Georgetown Law professor caught complaining about black students on Zoom
2021-03-12
[NYPOST] A white Georgetown Law professor belittled black students during a Zoom call with a colleague, saying they “usually” perform “just plain at the bottom” of her classes, according to video posted online this week.
Oh, you can't say that! You be rayciss!
The brief clip, posted to Twitter Wednesday, shows an adjunct professor of law identified by the Georgetown Black Law Students Association as Sandra Sellers and another faculty member, David Batson, having what they believed was a private discussion about a class they jointly taught.

“I end up having this angst every semester that a lot of my lower ones are blacks,” Sellers said. “Happens almost every semester. And it’s like, oh come on. It’s some really good ones, but there are usually some that are just plain at the bottom. It drives me crazy.”
But yer not supposed to notice that sort of thing. To do so risks yer job!
Sellers made the comments after saying “they were a bit jumbled,” prompting Batson to apparently nod in agreement, the footage shows.
OH! He nodded in agreement. He's toast too!
Sandra Sellers, according to the Georgetown Black Law Students Association, was referencing the only black student in her class.
I thought she was talking about the pattern she was seeing, rather than her sole current dummy.
“That’s the best way I can put it,” Sellers said with a laugh on the call. “It’s like OK, let me reason through that, what you just said.”

Sellers, according to the BLSA, was referencing the only black student in her class. The organization is now calling for her immediate resignation, and a petition demanding her ouster has garnered hundreds of signatures from students, alumni and several Georgetown faculty members.
Decided to lynch her, did they?
“We demand nothing short of the immediate termination of Sandra Sellers as adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center,” the group said in a statement. “Not suspension. Not an investigation. The university must take swift and definitive action in the face of blatant and shameless racism.”

#5  Years ago, in an agency focused on Criminal Justice policy and resourcing in California, I had long conversations with senior leadership about the assertion of the criminal justice system being inherently racist against "people of color". Their disproportionate incarceration rates were used as proof for the assertion, coupled with some levels of under-representation in the ranks of sworn law enforcement. When I explained that if you dismissed the racial categorizations and instead viewed the offender base by matriarchy, single family households lacking a father, low education levels, unemployment/low-skilled employment, and urban density with gang proximity, you got exactly the proportional representation that existed at the time. But since that answer placed responsibility on the individuals and family choices, it was unacceptable. SO the reasoning had to be racism, because any other answer held other factors accountable and that didn't advance political objects.

#3  Know what will solve this? Half dozen movies starring black actors as brave and stunning lawyers. Maybe a Cuba Gooding, Jr. marathon in the meantime.
