Yale Cafeteria Worker Resigns After Breaking “Racist,” One-of-a-Kind Stained Glass
Heat Street ^ | July 11, 2016 | Emily Zanotti

A Yale cafeteria worker has resigned after smashing a historic stained glass window in Yale’s notorious Calhoun College residence hall, which is named after the 19th century white supremacist John C. Calhoun. The stained glass depicted two slaves picking cotton.

The worker, Corey Menafee, is black. He told the New Haven Independent that the dining hall window was “racist” and “very degrading” and that last month, while working an event for the college, he decided to use a broomstick to smash the window.

Looks like Mr. Menafee picked up on what Yale is teaching. I bet will never get a job with the pay/benefits Yale offers.

blacks just don’t think that the law or rules apply to them, and that they are entitled to do whatever they like to whomever they want.

If he wants racist and degrading he need only examine the fraudulent propaganda posing as his education.

Well, given he be leaving because of the racist administration having such a window in his presence, he be living well on the settlement plus welfare benefits.

My guess it was a tiffany glass window.

Yale needs to move forward by demonstrating competence by fixing New Haven.

Isn't that what our "Great ObamaNation" just said in Dallas?

Any word yet on whether or not he has gotten a raise or a promotion?

I don't understand "he resigned".

He should have been arrested and fired on the spot!

What a complete idiot. Hoisted by his own petard.
He was lucky enough to be hired as a cafeteria worker at YALE, and he Fkk’s it up for this? For anyone who enjoys working in that food server environment, that would be a dream job, most likely, one with a whole buncha benefits .He’s too stupid to be working there. And NO, you don’t even get unemployment, because of your property destruction and poor decision making skills!

What is he complaining about? Blacks say they’re under-represented in art and history. This art was depicting blacks doing actual work and not trashing stuff. He should be pleased.

I wonder how Corey Menafee would feel if it was found that one of his ancestors had worked on that stained glass window. If it weren't for that ancestor working hard, Corey would still be in Africa living in a grass hut.

Interesting how blacks are ruining their history. In 100 years there will be no more reference to slavery because everything is being destroyed by these idiots.

Oh and another thing, the slaves worked. Their present ancestors steal or are on welfare.

The article says that Yale won’t pursue the charges. That is teaching him the wrong thing.
Had he made a complaint, they would probably have replaced it.

This may be the Stained Glass he found to be Racist.

A window cannot be racist.

My father picked cotton when he was a child in the 30's. Does this give me grounds for reparations?
