A prominent Columbia

in the face at a Harlem bar
during a heated argument
about race relations,
cops said yesterday.

Police busted
Lionel McIntyre,
59,
for assault yesterday
after his bruised victim,
Camille Davis,
filed charges.
McIntyre and Davis,
who works as a production
manager in the school’s
theater department,
are both regulars at Toast,
a popular university bar
on Broadway and
125th Street,
sources said.
The professor,
who is black,
had been engaged in a
fiery discussion about
“white privilege”
with Davis,
who is white,
and another male regular,
who is also white,
Friday night at 10:30
when fists started flying,
patrons said.
McIntyre,
who is known as
“Mac” at the bar,
shoved Davis,
and when the other patron
and a bar employee tried
to break it up,
the prof slugged
Davis in the face,
witnesses said.
“The punch was so loud,
the kitchen workers in
the back heard it over
all the noise,”
bar back Richie Velez,
28, told The Post.
“I was on my way
over when he punched
Camille and she fell
on top of me.”
The other patron involved
in the dispute said McIntyre
then took a swing at him
after he yelled,
“You don’t hit a woman!”
“He knocked the glasses
right off my face,”
said the man,
who would only give his
first name as “Shannon.”
“The punch came
out of nowhere.
Mac was talking to us
about white privilege
and what I was doing
about it —
apparently I wasn’t
doing enough.”

McIntyre had squabbled
with Davis several weeks
earlier over issues
involving race,
witnesses said.
As soon as the professor
threw the punch Friday,
server Rob Dalton and
another employee
tossed him out.
“It was a real sucker punch,”
Dalton said.
“Camille’s a great lady,
always nice to everybody,
and doesn’t deserve
anything like this.”
Davis was spotted
wearing sunglasses
yesterday to conceal
the black eye.
Reached at her
Columbia office,
she declined to comment
on the alleged attack.
McIntyre was released
without bail at his
arraignment last night.
“It was a very
unfortunate event,”
he said afterwards.
“I didn’t mean for it
to explode the way
it did.”

_____the story
.
This man was not fired???!!!
This Federal Hate Crimes law is a joke.
But if it’s here to stay,
it needs amending for consistency.
Demand that this sham law cover all people,
including white people.

I agree with you him.
Not only was the Professor not fired,
but did you notice the story was
dropped like a hot potato by the media?
Not a mention of this story
after one day or so.
If a white Professor had punched out
a black lady,
it would still be all over the news.
Riots on campus,
congressional hearings,
ect. ect.
Thank You for commenting
and Thank You for reading 22MOON.
