Melissa Click, former University of Missouri professor: I was fired because I’m white

[The Continental Op]

My favorite line in the article involves Ms. Click describing the aftermath of her firing,

“Two young men she passed near the campus asked her if she needed some muscle. She considered it a threat.”

[moovova]

Perfect.

they say that a conservative is a liberal that got mugged . . . I wonder if this is it for her.

[bkopto]

Boy is this woman all tied up in knots. She ought to go do some real work on a farm for a year or two and get her head screwed on straight again, if that is even possible.

Am I to understand that there’s really no such thing as white privilege or worse, that being white can actually count against most people in most situations owing to the artistry of people like Melissa Click?

[Secret Agent Man]

She didnt even play the gyno card.

White guys dont even have that one.

[camle]

poor melissa...thought she was quite the big shot calling for ‘muscle’ to intimidate a student reporter...

not such a big shot now, are we missy?

[Paladin2]

One crazy nut-case....

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."

Yeah, I'll bet her "nerves are perpetually on edge". This woman is a genuine candidate for straight jacket in a rubber room. She lives in a make believe world called Academia, where any sort of criticism of any member of a "disadvantaged group" (that is, anybody but straight white males) is considered a hate crime that can get one fired or expelled.

She feels that she can do anything she wants to without reproach or criticism, and she has depended on the university to enforce that as her birthright. And it seemed to work for her right up until they fired her.

This li'l controversy has removed the cloak of campus invisibility that protected her precious feelings, and she's all over the news and the internet, getting blistered for her psychotic behavior. So she's unemployable, and the whole world knows about it.

And she can't stop people outside of the university cocoon from violating the "safe space" she carries around in her head. I really think this woman needs heavy medication and constant supervision. The DEA should send a "DO NOT SELL A GUN, KNIFE, OR POINTED SHEARS TO THIS PERSON" notice to any agency doing background checks.

Seriously. She's bat sh*t crazy.

Good one!

She was fired because she encouraged thugs. However, if she had not been white, they could not have fired her even for that. She’s lucky she’s white - it gives her a chance to learn from her mistakes and improve instead of being stuck forever as a predatory parasite.

for later

Claims:
1) She’s a lady. Patently false, so we know she’s a liar.
2) She’s white. She’ll need to present her entire DNA genome to prove that. Appearances imply a maternal experiment involving self abuse with carotinoids gone horribly wrong.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Boo Hoo, Melissa Click was fired because she's an idiot and being an idiot has nothing to do with skin color.

Not so fast. She was an idiot, and she should have been fired. But, had she been a black idiot, she probably wouldn't have. I think she's right about that.

But, what is so awfully wrong here is that a BLM idiot can get away with all sorts of stupidity, a white idiot only a little less so. She's presuming that the pass on BLM behavior is the new normal standard she should be held too. Ha-ha!

[JimRed]

Isn’t she the homely redhead who wanted “muscle” to handle a Breitbart reporter?

[definitelynotaliberal]

Two young men she passed near the campus asked her if she needed some muscle. She considered it a threat.

Ms. Click said she’s planning to sue the University of Missouri for denying her due process. A GoFundMe campaign to help pay her legal bills has raised more than $13,000.

I cannot wrap my mind around the stupidity of this woman. She still doesn't get that her authority was implied in that environment even if there had been no video evidence of her mocking the reporter, "I'm a Communications faculty and I got that argument, but you need to get out."

[jazusamo]

Well said, I totally agree.

[corkoman]

No Soup for YOU!

One of my favorite episodes...

“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.”

No Melissa. You may be white, but I'm quite sure you are not now, never have been and never will be worthy of being called a "lady". You see, the term "lady" is not something you automatically get when they issued you a vagina.

It is a term of respect, given by gentlemen to women who are worthy of respect. Women who have the grace, manners and intelligence to to behave like a lady are what we call "ladies".

Not many of those around anymore. Lots of b*tches and "baby mamas" and psychotic freaks who work for emasculated males as assistant lecturers (or whatever your job title was) at "the university" until they get fired.

But ladies, not so much.
