Seems she realizes she would never be able to ever buy anything if not for white males. (that is her argument)

Also it seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Yes, it is free speech but the first white male to fail her class or get a bad grade has a built in bias complaint to make to the school and or the courts.

An assistant professor. They usually are.

I also don't believe for a second she really has straight hair.

All those anything-goes 'free speechers' will have to come out to defend the professor. Otherwise they would look hypocritical.

Anti "free speechers" always confuse the issue. Nobody should be prosecuted, jailed, or persecuted or harassed by the government for voicing their opinions. On the other hand, employers have the right to free speech as well. Nobody should be forced to employ someone who vocalized controversial opinions contrary to their own. Employees are often seen as representatives of the company that employs them.

To make matters worse, in this case, is the colleges selective definition of "hate speech". If it was a white, male professor tweeting the same vitriol about black females, I doubt the university would defend his right to free speech.

Geller is not forming the minds of students. People who attended Geller's event did so with paying high tuition for someone's opinion.......teacher's are suppose to be above the rest of us in manners and education, at least they should be. Times are changing.....

A professor of sociology and African-American studies is about as useful as a McDonald's dining room cleaner with Downs Syndrome.

Imagine a white professor tweeting his/her hatred of black men saying they're the problem and avoid doing business in any black owned business. If a white professor did this then the university wouldn't hesitate to fire him/her. But racism by a black person against whites is perfectly fine for universities.

Like most liberals, she feels empowered and gives no thought to the future. Sad that idiots are allowed to teach.

Good point. It will be interesting to see if racism against whites holds up in court.
