A Columbia University student publicly complained about her professor using the word "Negro," even though he said it in a lesson about 1960s America.

The Columbia Daily Spector ran a story Thursday about what happens "when professors make racially insensitive remarks." The paper cited a complaint by student Maria Fernanda Martinez of a perceived "microagression." Martinez said her professor told the class it was appropriate to use the term "Negro" when discussing the 1960's, a time when that was the politically correct term for African-Americans.

Yesterday someone got in trouble for saying Colored people when refering to the 60s culture. Guess we should just say HEY YOU

[Catmom]

It’s a good thing they weren’t a math major.

Imagine their reaction to reverse Polish notation.

[Mears]

Bet she wouldn’t turn down money from The United Negro College Fund.

Imagine my reaction to a math comparison!!! Math sends me to the safe room!

Well, we still have the United Negro College Fund and - of course - rappers use the “N” word all the time.

[Steve_Seattle]

Remember the controversy a few years ago about use of the word “niggardly” by some professor?

“United negro college fund”.

Negro, negro, negro,
Negro, negro, negro,
Negro, negro, negro,
Negro, negro, negro......

Negro is what the Kenyanesian Usurper’s birth certificate would say for father’s race if it was genuine.

Some people simply don’t belong in college.

[Vaduz]

He’s not a Magic Negro he’s a butter fingered black.

[WayneS]

It’d be nice, wouldn’t it?

[AlaskaErik]

Would he complain if he got a scholarship from the United Negro College Fund?

[Bonemaker]

White is a color.

[Eternal_Bear]

Would they cut off relations with Montenegro?

[Bonemaker]

“The paper cited a complaint by student Maria Fernanda Martinez of a perceived “microagression.”

Wonder how she’d like a macroaggression?

No snot, you can’t set the terms of language.

[Mrs. Don-o]

And Todd Gitlin, fer gawdsake. Is this Karma or what?

[Bob]

I hope she’s not there on a United Negro College Fund scholarship.

“Some people simply don’t belong in college.”

Some people simply don’t belong.
