Will wait for more facts before buying the claim now being made (maybe for the first time) that the n-word was used repeatedly in a crowd at BYU a year ago.
In other news, NY Congressional candidate Max Rose (D) is making a lot of hay today about a swastika being drawn on a campaign sign. The sad part is that my immediate reaction is that it was more than likely drawn by a young far-leftist looking to further the narrative that anyone who disagrees with the wokies is a far-right horrible person who would do things like draw swatiskas on a Jewish candidate’s campaign sign.
There are certainly proud racists and anti-Semites in the world who would do things like openly call a collegiate athlete the n-word in a crowd or paint a swastika on a campaign sign. But there are also plenty of people out there who would claim these things happened to them or do them to others as a means of furthering a narrative that they think suits their purposes. I always root for facts to emerge on these things so we know which is which but they rarely do.

You don’t think we should root for facts to emerge on these things before just believing them based on an allegation with no further proof they happened or were perpetrated by the people that fit a narrative?

I grew up in the garment district (through my mother) and saw both anti-Jewish racism and the Jewish response to it first hand. It helped to set up many of my own coping mechanisms. (BTW, at graduation I got a telegram delivered by a guy in a WWII era Western Union outfit. It came from my mother's colleagues in the garment district and I still remember exactly what it said. "Congratulations on your degree, Robert. But Holy Cross? We all thought you were studying to be a rabbi! Mazel tov" ) IIRC the Class of 1972 had a member who became a rabbi (Norman Cohen). Lived across the hall from me my sophomore year. Reached out to him abkut 10 years ago. Doing well.
