I like the inclusion of social-science academic jargon. Shows this person is the real deal.

I find this to be one of the best treatises on the situation many conservative professors and possibly even non-conservative professors and professional people find themselves in throughout America. It described exactly what is happening in a culture where speaking the truth is vilified and the speaker is pilloried and run out of town by the mob, if not worse. Economic ruin is a distinct possibility and certainly the complete social shunning of peers is going to occur should they not toe the line to the leftist agenda.

It shouldn’t affect the strength of my argument above, but for the record, I write as a person of color.

Yikes. This brave, intelligent soul is sort of running serious risk by this partial reveal. I hope this writer can remain anonymous!

I thought the same. It cut down the field of candidates in the UC Berkeley History Department who might be the author.

it seems in a few places that the writer is definitely talking about the history department, but maybe in other places not?

if it is a conservative (or quiet...) historian of color, then yah, that’s going to be like one person

hopefully the author didn’t leave a trail of bread crumbs behind and maybe put something in there to throw off the coming Inquisition

Welcome to future diversity, where ANY/ALL actions, thought or speech not aligned with leftist progressive ideology cancels violators.

Fool’s errand. He’s trying to speak reason to absolute fantasies. No diff than trying to speak about biology with ISIS.

There is only ONE way to deal with fanatics.

102 shootings this past weekend in Chicago - all black.

No one can fix the problems of Black Americans except themselves. Until that happens they will continue to be used and abused by leftist politicians and agitators with their own power agenda.

Didn’t Biden say something like Blacks who support Trump aren’t Black? The US is in the middle of the equivalent of Chairman Mao’s cultural revolution and it is going to end very badly for all of us unless the Left and its shock troops are not stopped.

That is very powerful and spot on.I can understand why it was submitted anonymously because they would hang him from a tree if they knew who he was for merely going against the party line.

LOL.

When truth must go underground it is like the canary in the coal mine. Something is toxic in the air and we all most recognize the elephant in the room. It is the massive element of Mob rule and the stench of tyranny. It is time for more of this to topple the corrupt statue of “independent” media—Leftist propaganda who serve other masters. The underground truth must be given the spotlight of the public until that distant day when America is free again. When will that day be? When free speech is once again permitted—even speech deemed “hateful.” When rebel flags fly, and “Amos and Andy” can be seen on TV screens and the film “Song of the South” can be seen, discussed and enjoyed. It will be a time when the US flag will not be burned and sports players will not kneel to the wishes of the mob. Til then, we must hide our faces, use false names (like the Sons of Liberty did when America was enthralled by England’s Mad king). Underground “Free Press” newspapers must be made, pirate radio transmitted, underground films made to expose the Truth. America must rip away the mask of the tyrant and show them for what they are. My fellow citizens, A new storm is coming—it will be a powerful one and many will not see the end of the storm that will rock the nation. Unlikely heroes will step forward, but in the end freedom will win and a new shining beacon on the hill emerge dedicated to the belief that government, for the people, by the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Weak manifesto.

Should be like a brick through a window to be effective.

That is extremely well written, worth every second to read it. Thanks for posting. I’m passing it on to many.
