A “teachable moment”?
A black male Columbia University professor punched a white female Columbia University staff member at a local bar. When another bar patron stepped in to stop him, he swung at him too.
As with the Crowley- Harvard Professor Gates incident, Columbia is also Obama’s alma mater. Will there be a ‘beer summit”? Or does Obama reserve those events when he wants to play up to the cult of victimology?
A prominent Columbia architecture professor punched a female university employee in the face at a Harlem bar during a heated argument about race relations, cops said yesterday.
Police busted Lionel McIntyre, 59, for assault yesterday after his bruised victim, Camille Davis, filed charges.
McIntyre and Davis, who works as a production manager in the school’s theater department, are both regulars at Toast, a popular university bar on Broadway and 125th Street, sources said.
The professor, who is black, had been engaged in a fiery discussion about “white privilege” with Davis, who is white, and another male regular, who is also white, Friday night at 10:30 when fists started flying, patrons said.
A black man who happens to be a professor at a prestigious university whining about ‘white privilege”. Isn’t that rich?
McIntyre, who is known as “Mac” at the bar, shoved Davis, and when the other patron and a bar employee tried to break it up, the prof slugged Davis in the face, witnesses said.
“The punch was so loud, the kitchen workers in the back heard it over all the noise,” bar back Richie Velez, 28, told The Post. “I was on my way over when he punched Camille and she fell on top of me.”
The other patron involved in the dispute said McIntyre then took a swing at him after he yelled, “You don’t hit a woman!” [...]
Hate crime? Never mind. heh. Where is the outrage? If it would of been a white professor who had punched a black woman, all hell would of broke loose. In zero to three Al Sharpton would of been on the scene.
Speaking of loose Columbia should do the right thing and cut McIntyre loose ASAP.
“It was a very unfortunate event,” he said afterwards. “I didn’t mean for it to explode the way it did.”
Unfortunate event? No dude it was a violent brutish assault. Be a man (for once) and own it.
