New in PJ Media:
It costs $58,000 a year to attend Boston University, but don’t think that for all that money you’re going to get anything resembling, say, an education. No, Boston University today, like most other American colleges and universities, is dedicated to turning out thoroughly indoctrinated Leftists who will serve as reliable cadres in the fundamental transformation of American society that both Barack Obama and Joe Biden have promised us. That’s why BU employs someone such as Saida Grundy as an assistant professor: a racist apologist for rioting is just the kind of professor the universities want these days. Having one on staff is a big source of prestige.
This is clear from the fact that Grundy’s racist, pro-rioting remarks weren’t just statements she made as an individual, which BU tactfully ignored or even disavowed. Come on, man! This is 2022! On Wednesday, BU proudly tweeted video of Grundy speaking about the George Floyd riots, and saying:
If we’re gonna talk about George Floyd and really understand it, then we need to understand community reactions to it, and we often hear politicians, we hear civic leaders, from inside black communities and from outside of them as well. We hear President Biden say, “You know, I understand your frustrations but don’t destroy property.” Well, when you say that to black people who historically have been property, one of our greatest weapons against injustice was the looting of ourselves as property from the system of slavery. And what we see in communities is they’re reacting to the very racism of what we call property, right? So that’s why I think it’s very important for, you know, people who see reactions in communities to not judge and to not make assumptions about what is good and not good reactions. And not actually re-victimize communities by saying there’s an acceptable and a not acceptable way to react. Listen to them, and then we can say what these communities need.
The common-sense truths that have to be repeated against this nonsense are practically embarrassing in their basic simplicity, but this is an age in which people aren’t even sure what makes a woman (and they’re likewise not sure what a man is, either, they just know that masculinity is something bad), and so these simple things have to be restated. While it is true that black people have been property in the United States, that ended in 1865, all of 157 years ago. Thus no one who looted property during the George Floyd riots had been a slave, or had parents or grandparents or great-grandparents who had been slaves. No one in the George Floyd riots was looting as a weapon against the injustice of slavery.
There is more. Read the rest here.

This is totally and demonically, insane.
”looting of ourselves as property from the system of slavery.” How stupid, how ignorant can a “professor” be? Really stupid and ignorant.
The people who were actually slaves…none of the idiots living today…didn’t “loot themselves out of slavery.” The people in the non-slave, “community” who recognized how wrong it was to buy and sell other people, fought for slaves to be given their freedom.
Black people in Africa caught and sold other Black people. Some Black people were slave owners in this country, And some White people were owned as slaves.
But, people such as this idiot at BU don’t want the entire Truth to be told. They want half-truths and outright lies to be the only thing that gets shouted out to the crowds…and the crowds run with it to “steal, kill and destroy,” just as the master “thief” about whom Jesus warned.

The African Muslims sold the Blacks to the Americans so therefore the root of their problem is ISLAM!

And, according to one idiot…and liar….prayer and “turning to God,” is “racist.
“LA Times column compares invoking God amid Texas school shooting to ‘faith that allowed brutal enslavement’
“They clearly have a period in mind in which they believe God was happier with the direction of the country, but our history makes it impossible to pinpoint a date without looking racist. So they tend to talk in nostalgic Judeo-Christian generalities,” Granderson surmised.
The author warned that the same practice of turning to God would be invoked at funerals: ”
****”WARNED****** I wish I could write that this is unbelievable, but I’ve seen and heard too much.

Just grotesque, Somehistory. Some of those most committed to ending slavery were devout Christians like Quakers.

BU Professor Reveals This Week’s New Thing That’s Racist: Property
We hear President Biden say, “You know, I understand your frustrations but don’t destroy property.” Well, when you say that to black people who historically have been property, one of our greatest weapons against injustice was the looting of ourselves as property from the system of slavery.
…………………………
Just grotesque–pretending that looting and property destruction is anti-slavery.
So if I burglarized and trashed Saida Grundy’s home, would that also be anti-slavery?
More:
“I think it’s very important for people who see reactions in communities not to judge or make assumptions about what is good and not good reactions. And not actually re-victimize communities by saying there’s an acceptable and not acceptable way to react.”
…………………………
Would Saida Grundy feel the same way about a “community” of Klansmen? Of course not–nor of any reaction by any group that isn’t protected “people of color”–even people of color who are not “woke”, like African Americans who don’t think that rioting and destruction in their neighborhoods is a good thing.
In fact, what she is best known for is the book “Respectable”, where she sneers at African American male students who *don’t* riot and deal drugs.

Grundy Tweeted this:
“Why is white america so reluctant to identify white college males as a problem population?”
…
One can only imagine what she would do to any white male students in her class.
Yet, many at Boston University were falling all over themselves to defend this:
“And we really, really hope that Professor Grundy can come to BU and hopefully, maybe educate the largely white population, if they decide to take her class and learn more about these issues and why her tweets were not racist”

Yeah–I’d like to hear how this is not racist myself…
OLD GUY says
You know she sounds just like a racist. Whats the difference between a White Racist and a Black Racist? TIMING
BLM the KKK of the time.
Sadly Grundy and many other Activist professors like being on the stage it gives her a feeling of POWER.
zeprin says
I call “Cultural Appropriation”!
She’s speaking English while wearing Western/European-American Fashion and Make Up….
somehistory says
People like her are hypocrites. they make claims about others that are true of themselves…more so than is true of the ones about which they complain.

Muslim men have property, they are called daughters or wives!
