Boston University video calls property racist, justifies George Floyd riots
MSN ^ | 5/28/22

Boston University posted a video to social media recently that called property "racist" and attempted to justify the riots that caused billions of dollars in damage following George Floyd's 2020 death.

"If we're going to talk about George Floyd and really understand, then we need to understand community reactions," Saida Grundy, an assistant professor of sociology and African American studies, said in the Wednesday video posted to the Boston University Twitter account.

Higher education institutions have become ghettos.

Yeah yeah yeah...
Sooner or later “woke” academics like to parrot some of Denis Didérot’s quotes such as:

“All property is theft”

and

“Mankind will only truly be free when the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”

Amazing how the lowest common denominator always seems to be calls to embrace our base, brutish natures.

Hobbes said it best: “The natural life of man is nasty, brutish and short.”

Anarchy.

What could possibly go wrong?

Property is racist leads to food deserts which is also racist.

Then I guess we’re all entitled to a chunk of BU’s $3+ billion dollar endowment, eh?

OK, BU, don’t be racist. Cough up!

This is what Affirmative Action and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) leads to.

Colleges and Universities aren't just encouraged to hire incompetent professors. Those incompetent (and naive) professors, once hired, become pawns of world communists and autocratic movements.

Then the professors and president of Boston University should have no problem with us taking all their stuff.

I frequently walk past Boston University while on my way to a great computer store in Cambridge.One of the buildings I walk past is the “School of Divinity” and when I do I always imagine how the typical doctoral student writes his/her thesis on “Ten Facts That Prove That God Doesn't Exist”.

Places of lower learning. (most colleges if one goes into arts or social courses—sometimes even in hard sciences)

Was Obama an affirmative action student?

I’d like to know.

Oh...forgot to mention: during the riots of Summer 2020 the Attorney General of Massachusetts,a bull dyke named Maura Healey, said in a speech "Yes,America is in flames,but that's how forests grow".

And while I'm at it..another quote.When once asked to comment on women and girls who don't like the idea of pervert males in the ladies' room she advised them "to hold it".

And this filthy bull dyke is absolutely sure to be sworn in as Governor next January.Welcome to the Gay State ladies and gentlemen!

Fine. Then confiscate the land the university is located on and seize the buildings, as any good communist would do. Turn it over to the blm crowd which would immediately move in and live off the fat of the land, turning the institution into pimp heaven, a drug-filled paradise, and a violent enclave where any Whitey can expect to be killed within minutes.

...good question....he was frequently touted as a “constitutional law professor” when in fact he was a poorly-regarded adjunct professor of some sort....again, don’t let facts get in the way.....

BTW....”...then we need to understand community reactions,” Saida Grundy, an assistant professor of sociology and African American studies,...” that’s all I needed to know about this “expert”
