My Six Years at Yale with the Woke Intersectional Feminists and How They Tried to Destroy Me (My Response to the James Hatch Essay, My Semester with the Snowflakes)

I want to start off by saying that James Hatch, the 52 year old Navy Seal and college freshman at Yale who traverses campus with his support animal, due to his PTSD, the author of the recent, viral essay, “My Semester with the Snowflakes,” seems like an absolutely lovely man. This response to his essay is not intended as a criticism of him in any way, shape, or form. I wish him nothing but the best in his studies. I just think it’s important for people to understand that his representation of Yale University as some kind of ideological or viewpoint diversity utopia was not at all my experience of Yale during the six years that I have spent as a PhD Candidate in Philosophy. In fact, his representation of Yale, and of so called safe spaces at Yale, is the antithesis of my experience thereof.

I am, of course, THE Sarah Braasch, the purported villain of the Living or Napping While Black Incident at Yale, and now I am in the midst of what I’m sure will ultimately be a decade long fight to save my life and lifelong human and civil rights academic and legal careers. In truth, I am the entirely innocent victim of the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale, and the Yale Administration and Police were complicit.

The Yale Administration and Police are fighting the release of the Yale Police Body Camera Footage from May 8th, 2018, which exposes them as liars. They told disgusting lies about me to cover up their own wrongdoing, and they didn’t care that they were destroying and endangering the life and career of an entirely innocent and lifelong human and civil rights licensed attorney activist and Yale graduate student. Yale Police Chief Ronnell Higgins continued to tell these disgusting lies about me on November 4th, 2019, in downtown Hartford, CT, at the CT Freedom of Information Act Commission Hearing. It shocked me to my core and broke my heart. Briefs are being submitted by both sides, which are due in mid January, 2020, and I am hopeful that the CT FOIA Commission Hearing Officer will decide in my favor shortly thereafter, so that I may continue my quest to not only save my life and career, but to restore civil liberties, including due process and free speech, at Yale, and at college and university campuses across the US, and everywhere. I will never stop fighting for justice for everyone who has been falsely accused, cyber mobbed, and defamed, especially for those who have already lost their lives, because they couldn’t handle the pain.

I’ve been working on my Saving the World Project, my Yale PhD Philosophy of Law and Language Dissertation, for over a decade, and now I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to complete it. I’m probably going to have to spend the next decade saving my life and career after having been vilified on a global scale as something akin to a genocidal villain, by Yale, the ACLU, the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, NBC News, The View, the Washington Post, GMA, and the list just goes on and on and on. I think you would be hard pressed to find a more complete and more wrongful devastation of an innocent nobody’s life.

My life was burned in grotesque effigy around the world, as if I were some murderous Pol Pot like despot, when, in fact, I was living like a hermit in my isolated dorm room at the top of a tower on Yale’s campus, and I wished for nothing more than to be left alone and in peace to complete my Saving the World Project. My Dissertation, The Statics and Mechanics of Social Institutions, is an analysis of how to minimize the oppression inherent to how aggregations of quasi-rational human beings construct their societies. I had dedicated my life to fighting oppression in all of its many forms. My reclusive lifestyle was not only the product of my scholastic devotion, but also was an arrangement especially crafted for me by Yale Housing, because of my mental health disabilities, including severe PTSD, following a life of egregious trauma and violence.

Despite this being known to Yale, they stood by and did nothing as I was being terrorized in my isolated dorm room and stalked across campus for months. In point of fact, the Yale Administration and Police assisted my tormentors in terrorizing me. It could not have been more obvious that the video that Lolade Siyonbola took of me on May 8th, 2018, standing in the threshold of my own isolated dorm room, without my knowledge or consent, which was a gross violation of my privacy, was intended to publicly shame me for my mental health disabilities. The entire moral outrage industry chose to ignore this fact, in order to exploit the apex of the Living While Black movement, and the ACLU went so far as to edit the video so as to obscure this point. They weren’t the only ones who did so.

The Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax didn’t take place over the course of a couple of early morning hours on May 8th, 2018. It took place over several months, during which I begged the Yale Administration and Police to help me stop the harassment and attacks. The instigating event occurred on February 24th, 2018, when Jean Louis Reneson, a complete stranger to me, followed me, in an unauthorized manner, in violation of Yale Housing Regulations, up to my isolated dorm room on the 12th floor of my dorm, the Hall of Graduate Studies. I made the fateful decision to err on the side of caution and to call the non emergency helpline of the Yale Campus Police, widely regarded as more or less campus security, as I had been repeatedly instructed to do over the years for any reason whatsoever.

The first thing I said to the Officer who answered the phone was to tell him that I wasn’t sure if his assistance was required. He told me that he would send someone by, just in case, just to make sure that everything was ok, and that this officer would come and speak with me. That never happened. But, what did happen that evening is that I was harassed by persons standing outside of my dorm room door, yelling mocking insults and obscenities into my room, ostensibly for having had the temerity to be concerned for my personal safety. Why this has never been regarded as a Me Too incident is beyond me. But, that seems to be the way that Woke Intersectional Feminism works.

But, my troubles did not begin on February 24th, 2018, because I had a reasonable concern for my personal safety and responded appropriately. I was actually exonerated for the February 24th, 2018 incident by the Yale Housing Managers who told me to return to my dissertation and not give the incident another thought. I was happy to do so, as I had no interest in destroying anyone’s life or career. I merely wished to be left in peace to complete my life’s work. But, Lolade Siyonbola and Jean Louis Reneson were determined that I should not be left in peace. Siyonbola and Reneson ultimately approached Yale Graduate School Diversity Dean and Title IX Coordinator Michelle Nearon and falsely accused me of having perpetrated a racist hate crime comparable to a lynching on February 24th, 2018. It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around the truth of this statement.

Subsequently, a group of Yale Deans decided to form a mob against me and to participate in the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax, to destroy my life and human and civil rights career. I was informed on Friday, March 2nd, 2018, by Yale Housing Director George Longyear, that these Yale Administrators had convened in some manner and determined punishments for me, for my racist behavior, including having to undergo implicit bias training, which was to be implemented as a new policy for all incoming graduate students, and having to participate in a public town hall, at which I was to publicly profess myself an egregious racist and help to teach other members of the Yale community how not to be racist like me. Yale Provost and University wide Title IX Coordinator Stephanie Spangler later confirmed to me that this mob of Yale Deans who were intent on publicly branding me a racist included Yale Graduate School Dean Lynn Cooley and Yale VP of Student Life Kimberly Goff-Crews.

Of course, I refused to participate in the Maoist struggle sessions that the Yale Administration had devised for me, because they regarded me as un Woke. This refusal sealed my fate. Thereafter, the Yale Administration would stop at nothing to destroy me, an innocent human and civil rights licensed attorney activist who worked with the Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law School on the issues of implicit bias and police brutality. I told Yale Housing Director George Longyear and Provosts Stephanie Spangler and Cynthia Smith that I could probably run an implicit bias training session for Yale, rather than need to sit through one.

At that time, I had no idea what had happened, and no one would tell me what it was that I was being accused of having said or done that was racist, and I had never seen Siyonbola and had no idea who she was. I only knew that I had never engaged in racist behavior in my entire life, and I wasn’t about to let the Yale Administration destroy my lifelong civil rights career by publicly branding me a racist. I told the Yale Administration, the Yale Police, and Yale’s General Counsel, in no uncertain terms, that I would take all appropriate measures, including legal measures, to protect my reputation and livelihood. I had nothing and no one besides my good name and reputation. That’s everything that I am, and I wasn’t about to let the Yale Administration destroy my life. But, they were obviously determined that I should be destroyed.

You are probably thinking, why on Earth would the Yale Administration be so hell bent on destroying one of their own? Why on Earth would the Yale Administration and Police choose to participate in a Hate Crime Hoax, targeting an older, non traditional, lower socio-economic class woman graduate student with mental health disabilities? If what was done to me sounds insane, that’s because it is insane, utterly insane. I have been living inside my own worst, hellish nightmare. It’s even hard for me to believe that this is my life now. I never could have imagined in a million years that this could have happened to me. What was done to me should terrify absolutely everyone. If this can happen to me, an entirely innocent human and civil rights licensed attorney activist, it can happen to absolutely anyone.

My nightmare at Yale truly began during my first year in the Philosophy PhD Program, in the Spring of 2015. I was so overjoyed when I found out, at the very last possible moment, that I had been accepted to Yale off of the waitlist that I curled up into the fetal position on the floor of my surrogate dads’ apartment in San Francisco and cried. The then Chair, Steve Darwall, had had to wait outside a Dean’s Office to get permission to make me an offer on April 15th, 2014, the last day on which to have done so. I was devastated when all of my hopes for my PhD Program experience at Yale were dashed by what took place in Spring 2015.

The Yale Philosophy Department was conducting a search for a tenure track Assistant Professor position. I hadn’t been much involved until I saw on our private email for graduate students that my cohort were taking issue with one of the job candidates. To make a long story short, this particular job candidate, our only POC job candidate, was an Evangelical Christian who had, to my mind, more or less expressed his adherence to Biblical scripture as Christian doctrine, including what he deemed to be a prohibition on sodomy, including homosexual sex, in years old comments on an online Christian forum. Apparently, the graduate students had gone trolling online for dirt on the job candidates, and they found what they were looking for. These comments were deemed anti-LGBTQ hate speech, and, ultimately, the grad students devised a campaign to deny this job candidate this position at Yale, including by interrupting his job talk with a protest, wearing rainbow wigs and t-shirts, etc. While I had initially attempted to gently dissuade them from arguably violating this candidate’s Federal Civil Rights, I finally had to tell them in no uncertain terms that I would not allow them to do this.

I was immediately denounced as anti-LGBTQ. There were multiple departmental meetings and tears and people running from the meetings, because they felt unsafe and attacked as self-identifying LGBTQ persons. I was branded persona non grata, which is not an unfamiliar position for me, and, yet, I was devastated. I had only just begun my studies at Yale, and I was once again a social pariah.

At some point, there was to be a meeting for the grad students only, a meeting I had zero intent of attending. A few of the faculty convinced me to go, saying that the other grad students wished to mend their relationship with me and put this behind us. It was even worse than I ever could have imagined. It was me sitting in the middle of a circle of approximately 20 grad students, while they berated me for hours, until I was bawling. They told me that I was stupid and evil and disparaged my philosophical and legal skills. I held firm, explaining that despite being an anti-religion advocate and decidedly pro LGBTQ rights, I was also a profoundly committed civil libertarian, civil rights licensed attorney activist, and free speech advocate, and that I could not in good conscience allow them to violate the Federal Civil Rights, the religious expression rights, of this Evangelical black man, who also happened to be our only POC job candidate. It was the last time that most of the other grad students spoke to me.

I was entirely socially ousted from the department. The grad students wouldn’t look at me except to glare at me; they wouldn’t respond to me, if I said hello or asked them a question; if I entered a room, they would stand up and leave it. I tried to steel myself, but it was more than I could bear. Eventually, the faculty pretty much insisted that I seek help at the mental health clinic at the student health center, because I was so distraught. I was treated for approximately the next two and a half or three years, including with the use of psychotropic medication, including anti-psychotics. This is the reason why I have a mental health history at Yale, a fact of which much was made during the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax by my tormentors.

Later during the summer of 2015, one of the grad students with whom I had remained friendly made me aware that the other graduate students had not been satisfied with merely socially ostracizing me; they approached the Administration with the intent of having me disciplined and even expelled for having expressed my allegedly anti-LGBTQ views. I was told that the faculty had stood up for me, which is the only reason, seemingly, that the Administration did not pursue any disciplinary procedures against me. And, I was told that the faculty kept this information from me, because of my fragile mental and emotional state.

Given the intimate, insular nature of Yale’s campus, it didn’t take long before I was widely known and despised across campus, certainly the doing of the disgruntled grad students, who hadn’t been able to oust me physically from Yale. I believe that my notoriety played some part in the repeated instances of harassment I experienced in on campus student housing.

I had no business being in on campus student housing, even for graduate students, but I had no choice, because I had no money. I’m older, 43 at the time of the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax, entirely devoted to my life’s work, suffer from severe PTSD, and just wanted everyone to abide by the Yale Housing Regulations and to live in a safe and clean and quiet environment. The Yale graduate students living in on campus housing decidedly did NOT, for the greater part, want to live in a safe and clean and quiet environment. In a nutshell, the graduate students who harassed me in on campus housing, were incensed that I had had the temerity to ask them to behave in a civilized manner. I’m sure that they knew who I was, believed that I was an anti-LGBTQ bigot, and also saw me as old, crazy, poor white trash. Who was I to tell them to stop screaming and yelling and vomiting and pooping everywhere on the quiet floor at all hours of the day and night? Who was I to want to actually be able to use the communal bathroom and toilets on the weekends? Who was I to want a little peace and quiet and to be able to work on my PhD Dissertation?

I think most people fail to appreciate the way that class played a role in my ostensible disposability as a human being during the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale. No one had a problem beating the piñata that is my life to pieces, because they saw me as a poor white trash interloper who had no business being at Yale amongst the elite. I actually had to flee Yale’s campus for my life, while being taunted by a mob, and immediately go into hiding, following May 8th, 2018. Everyone and their 2nd cousin once removed took turns bashing me in the Yale Daily News in grossly defamatory Op Eds for Social Justice Warrior and Woke Intersectional Feminism street cred points, and no one stopped to even consider the obvious, that I was an entirely innocent human and civil rights licensed attorney activist who had been falsely accused and then subjected to a campaign to publicly shame me for my mental health disabilities. So much for Yale’s new Belonging at Yale initiative. I guess everyone gets to Belong at Yale except for older, poorer, lower socio-economic class white women graduate students with mental health disabilities.

So, after what may euphemistically be described as a rocky few years at Yale, I believe that the Yale Administration were positively thrilled when Lolade Siyonbola approached them with her false accusation that I had perpetrated a racist hate crime comparable to a lynching. They had been salivating for another bite at the expulsion apple. This is what happens when you stray but a hair from Woke Intersectional Feminism dogma at Yale. This is what happens when you dare to defend the Federal Civil Rights, the religious expression rights, of an Evangelical black man at Yale. This is what happens when you demand to live in a safe, clean, quiet environment in on campus graduate student housing at Yale, as an older, non-traditional female graduate student. This is what happens when you’re a deeply committed civil libertarian who believes in free speech and due process for one and all at Yale.

But there’s more. It’s hard to believe that there’s more, but there is. After May 8th, 2018, the Yale Administration grilled me about my philosophical and legal views, because, ostensibly, they’ve adopted Maoism now. Around a decade ago or so, I was a fairly popular essayist in the online world of secularism, freethinkers, atheists, and skeptics, etc. Following the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale, my online pieces were scoured and willfully and grossly twisted and misconstrued. My single word choices were cherry picked, removed from context, and painted as racist and ugly, when, in truth, these are anti-oppression pieces and are not racist or bigoted in any way, shape, or form.

The Yale Administration got in on the act. They interrogated me over a decade old blog post in which I expressed what I now know to be my exclusive legal positivism as a legal theorist. They questioned me about having described racism as a silly social construct, meaning (which is more than abundantly clear from context) that I think racism is stupidity. And, they harangued my opposition to hate crime legislation as grossly unconstitutional, which it is, and this is a perfectly respectable legal and philosophical view. One essay, which has been incessantly propagated around the globe, includes a description of a mandatory public middle school assignment when I was 11 or 12 years old, in Wisconsin. I was assigned the task of arguing the pro slavery position in a debate on slavery in social studies class, a task that I decry in the essay. My team won the debate, and I explain how. I am now routinely described as a slavery apologist, to my horror.

Additionally, I was grilled over my pro burqa ban position, which I developed while working with Ni Putes Ni Soumises (NPNS) in Paris, France for a year. NPNS is a group of mostly fierce women from the predominantly Muslim immigrant ghettoized suburbs surrounding the major cities of France. They unapologetically fight for women’s rights as universal human rights, and the three pillars of their movement are: secularism, gender equality, and gender desegregation. They see, as do I, burqa bans as public desegregation measures, as civil rights laws. I concur with the dominant French view that free and unfettered access to an egalitarian public space is part and parcel of one’s citizenship, and there can be no hierarchy of stratified citizenship in a secular, liberal, constitutional democratic republic. The French are definitely right about this one. But, supporting burqa bans (face coverings, including the niqab) is considered un Woke these days in the US, as is any criticism of Islam.

And, last, but certainly not least, I have one essay where I explicate my strong position on free speech, not absolutism, but quite strong. The title of this essay has been bandied far and wide as evidence of my egregious racism. It is also what I consider to be my catchphrase: I LOVE Hate Speech, and I HATE Hate Crime Legislation. Provocative to be sure, but if anyone had actually bothered to read this anti-oppression essay, they would have realized immediately that I am not referring to the substantive content of what is deemed hate speech. I explicitly state that I do nothing so well as defend my own free speech rights when I defend the manifestation of speech that I regard as the most abominable, the most obscene, the most rank. And, I always make clear it is most often the marginalized and oppressed whose speech is deemed hate speech by the powerful. The Yale Administration grilled me about this one too.

After May 8th, 2018, the Yale Administration, including President Peter Salovey, made a string of grossly defamatory public statements about me. They knew that I was entirely innocent, but they were trying to cover up their complicity in the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax. They didn’t want the public to know that they had targeted me for my mental health disabilities and egregiously violated my Federal Civil Rights. My life and career were completely and utterly decimated. I will never recover. I will never be able to support myself. Everything that I had worked for has been destroyed. I can’t even tell you how many times I almost killed myself. I went into literal physical shock. I would shake uncontrollably on the hour, every hour, with chills. I couldn’t eat or sleep. It was surreal.

At the beginning of June, 2018, Yale Graduate School Dean Lynn Cooley sent me notice that she was charging me with racial harassment. They were going to try to expel me. I was completely flabbergasted. I had begged Dean Cooley on May 8th, 2018, to retract and correct her disgusting lies about me, and she bluntly dismissed me. In July, 2018, Yale’s General Counsel admitted to the attorney my surrogate dads had hired to stop Yale from wrongfully expelling me that there was absolutely no reason to think that I had ever acted out of racial bias or animus in any way, shape, or form. They also dropped the racial component of the harassment charges, a fact which they later denied. I thought I saw the faintest glimmer of a light at the end of the tunnel, until August 1st, 2018.

At the beginning of August, 2018, Yale President Peter Salovey released a public statement that can only be construed as meant to devastated my life, reputation, livelihood, and lifelong human and civil rights academic and legal careers. He precluded the possibility of my receiving a fair hearing and any due process rights whatsoever. I know for a fact that persons inside the Yale Administration warned him against releasing the statement. I know that they told him that his statement was grossly defamatory and illegal and immoral and would endanger my life and probably drive me to suicide. Yale President Peter Salovey didn’t care. He didn’t care if I died. I just want to remind everyone that Yale’s motto is Lux et Veritas, or Light and Truth.

At the beginning of October, 2018, Yale withdrew all charges against me. But, without any due process whatsoever, Yale Graduate School Dean Lynn Cooley permanently banned me from campus and from teaching at Yale. I cannot describe the devastation I felt. Well, they finally got what they wanted. The Yale Administration succeeded in destroying me by publicly branding me a racist, as my punishment for straying but a hair from Woke Intersectional Feminism dogma. They couldn’t allow an actual hearing to take place, because I would have been exonerated and the Yale Administration would have been exposed for what they are: bigoted liars content to throw an innocent grad student under the bus to save their own skins.

The Yale Administration was not content to have exploded my life into a million little pieces. They continue to lead the global defamation campaign against me to this day. In early 2019, they released their farcical and ridiculous Title VI Review Report, which grossly defames me. It is so obviously an attempt to cover up their wrongdoing and justify their illegal and immoral public statements about me that it’s a joke. And, they decided NOT to create a Title VI Office on campus! If Yale actually cared about making students of color feel safe and welcome on Yale’s campus, then they would create a Title VI Office, but the Administration doesn’t want to do that, because they don’t want to have to recognize the due process rights of accused faculty and students. They want to be able to just throw them to the wolves as they did to me. Yale has since announced the creation of a vast Maoist bureaucracy for reporting students and faculty for racial harassment sans any due process whatsoever, led, of course, by VP of Student Life Kimberly Goff-Crews. Also, a number of persons inside Yale told me that the Administration was orchestrating, to the greatest extent possible, the media response to the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale. It boggles the mind the number of persons who have received honors and awards and paid positions at Yale since participating in the destruction of my life and career. Defaming Sarah Braasch was good for business and the pocketbook and one’s social media profile in 2018 and 2019.

I am still a PhD Candidate at Yale in Philosophy. I will finish my dissertation and graduate, but my dissertation will not be what I was hoping it would be. But, the important thing is to finish. I can expand on it later. I will never have a career in academia now. Of course, I hope to pursue all appropriate legal remedies. I am struggling to raise legal funds. I am working on a book proposal, and I hope to secure an advance to secure my legal representation. I am also hoping to monetize my YouTube Channel soon, where I reveal the truth about the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale. I have filed numerous formal complaints with the Federal Office for Civil Rights, but, so far, they have not expressed any interest whatsoever in helping me secure justice at Yale. I have literally begged them just to open an investigation. Many people have told me that the Federal OCR isn’t going to help me, because they don’t like cases that fly in the face of Woke Intersectional Feminism. I continue to wait and hope that the decision of the CT FOIA Commission Hearing Officer will be in my favor, and the world will get to see how the Yale Administration and Police told disgusting lies about me.

I am the prime example of why Woke Intersectional Feminism is bigotry and stupidity. For this reason, I continue to be attacked. Those persons whose livelihoods and ideologies and credibility depend upon me being the genocidal villain that they claimed continue to do everything in their power to thwart my efforts to save my life and career. But, I will never stop fighting for vindication and justice. I will never stop fighting for everyone whose life and career have been destroyed by false accusations and the moral outrage industry. I will never stop fighting for the restoration of civil liberties, including due process and free speech, at Yale and campuses across the US and everywhere. I will never stop fighting for Lux et Veritas, for Light and Truth.

If you wish to know who is evil and who is good, just look at who is gloating about my Twitter suspension, hoping it will drive me to suicide, and who is supporting me during my wrongful suspension.

If you want to know which persons are pure evil and which persons are good and have love in their hearts, just look at how they are reacting to my Twitter suspension.

Those persons who are gloating about the loss of my Twitter Account, hoping that it will finally be the loss that pushes me over the edge and drives me to suicide, because they know that if I live and survive that they will be exposed as the racist liars and charlatans and frauds that they are, are the evil ones.

Those persons who have provided me succor and solace during my time of need and my wrongful suspension are the good ones with love in their hearts for me and humanity.

This isn’t personal. I am on a God given and guided path to restore civil liberties on college campuses, including at Yale, and everywhere, including both free speech and due process. I will never stop fighting for justice for everyone who has been falsely accused and cyber mobbed, including on twitter. With or without my Twitter account.

I will NEVER LIE. I would rather die with my integrity intact, because I know that I will be immediately embraced by my beautiful, red haired guardian angel brothers, and all those who watch over me, but not on Earth.

The fact of the matter is that I still desperately need my Twitter account to save my life and human and civil rights academic and legal careers. That’s just the honest to God truth. I’m feeling beside myself at the moment over the suspension. Yes, I have other venues, but nothing has been as effective as Twitter and nothing will be. Yes, of course, Twitter played a role in my demise, but it has also been my primary means of getting the truth out about the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale. The only reason why I have any chance at all to save my life and career is because of Twitter. That’s just the simple truth.

Also, Twitter literally saved my life by providing me an outlet for my despair and by connecting me to supporters and fellow cancelleds and falsely accused. Twitter put me in touch with journalists who worked tirelessly to reveal the truth about my plight. No Twitter, no Cathy Young.

So, given this state of affairs, I am more than prepared to grovel like Pete Buttigieg in front of Michael Harriot of The Root. Ha ha ha ha. I couldn’t resist. But, seriously, I am prepared to accept whatever restrictions that Twitter Support wishes to impose to get my account reinstated. I am happy to stop using the @ function all together. I am happy to no longer name individuals at all. Whatever it takes.

My YouTube Video About My Twitter Suspension, AND If You Want to Help Me Secure Justice, Please Subscribe to My YouTube Channel

I’m not groveling like Pete Buttigieg in front of Michael Harriot of The Root in this video, but I wanted to post a quick blog post with my YouTube Channel video about my Twitter suspension. I remain hopeful that Twitter will lift the suspension. I have told them that I truly still need my Twitter account to save my life and human and civil rights academic and legal careers, and I am prepared to accept whatever restrictions. Also, my Shonda Rhimes tweets were simply NOT Hateful Conduct. They just weren’t.

Also, I just wanted to ask everyone to please subscribe to my YouTube Channel. If you wish to help me secure justice, and you are unable to donate to my Legal Fund, the next best thing is to subscribe to my YouTube Channel. I am getting really close to being able to monetize my YouTube Channel, which I hope to use to raise legal funds to sue Yale and the entire moral outrage industry, but I need more subscribers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The Simple Fact of the Matter is that I am Being Silenced by Twitter, Because it is Super Inconvenient for Everyone if I Turn Out to Be Innocent, WHICH I AM.

I just want to take a moment to make something perfectly clear, in case anyone was unaware of this point.

The simple fact is that I am being silenced by Twitter. I know it. Jack Dorsey knows it. Yale knows it. The ACLU knows it. The New York Times knows it. The Washington Post & CNN & MSNBC & NBC News all know it. The View knows it. GMA knows it. The Daily Show knows it. The entire Moral Outrage Industry and the Fake News Press and all of the state legislatures across the US who cited me as the impetus for grossly unconstitutional hate crime legislation, and all of the Woke Intersectional Feminists everywhere, KNOW that I am being silenced. And, they are all extremely happy about this state of affairs.

It is beyond inconvenient for pretty much the entire world who participated in the global defamation campaign against me that almost got me killed and destroyed my life and lifelong human and civil rights academic and legal careers, if I turn out to be entirely innocent, WHICH I AM.

It is super inconvenient for all of the Woke Intersectional Feminists and Social Justice Warriors and Moral Outrage Warriors, in academia and the Fake News press and in state legislatures across the US, whose ideologies and careers and credibility depend upon me being the genocidal villain that they claimed, if the Living or Napping While Black Incident at Yale turns out to be a Hate Crime Hoax, WHICH IT IS.

So, of course, I’m being silenced. Does this shock anyone?

The Actual Shonda Rhimes Tweets for which I was Suspended by Twitter for Hateful Conduct (Shocker: It’s not hateful conduct.)

Here they are:

First:

When @shondarhimes thinks it’s ok to try to cyber bully & mob an innocent civil rights activist w/ mental health disabilities into suicide on twitter, because she’s ostensibly crazy, poor white trash, you know we have a problem. If this can happen to me, it can happen to ANYONE.

And, the Reply:

All she had to do was google my name to learn that I am a human & civil rights activist who had dedicated her life to fighting oppression globally. No, she has never apologized to me for what she did. I can’t even guess how many death threats I received, b/c of what she did.

And, that’s all folks. 🙂

Dear friends, I love all of you so much for being concerned about me. Don’t worry. I’m not suicidal. I’m remaining calm during my Twitter suspension, which is indefinite, as far as I know, but I have submitted an appeal. Brian Leiter and Cathy Young and Skeptic Review (Gretchen) have been providing me with wonderful support. I have to believe that this was an automated overreaction during the holidays to an orchestrated mass reporting of a non event. I hope very much and expect to have the suspension lifted soon, as soon as it crosses the desk of an actual human being. I was suspended for hateful conduct, which Twitter defines as targeting someone for their membership in a protected class, and I obviously did NOTHING of the kind. The suspension is preposterous. Twitter has to find a better way to deal with mass reports as harassment. In fact, I was pointing out that I was the person who had been targeted, because of MY membership in protected classes. And, I was simply speaking the truth. If Twitter defines the truth as suspension worthy hate speech, then we’re in trouble. If Twitter defines even criticizing a public figure with 2 M followers who has attacked you, if the public figure happens to be a POC, as suspension worthy hate speech, then we’re in very serious trouble.

I love you all so much. I’m keeping busy making YouTube videos. Please watch and subscribe. And, I’m working on my response essay to James Hatch’s essay on Medium about his one semester experience at Yale: My Semester with the Snowflakes. Mine is called: My Six Years at Yale with the Woke Intersectional Feminists and How They Tried to Destroy Me. Ha ha ha ha. xoxoxo

The Philosophy Academic Community Has a Responsibility to Step In Now and to Help Me Save My Life and Human and Civil Rights Academic and Legal Careers

I am failing miserably at saving my life and lifelong human and civil rights academic and legal careers. The powers that be, including twitter and Yale and ACLU and the New York Times, et al., are determined that I should fail at saving my life and career, and they, including the entire moral outrage industry, are winning. I am failing.

It’s because I am a person of profound integrity with principles. I refuse to lie, even if it would help me to secure support and legal funds and press coverage.

I would rather die with my integrity intact, because I know, at the moment of my death, that I will be embraced in God’s love, as well as the love of my beautiful, red haired guardian angel brothers, and my beautiful Grandmothers.

I have been recently and wrongfully suspended by twitter. I need my twitter account to save my life and human and civil rights academic and legal careers. I don’t know what to do.

The Philosophy Academic Community has a responsibility to step in now and to help me save my life and career. They, largely, tore me to shreds. For the most part, the philosophy academic community jumped on the global defamation campaign bandwagon, and they were happy to burn me in grotesque effigy for moral outrage industry profit and gain. They either knew or had every reason to know that I was entirely innocent. And, if anyone had any questions, all they had to do was google my name or phone one of my mentors and advisors at Yale to determine the truth of the matter, i.e., that the Living or Napping While Black Incident at Yale was a Hate Crime Hoax, and I was its entirely innocent victim.

I want to make clear not to include the philosophy faculty at Yale in this, as well as a good part of the Yale Law School Faculty. They stood by my side during the entire nightmare. Yale’s General Counsel told my then attorney that they were shocked at the way that the Yale Philosophy and Law Faculty fought tirelessly to save me. They also stood by my side in Spring 2015, when the Yale Administration tried to expel me for having stood up for the Federal Civil Rights, the religious expression rights, of an Evangelical black man at Yale, our only POC job candidate for an Assistant Professor tenure track position.

In particular, Justin Weinberg and the commenters at Daily Nous, a popular philosophy academic community blog, relished tearing my life and lifelong human and civil rights academic and legal careers to shreds to score social justice warrior and Woke Intersectional Feminism street cred points. This shocked me. Justin Weinberg knew I was the person who had defended the Federal Civil Rights of an Evangelical black man at Yale back in Spring 2015. But, regardless of this fact, I was not the person who leaked the information about the controversy in Spring 2015 to Daily Nous, even though I was absolutely accused of having done so. Justin Weinberg can confirm this point.

I was also shocked when Vesla Mae Weaver and Chris Lebron, both currently at Johns Hopkins, chose to take advantage of the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale and the destruction of my life and civil rights career, to exploit me as a proxy to get revenge against Yale. Both Vesla Weaver and Chris Lebron knew me, and Chris Lebron knew me well. I had worked with him on more than one explicitly anti-racism conference at Yale. They knew that I was not only a prison abolitionist, but also a punishment abolitionist, in no small part part due to the fact that these institutions have a profound and disparate impact on marginalized persons and communities, especially persons and communities of color. They both knew that I worked with the Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law School on the issues of implicit bias and police brutality. Needless to say, this shocked me to my core and broke my heart. I feel that their behavior disqualifies them from teaching and mentoring grad students. They lied about me, knowing that they were placing the life of an innocent graduate student whom they knew in danger.

Please help me to save my life. I am failing. I am losing this battle. I need help. I am rallying the troops whom I know know that I am an entirely innocent and lifelong human and civil rights licensed attorney activist who had dedicated her life to fighting oppression in all of its many forms and who is working on a Saving the World Project, my Yale PhD Dissertation.

Please help me. I have so much to give to the world. Don’t let Yale and the entire moral outrage industry destroy me for money and gain and to cover up their own wrongdoing. Please help me to save my life.

I Asked Reginald Dwayne Betts of Yale Law, Tommie Shelby of Harvard, and John Jost of NYU to Please Help Me Save My Life

I am failing miserably at saving my life and lifelong human and civil rights academic and legal careers. The powers that be, including twitter and Yale and ACLU and the New York Times, et al., are determined that I should fail at saving my life and career, and they, including the entire moral outrage industry, are winning. I am failing.

I would rather die with my integrity intact, because I know, at the moment of my death, that I will be embraced in God’s love, as well as the love of my beautiful, red haired guardian angel brothers, and my beautiful Grandmothers.

I have been recently and wrongfully suspended by twitter. I need my twitter account to save my life and human and civil rights academic and legal careers. I don’t know what to do.

So, I decided to just reach out to those persons in academia whom I know know that I am entirely innocent. I know that they know that I am the victim of the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale.

I reached out to Reginald Dwayne Betts of Yale Law School, Tommie Shelby of Harvard, and John Jost of NYU. I am desperate. I just said: Please help me save my life and my lifelong human and civil rights academic and legal careers. I know that you know, or, at least, I hope that you know that I am entirely innocent.

Reginald Dwayne Betts was imprisoned for years as a teenager after carjacking a car. I worked with Dwayne, as well as Tommie Shelby of Harvard and John Jost of NYU on explicitly anti-racism conferences at Yale. They know that I am not only a prison abolitionist, but a punishment abolitionist, because of the disparate and profound impact of these institutions on marginalized persons, especially on persons and communities of color.

Please help me to save my life. I am failing. I am losing this battle. I need help. I am rallying the troops whom I know know that I am an entirely innocent and lifelong human and civil rights licensed attorney activist who had dedicated her life to fighting oppression in all of its many forms and who is working on a Saving the World Project, my Yale PhD Dissertation.

Please help me. I have so much to give to the world. Don’t let Yale and the entire moral outrage industry destroy me for money and gain and to cover up their own wrongdoing. Please help me to save my life.

The Point I Was Trying to Make with my Shonda Rhimes Tweet Is:

The point I was trying to make with my Shonda Rhimes tweet, or, rather, the Main Point I was trying to make is this: If this can happen to me, a lifelong and entirely innocent human and civil rights licensed attorney activist working on a Saving the World project who had dedicated her life to fighting oppression, then this can happen to literally ANYONE. And, that should terrify you. If you think you’re safe from being cyber mobbed on twitter by blue check mark activists with millions of followers, if you think you’re safe from being defamed on a global scale, if you think this could never in a million years happen to you, you’re wrong.

That’s what I thought. I have never engaged in racist behavior in my life. It is antithetical to everything that I am. I grew up in a racially integrated religious cult, the Jehovah’s Witnesses. The notion that I would be suspicious of a black person because of the color of their skin is too ludicrous to contemplate, except as an indication of how stupid someone is. I had dedicated my life to fighting oppression in all of its many forms.

And, yet, I was vilified on a global scale as something akin to a genocidal villain. People were calling for me to be expelled from Yale, disbarred from the NYS Bar, stripped of my livelihood, raped, murdered, drawn and quartered. People, including blue check mark public figures on twitter with millions of followers did this. I never could have imagined in a million years that something like this could have happened to me. I was living like a hermit at the top of a tower on Yale’s campus, in my isolated dorm room, and I rarely left my room, because I was struggling with my mental health disabilities, including severe PTSD, and then a day or two later, Shonda Rhimes was tweeting about me, or, rather, tweeting about a grotesque effigy of me, someone whom I could never recognize as myself. She said that I’m terrified of black people and that I try to police them and that I’m the one who needs to be policed. She said that to her two million followers. Can you imagine how many of them sent me death threats after she did that? If she had even bothered to google my name, she would have seen immediately that I’m a lifelong human and civil rights activist. But, I was just some white woman to her who had been accused of racism by a black woman, so she couldn’t care less if she destroyed me.

Anyway, I just wanted to make that clear. I continue to wait to hear back from twitter. Again, I just want to make clear how preposterous this suspension is. I was pointing out the fact that I had been targeted, because of MY membership in protected classes. How on earth can this be hateful conduct, as twitter defines it, is beyond me. I was targeting NO ONE on the basis of their membership in a protected class. I was calling out Shonda Rhimes for having targeted ME on the basis of MY membership in protected classes. This is not the first time Twitter has punished me for doing this as hateful conduct. This is something that Twitter must address. I think that this must have been a mistake, and I think that this must have been an automated response. I can only assume that Twitter will correct this error.

I do recognize that if I do get my account back that I need to be super careful from now on. I have a target on my back, and Twitter has been less than sympathetic to my cause. I still need my twitter account to save my life and career at this point. I am actually beside myself with worry over the suspension. I hope it is resolved soon.
