Barnard professor allegedly drops N-bomb in class

Er, what?

A Barnard College professor defended his use of the N-word in class last month, claiming he thought it was OK because he pronounced it with an “a” at the end, instead of an “er.”

“In retrospect, it’s fair to say that I didn’t need to quote the word. I regret any pain or offense caused by my quoting, whether one student or the whole class felt pain or offense. You should know that in the remaining weeks of the course, no material will call for saying the word,” he wrote.

Have any of the "offended students ever been outdoors in NYC? Have they ever ridden the subway?

They probably listen to vulgar rap lyrics 12 hours a day, but if a white person says they word, they all feel faint.

And yes, I understand Eminem is white.

The professor nuked the class? Wow, I would think that would have made the news.

I wonder if any teachers anywhere ever read the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn anymore. I guess if they do, they refer to this one character as N-word Jim.

After 2020, I couldn’t give a flying fornication. My racial outrage reaction lobe no longer cares. The goodwill supply I had is exhausted.

His first mistake was chosing Eminem’s 8 Mile Road to discuss in his classroom. Of course that’s going to be land minded with N-Word bombs. That kind of talk is Eminem’s stock and trade. Rap is full of that language. A smart professor would steer clear from that Tar Baby of a topic.

If this was a conservative professor, he would have been forced to resign tenured or not.

I am sure this Barnard professor of sociology is a hard-core leftist. He will say he is sorry that anyone was offended by his and that will be that.

This should be a lesson for all the woke liberals. Be as smug as you want. But you are only one slip of the tongue away from the guillotine.

Side note to the learned professor: Step right up. And trust me on this. If you don’t go willingly, you will be dragged.

Can I get a Yawn?

Do somebody need write a book entitled “Black Fragility” to show how really dumb and unimportant this all is?

If white dude was a lefty, by all means cancel him.

He didn’t call anyone a nigga. He quoted Eminem, so if the students have a beef, they should take it up with Eminem.

Good thing he wasn’t quoting from Twain, Faulkner, Steinbeck, Hemingway, Flannery O’Connor, etc., who all used that the -er version because that’s how certain people would have referred to blacks. The mountain men of A.B. Guthrie’s “Big Sky”, all white men, called each other that. And some whites in Dee Brown’s “Creek Mary’s Blood” referred to Creeks and Cherokees as “red n*ggers.”

Of course, I went to college in the dark ages (can I still say that?) when everyone understood what context was about.

Remember when Rush took a load of crap from the left for his use of the word “niggardly”? (Which has nothing to do with race).

That stemmed from a member of the (Washington) DC City Council who used the word in a written report. It caused an uproar, and I think the person had to resign under pressure.

Rush drew attention to it, and said the word several times on the air. In fact, I think he referred back to it on a number of occasions.
