I’m sharing this story because it’s important!

I have worked as an intern at the United Nations since May of 2018. I served as a youth associate with the United Nations. I always avoid contentious subjects & situations. Don’t like causing a commotion. But, this story is essential!

The entire situation that took place at Mercy College began in 2015 and continued until 2018. During the course of this event, I did not post my story. That is due to the fact that I was worried that attracting attention to myself would be detrimental to me. However, I believe the time has come for me to speak about my experience.

I do not believe that it is appropriate for young black men like myself to be confronted with racism and bigotry at a place where I am supposed to be learning and not dealing with hatred and bigotry.

I dealt with a variety of issues while at Mercy College; many have not been addressed, accordingly!

Mercy College Administration was not helpful, nor were the people that were involved!

• it’s not appropriate for a professor rejects 90% of your homework assignments without explaining why. This should not be tolerated.

• A Professor named ‘Christopher Geraghty,’ who incorrectly marks a student absent when he(student) is present in class engaged in classwork should not be tolerated.

The professor had never #explained why he refused to take any of my assignments. I attempted to collaborate with this Professor. Things only became more difficult. This professor incorrectly marked me absent while I was in class; I complained to the administration at Mercy College. Nothing was done!

I did everything in my power to work with this institution, despite my complaints & despite adhering to the guidelines. I was eventually barred from the Mercy College campus as a result of my complaint.

And emails were fabricated; I was accused of sending them to the administration. Which are utterly false & complete lies by the administration at Mercy College.

The Department of Education of New York was not helpful.

The People Who Was Involved Are As Follows:
​• Christopher Geraghty
• Nick Canzano
• Alena Kush
• Kevin Joyce
​• And Others

The Department Of Education In New York Was ‘No’ Help:

• The entirety of our educational system is flawed.
• The entire educational system is designed to FAIL people.
• The tragedy lies in that!

A QUICK WORD OF ADVICE: DO NOT ATTEND THIS COLLEGE. AVOID THIS COLLEGE! THERE ARE BETTER COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES AVAILABLE. MERCYCOLLEGE ISN’T AMONG THEM.

Most beauty black community in ‘North Amityville’ new york:

In Long Island in the state of New York, there is a Jamaican community that is distinctly different from the rest of the country.


This is a truly magnificent and breathtakingly beautiful community with a lot to offer. What you’re about to read is unlike anything else I’ve ever encountered in my professional life. But, first and foremost, this remarkable community is in no way comparable to either the Hood or the Ghettos.


It didn’t take long for me to become more acquainted with this lovely neighborhood and its people.


While strolling through the streets of North Amityville on Long Island, I came across a fellow Jamaican dude who was chatting with a lady, whom I assumed was his mother, when I approached him.


This was my question:

• How is the community doing right now?

• This gives me enormous delight to see my own people prospering and living in an increasingly progressive & stand-up community.


As a result of this, the motherfuker has become hostile toward me.
I was utterly perplexed because I started walking away as soon as this dude and his mother gave me the side-eye, and stared me down. 


 I had no idea why they were so hostile! They seemed friendly as I was walking towards them.


But, one illustration of this was the level of hostility displayed. The exact nature of what I said incorrectly is still a mystery to me. My understanding of it has not changed!


Keep your Ego and Pride to yourself if you want to be on the safe side. It will save you the time and effort of having to deal with the problematic issues.
