#1 Students were angry at him, called him a coconut

Brown and fuzzy on the outside, white on the inside, or just a nut?

#3 coconut is presumably a smear for 'brown on outside, white on inside'

any supervisory position has the potential of being soul destroying as the pressures from above and below tear you apart

true for Deans at University; staff sergeant in Army, manager at a fast order restaurant, etc.

#4 This wasn't "any supervisory position", this was a highly respected black man with tons of legitimate accomplishments to his credit who was treated as a traitor to his own kind by the social justice mob. He was more on their side than anyone and still got hounded to death.

#5 Gee, sounds like Ben Carson, Herb. Hope he doesn't buckle to the pressure.
