An ethics professor at Rutgers University will be sentenced next month to up to 40 years in jail for having a sexual relationship with "D.J.", a severely retarded black man she was counseling. Seems she believed not only that race is a social construct, but also intellect and communication. She created a fantasy in which she was helping a mute, spastic man with the mind of a toddler overcome racism and ableism, take university level courses, write essays... and fall in love with her.
Quote:
When she arrived at the house on Memorial Day in 2011, Anna didn’t know what D.J. planned to do. His brother, Wesley, was working in the garden, so she went straight inside to speak with D.J. and his mother, P. They chatted for a while at the dining table about D.J.’s plans for school and for getting his own apartment. Then there was a lull in the conversation after Wesley came back in, and Anna took hold of D.J.’s hand. ‘‘We have something to tell you,’’ they announced at last. ‘‘We’re in love.’’’
Yes. Her situation is a direct result of taking her antiracist philosophy to the extreme. She was liberating D.J. from the oppression of racist IQ tests, created by white people, that showed him to be severely retarded.

Pretty cray-cray.
I agree that some IQ tests are slanted towards richer people when it comes to vocabulary, but there are tests out there that don't use reading and are "culture free" or "culture fair" IQ tests.
The woman needs to be in a mental institution. She is some kind of savant with an advanced intellect but the emotional development and wisdom of an oppossum.
I am glad she is being discredited and in the justice system. Her body of philosophical and ethics work will do no more to repair the world than White supremacy would.
What in hell does perversion have to do with Racism?
It's no different than a host of other people that have fixated on *something* and gone off the deepend.
As such this news has nothing to do with racism it just happens to be what her crazy fixed on.
HOWEVER, it's curious how long she's been going off the deepend and yet has remained in her position.
I have to admit I've heard some really loopy stuff on campuses over the years....it's a good place to hide your craziness as some sort of advanced insight.
