That was written by a doctor. (of history, so we know whoever gave her that doctorate did it entirely out of feels)
That's the kind of thing you get signed and framed. Just for how absolutely balls to the wall retarded that is.
This isn't even steeped in reality. She's conflating a death for a death, a situation for a different situation.
I am ashamed at whichever college or university gave her that doctorate. And I am saddened that we share the earth with this person.
It has a Ph.D. in African American history, not actual history.
That can't possibly be a thing.
Are people actually that retarded that they can't tell a grift when they see one?
Yes.
This reminds me of fouls in basketball. People think a basketball game was properly and fairly officiated if both teams have the same number of fouls and free throws at the end. But that's not how reality works. Fouls are supposed to result from bad behavior, and the behavior of two different teams isn't magically equal. Slower and older teams commit way more fouls on average.
A violent black felon gunned down by police because he was attacking them with a deadly weapon is not equivalent to a white teenager getting stabbed in the chest by a black teenager because the former told the latter to stop trespassing.
"Scoreboard morality" is how gangs operate. They got one of ours, so we deserve to take one of theirs. Order of events doesn't matter. Actual behavior doesn't matter. Everything is equivalent because the almighty blank slate says we're all the same.
