Boston University condemns prof's racist tweets after Terrier alums bark

Boston University had a weekend change of heart about a new professor's angry tweets about white people, after FoxNews.com and others reported on the racially-charged comments -- and Terrier alumni threatened to stop writing checks.

Saida Grundy, an incoming assistant professor of sociology and African-American studies at the school, tweeted in recent weeks that "white masculinity is THE problem for america’s (sic) colleges," white men are a "problem population,” and that she tries to avoid shopping at white-owned businesses. On Friday, her new employer's spokesman, Colin Riley, told FoxNews.com that the tweets came from Grundy's personal Twitter account and that she was "exercising her right to free speech and we respect her right to do so.”

It looks like all that hair relaxer must have damaged the few brain cells she has.

Incoming professor? Translation..."the affirmative action hire".

She's new, should be still on probation as a new hire, good time to let her go..."Not a good fit for our organization at this time"...

Can you imagine if a white professor had said "black masculinity is THE problem for america’s (sic) colleges," black men are a "problem population,” and that she tries to avoid shopping at black-owned businesses?

Sharpton and Jackson would be howling for blood. She would have been quickly fired. I rather doubt the college would've issued a statement that it was a matter of "exercising her right to free speech and we respect her right to do so.”

She apparently doesn't know her history, as there were white slaves also. In the early days you had to pay or earn your way to citizenship.
