Classes at UCLA were cancelled on Tuesday because a former university lecturer threatened a mass shooting on campus. You probably haven’t heard much about it because the would-be terrorist in question is black and was apparently targeting white students and facility. When the facts don’t fit the narrative, the media ignores them.
Matthew Harris was a lecturer at UCLA until he was recently fired or put on leave for texting a student a “personally pornographic” video, which I assume means a whack vid. Nobody had heard from him in while until today as Newsweek reports:
The former lecturer and postdoctoral fellow under investigation for sending threats to members of the philosophy department and students at the University of California Los Angeles recently shared disturbing YouTube videos and a lengthy manifesto littered with racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic remarks.
Harris sent a link to a video that referenced a mass shooting and an 800-page manifesto with “specific threats” to some members of the department, according to emails members of the philosophy department sent to students.
A five-minute video titled “UCLA PHILOSOPHY (MASS SHOOTING)” showed Harris speaking into a microphone, superimposed over footage that included scenes from the 2017 mass shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas.
Other titles of videos included: “MURDER,” “my racial angel I’m so glad you exist” and “im a p*dophile, ladies im a p*dophile.”
In one video—titled “IVE HAD ENOUGH!”—Harris, who is Black, ranted incoherently about race and other topics for about eight minutes, using expletives and making several anti-Semitic remarks.
His manifesto—titled “DEATH Sentences”—contained racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic comments. It also appeared to make reference to UCLA faculty members. The document was shared through Google Drive on Monday, but appeared to have been removed early Tuesday.
While Newsweek was careful not to dwell too much on Harris’ racist comments, they did let one slip:
Harris made references to race and used expletives in an email to members of the UCLA philosophy department. “da war is comin,” he wrote, according to the Los Angeles Times. “forward dis [expletive] to our tha goldhead caucasoid princess.”
It took a while to get here but the basic gist is that a black man threatened to kill white people at UCLA. Why aren’t there any headlines saying as much? If a white guy threatened to kill black people at a university, that information would be all over the headlines.
In related news, the liberal media can’t be outraged enough over this:
More than 12 HBCU campuses targeted in new round of bomb threats
More than a dozen historically Black colleges and universities received bomb threats on Tuesday, the first day of Black History Month.
Keep in mind that nobody has been arrested for making these bomb threats and chances are they were made by a black person, but there are are hundreds of liberal media stories covering this.
Then there’s this from Loon Squad member Cori Bush:
It is not a coincidence that HBCUs are being targeted as Black History Month begins.
White supremacy is threatened to its core by the excellence of our Black institutions.
To all our Black scholars, they want you to be scared to live your brilliance. We won’t let them win. https://t.co/CLyZzkAZeh

Actually, they just arrested one of Bush’s black scholars for threatening to kill white people at UCLA as ABC7 reports:
Colorado law enforcement has confirmed that the person who made threats of a possible shooting at UCLA is now in custody.
The person in custody was identified by police as Matthew Christopher Harris. Authorities were able to take Harris in on Tuesday without incident after a standoff at his Boulder, Colorado home.
Democrats and the liberal keep telling us that white supremacist domestic terrorism is the #1 threat to this country but the facts on the ground beg to differ. There’s never any news about white supremacist terror acts or plots but there’s a pretty steady flow of black people launching racist attacks.
