Everyone's Favorite BU Professor Back In The News For Mocking White Rape Victim On Facebook, Telling Her To "Go Cry Somewhere"
Fox News – Boston University, which has already condemned the racist Tweets of an incoming faculty member, has now been sent an outrageous Facebook exchange in which a poster who identifies herself as the controversial sociology professor mercilessly ridicules a white rape victim.
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, made in a February public chat, felt “like a kick in the stomach.”
The woman who identified herself as Grundy posted the comments after Chamberlin took issue with a controversial article on race that the Facebook thread had linked to.
“I LITERALLY cry and lose sleep over this,” Chamberlin wrote, adding she had been raped as a child and felt that: “what this article did was tell me that I’m not aloud (sic) to ask for help… Because I am a WHITE woman… So when I read this article… you do understand what that does to me, right? It kills me…”
The woman, who identified herself as Sai Grundy in the Feb. 25 thread and uses the same photo the professor uses on tweets she acknowledged last week, responded by making fun of the victim’s crying.
“’I literally cry’…. While we literally die,” she said before adding, “try this article. A white woman explaining this issue to other white women… who manages NOT to cry while doing it!”
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 that’s some badge you get to wear… YOU BENEFIT FROM RACISM. WE’RE EXPLAINING THAT TO YOU and you’re vilifying my act of intellectual altruism by saying i stuck my “claws” into you?”
Chamberlin responded by trying to leave the discussion. “I am choosing to “exit” this conversation,” she wrote.
But Grundy posted again, finishing with: “go cry somewhere. since that’s what you do.”
Chamberlin responded: “Will do.”
Grundy then responded to others: “am I mocking her tears or am I saying that her tears are meaningless displays of emotions because they don’t reflect at ALL an intention to understand the issue from the prospective (sic) of women of color or queer women.”
She added, “my name is *Sai*, but you can call me Dr. Grundy.”
Chamberlin told FoxNews.com she was shaken by the online run-in.
“What that day did was send me back years,” she said. “I felt like I was being “shhhh’d” again… I didn’t know Dr. Grundy was a professor or a doctor until she stated so… when I read that, the kick in the gut felt deeper,” she said.
The woman who alerted FoxNews.com to the Facebook thread said she did so even though she was friends with the original poster (and did not know Chamberlin personally) because she felt no rape survivor should have to go through what happened.
“Self-important and condescending academics are nothing unusual, but mocking a traumatized rape victim crosses a line,” she said.
…
Remember my girl Saida Grundy? The BU Professor (still employed by the way) who got people all hot under the collar for saying white college males were “a problem population” and owner of a pretty sweet Twitter feed 99% full of hating white people?
Well she’s back baby, and she’s taking no prisoners! Certainly not any whiny little “rape victims” trying to act like “victims” for “getting raped.” Can’t sneak your victimization routine by Grundy, not in real life, not on Facebook, not anywhere. Take your #WhiteGirlTears and cry to somebody else, we’ve got more important things to address, like white people ruining the planet with St. Patrick’s Day.
Look up Scumbag Moves in the Dictionary and somewhere in the top 3 results you’re going to find “trolling rape victims on the internet” So if you’re keeping track at home, that’s telling 42.4% of her school they aren’t welcome there because of the color of their skin, and traumatizing a rape victim. Can somebody let me know how it’s possible she still has a job teaching and mentoring kids when they have a chance?
PS – “Dear white people – you all Ben Affleck” still makes me laugh every time I see it.
