Chose du passé la question raciale? 'Slaves Were Always Late'

Un prof de science po. a été congédié à l'Université Murray pour avoir avoir reproché un retard à une étudiante noire en lui affirmant que ça ne le surprenait pas puisque les esclaves étaient toujours en retard. Il avait commencé son cours 15 minutes avant l'heure...

"Arlene Johnson, a freshman from Sikeston, Mo., told the Ledger & Times in a telephone interview that one day in August, she came to class early to find that a film was already in progress. She said that after class, she and another student asked professor Mark Wattier why the film had started before the official start time of the class, and she said he told them that when screening films, he typically started them 10-15 minutes before class.
"We said, 'Well, we didn't know that. It wasn't on the syllabus, so we were unaware,'" Johnson said. "And then he said, 'Well, it's OK, I expect it of you guys anyway.' We asked him, 'What did that mean?' And he said the slaves never showed up on time, so their owners often lashed them for it. He just didn't have the right."
