@nathancofnas Can I ask Nathan, is there a genetic or biological explanation as to why you simply cannot take accountability for your actions? Must everyone be to blame for your ineptitude but you?
@v_j_freeman You can’t be this dense. If I kicked you and you broke your hip. Who is responsible, me or you? The media kicked Arday quite literally to death.
@HasAhmed_ Yep, beyond entertainment and sports, they just can’t fathom us taking up space anywhere else and will do anything to invalidate us when we’re there.
@Sam_Dumitriu@rv_southern Nope it clearly is. Didn’t William O’Reilly’s case prompt you to raise huge questions about Cambridge? Arday was another professor in a long line of them who has plagiarised work and it won’t end there. The media made it bigger than it is and now a man is dead.
I keep thinking about whether Black excellence is actually safe in a society that has built so much institutional protection around white mediocrity.
Because Black excellence creates visibility, and visibility without equal protection can become surveillance.
@HadleyFreeman Absolution? You would think Arday committed treason. He plagiarised! As dozens have done before him and dozens will do again. It did not warrant the flood of abuse and racist rhetoric he received, undoubtedly contributing to an eroded mental health and his subsequent death.
I’ve said it time and time again. Britain will never learn from its past mistakes and unfortunately until they themselves are in the same sad shoes, they will always turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the woes of others.
@Rooster45945971@andrewlawrence How pretentious. One man plagiarised. That’s it. Making this into some sort of anti-white conspiracy jargon is rubbish. As long as there isn’t an equal playing field in academia, EDI is still needed. Cry about it all you must.
Jason Arday’s story really reminds me of the black mirror ‘Hated in the Nation’ episode, 100 of thousands of people hating someone they don’t know because of the media and in the end, they got got. You forget that there is a human being at the end of your abuse and vitriol.
If you think this was reasonable and normal media scrutiny — and you’re defending it — even in the wake of a man’s death then truly, you have surrendered your humanity.
@DPJHodges@supertanskiii As major an interest as white politicians lying to the public yet again? Nigel failed to declare a £5m payment and this received not nearly as much coverage from your beloved journalists. It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong.
The fact that a man who proudly states that white people and Jews are superior races is at the heart of this modern day lynching of a black man says everything about how and why this story went the way it did.
This is who all you journalists and academics killed Jason for.
@mralpacalips Your obtuseness is astounding. A persistent media lashing does not equate to ‘asking him not to plagiarise’. A white Cambridge professor recently submitted a plagiarised article and received not so much as a verbal slap on the wrist. Can you explain this?
@DrewPavlou ‘Simply own up to his lies?’Because the media made that so easy? After they had already completely degraded and lambasted him. You utter hollow shell of a human being. The media has made it so easy for you to forget that there is a human being at the end of your torrent of abuse
@JuliaHB1 I’d be interested to see the legitimacy of your credentials as a supposed journalist, since you are clearly void of any sense or critical thinking.
@JuliaHB1 A whole essay for allegations (not even yet fully proved, no convictions formally made) against a black professor but not even a short sentence for the dozens of lies told by white politicians every single day.
