Boston University professor is urged to resign for calling Amy Coney Barrett a 'white colonizer' who is using her two adopted Haitian children as 'props'

A Boston University president who said President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee was a racist ‘white colonizer’ for adopting two black children from Haiti and using them as ‘props’ while ‘cutting the biological parents out of the picture’ is being urged to resign on Sunday.

The controversial charge was leveled at Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Saturday by Ibram X. Kendi, a Boston University professor.

‘Some White colonizers “adopted” Black children,’ Kendi wrote on Twitter.

'They “civilized” these “savage” children in the “superior” ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity.’

Twitter users pointed out that Kendi was responding to a tweet that included a picture of Barrett's sister, Carrie, holding children who were not adopted by the judge.

Kendi tweeted in response: ‘And whether this is Barrett or not is not the point.

‘It is a belief too many White people have: if they have or adopt a child of color, then they can't be racist.’

Just because a person has an education and is elevated to professor does not mean they have no racial hate in their heart...which is what this professor possesses.

He’s doing a great job alienating normal people against the Dems. The more despicable and unfair they are to such an accompalished and good-hearted woman the more they will turn against the dems. Its such an abejectedly hateful thing to say about a woman who wanted to give a future to children born into poverty and want and if she hadn’t adopted them would be doomed to a relatively short lifespan in the poverty and squalor of Haiti, unlike the privilaged life this racist grifter enjoys as a well paid pseudo-intellectual ‘professor’.

Huh? He's a president or a professor? The Daily Mail should invest a little more in proofreading.

Well possibly “feral “ children.

A Boston University president ...

'Professor' not 'President' but given the politics of Boston U., I'm not sure there is much difference.

As for his 'comments'? I'll give them the niggardly attention they deserve!

Although Jack Dorsey just gave him 10 million dollars to support his “work” so he will be okay.

John Silber is rolling in his grave. Silber was the former president of BU. He took that former dump of a school to world-class status when he took over in 1971.

He was the last of the rational democrats.

Although the article never says who called on him to resign. Just a bunch of twitter users? Boston university is probably fine with him.

“Just because a person has an education...”

I question whether he was ever educated within the meaning of the word “educated”. Actually, he should stay on the faculty and be used as an example for what’s wrong with our colleges and universities.

Do the elite leftist Hollywood entertainers adopt them for props too?
