Student was not victim of racism for 'eating while black' at $80k Smith College and made up details that ruined the lives of four campus workers and led to controversial anti-bias training that employee resigned over

An elite Massachusetts liberal arts college has quietly conceded that there was no truth to allegations of racism made by one of their students that 'ruined the lives' of numerous campus workers.

Oumou Kanoute was in the canteen at Smith College on July 31, 2018 when she claimed she was profiled for 'eating while black' after a security guard asked her what she was doing.

Kanoute, a psychology undergraduate student, posted video of the incident on social media and claimed that she was the victim of racism.

At least she started the conversation. If it cost the jobs of multiple people then that's just the cost of progress. Them being upset about this is just them showing their privilege.

It even increased equity as the workers could and should have been replaced with people of color. This story is a win for our country.

I think it's very clear who the real racists are in today's society.

You want to make me less sympathetic about real racial concerns, because this is how you do it. I instantly don’t believe any of these claims any more.

The hypocrisy is unreal. She is the definition of what she supposedly 'stands against'

There should be lawyers parachuting in to sue the pants off that university.

The fact is, it could have happened as long as Whitey is employed there so that’s all that matters. Let’s rid ourselves of the White devil.

At some point, even liberals have to concede this is getting ridiculous. Ruining people's lives. SMH.

I think most people realize racism is a one way street, and it's not white people driving. People like this girl are true racists, to the T.

I hope she gets sued back to the stone ages for ruining those people’s lives.

False racism claims are almost as bad as false rape claims.

These liars get immediate attention, sympathy and fame from the online and campus communities. They’re glorified and hailed as a civil rights victim. There’s every incentive for the actions to continue and zero deterrence involved. Thus, it’ll continue.

No, they're just as bad. Both will ruin your reputation and ability to hold a decent job...for life.
