NY Times FAIL: Naima Lowe’s Racist Reign of Terror (Part 1)

So the New York Times finally sent a reporter to Evergreen State College, more than three weeks after the unrest began on May 23, when dozens of leftist students were caught on video surrounding and shouting down a professor, Bret Weinstein, for having objected to an official policy of racial segregation on campus (a request that all whites leave for the day).

Only in Bizarro World would college students brand a professor as “racist” for speaking out against racial segregation, and advocating color-blind policies.

Only in Bizarro World would a supposedly “elite” newspaper like the New York Times fail to document — or even mention — evidence that a prime mover behind the crisis at Evergreen is a foul-mouthed, anti-American, black and queer professor, Naima Lowe.

And only in Bizarro World would such a supposedly “elite” newspaper publish an article mentioning the criticism of Lowe without mentioning any of the actions taken by Lowe which led to her being criticized.

But that’s exactly the world we live in, for in its June 16 article, the Times describes Lowe as “a media professor who has opposed” Weinstein and as a victim, who has been “mercilessly ridiculed online.”

This brought a sharp retort from Weinstein, who promptly flagged the Times‘s failure to mention that one reason Lowe had been attacked online was that Lowe herself, in an online posting, mercilessly ridiculed and attacked Weinstein’s wife, and fellow professor, Heather Heying.

It was on May 26 that Lowe made a racist attack on, and apparent threat against, Heying, in response to Heying’s May 25 e-mail to administrators, in which she expressed concerns (during the takeover of the campus by leftist students) about the physical safety of professors on campus.

In response, did Lowe seek to assuage Heying’s concerns? No. She sought to elevate them. In her May 26 Facebook post, Lowe revealed herself to be a racist bully whose response to white people who disagree with her (she believes all white people are racist) is to threaten them with physical harm. (According to Lowe, it’s “good” to make white people “feel targeted and defensive.” ) In her Facebook post, Lowe appeared to direct white women agitators to kidnap Heying, apparently either to force her off campus or else detain her for interrogation (the exact aim wasn’t specified).

Here’s Lowe’s racist threat against Heying (posted May 26 on Facebook):

All the essential information concerning Lowe’s racist online bullying of, and apparent threat against, Weinstein’s wife was available more than two weeks before the Times published on June 16, yet the Times ignores it, while portraying Lowe as a victim because others have attacked her online.

The Times warns of “The Coming Competence Crisis.” However, as John Hinderaker has observed, that crisis is already here for readers of the Times. Had the Times exercised a modicum of journalistic competence, it would have at least mentioned what Lowe did to Heying, which vividly illustrates the racist reign of terror currently being carried out by Lowe at Evergreen. David Horowitz is right in highlighting Lowe’s central importance to this story:

As formerly esteemed news outlets fall by the wayside (for example, the Washington Post,  now ridiculed as the Washington Compost, doesn’t just report and even create fake news, but also engages in Stalinist memory-holing in hopes of covering up its errors), the rest of us must take up the slack, working to do what MSM journalists used to do — uncover actual facts and report real news.

So, as the first installment in a series of posts which will focus on documenting Lowe’s reign of racist terror at Evergreen, here (and embedded below) is a video which consists primarily of excerpts from Weinstein’s May 30 interview on the Rubin Report (full video here), in which Weinstein detailed the facts concerning Lowe’s May 25 Facebook threat against his wife.

The video breaks news, at 7:20 to 8:05, by publishing excerpts from Weinstein’s May 26 e-mail to the college president, complaining of Lowe’s Facebook threat to his wife, and Lowe’s May 27 response, in which she doubled down on her claim that both Weinstein and his wife are racists. She also asserted that her Facebook post was not actually a threat (at least if read by an Ebonics speaker, perhaps with the aid of a secret decoder ring). Heying’s May 25 e-mail on campus safety, which triggered Lowe’s Facebook post, is not depicted in the video. It is published for the first time here.

Here’s a thumbnail sketch of the evidence covered in the video concerning Lowe’s central role in fomenting unrest at the school:

1. On May 23 Lowe, of course (viral video now has more than 174,000 views), was caught on video engaging in racist bullying of white professors (1:36 to 3:34).
2.  In faculty meetings Lowe twice charged Weinstein with being a racist. On one occasion she told him he would not be allowed a forum in which to defend himself against the charge, a point administrators declined to contest. (3:36 to 4:26)
3. The chaos on campus is largely the product of a partnership between Lowe and the new college president. (4:36 to 5:31).
4. Lowe’s control over the school is so complete that when she speaks at a faculty meeting and makes vile and false allegations that the school is permeated with intense racism, instead of challenging her, faculty members give her profuse thanks for her comments. “The thanking of the real racist is so troubling,” Weinstein remarks. (5:31 to 6:20)
5. As already discussed, Lowe’s Facebook threat against Weinstein’s wife. (6:20 to 9:31).
6. Finally, the video ends with excerpts from a speech Lowe gave in 2015, at a gay pride festival, in which she stated that “every single white person” is racist; that she enjoys engaging in racist bullying of white people to make them “feel targeted and defensive”; and that “America the Beautiful” is a “fucking embarrassing” song. (9:45 to 10:25)
