The saga of University of California, Santa Barbara feminist studies professor Mireille Miller-Young has taken yet another bizarro twist after her defenders urged a judge to excuse the criminal allegations against her because of the “cultural legacy of slavery.”
Miller-Young pleaded no contest last month to misdemeanor counts of battery, theft and vandalism after she rallied up a small gaggle of female vigilantes and attacked abortion protesters Thrin Short, 16, and Joan Short, 21.
UCSB history professor Paul Spikard charged in his letter to Judge Hill that Miller-Young has been the victim of “an energetic smear campaign that seems to have little to do with her person or her actions, and a great deal to do with fomenting racial hatred and rallying right-wing political sentiment.”
“It would be tragic if Dr. Miller-Young were sentenced to jail time or mandatory anger management classes based on the press’ portrayal of her as an Angry Black Woman,” Spikard wrote.
Miller-Young, who specializes in queer theory, black film and pornography, apparently failed to mention either “racial hatred” or “right-wing political sentiment” when she speaking to police about the event in Marc just after it initially happened.
Another professor, Eileen Boris of UCSB’s feminist studies department, urged the judge in the case to be lenient...
“If she appears smiling on camera, she is ‘wearing the mask,’ that is, she is hiding her actual state through a strategy of self-presentation that is a cultural legacy of slavery.”
Slavery was abolished in the United States about 110 years before Miller-Young was born.

Scarred old slaver knows he’s doin’ alright
Hear him whip the feminist studies professors
Just around midnight
The prof is looking for an excuse that allows her to become a victim.
Welcome to the modern world — more PC crap.
Less about slavery and more about guilt I would suspect.
Slavery ? Easy to remedy. She should leave the Democrat Plantation.
Two things to say about this.
1. Never trust a woman with a hyphenated last name.
2. We should have picked our own da** cotton.
How are you treated at the university?
BS
So since many of my family fought for this country and were founding fathers: I should be able to go out and destroy all non constitutional parts of the government without any reprisals?
And when that happens, is there any crime that they would stop at using this excuse?
Boy, talk about a head full of cr@p ...
Must be another freed slave like Queen Sheila.
These “professors” are why a modern college education would not be worth the eXpense even if it were free.
Mike Adams weekly columns give great insight on teaching at a University.
Those fellow perfeesers can sure concoct some queer theories to support suspicious behavior.
