilege” Need to refuse to show ID so they can experience their fair share of this kind of racism
IF
there are rules and regulations that HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED BY ALL OTHERS SO FAR (show ID at gate), and
IF
McNab refused that request and
IF
other requests to show ID were ignored until there was a more public venue (the cafeteria) berfore McNab complied.....
McNab intentionally set the guards up.
“In search of a midnight snack”
Bad things happen when you gotta have your Skittles.
What Jussie should have done.
Man being a jerk uses "thems all racists" to keep his pity party going? Betrays lame excuse by admitting he doesn't normally get carded? Crazy victim-hood excuses are funny. What a fraud. What a loser.
What, they have walls, gates, and security guards at Columbia?
Barnard is an expensive, elitist, leftist puppy mill. They will display all the contradictions, demands and virtue-signaling of an old-style royalty.
I pity any normal, right-thinking person who has to work there.
He looks like the Geico Neanderthal.
The big unknown is how antics like this are being evaluated by ordinary voters.
Has anyone else noticed the paucity of polls and polling data in this, the Age of Trump?
Why, back during the Age of Obola, it seemed like there was a poll every day or two, telling us how positively average voters were disposed toward the latest Obolonian Encyclical.
Uh, yes, he did.
This is easy to solve, send all security and police home and let the little liberals defend themselves.
Students with white privilege need to be beaten like baby seals and again, we only read about the worst of the worst liberal college events on here.
There’s plenty of good white kids left.
I know some here will hate hearing that :)
Then they will really have a “rape culture” on campus instead of a phony one.
This wouldn’t have been possible back in the pre feminized days when cops asked you maybe twice then took appropriate action. Since some time during the 90s I’ve noticed they’ve gotten much louder and authoritive sounding but repeat themselves endlessly.
IMO ... obviously clear set up.
I have contended for some time that the ultimate goal of this kind of stuff is to place the black community above the law. The intent is that they can do whatever they want without consequence. It’s coming and then we’ll see very involuntary reparations and the Left will defend it.
Nope. This still is possible if the jerk doing it is a white, male, yute, wearing a MAGA hat.
The campus rent a cops would have his skinny ass, face down in the hash browns, spread eagled and whimpering, at the first negative response.
It is 1984 and Animal Farm all rolled into one nightmare.
Right !
