California professor and wife scream the N-word at neighbors over the 'smell of their cooking'

As the 2020 election heats up, we’ll see more of these posts in an attempt to heighten racial animus in the US.

Don’t fall for it.

Why is a newspaper in England concerned with neighbor squabbles on the other side of the planet?

[quote]associate economics Professor Tim Ford and his wife, Crystal

lol

This pandemic has really illuminated how many unhinged people there are who are attempting to conceal their racism and rage on a daily basis.

Looks like a terminal case of white trash...who has some bleach?

What exactly is a Sacramento State? Is that like DeVry or Phoenix online?

Hopefully they have both been fired since this came out.

What can you expect from someone named Crystal? And I'm fairly certain he will be saying "I WAS a professor at Sac State." Look at them both...white trash trumpers. Bye

We had all we needed to know at "Crystal".

American newspapers won't print stories like this because it doesn't fit the liberal narrative that racists only live in red states.

I would guess that probably half the people in academia are mentally ill.

I’m a native Californian and, knowing there a red areas within the state, I welcome any intolerance being brought to light. Let’s flush these fuckers out!

This has been all over our local Reddit. Mrs. Ford has since entered rehab, of course. It says a lot that he's an associate professor making $110K, has taught at Sac State for years and lives in a crappy apartment complex. The complex has hired a lawyer.

Another fun tidbit about Ford. In his Macroeconomics class, he uses beer an hookers as examples to illustrate the supply curve (my professor used yams and xylophones). Incidentally, his specialty is sports economics. He hasn't published in years.

^supply and demand curve

Unfortunately California is #1 in hate crimes.

[quote]Tim Ford then throws the can beer he was holding and its contents at Cobb’s window

Assault and hate crime. Enjoy your time in prison, Tim.

Where do you think the DM gets their stories from? Hmm? The story's gotten ample coverage in the Sacramento Bee, a paper that had to remove its comment section for a while because it was inundated with right wing loonies from outlying counties. And this was around 2010. The paper had an article about rattlesnake hatching season and its danger to dogs. Thirteen pages of Jerry Brown and state legislature hate though. There wasn't a comment about the actual topic until the third page.

Almost all online news sites have removed their Comments sections. Yahoo still has one.

The comments section was brought back and now requires Facebook, Google, etc for registration. Before it was essentially anonymous registration with any e-mail. It was clear when banned users came back having re-registered with another e-mail. Now there are scarcely any comments.

If having a PhD and a masters is so special, then why the fuck are they living in a shithole apartment complex?😆

R18 And it’s a cesspit of barely-literate garbage shat out of mentally-deficient right wing fucks.

[quote] I’m a professor at Sac State, dude.

Lol. Not for long.

Yep R22 - all those years getting a PhD, all those years struggling to get a position, then he's an Associate Professor - almost in sight of a full professor position and - GONE.

And using 'hookers and beers' for supply and demand is not funny. Don't feel sorry for either of them.

[quote] And I'm fairly certain he will be saying "I WAS a professor at Sac State."

You can't fire an associate professor for anything even close to this.

"Associate" means he's tenured. Tenure means he would have to show gross dereliction of duty while he is on campus on the job for him to be fired.

R23, he got fired? Only heard that she went to “rehab”.

Was professor drinking too? I have a sweet cushy job that would fire me if I got involved in a public argument. Surprises me that that doesn’t go through his head when his wife is using the N word and he tells them where he works.

R1 and her ilk EXHAUST me.

He should be dismissed from his position. For the school to retain him will associate them with his behavior. My professor used guns and butter - I think I would have fallen off my seat if he used prostitutes and beer.

Of course he’s going to be fired. Calm down.

Yet again:

You [bold]cannot be fired[/bold] for something you did off the job if you're tenured, and he is tenured. If his university tried to do that, he could sue the college for millions of dollars.

Academia is not like other jobs.

R29 Explain why this is allowed just because it’s “academia.” What makes “academia” special?

Tenure, r30

When white trash gets a university degree.

"I've got a Masters!! I"ve got a PhD!!!"

Apparently from Kmart U

However, even tenured professors have to rules of morality and ethics

[quote] Tenure is a category of academic appointment existing in some countries. A tenured post is an indefinite academic appointment that can be terminated only for cause or under extraordinary circumstances, such as financial exigency or program discontinuation. Tenure is a means of defending the principle of academic freedom, which holds that it is beneficial for society in the long run if scholars are free to hold and examine a variety of views.

[quote] However, even tenured professors have to rules of morality and ethics

Only in relationship to their academic work--either by cheating with their research or plagiarizing, or through gropss dereliction of duties (like regularly showing up to class drunk or high).

I am tenured myself, and I have sat on my college's committee of tenure and advancement before, and know the rules of tenure contracts very well. He cannot be fired for this.

Wishing that he be fired will not make it happen.

That chick isn't even black.

An email sent by the Division of Inclusive Excellence on Friday announced that a virtual town hall will be held on May 19 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in response to the video.

Also, you cannot fire someone for something their spouse said. Even without tenure he could sue their pants off if they tried.

Seriously? Next we’ll have the Ministry of Truth.

r39, that's a Doublespeak term for the Office of Ethnic/Racial Relations.

California may be called a blue state, but it has MASSIVE swaths of red. Even near Los Angeles. Most of the counties surrounding San Diego. Imperial Beach is a horrible place. Bikers and neoNazis selling meth. White nationalist groups abound. Retired military and a few military veterans discharged from the military for racism tend to nest in Imperial Beach. Chula Vista is not much better.

Yeah, the "inclusive excellence" part cracked me up. I suspect it was chosen by a student committee. The school has a large minority enrollment.

The campus has had some incidents with white supremacist groups recently. The "American Identity Movement" put posters up in and around the campus. Some group used a drone to drop flyers. They also planned an on campus rally, but retreated when they found out that a larger group of counter protesters were there.

Undoubtedly, he's one of the assholes who complains about university campuses becoming too "woke" and "PC" or whatever the alt-right "real problem" of the month is. Well, soon he won't need to bother coming to campus any longer. And, as someone who works in academia, there'll be more stories coming out from students and other faculty about his casual racism, homophobia, misogyny, unprofessional conduct in the classroom, maybe even some sexual harassment thrown into the mix. With assholes like that, it's never an isolated incident.

[quote]I'm a professor at Sac State, dude.

He said this to intimidate? To impress?

Wow 80 zillion pictures but where is the one fucking video with SOUND?

[quote] If having a PhD and a masters is so special, then why the fuck are they living in a shithole apartment complex?

The best part is that his degree is in Economics

Try the link at R37.

That nasty bitch is showing camel toe. Ughhhhh

When I saw her pic at the OP I thought she was an Asian male.

If the smell of bacon grease was the worst thing I ever had to endure from the neighbors, I'd be thrilled. Hopefully the next person who moves in next to the trashy bitch will have a bass-heavy stereo system that shakes the walls.

I don’t think he can be fired if he has tenure.

I imagine eviction is likely, though. Whenever that becomes an option again.

Many of you seem to have [italic]really[/italic] unusual ideas about what people can be fired or evicted for saying on one occasion.

[quote]American newspapers won't print stories like this because it doesn't fit the liberal narrative that racists only live in red states.

No, only most of them live in red states and you seem triggered by that fact. The GOP wouldn't be the actual party playing the "race card" if they didn't know it played best in red states.

And the fact that you think the Daily Mail is doing some kind of "God's work" when most of their shit is about demonizing non-whites and humanizing mass shooters only when they're white, is pretty pathetic on your part.

[Quote]"While we’ve had difficulties with this neighbor, this particular confrontation got out of hand,” Ford said in an apology statement through his attorney, Jonathan Stein.

He can't help but take a swipe at the neighbors in his apology statement. They were chronic difficulty causers.

There are plenty of white supremacy groups in places like rural Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, states so far North you'd never imagine that there are concentrations of hard core racists.

[quote] Another fun tidbit about Ford. In his Macroeconomics class, he uses beer an hookers as examples to illustrate the supply curve (my professor used yams and xylophones).

Why is he using something regulated (beer) and illegal (hooking) to demonstrate his economic principles? Aren't you supposed to use widgets or something non-regulated / legal as your example? Plus, this sounds like microeconomics, not macroeconomics.

He absolutely can be fired if he has tenure. And he will be fired.

R37 that picture is going to give me PTSD. Look at how low them nasty old tiddies hang. 🤢

[Quote]really unusual ideas about what people can be fired or evicted for saying on one occasion.

I'm pretty sure throwing a full beer can at the neighbor's window might be a violation of their lease. Or pouring beer down onto their balcony.

Sorry OP, they’re not “vagans,” or even vegans, they’re just crazy, trashy assholes.

R56, I wasn't saying blue states don't have their share.. I live in Brooklyn and the area where I live coupled with Staten Island could give any KKK rally a run for its money, but for the poster to claim as though the Daily Mail -which peddles racism when they're not covering reality skanks- is doing some service by highlighting racism in a "liberal" state, is fucking ridiculous. Get back to me when the racism is so commonplace that it's ingrained to the point that a white supremacist easily wins the state.

I'm Black and r62 personally I don't want to wait until white supremacists start winning "liberal states". My Black ass can't afford to wait until it gets to that point and neither can my Black family.

Why is a professor living in a crappy apartment?

Indeed, r21. I recall reading some Yahoo Sports comments during the Koaepernick anthem saga as well as when NHLer Andrew Shaw was suspended for berating a game official as a "fucking faggot." The Yahoo comments section is a total cesspool.

[quote] Why is a professor living in a crappy apartment?

Economics professor? Maybe he’s a degenerate gambler. Or his wife is.

Ex-wife, kids, child support? Crystal seemed to be high on something besides being drunk. Drug and alcohol abuse can get expensive.

"If having a PhD and a masters is so special, then why the fuck are they living in a shithole apartment complex?"

They live IN a shithole apartment complex BECUASE they have a PhD and a masters.

I went to Sac State to get my degree after doing the first 2 years at community college. Sacramento was nice when I was there except for the summer heat and the disturbing crimes committed there. I agree with a previous poster about how conservative some areas of California are. While I was living there, pre-internet, an off-duty cop on his own motorcycle drove drunk and killed himself running into a bridge abutment. There were letters to the editor by people angry that the paper had reported on the incident because it showed disrespect to law enforcement in their opinion.

As for the weird crimes, the Golden State Killer was still active when I was there. They had a cannibal serial killer and another guy who was killing women on I-5, plus lots of gang activity and one robbery turned hostage drama while I was there. I imagine things have calmed down since then.

Not shocking; I believe the skinhead movement was started in CA. The PNW historically had a huge skinhead presence.

He besmirched his record, even if he doesn't get fired.

I meant 'she'

[quote]Crystal, seized up with her jaw appearing to gurn

Wtf does this even mean? Also, what's up with "vagan"?

The hubby looks cute with his hat on. Also if you zoom in on the first picture it looks like he has VPL and is hanging low.

Blacks can go on murderous rampages but whites can't get drunk and day something stupid and the lady does not look white. And why is our job to police something like this. This is nit gay issue. Blacks hate us.

^Troll. F&F
