I'm just coming around to what apparently happened to @CharlesMBlow's son at the hands of @Yale police. As an alum, I'm not surprised.

Despite Calhoun's profound racism,
@Yale named a residential college after him and insists on keeping his name, likeness and his legacy. -
Meanwhile,
@Yale 's busy building a 13th residential college. We're petitioning to finally name one after a poc. Note: it's 2015. -
It's not just Calhoun College at
@Yale. I can share dozens of stories about my time there and how the school is institutionally racist. -
Just know this:
@Yale houses undergrads in a residential college named after a man who said things like this:pic.twitter.com/F09PoRmRxQ

Also know that
@Yale has already gathered a team of experts to shut down conversations about what happened to@CharlesMBlow's son. -
Within 48 hours,
@Yale will issue a feel good unity statement about a group of people that are going to investigate racism or whatever. -
That's how the
@Yale machine works. And it banks on alum staying silent. They forget that some of won't. -
Of course a white guy comes into my mentions to say history and white supremacy have nothing to do with policing.pic.twitter.com/RKwgLzZFrG
