OF THE
TIMES
Brittney Cooper, an associate professor in the Rutgers University Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies , ...Oh my God.

Time has a history, and so do black people. But we treat time as though it is timeless, as though it has always been this way, as though it doesn't have a political history bound up with the plunder of indigenous lands, the genocide of indigenous people and the stealing of Africans from their homeland. When white, male European philosophers first thought to conceptualize time and history, one famously declared, Africa is no historical part of the world. He was, essentially, saying that Africans were people outside of history who had had no impact on time or the march of progress. ...To which I say, and your point is???......
Now, we also see this idea that black people are people either alternately outside the bounds of time or stuck in the past in a scenario where, much as I'm doing right now, a black person stands up and insists that racism still matters, and a person - usually white - says to them, why are you stuck in the past?As re this: "I said what I meant. And I curse cuz I'm grown," Cooper wrote in a tweet thread. "I have tenure. Rutgers won't be firing me for tweets" I guess that she to get something right. Meanwhile Steven Jones and Dr. McCullough have been and are being crucified.
Comment: Cooper is also probably insane.
