Yale Worker Destroys Stained-Glass Window Depicting Slaves

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A former Yale University dining services worker facing criminal charges for destroying a stained-glass window depicting slaves in a cotton field said Tuesday that he should not have done it, but he found the image disturbing.

Corey Menafee, who is black, used a broomstick last month to break the window inside Calhoun College, which has been the target of student protests because it is named for former Vice President John C. Calhoun, an ardent 19th century defender of slavery.

Menafee, 38, appeared in court Tuesday charged with felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor reckless endangerment. He did not enter a plea. Afterward, he told reporters outside New Haven Superior Court that he was upset over the image in the window.

I would use that same broomstick to poke his freaking eyes out. Then he wouldn't have to worry about seeing anything so "disturbing."

As Baltimore's idiot Mayor and city attorney said "You got to give them room to destroy".

The broom stick needs to be shoved up his arse until it comes out his throat. These people are so idiotic. Out of one side of their useless months they talk slavery ad nauseaum. Then out of the other they want to destroy every thing related to it. It's no wonder blacks have failed to progress like every other race, culture has in the world. Nothing they do ever makes any sense.

You would have thought hanging around with all of the smart Yalies he would have learned that John C. Calhoun was a Democrat.

Not to worry: Yale will probably get a gift from BLM underwriter Soros to rename the hall as a memorial to thugs deceased in street crime. The replacement stained glass window will show street scenes from Chicago, Baltimore, etc. The multiple colors in the plaid underwear at half mast will certainly be lively. A side panel will memorialize the benefactor collaborating with the Nazis to turn his people in.

Eliminate history and its reminders and there's nothing to celebrate when we improve upon it.
