Worker Smashes Racist Panel - Loses Job

82. WAIT ONE FREAKING MINUTE....

I first thought this was a University somewhere in the deep south where I would expect this kind of racist stuff. I would assume some borderline racist University President of said deep southern university would defend the mural as 'Our History' (same as people did with the Confederate flag flying at SC State Capital).

BUT YALE??!!

And the fact that the President is DEFENDING this is pretty racist indeed. This is in the heart of New England in states that got rid of slavery in 1848, decades before the start of the Civil War and before Lincoln finally abolished it across the country.

There was a petition at my Alma Mater (Lebanon Valley College) to rename the Lynch Building, a building named after someone whose last name happens to be Lynch who donated like $500k back during the Depression. Yet some crazy reason a group of students wanted to rename the building because, well, Lynch also has other very sad meanings. But the building wasn't named after the 'Lynch the Verb' but Dr Lynch who was very generous to LVC. So something like that I thought was ridiculous if you ask me.

But this thing at Yale - bullshit - rename the building.
