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.

It is important that all memory of a societies once great men be erased and/or degraded. The individual about whom the report was made was actually an intelligent black(IQ probably about 105). Note that this erasure is accomplished in our modern society by renaming streets, buildings, mountains, parks-MLK, C Chavez, Tom Bradley Airport etc. etc.
Got a lot of catching up to do here, so I’m going to give these messages a header:
“I was a department head at Yale..”
The pay there sucks. There are no benefits unless you’re in an administrative style position. I.T., help desk, office, etc. If you’re a cafeteria worker you’re basically a slave. It’s terrible and their union is a joke.
Why hasn’t he been arrested?
“I was a department head at Yale..”
“If he wants racist and degrading he need only examine the fraudulent propaganda posing as his education.”
He was a cafeteria worker. NOT a student by any means.

I was a department at Yale....
“My guess it was a tiffany glass window”
No, the windows there aren’t anything special. In fact, not a brick of that building is older than the early 60s. Yale buildings are just built to look old but all but 3 are post 60s.
Oh, come on, student. It’s part of history.
Are you going to pay for it to be re-constructed?
In a related story, Yale has just promoted him as their new Dean.
Yale Unions probably negotiated this. And they probably negotiated that he never speak on the topic, which he obviously broke.
He’s going to have a nasty court date soon. Yale doesn’t take sh!t like that lightly.
Being picked to work at Yale is like being picked from the lineup at Home Depot to build a deck.
There is no prestige in what he does.
Or psychiatric help.
Yale University was one building for a very, very long time. In the 60s the business part of it took off, and they constructed a bunch of new buildings.
The new buildings were made to LOOK old, to give the impression that they competed directly with Oxford.
Buildings were built, and stainglass was laid in by ... well.. Anyone. It was just built by random construction guys. Then pieces were broken out and other guys came along and leaded them together again.
Acid was poured down the buildings to simulate centuries of wear.
The original building (Which is mostly admin stuff) and a few buildings they purchased throughout the 70s and 80s are older than the 1960s constructions. The buildings are beautiful, but their age is an illusion.
And the description of John Calhoun as “White supremacist” tells me everything I need to know about this article.
Soon our first 12 presidents will be described as “White supremacists”.
John Calhoun subscribed to the medical journals of the time that distributed throughout the south. In these journals doctors of the time would prescribe that the black man was more ape than man and as such do not understand the concepts of man like love, pride and free choices.
John Calhoun didn’t want these slaves to get power of course, but he also did quite a bit in the way of “minority rights”. Yes, yes yes... they were talked about as property and beasts of burden - but he pushed for humane treatment of the black slave like someone might push for the ethical treatment of horses and mules.
Lets not allow this history to be changed so wantonly.
Why would depicting blacks in slavery in a work of art be racist?
Reminds me of the Taliban blowing up the Bamiyan Buddhas.
Well, it's work that may have benefits in a field that doesn't usually offer benefits in a city that's not well off and not filled with high-paying jobs. I'm not sure it's anybody's dream job. You might find more esprit de corps and sense of self-worth working at a decent restaurant than at a college cafeteria -- more gratitude from the patrons for sure. Still, it's probably going to be the best job this guy will ever have.

Psst...don’t tell this guy what the NAACP stands for.
Yes but he’s attended school K-12. The same rubbish is being peddled there on our dime.
