A Boston University assistant professor deemed property racist while defending riots in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in a Wednesday video.
Boston University assistant professor Saida Grundy compared looting in the aftermath of George Floyd‘s death to black people “looting themselves” from slavery, according to a video posted by the university. Grundy also urged people not to judge communities’ reactions and to listen to them to address their needs.
“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.”— @BU_CAS's Saida Grundy pic.twitter.com/FK85qVF3Xf

“We hear President Biden say, you know, I understand your frustrations but don’t destroy property,” Grundy said. “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,” Grundy added.
Grundy is a “feminist sociologist of race & ethnicity” who covers women’s and gender studies, sociology and African-American studies, according to Boston University. Her prior research has examined masculinity and “social justice capitalism” as well as “racialized rape culture.”
Boston University and Grundy did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

I do wish some thugs would relieve her of ALL her property.
Who granted this moron the title of professor? Was it a slow day at the affirmative action office? What is she a professor of besides utter bulls hit?
Not only is her opinion foolish and ignorant, it’s also reckless and dangerous.
MY property is neither racist nor bigoted, nor are my weapons that I WILL use to protect those in my own home.
What’s racist and bigoted? Defending crime because the person has a certain skin tone.
Thieves are just that!! Thieves and criminals who should go to jail.
Good heavens the junk they teach and believe in Boston is sickening.
Hey chicko – We can and will judge behavior any time we want – and we can judge people, outright. You’re not suggesting that you’re Christian are you? Commies are atheist. So, we CAN judge, correct? And riots fall under the category of what YOU refer to as “anti-social behavior”.
What’s the penalty for anti-social behavior, again?
Another good reason why Higher Education, isn’t
They can be freed from breathing very easily…..
