Lionel McIntyre, 59, an architecture professor at Columbia University was in a Harlem bar with other Columbia University employees when the topic of discussion turned to “white privilege,” the theory that people who are white enjoy certain privileges that non-white people do not enjoy. The discussion became heated when McIntyre, who is black, shoved and then punched Camille Davis, who is white, in the face.
Camille Davis is a woman who works at Columbia University as a production manager in the school’s theater department.
I’m not expert in the art of debate, but I have to believe that when you feel the need to punch a woman in the face, you have lost the debate.
This is not how you successfully win an argument on race relations. In fact, an incident such as this only hurts race relations. Something like this only supports the negative stereotype that black men are overly violent and cannot control themselves. If a successful professor from one of the country’s most respected schools cannot control himself from attacking a woman, who can?
Lionel McIntyre is an ass.

/ November 12, 2009It’s obvious that Camille provoked Professor McIntyre. She no doubt disrespected him, and so had it coming to her.

/ November 13, 2009If a white professor punched a black woman professor in the face you can bet no matter the circumstances he would be fired by the school by the end of the week if not sooner.

/ November 13, 2009She probably looked at him wrong. I’d ‘a popped the bitch too, yo.
Well, maybe not.

/ November 13, 2009I think anytime you find yourself in a bar fight and you are punching a woman in the face, you are doing something wrong.

/ November 15, 2009@I.P. Address 69.204.86.207: That’s nice of you to say.

/ November 15, 2009@I.P. Address 69.204.86.207: Fucking egg plants? Pretty sure that’s against most religions.

/ November 15, 2009I guess “egg plant” is yet another derogatory name for black people. I was going to just delete his comment due to the overt racism, but then I figured I’d just replace the bogus anonymous fake name he left with his I.P. address.
