Two Rutgers University faculty groups have come out in support of “Professor Crunk,” aka Brittney Cooper, who said in a recent interview that “white people are committed to being villains” and as such “we gotta take these mf's out.”
On Friday, the Rutgers branch of the American Association of University Professors said in a statement that after the interview Cooper had been subjected to a “renewed wave of racist attacks for her public scholarship.”
“We wish to express our unequivocal solidarity with Dr. Cooper,” the statement reads. “[We] affirm our support of her academic freedom, and […] decry the harassment and intimidation she now faces, including threats of physical violence fueled by a media smear campaign.”
The AAUP characterized Cooper’s recent remarks as a “bad-faith media disinformation campaign” that “grossly misrepresented [the] communication of her research findings” and “falsely accus[ed] her of promoting violence.”

Sure glad these a-holes are part of the Big 14 now.
I have never had an good opinion of AAUP. I am right. They are shitty people.
The hypocrites don’t see that by defending her, they are condoning and espousing in her the very positions they condemn, that of violence, harassment, and intimidation.
Ha, I did & that’s why I said it, but I did see that
. ; )
I think everyone knows the answer to that....
Really? So who’s going to pay for your welfare?
Bring it on M’fers from rutgers.
As noted by The Fix, Cooper did say immediately after her “we gotta take these motherfuckers [white people] out” remark that “but […] we can’t say that, right? I don’t believe in a project of violence. I truly don’t. Because in the end, I think our souls suffer from that. And I do think some of this is spiritual condition.”Cooper then followed that up with a rant that whiteness “totally skews our view of everything,” and that African and indigenous peoples were “brilliant” and “vibrant” before “white people showed up being raggedy and violent and terrible and trying to take everything from everybody.”
The AAUP said that Cooper is a “renowned” and “widely acclaimed scholar and public intellectual” whose academic work “illuminates the harm and devastation wrought by anti-Black racism and white supremacist projects.”
Ugly.
It would make it easier to know who to fire.
Looks like she could be Stacey Abrams sister
That too.

But then their hypocrisy would be on full display for the world to see. They can’t discriminate that blatantly without suffering consequences, especially from Caucasian donors and alumni.
“When they tell you who they are and what they’ll do: believe them.”
Looks like she ate Stacy Abrams.
