I've now seen Matty Y, Calipers Sullivan, and Conor F. all weigh in on the UNC/Hannah-Jones issue and I swear to god these people are living breathing proof that white male mediocrity has way too much of a platform
I mean, Friedersdorf literally said, "I don't know if it was a political decision." Mind you, a member of the actual board said, and I quote, "politics" was the reason for the rejection of the tenure offer. For someone who treats higher ed like he does, this naive pose is a joke.
Literally two minutes of research would've kept ol' Conor from showing his ass on the internet, but he's so sure his glib assessment was correct because the case is about a Black woman, and he is a Thought Leader™ after all
These clowns make more money in a year than I'll make in twenty. Sometimes I wonder if I could just lean into my own white male mediocrity hard enough to forget about integrity like they do, and make some bank.
