Professor Behind Racist Tweets Resurfaces At Crosstown School

A Memphis professor who left her job under a cloud after a series of racist tweets and Facebook posts has resurfaced at a school across town, where some of her new faculty peers are not happy to have her as a colleague.

Zandria Robinson, who taught sociology at University of Memphis until resigning on June 11, had previously posted on Facebook and Twitter that she did not want her daughter attending school with “snotty privileged whites,” apparently ramped up her social media rhetoric after leaving the job. In a series of tweets that began June 26, nine days after white racist Dylann Roof gunned down nine African Americans in a Charleston, S.C., church, Robinson wrote that “whiteness is most certainly and inevitably terror” and said she expected to see “thinkpieces about how more mental health services could prevent white people from acting how they are conditioned to act.”

Officials at Rhodes College announced Robinson's hiring last week, and praised her for her "provocative" comments, some of which were first reported by the website SoCawlege.

Considering it is her race that commits a majority of the crimes and ends up incarcerated - she really needs to shut the ____ up - with or without a coke and a smile!

An institution that is proud of hiring her is no different than an organization flying the confederate battle flag at its entrance.....

She is to be equated with the likes of Jackson, Sharpton, and OweBlama!

The one who was taunting and threatening the 12 year old conservative African American boy is from Baltimore. Her name is Mona Hussein Obama. Yes you read that correctly though her real name is Mona Brown.
This last name doesn't surprise me because only wicked and evil people like Mona Brown support Obama.
