A white student is suing historically Black Howard University for racial discrimination after classmates called him 'mayo King'​


  • A white student is suing Howard University's law school for $8 million, alleging race discrimination.
  • Michael Newman frequently made provocative statements that offended his classmates, per his lawsuit.
  • Newman's peers removed him from various group chats, which he said they did out of "racial animus."

A white man has filed an $8.4 million lawsuit against Howard University School of Law, a historically Black university, alleging racial discrimination and a slew of other claims after he was expelled.

Representing himself in his 11-count lawsuit, Michael Newman, who enrolled in the fall of 2020 on a scholarship, argued that he faced "discrimination on a scale none of my classmates likely ever experienced" after he made comments about the Black community that his classmates found offensive.

An attorney for Howard University and multiple administrators did not respond to Insider's requests for comment.

Newman's suit is 70 pages, accuses the university of 11 different claims, and is written in the third-person since he's serving as his own lawyer. It's a long, meandering account of Newman's two years at the school, and often reveals the viscerally negative reactions and condemnations his peers and administrators had to his provocative, race-based declarations.

Power dynamics, history proves poor whites turned on blacks because they were not black: this country, Haiti's pre-revolution petit blancs. Black middle and upper class status is a wealth signifier for a powerless people seeking economic benefits without any social allegiance to each other. Individualism versus collectivism. This why black political movements fall short. Middle and upper class blacks who "run to white people" retain antebellum power dynamics. False choice, it is easier to assimilate to an established group within your own than to assimilate to another's. From that position it is easier to look down on the economically disadvantaged of the other group, problem with the whole argument is racism primarily focuses on appearance. Money is second.
Education is third.
