An investigation found a black student was not a victim of racism for “eating while black” at the elite @smithcollege. Oumou Kanoute made up claims that ruined the lives of four campus workers. #HateHoax https://t.co/ii2Fw5T6Px

Her feeling of entitlement shouldn't cause others to suffer. She broke the rules and her skin pigmentation doesn't matter.

So she was in two places she wasn't allowed to be in, got told to leave....and that's racist? How in the...

I'm a Smith graduate and I agree that Oumou should have been chastised for eating in the wrong place at the wrong time and blaming staff. The rules apply to everyone regardless of color, ethnicity.

Race obsessed student activist at prestigious $80k college claims she was a victim of racism...ruins the lives of four innocent working class people. Turns out it was all a lie. Oops. https://t.co/2523zYm3Uc

‘The revelation that the entire narrative surrounding the incident was a lie has not changed matters one bit at Smith. Employees must now undergo rigorous anti-bias training.’

cleared Ms. Blair altogether and found no sufficient evidence of discrimination by anyone else involved, including the janitor who called campus police.Still, Ms. McCartney said the report validated Ms. Kanoute's lived experience, notably the fear she felt at the sight of the police officer. "I suspect many of you will conclude, as did I," she wrote, "it is impossible to rule out the potential role of implicit racial bias."The report said Ms. Kanoute could not point to anything that supported the claim she made on Facebook of a yearlong "pattern of discrimination."Ms. McCartney offered no public apology to the employees after the report was released. "We were gobsmacked — four people's lives wrecked, two were employees of more than 35 years and no apology," said Tracey Putnam Culver, a Smith graduate who recently retired from the college's facilities management department. "How do you rationalize that?"Rahsaan Hall, racial justice director for the A.C.L.U. of Massachusetts and Ms. Kanoute's lawyer, cautioned against drawing too much from the investigative report, as subconscious bias is difficult to prove. Nor was he particularly sympathetic to the accused workers."It's troubling that people are more offended by being called racist than by the actual racism in our society," he said. "Allegations of being racist, even getting direct mailers in their mailbox, is not on par with the consequences of actual racism."
eBay announced they will stop selling 6 Dr. Seuss books...

But you can still buy Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler.

This is a nice way to. Gloss over companies like Amazon, EBay, and Target removing books by Anderson, Shrier, and even Thomas Sowell... but the fact some Dr. Seuss books are available totally disproves cancel culture or abuse by corporations...

Can you still buy Mein Kamph, Mao's Little Red Book, The Communist Manifesto, The Pivot of Civilization, etc, on Amazon?

Were people really rushing out to buy those 6 Seuss books? They are now.
You can still buy "Communist Manifesto" and "Mein Kampf", though. https://t.co/ygumo6lCP3

Biden, a Democrat, still supports Tanden, an Indian American who would be the first woman of color to lead the agency."Neera Tanden is a leading policy expert who brings critical qualifications to the table during this time of unprecedented crisis," his press secretary, Jen Psaki, wrote on Twitter.Asked later at the White House whether Tanden had offered to withdraw her nomination, Psaki said: "That's not the stage we're in."

Deeply felt sense of personal truth. I love how you can actually lie & destroy people but... if you stick to your "truth", then that's what matters. pic.twitter.com/9mj9C8qUNV

How in the name of all that's good and holy do you "interrogate your prejudices"?

WTF is that?
The vocal minorities are continuing to push the envelope with their terms and demands in many areas, while the majority continue to apologise out of what... an unfounded fear?

So the student is either lying or delusional, but the sentence is phrased in a way that gives the student the benefit of the doubt simply because the narrative serves woke interests.
