Boston University professor in racist tweet flap



The same Boston University professor who recently has sparked outrage by labeling white male college students 'a problem population,' in February lashed out at a white rape victim during a heated Facebook exchange. Saida Grundy, incoming black sociology professor at BU, was forced to issue an apology last week for her racially charged tweets condemning Caucasian men, which University President Robert Brown called 'hurtful' in his open letter penned to the campus last Tuesday. Today it emerged that months before the controversy over Grundy's negative tweets slamming 'white masculinity,' the veteran educator reportedly ridiculed Meghan Chamberlin, a Caucasian woman who has publicly identified herself as a survivor of sexual assault.

We are still in the wake of the powerful Mars-Saturn opposition of May 15. A chart drawn for the opposition at Boston has Mars-Saturn aligned with the meridian completing a T-square with Neptune at the apex. With Mars in Gemini and Saturn in Sagittarius it should come as no surprise to hear of a heated exchange (Mars)  on social media (Gemini) involving a university professor (Sagittarius). Neptune is a planet associated with the victim while Mars making a hard aspect to Pluto is a symbol of sexual violence or rape [1].
To complete the jigsaw puzzle we note that for the stars that form the backdrop to Neptune [9pi] Diana Rosenberg lists “expressions of race and religious prejudice” [2].
