Saida Grundy, a newly hired professor at Boston University who recently said she regrets tweeting that white males are a "problem population," and other racially charged comments, is now accused of Facebook posts in which she appeared to taunt a white rape victim. That victim, Meghan Chamberlin, told FoxNews.com that the posts, an a February public chat, felt like a kick in the stomach.
*snip*
Chamberlin, the rape survivor, responded: No really. I got it. You can take your claws out, thanks.
To which Grundy exploded:
^^THIS IS THE S**T I AM TALKING ABOUT. WHY DO YOU GET TO PLAY THE VICTIM EVERY TIME PEOPLE OF COLOR AND OUR ALLIES WANT TO POINT OUT RACISM. my CLAWS?? Do you see how you just took an issue that WASNT about you, MADE it about you, and NOW want to play the victim when I take the time to explain to you some s**t that is literally $82,000 below my pay grade? And then you promote your #whitegirltears like thats some badge you get to wear
YOU BENEFIT FROM RACISM. WERE EXPLAINING THAT TO YOU and youre vilifying my act of intellectual altruism by saying i stuck my claws into you?

I don’t care what your Momma told ya.
Fighting solves everything.
Certifiable... from the way it sounds.
SHE needs to go away in a giggle jacket.
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!!
She’s had her hair straightened!!
I feel so violated.
Calling my lawyer....
The incompetent racist bitch has to be fired, period.
Is that her during spring break at Burger King?
What an embarrassment to Bu that this harpy is actually part of their faculty. I hope that all BU alums will withdraw contributions to the University until this sorry excuse for an educator is fired.
Watching what BU does on this is going to be incredibly interesting.
What you have here are representative examples of two powerful victims groups (rape survivors and the racially oppressed) turning on each other based on their own experiences and statuses.
Either the adults in the Progressive movement will step in and figure out a way to quash this quickly and quietly, or it’s going to get very, very ugly. BU is facing a PR disaster whatever it does, with the likelihood of massive litigation/settlement if they fire the professor.
BU is indeed facing a PR disaster. I love when ivory-tower academics are made to look stupid. That's why I hope it plays out for many months.
As to liability, I don't see her getting anything. Her controversial posts are grounds for firing, IMHO. But again, let's hope she does take it to court!
We know which one benefits from racism, and it’s not #whitegirltears. It’s #affirmativeactionhire
They may be grounds for firing, but doing so could cause one heck of a mess. Campus protests, boycotts, etc.
The best deal would be to throw her a lot of $$$ to go away quietly. But she doesn’t seem to be the type to do that.
In fact, I’m also betting that there are other instances of her engaging in this sort of behavior out there. Probably already found and documented/screen-capped. This is the sort of classic drip, drip, drip scenario that scares the hell out of PR crisis managers.
What will probably happen if BU is lucky is that it will convince Saida Grundy to resign and accept a separate bonus in exchange for a hold harmless agreement in which she indemnifies BU and promises to abstain from any further action on her part.
“separate bonus” s/b “separation bonus” (or award).
What a filthy racist pos. People spend big money for their kids to be damaged by scum like her.
Can’t even be just a racist, has to use foul street language as well.
Take back the colleges!
The creature grundy is the demonic handmaiden to the anti-Christ obama. It came from the pit of hell and will return thereto.
Boston University is easily worth the $50 K per year in tuition. /S
Back in the 90’s when Silber was President, this junk sociology would have been broomed out.
Silber was a horrible person, but he know how to run a school.
No, Boston University is a real (aka bricks and mortar school) university. Great hockey team...
I was being facetious...
Oh..sorry...
Oh, and by the way, what exactly does Afro-American studies teach? I'm not being facetious, what does it teach?
The inmates are running the asylum.
The criminals are running the Department of Justice.
The morons are running academia.
