A writer's essay explaining why she plagiarized parts of what would have been her debut novel has been deleted after it was revealed she copied that as well. Jumi Bello's book The Leaving was scheduled to come out on July 12 and had appeared on several 'most anticipated' lists, according to Publisher's Market, when its publisher Riverhead Books suddenly scrapped it in December. The 30-year-old has now revealed the reason the book was abruptly canceled when it was in its final stages was because she admitted to the New York City-based publishing company she had plagiarized parts of the novel. It would have chronicled a young black

Brandon plagiarized his life story and became president. I don't see why everyone is making such a big deal about poor Jumi!?

She will plagiarize her doctoral dissertation, and immediately be hired at a major university to comply with diversity mandates.

Maybe the person she plagiarized from culturally expropriated it first and so she’s just plagiarizing what’s rightfully hers. Plus she could be lgtbq+ — don’t forget that. This smells of racism. If i were the Delaware Doofus I’d be able to taste it.

Affirmative action zeroes have trouble actually accomplishing anything, so they STEAL other's work.
I saw a young black engineer try to get any other engineer in the company to do his work for many months before he "left the company for other opportunities". Nice enough guy to talk to, but either could not or would not actually do any engineering project management work.
When you are handed everything in your college career without actually working - you LEARN NOTHING, and develop no skills. Perhaps she is unable to even develop those skills, but it is extremely likely in the current Affirmative Action environment in colleges that she did "F" level work (or less) and was given an "A" or a "B" because of her skin color and sex. Never had to actually develop any skills - again - if she even COULD.
Lazy and incompetent are bad enough, but with zero ethics - this is what you get.
And Biden used plagiarized speeches, and IIRC, portions of Martin Luther King's PhD dissertation was plagiarized, too. They've been doing this, and getting a pass on it, for a LONG time.

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."... Oh, wait... you mean somebody already wrote that?

Sorry, but it appears that we are suffering the Smollett-ification of some Blacks’ path to success: fake it till your make it. Yeah, here come the “RACIST” accusations which are coincidentally a part of that experience such that we must hang our heads in shame for saying anything remotely detrimental. If it’s good enough for our demented president surely it’s just fine for anyone else, especially a victim. Because affirmative action.

When I was in college a friend came in with a box of books he was working over for his senior history paper. He said something was wrong but he couldn't put a finger on it.
We started investigating and realized the book his advisor suggested for background one of his PHD students wrote on Vatican-German diplomacy prior to world war two had plagiarized material in it.
M went to the professor who was stunned. The prof wanted the book. M didn't have it. Later that day the prof called M's parents wanting to know how to contact M. M hid the copied book and the original written 40 years before with me.
I talked to a prof friend in the Rhetoric dept who I said I believed had plagerized material. M, the prof and I started looking at paragraphs, then pages, then chapters, finally realizing the whole book including the index and bibleography were copied. Front to back copied!
My prof assembled the Rhetoric dept and stirred up a hornet's nest. My friend was ordered into the dean of student's off ice and told to bring the book. After a long talk with the dean coughed it up.
My prof friend said they may, once they got the original, try to bury the whole thing which wouldn't work since he had copies. He later said a battle was on between the Rhetoric dept and History. He said the thing wasnt going to die down and get "forgotten" Plagerism is a preeminent sin in the University since a level of as perfect trust as possible had to be upheld. He guarrenteed the masters degree would be withdrawn and the "author's" PHD he was working toward would be cancelled. I never asked whatever happenend but the Rhetoric dept was on a rampag so i was sure it came to a satisfatory end.
So, after reading this story from the mid 1980s, how have we come to where we are now- plagerism is a hurdle, more like a stumble- one has to deal with once caught?
Getting caught used to be a disaster. Now, its laughed off like a spilled milkshake.

Read in another article that she said, 'Well, Biden did it and nobody cared! This is just The Man putting down a sista!'

Alex Haley plagiarized from “The African,” written by Harold Courlander, to write “Roots,” a complete fiction. “In 1978, Haley paid Harold Courlander and his publisher $650,000 as out-of-court settlement of the lawsuit.” (Wikipedia)

As expected she found many others to blame for her dishonesty. Her fraudulence. What did one of her sistahs say? “It’s about the benjamins…"

At least she did it because she was lazy and stupid NOT because she was black.

Her graduate school should immediately expel her from their Ph.D. program. . . . . . But they won't.

You guessed it, a rope-headed black woman who doesn't know enough about black women to write about one. Tell me again how these people are going to take over the country. She only made the "most anticipated" list because, you know...

Amusing. But the Rev Dr MLK Jr did it, as did Dung Bidet, so is the publisher flaunting its toxic white supremacy by disallowing the Proud Woman of Color to do the same thing?
