Award-winning political scientist and former professor Carol Swain sounded off Tuesday morning shortly after Harvard released a full-throated defense of President Claudine Gay. The board’s expression of support came a week after Gay’s disastrous congressional testimony and amid allegations she plagiarized portions of her dissertation, including from Swain’s work.

“I rarely get angry, but I am angry,” she wrote on X, with a red-faced emoji. “[R]ight now about the racial double standards that are TEMPORARILY giving #ClaudineGay an opportunity to resign. White progressives created her and white progressives are protecting her. The rest of us have had to work our rear ends off to achieve success. Some get it handed to them. #Adversityofdiversity #DEI # affirmativeaction #HarvardisAntisemitic #PresidentGay”

In an interview with journalist Christopher Rufo, who broke the plagiarism story with Christopher Brunet, Swain explains it wasn’t just a matter of a few paragraphs of ripped-off work, but she believes that Gay’s “whole research agenda, her whole career, was based on my work.”
In this exclusive report, @RealChrisBrunet and I examine Harvard President Claudine Gay's Ph.D. dissertation, which contains repeated instances of plagiarism, as defined by Harvard's academic integrity policies.
The bottom line: She must resign.https://t.co/lwbSA9DGUL — Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) December 11, 2023
While Swain rose to prominence in the early ‘90s, she described how academia began to turn on her when she started criticizing race-based affirmative action.
Despite both being African-American, Swain detailed how differently the two were treated.
“She became president of Harvard and got recognition as being its first black president. I don’t believe her record warranted tenure, and I believe that I had to meet a much higher standard than she did,” Swain told Rufo. “Something changed in the mid-1990s, [when] we were having a big affirmative action debate.”
The academic noted how standards started getting watered down in the mid-‘90s when the elites decided to support affirmative action and "they needed someone like her."
Asked to clarify, Swain explained how "White progressives have always rewarded the blacks who supported their ideas. Someone more mainstream, like me, could never be rewarded in the same way."
Swain expressed her belief that Harvard's board ought to apply the same standards with regard to Gay and the plagiarism allegations as they would anyone else.
"And under these circumstances, what do you think would happen to a white person?" Rufo wondered. Advertisement
To Swain, the answer was clear: "A white male would probably already be gone."
Stay tuned, however. The saga may not be over just yet.
The Harvard Crimson is now reporting that Claudine Gay's tenure might be in jeopardy following the revelations of serial plagiarism. pic.twitter.com/NjaSkOlvMH — Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) December 12, 2023

GFY, beyatch. You're (a different) part of the problem.
in her congressional testimony, Gay wrote, “Four Score and seven years ago...
The following from her Wikihahahahapedia page is interesting:
n 2002, Swain argued against reparations for American descendants of slaves during an event at Delaware State University, a historically black university.[50] In 2005, she called for President George W. Bush to issue a formal apology to African Americans for the institution of slavery.[51] She also wrote a policy document on the subject for the Heartland Institute.[52] When an apology was eventually issued in 2009, during the presidency of Barack Obama, she called it "meaningless"[53] and expressed disappointment that it did not happen under the previous president, a Republican, as "it would have shed that racist scab on the party."[53]
In her delusional mind, the party of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil Rights Act is racist. NOTHING she says can be taken seriously. Of course, anyone who would plagiarize her is even dumber.
Repeal 19.
Wow. Another intersectionality puzzle. Let’s see: except for trans, black women are at the top of the pyramid these days. Claudine Gay may or not be gay, but does having that word in her name put her over the top in DEI points?
like most of the left...Harvard itself has become the greatest scam as it has been hijacked to deconstruct the West on behalf of its alums and those desiring -and funding -to rule a much smaller earth population...
Whatever it takes to take out the garbage.
I think I see the problem. You get your information from Wackopudia.
I might not agree with everything Carol Swain says, but to state that “NOTHING” she says can be taken seriously, when much of what she has written and said parallels the writings and sentiments of great minds like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams is ridiculous.
If she’s so bad from a conservative standpoint why does the left loathe her?
I can imagine the new Harvard grads will get a certain look when they show up for interviews. Ain’t gonna be pretty.
I remember back in the 90s when I was interviewing for an undergrad research assistant in EE. The candidate, a black female, was telling me all about her plans - to get a BS degree and go to work for someone who would pay her tuition, etc. while she worked to get an MBA from a prestigious university like Harvard. She thought that was commonly accepted - all her black friends in her classes were doing the same thing. She didn’t get the job.
That means it's serious.
“is because the southern white culture has changed to embracing conservative values”
Always was. Never changed.
Not intelligent, just crafty.
Swain: “White progressives have always rewarded the blacks who supported their ideas.”
She almost got there.
The correct answer:
White “progressives” (= totalitarian freaks) have always weaponized the blacks who supported their “ideas” (= propaganda).
“The issue is not the issue. The revolution is the issue.”
“The White liberal is the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the Black man. Let me first explain what I mean by this White liberal.
In America there’s no such thing as Democrats and Republicans anymore. That’s antiquated. In America you have liberals and conservatives. This is what the American political structure boils down to among Whites. The only people who are still living in the past and thinks in terms of “I’m a Democrat” or “I’m a Republican” is the American Negro. He’s the one who runs around bragging about party affiliation and he’s the one who sticks to the Democrat or sticks to the Republican, but White people in America are divided into two groups, liberals and Republicans…or rather, liberals and conservatives.
And when you find White people vote in the political picture, they’re not divided in terms of Democrats and Republicans, they’re divided consistently as conservatives and as liberal. The Democrats who are conservative vote with Republicans who are conservative. Democrats who are liberals vote with Republicans who are liberals. You find this in Washington, DC.
Now the White liberals aren’t White people who are for independence, who are liberal, who are moral, who are ethical in their thinking, they are just a faction of White people who are jockeying for power the same as the White conservatives are a faction of White people who are jockeying for power. Now they are fighting each other for booty, for power, for prestige and the one who is the football in the game is the Negro. Twenty million Black people in this country are a political football, a political pawn an economic football, an economic pawn, a social football, a social pawn...”

This is real, it happens.
During the early 90's I had to hire 4 geologists to sit drill rigs on a big project in Idaho and I refused to even interview anyone from U of Montana. The school was a total leftist institution, including a professor in the forestry department describing how best to spike trees so they would cause the most damage to a sawmill. Big investigation and no calls for resignation.
