When Beer Summits Go Wrong

A professor from Columbia University in New York was having a discussion with another staff member about "white privilege" at a bar, when he punched her in the face. 

The New York Post writes:

"A prominent Columbia architecture professor punched a female university employee 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." 

 

While this is not an official Beer Summit in the form that CampusLIE has pursued, they were technically forging a discussion on white privilege over a beer.
