Like clockwork, university academics wasted no time blaming the allegedly racially motivated shootings in Jacksonville, Florida on Gov. Ron DeSantis, President Trump, the Republican Party and … whiteness.
For example, Columbia University’s Anya Schiffrin, who recently earned a PhD on the topic of combatting “disinformation,” told Yahoo News that the “increase in polarization, the availability of guns and the virality of white supremacy is, tragically, a hallmark of political culture in the U.S.”
Michigan State University’s Danielle Brown, a journalism professor who specializes in “media representations and narrative change, reconciliation and reparative solutions and social movements and activism,” claimed that the “bevy” of black Americans being killed by those whose political beliefs “mirror a dominant and powerful party in the American political system” are merely the beginnings of a “genocide attempt.”
