A college professor has argued that black workers should get paid time off when someone in the black community is tragically killed, even if they have no direct connection to them.
Dr Angel Jones, who teaches at Southern Illinois University, argued that black teachers ought to be eligible for 'black bereavement leave' because the grief process for the community in the wake of public tragedy can be tough.
The professor said she recently burst into tears when she had to email her students in the wake of Tyre Nichols' death - who was beaten to death in Memphis, allegedly at the hands of five black cops.
She claims it was impossible to ignore her own feelings, and that she had cried 'numerous times' sending similar emails in the past.
Writing in an opinion piece for Times Higher Education, Dr Jones said: 'Although it is customary for employees to receive support and understanding while grieving the loss of a loved one, the same care is rarely shown to the Black community when we lose someone in horrific and traumatic ways.
'Where’s our Black bereavement leave?'
The professor added that it is Black educators who have to 'exert additional emotional energy' and pick up the slack after institutions send an 'obligatory, and often performative, statement to the campus community.'
Most notably, Nicole Joseph and Hasina Mohyuddin, both deans at Vanderbilt University, used a self-automating ChatGPT to write a 297-word email to students about deadly mass shooting at Michigan State.

“University”, “Professor”, “black”......what could possibly go wrong?...LOL
Theyd be off every day
Yeah, then they never have to work.
Do the same thing every time a negro murders a white person.
Well, its less than that. Blacks and biracial blacks are ~15% of the population according to 2010 census.
If you take out females, children (<15), the elderly (>55), the sick/hospitalized, and incarcerated (a huge number), you are really talking about 1-2% and most of those assholes are KNOWN RECIDIVIST.
Our government(s) have failed us at multiple levels. Want someone to blame? White liberal women, the media, and Skoolz.
They could walk into BMW & Mercedes dealerships and charge new cars of their choice to their government-funded race cards.
And people living in the best neighborhoods in every town should just move out to wherever (who gives a damn where they go...just GTFO) so holders of official race cards can move in.
And all drugs should be legalized for those holding official race cards...and, of course, they should be free.
Official race cards (no repayment required) should be accepted by all retail outlets, grocery stores, and Amazon.
And while we're at it, let's issue government-funded Woke credit cards to the Wokesters who support the above free stuff.
Thank you, Professor Gibs MeDats..
Not just time off. Ability to burn buildings. The right to remove wall-size TVs from stores without paying. And free rein to overturn autos. Oh, wait . . .
ROTFL! Jerry Lewis was way ahead of the times with his “Nutty Professor”. They’re all over the place these days and they actually get paid.
I’m not even sure that would be enough for some.
“Let’s keep picking at other people’s money!”
This is just getting ridiculous.
Every freaking day!
It seems that when a useless academic comes up with a new way to look at something, they want recognition to bolster their pathetic selves.
'Oh, look at me! I'm smart and famous.'
Most people of commonsense simply see them as useless jerks whose development stopped in the third grade.
I hear Liberia is nice this time of year.
Black people get killed every day. If you want to fight the stereotype that black people are lazy, saying they should get a day off every single day is probably not the way to do it.
I don’t see what unlimited vacation time, no work with pay gets them. They already have that.
Angel Jones?
More like Demon Jones.
“Fire a woke double maybe triple minority college professor?.........good luck with that”
That’s “Dr Teflon Jones”
“I am suffering from negro fatigue. Every day, it seems, is some great new plan to right ancient wrongs.”
Maybe we should sue for time off every time we have to hear some whiny “PhD” alphabet soup loser goes on line to complain about race issues?
