She should be fired for prejudiced remarks and possibly creating hostility among students. This is the opposite of building tolerance and understanding.

Sure now she regrets them. What a crock of ****. She regrets nothing and her heart is filled with hate towards all non whites. She needs to be made an example out of. A harsh example.

I'm pretty sure the whole point of racial, ethnic and gender studies courses is to give students reasons to be pissed off at staight white men. Those departments are a cancer in American higher education.

She regrets getting called out on it. That's all she regrets.

Well that, and making it easy for certain basketball and football players to maintain minimum average to stay in school. See UNC and current scandal related to that. Apparently it's not even required to attend class.

It's a double standard. If a White person had said this about Blacks, Boston University would have fired them by now.
That is the rub because many liberals know this, but are not demanding she be fired. Why are they not taking to the streets for such blatant racism?
Maybe if the white males she sees as a "problem population" were homos or trannys, then they would be demanding her head.
I just wonder why the self loathing white liberals like the Dean of BU don't see that given a chance, her ilk would throw them out in a heart beat.
After all he is a part of the problem population.

This story isn't getting much coverage in the mainstream press, mostly in the conservative publications (Fox, Washington Times, American Thinker).

I found a story at WBUR.org (a liberal talk radio outlet in Boston, part of NPR). They report the tweets, then gave some equal time to someone who actually agrees with Grundy's racism:

Quote:
Some BU students eagerly await Grundy. Jaimee McGruder is one. As part of the People of Color Coalition at BU, she has helped to mount a Twitter campaign to support Grundy.

“And we really, really hope that Professor Grundy can come to BU and hopefully, maybe educate the largely white population, if they decide to take her class and learn more about these issues and why her tweets were not racist,” McGruder said.
This student then went on to explain how whites really are racist, because she got "beat up for being black" in elementary school back home in Louisiana.

I thought Boston University had high admission standards. Clearly they do let a few lower-IQ types slip through the cracks both students and faculty, apparently for "diversity" reasons.

But, like most liberals, the regret only happened after the outrage. They never seem to "get it" on their own.

She's a professor in a major where for a mere $100,000 or more in student loans she prepares her students for a career making mocha frappachinos for a living.
