Tolerance
It’s easy to understand why we tolerate even a hateful bigot like Ms. Grundy, it’s necessary within a pluralistic society. What I don’t understand is why it’s necessary to give a public platform and the status of teacher to such a hateful individual.
Will Boston University now hire a Klansman to maintain the balance of hate?
I mean, that just makes sense doesn’t it? If you’re going to hire a hateful, black female, shouldn’t you also hire a hateful, white male to maintain balance?
How do you like her Twitter handle; lord commander? Think it gives a clue about her?
Personally, I think people like Ms. Grundy (...and Klansmen and Neo Nazis and Jihadis, and....) should be kept in laboratory cages and studied as the nasty and infectious organisms they are. They should be segregated from decent people to prevent further infection while we study them and learn about the real nature of hateful bigotry.
Here are links to some of the articles about Ms. Grundy, including the one from Socawledge that summarizes her tweets and started it all. Especially interesting are Ms. Grundy’s comments on the controversy (facile and dishonest) and the comments of her defenders (I’ve heard similar things from Neo Nazis).

Now, make your voices heard. Here are some contact links for Boston University. Make sure they understand just how completely unacceptable it is to promote racial and gender hatred.
President Robert Brown is first:

...and two others.

Since Ms. Grundy is not only hateful, but has lied about the history of slavery in the U.S., Africa, Europe and the Mid East, I recommend:
Before the Mayflower: A History of Black America, 1619–1962, by Lerone Bennet, Jr.
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/before-the-mayflower-lerone-bennett-jr/1103791757?ean=9780140178227
Mr. Bennet is no White apologist and details the history very well. It’s ugly, but at least honest.
btw - Mr. Bennet is an interesting individual in his own right. Here’s a link to his Wikipedia biography:

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
