Boston University prof flunks ‘white masculinity’ in controversial tweets
Critics say a newly-hired Boston University professor has crossed the line with recent tweets bashing whites, but the school says it’s simply free speech.
“White masculinity isn’t a problem for america’s colleges, white masculinity is THE problem for america’s colleges,” Saida Grundy, an incoming assistant professor of sociology and African-American studies at Boston University, tweeted in March.
In another tweet from January, she wrote: “Every MLK week I commit myself to not spending a dime in white-owned businesses. and every year i find it nearly impossible.”
In another, she called white males a “problem population.”
“Why is white America so reluctant to identify white college males as a problem population?” she asked.
The tweets were first noticed by student Nick Pappas, who posted them on his website “SoCawlege.com” and questioned how Grundy could be able to teach a diverse classroom given the racial hostility in her tweets.
“You have to teach college aged white males eventually, no?… this seems like you are unqualified to grade their work as you clearly demonstrate some kind of special bias against them,” he wrote.
Pappas, a junior at University of Massachusetts Amherst, told FoxNews.com that he hopes to “show the rest of America how nasty people on the far left can get at colleges.”

Typical. Criticism with no proposal for an actionable solution. One litmus test for a true professor is to propose and develop actionable solutions, then test them, then publish the results. Mere criticism is an undergraduate conceit.
The hypocrisy of the Left is beyond the pale. They are simply rotten to the core.
BU put the Dr. in Dr. Martin Luther King. Do you think he would advocate shopping based upon the color of one’s skin (& now gender), or the content of one’s character.
Oh how, I wish John Silber were alive & still president of BU. I would love to hear his response.
