A college professor has argued that black workers should get paid time off when someone in the black community is tragically killed, even if they have no direct connection to them.
Dr Angel Jones, who teaches at Southern Illinois University, argued that black teachers ought to be eligible for 'black bereavement leave' because the grief process for the community in the wake of public tragedy can be tough.
The professor said she recently burst into tears when she had to email her students in the wake of Tyre Nichols' death - who was beaten to death in Memphis, allegedly at the hands of five black cops.
She claims it was impossible to ignore her own feelings, and that she had cried 'numerous times' sending similar emails in the past.
Writing in an opinion piece for Times Higher Education, Dr Jones said: 'Although it is customary for employees to receive support and understanding while grieving the loss of a loved one, the same care is rarely shown to the Black community when we lose someone in horrific and traumatic ways.
'Where’s our Black bereavement leave?'
The professor added that it is Black educators who have to 'exert additional emotional energy' and pick up the slack after institutions send an 'obligatory, and often performative, statement to the campus community.'
Most notably, Nicole Joseph and Hasina Mohyuddin, both deans at Vanderbilt University, used a self-automating ChatGPT to write a 297-word email to students about deadly mass shooting at Michigan State.

They take our money by way of government, they whine about their failure, and still they hate us. They could at least send a thank you card for all the benefits they get, compliments of our hard work.

Fire a woke double maybe triple minority college professor?.........good luck with that
If we had bereavement for stupidity no one would ever work. This POS should be fired immediately for stupidity.
This sounds suspiciously like an incentive program.
Higher education (and many places) have character problems. If you send your kid to a school like this you have character problems too.
I am suffering from negro fatigue. Every day, it seems, is some great new plan to right ancient wrongs. Nothing will ever be enough. I give up.
Perpetual victimhood and entitlement mentality is all the rage nowadays and can be very lucrative as well.
The reason for inequality is inequality.
Inequality can not be remedied.
Chicago area. Would get the entire year off.
The NAACP and the United Negro College Fund should be required to pay cops who are injured and even endangered by black riff raff that considers it a right and duty to resist arrest
These advocates for race solidarity, one for all and all for one, and repayment of blood debts have something to teach the European-descended peoples.
Conservative blacks must read this stuff and cringe, just like I do any time Biden speaks.
Sure. More infantilization of blacks....
Ever get the impression academics are playing can-you-top-this?
No. I think the 13% responsible for half the violent crime in the US needs to look in the mirror and see who is responsible for building a better life.
