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.

Excellent!
She’s right.
She reaped what she sowed.
She’s a thug. Colour has nothing to do with it.
Being white means your actions have consequences and you must accept responsibility. It comes with your white privilege. I thought they taught this in college.
Click, clickety kook!
She was fired because she’s a self-loathing, reverse-racist scold and self-righteous, man-hating loudmouth.
You're no lady, beeyotch.
“I’m a ‘lady’”
Sorry, biotch, “self assignment” doesn’t go THAT
far.
What is white lives don’t matter,Alex!
The fact that that ignorant s**t was a professor does two things:
1. It removes any respect for the title of professor.
2. It removes any respect for that joke of a university.
Go get your shine box, Mel.
somehow I can’t bring myself to care.
I can’t wrap my head around the pure evil of people who would fund her defense.
Honey its not because your white...it because your an a—hole...
If she had been black when she shouted, "get some muscle over there," does anyone seriously believe anything would have happened to her, apart from early promotion?
“Actually she’s right.”
No, she’s wrong; she was probably EMPLOYED because she’s a white woman. She was fired because of a veiled threat of violence that was fortunately recorded.
White MEN are easy targets; white women are still considered “preferred minorities” (and that drives many blacks crazy).
To be fair Melissa, it was because you are white and stupid.
It is debatable as to the order.
fired because......she’s irrelevant
No, sweetie, you were fired because you’re an *sshole with a big mouth.
