An academic who was sacked after calling a Right-wing commentator a 'house n***o' is suing the university which cut ties with her for...Breach of contract? Unfair dismissal?
...discrimination against her belief in critical race theory and black radicalism.
Hahahahahaha!
The case could see black radicalism - an academic movement which argues race is a social construct used to oppress minorities - made into a protected belief system, like religious belief.
Well, they can't say they never saw this coming, can they?
Ms Khanom is being supported by Professor Kehinde Andrews, who branded Churchill a 'white supremacist', arguing the term 'house n***o' is not a 'racial slur' but a 'concept that come out (sic) of struggles for racial justice'.
Is there some grift involved, because there usually is?
On an online fundraising page created to raise £5,000 to cover her legal costs, Ms Khanom claimed she was the victim of a 'network of alt-Right activists'.
Ah. There it is!
She wrote: 'LBU's conduct towards me suggests that academics should be looking over their shoulder before they make statements about Israel and Palestine, or about critical race theory. That is why this case and LBU's role in it is not just about me and my reputation as an anti-racist.
'Fundamentally, this is an important issue of freedom of speech.'
Oh, you're not wrong there. But not the way you think....
Ms Khanom said the tweets were not sent by her, adding: 'No academic should find their contract terminated so publicly in the absence of a fair and thorough investigation.'
I don't recall you being so supportive of Maya Forstater or Dr Binoy Sobnack or Bo Winegard...maybe I missed the press releases?
n***o?
