A lot of black people agree with me in the comment section. I did not see any malice of intent with the female professor. Maybe she was saying it out of concern for black students. She could have been easily taken out of context. It could be a slip of the tongue. Her frustration could be legitimate meaning that she wants black students to perform better? And she is the only one who brought it up? Kinda sad that she was shut down without an explanation. A lot of black people also understood her side as seen in the comments.

Well course I am aware that the N word has a derogatory use. So i don't understand how I could argue that I don't think that saying Blacks should be an insult. Then saying Indians or Chinese should also be an insult. Blacks means black people? Also I don't see where the professor used the term in a racist and disparaging sense. She wasn't using a derogatory word such as the N word that people could use during private conversations as was the case with Amber Guyger whose text messages revealed racial undertones. All this professor said was the "the lower ones are Blacks." She could have easily said "the lower ones are Hispanics." She was trying to make a point that on an average it's the black students who don't perform well enough. I think the situation is very skewed because she is a white woman and commenting on black people.. I think the outcome would have been the same had she said "a lot of my lower ones are black students." This case certainly does not show racism in any manner, direct or covert. And to be fired over a comment that is hardly racist or derogatory is laughable.. This is where cancel culture goes too far. She was trying to make a point. That black students don't perform well. Without using the word black how is she supposed to say that? So if people from other races talk facts or statistics regarding a particular group of black people, let's say black kids or black women or black students, it would be considered racist??? Then how is any discussion on any race possible by that logic? Racism should be where derogatory language is used. Is referring to a black person as a black person racist? In my opinion she should have been given a chance to clarify her stand. Instead of being fired This was neither a case of systemic racism nor a case of personal case of racism. In many cases, I tend to recognise and fight racism when I see it But if black people start being offended by even casual references to their community or people, things are going to be very difficult for everyone involved This is like taking things too far.

Why is the usage of the term blacks instead of black people such a big deal? Don't we say whites, Chinese, Hispanics, Indians etc? Then what's the problem in saying Blacks? Its a reference right? I usually never say Blacks. But I'm not American either. Could get very confusing to people from other cultures who don't know much about black history.

I've often observed that men who got good game are looked at with awe and praised. They are called studs. But when a woman is trying to be seductive, people and mostly men look down on her. Like she is not supposed to have game? Why this double standard? Why are women always supposed to act coy and demure? Why is that when a woman is acting flirty, it's immediately frowned upon? Always struck me as a bit odd and hypocritical. Or maybe for a predator a fish slowly swimming towards him freaks him out.

@Arcangelo What logic is this that If I don't obey the police, I need to get shot So if tomorrow the police officer is trying to rape me and I try to escape him, he gets the right to shoot me??? Bro, you're wrong on the constitution. Constitution reserves my right to STAND MY GROUND AND DISOBEY. It's called human rights Ain't no police deciding laws
