Melissa Click, the former University of Missouri assistant professor who was fired after she tried to block a student journalist from covering a campus protest, suggested in a recent interview that her public termination was a matter of “racial politics.”
“This is all about racial politics,” she told The Chronicle of Higher Education in an interview published Sunday. “I’m a white lady. I’m an easy target.”
Ms. Click said Missouri’s Board of Curators fired her to send a message that the university and the state wouldn’t tolerate “black people standing up to white people,” the Chronicle reported. Ms. Click didn’t elaborate on how that would explain the termination of a white woman.
The Chronicle reported that Ms. Click’s “nerves are perpetually on edge” since her firing in February, “when she began moving out of her office in the dark so she wouldn’t run into anyone.”
She was suspended and eventually fired by the university after a now-viral video showed her trying to grab a camera from student Mark Schierbecker and calling for “some muscle” to remove him from an encampment of black student protesters. An assault charge against Ms. Click was dropped when she agreed to perform 20 hours of community service.

Melissa, dear, there ain’t no ‘WHITE’ Race Card..............................
Actually she’s right.
But, that’s the world that idiots like her created.
Deal with it Melissa.
Hey, some good news today!
I heard they are doing a re-run of the Wizard of Oz. Maybe she should audition for the Wicked Witch of the West. Could save the producers on make-up.
I’ll take “People Who Were Hoisted on Their Own Petard” for $100, Alex.
“Melissa Click, former University of Missouri professor: I was fired because I’m white.”
This is from the same woman who attacked so called “white privilege.”
Besides being a horrible person, she is correct. She WAS fired because she was white and a non-minority.
BUMP! :)
Her comments are too weird to imagine.
I have less respect for “academics” every day.
Shouldn’t she be happy about that? That’s what she was fighting for?
Check your white privilege there Ms. Click. Life’s a biotch isn’t it when what you advocate for comes back to bite you in the rear end.
Still working on that updated resume, eh Melissa? Good luck on that.
Don’t forget to add “2016 - committed arson on own bridges.”
No, skank, you were fired because of your BEHAVIOR.
No.....she was fired because she is an @$$hole.
The irony here is exquisite.
Welcome to the club.
LOL. I can't say I saw this one coming.
