Full Title:

UC Berkeley History Professor's Open Letter Against BLM, Police Brutality and Cultural Orthodoxy

This letter is being stripped from the web.

There are still a few dems who have some sense. But they incur huge wrath and are regarded as enemies by the progressive left of the Dem party.

An excellent letter from an anonymous University of California Berkley history Professor. has the radical left’s shorts all in a twist.

Darn good read.Based on FACT.

“it is being treated as an axiomatic and actionable truth without serious consideration of its profound flaws”

The author must be old school. I’m not sure how anyone like that could be hired at a UCB History Department any more. He is challenging the dogmas of people who are inclined to burn heretics at the stake.

A Brit, Canadian or Australian,maybe. Or even from some other Commonwealth nation.

Good catch.

Academically related to Winston Churchill? One of our most brilliant historians on fascism.

Fascism is what I see in CHAZ.

A high risk endeavor an the academic insane asylum that is UC Berkley.

Maybe he actually knows now what the 2nd amendment actually means.

Get this from his letter:

rare fact, unavailable to the public generally omitted by the MSM :

“As a final point, our university and department has made multiple statements celebrating and eulogizing George Floyd. Floyd was a multiple felon who once held a pregnant black woman at gunpoint. He broke into her home with a gang of men and pointed a gun at her pregnant stomach. He terrorized the women in his community. He sired and abandoned multiple children, playing no part in their support or upbringing, failing one of the most basic tests of decency for a human being. He was a drug-addict and sometime drug-dealer, a swindler who preyed upon his honest and hard-working neighbors. “

The “Sainted” Floyd Hood?

His only claim to greatness was that he died too well when he was murdered?

That’s a sickeningly low bar for America.

Whatever works I suppose. No hero he.

How many black history professors are there at Berkeley? I expect (if this letter is legitimate) the staff knows his identity.

Whoever wrote it- it’s an excellent, thoughtful essay.

Anonymous or not, he should be terribly easy to identify, unless he’s pretending to be an incoherent, rabid Leftist in the faculty lounge. “Silence is violence”.

But maybe he’s not even faculty there, but just pretending to be so that the true believers will rip each other apart trying to track him down.

It should be published widely.

Worthy of a Thomas Paine pamphlet.

Distribute those pamphlets at every BLM protest!

When I clicked on the link at Medium there’s a pop up saying this piece is being reviewed for possible violation of rules.

The times we live in...

What an excellent article. As I read it, I was sure it was written by someone who was not white and eventually this line came up…. It shouldn't affect the strength of my argument above, but for the record, I write as a person of color. He/she is absolutely correct…. Truth and good arguments stand on their own merits and have nothing to do with the amount of melanin in the skin of those who state them. There are so many bases that were touched in this piece… perhaps the only ones that could have been made stronger is that the death of George Floyd had nothing to do with racism and in fact racism in America does not exist in any meaningful way…. it only exists in the embers being constantly fanned by the likes of DemonRats and Sharpton who desperately need to keep some racist remnants alive for their own nefarious purposes. In this regard, blacks and whites are totally being played.

They will track him/her down. Not that many history prof’s, so they will go through them one by one to track down this traitor!! Yup, no rest until the crook is known and fired and tared and feathered.

My only problem with the article is the anonymity part.

In the arena of ideas, if something is worth stating it is worth defending face to face.

Think: Martin Luther, Signers of the Declaration of Independence, etc.

Agreed. They will not consider any of the salient points. The only objective will be to silence and destroy the professor.

I’m surprised the Free Republic Mods permitted this strongly racist piece to remain.

The piece must not only be preserved but disseminated as widely as possible.

The truth is that Black Lives don’t matter and it is proven in Chicago every Saturday night and in Planned Parent abortionaries every day. BLM is a tragic historical joke

There is no right to resist arrest. Resisting must become a felony with severe imprisonment at hard labor

He uses organization in other places, like after BLM.
