...and of course she blames it on the devil :

Principal criticized for making racial remark at graduation has been fired, reports say - The Washington Post

UPDATED: Georgia school founder shocks students with racist remarks*during graduation ceremony | theGrio

Ironically, if you watch one video, you can clearly see a white family leaving as well and there are a ton of black students and family members still seated

There's a difference between saying something in a private tweet and something said in front of an audience at a graduation ceremony (not that I or many other people gave the BU prof a pass). I hope you can see that.

Twitter is private? Student saw the tweet and reported it. Unlikely it was private. Well I do not twitter.

Yes, you're communicating between your followers. I can't see a tweet unless I'm following a person or it's been retweeted by someone I'm following. It's not uncommon for students to follow their teacher; I follow my teachers on Twitter as well. Once again, I'm hoping that you can see the difference.

And since Twitter and the BU professor has nothing to do with the subject at hand...

She actually blames the Devil. Hello, only in America is it always someone else's fault. So what ever happened to personal responsibility, especially from a principal?

Yeah at least the Boston U professor could talk to you for hours about the horrors of white masculinity at university.

I did not hear anything that sounded racist, unless goober is now a racist term. It was kind of hard to hear what she was saying in parts of the video because all the black people were acting like the N-word that shall not be spoken.

What did she say that was racist? Is "goober" racist? I don't know what it means. Are people upset because she said all the black people were leaving? Well, were they leaving and being rude? If so, why is it racist to mention it? It's hard to know what's going on since the black people were acting all a-fool and getting loud.
