On June 6, Lisa Durden appeared on the Fox News show "Tucker Carlson Tonight," to discuss why Black Lives Matter organizers held a Brooklyn event for black people exclusively. Durden, a media commentator, is also an adjunct professor who teaches two effective speech courses, mass communication, and popular culture courses at Essex County College in Newark. Carlson tried to nail her down on the topic, but Durden deftly avoided his question.

CARLSON: “I thought the whole point of Black Lives Matter, or one of the points, would be to speak out against singling people out on the basis of their race and punishing them for that because you can’t control what your race is, and yet they seem to be doing that, explain that to me."

DURDEN: “What I say to that is boo hoo hoo you white people are angry because you couldn’t use your white privilege card to get invited to the Black Lives Matters, all black, Memorial Day celebration. White folks crack me up all of a sudden, when we want one day for black folks to focus on ourselves but you’ve been having white days for ever, you don’t say the words anymore because you know its politically incorrect."

Here's her appearance:

​Two days later, she went to school where she was planning on teaching her class. However, the school told her to cancel class and report to the Human Resources Department. In that meeting, the HR assistant director told Durden that her association with the college during her Fox appearance had caused some complaints.

Since Durden had (hyperbolically) told her students that she'd only miss class in case of her death, the students were concerned. “They did this to humiliate me,” she told The Star-Ledger. “Essex County College publicly lynched me in front of my students.”

Um, no, you weren't lynched. You were let go because you exposed yourself on national television as an angry racist.
