What is it, National Racism Day?
Harvard Crimson reports a very bad thing:
Law School students and faculty members who walked into Wasserstein Hall on Thursday morning found that pieces of black tape had been placed over the faces of portraits of black professors that hang on walls inside the building. The tape has since been removed.
The incident prompted outrage from Law School affiliates, including second-year Law School student Michele D. Hall, who posted photographs of the vandalized portraits in a post on the website Blavity. “This morning at Harvard Law School we woke up to a hate crime,” she wrote.
Law Professor Ronald S Sullivan tweeted about it:

This is my portrait at the Harvard Law School. All faculty of color woke up to the same thing this morning.
What the hell is wrong with people?
Day? The second quarter of National Racist Millennia just got started. And it appears we keep finding fun and innovative ways to mark the occasion.
Some people are just sick. What did they think this was going to gain, people being sympathetic with their ugly racist views?
No, they are just nasty shits that want to cause pain, anger and upset to a class of people (POC and more broadly their supporters) they hate. I say hate, because this goes well past dislike or ‘makes me uncomfortable’.
I hope they find the asshole who did it. They likely left prints.
it’s so weird that it’s always the bigots who whine about the liberals trying to create “white guilt”, because it’s the bigots who make me fucking embarrassed by my skin.
