Nor does Mullings, who is the university's first vice-provost of equity, diversity and inclusion, want to vilify the professor in the video who used the slur.
"We are deeply sorry our students experienced anti-Black racism in a classroom," spokesman David Sorensen wrote. "Anti-Black racism is a systemic issue, and Memorial is committed to redressing anti-Black racism, and to fostering Black inclusion on our campuses, and in our curriculum." Memorial was among the signatories, and Mullings said she's confident the school is working to implement the charter and address anti-Black racism. She said she also has faith the lecture and its implications won't be swept under the rug.The racial slur in the lecture needs to be used as a learning opportunity, Mullings added. "The N-word, no matter when it's used or how it's used by somebody who is not of an African heritage, is wrong. Period," she said.
What was the context?
I disagree with SobiaSShaikh on one point. The N-word should never be used this way by anyone, including people of African descent. Even though your aims are noble, giving beneficial treatment to people based on race is still racism.
