Alright y’all, I’m pretty certain that there has been a concerted effort by educators to make this the worst Black History Month of all time. The amount of head-assery that has occurred over the past 25 days has got your boy in disbelief.

According to CNN, a professor at the University of Oklahoma has said the n-word. The professor issued a trigger warning to her class before reading a historical text that was apparently chock full of hard-R’s. Mind you, this is the same school where a professor said “Ok, boomer,” is the exact same thing as the N-word only two weeks ago.

White and Black people to get more room on 2020 census to explain their origins

I mean, she could have just said “n-word”. Hell, she could’ve even got a Black guest lecturer if she wanted to make a point about the word. I just don’t get it, y’all. I went to school in Georgia, Ohio and Arizona. All hella white red states. I managed to get through all four levels of education without hearing one n-word from a professor. Sure, there was always that awkward moment where the entire class wanted to know specifically how I felt during Black History Month but shit, man. At least my teachers didn’t have the audacity to bust out the hard-R during a screening of Roots.

I think we might need to look into instituting diversity training for people getting teaching degrees. Lesson one: Don’t use racial slurs. Just don’t.
