Princeton Prof Tells Graduates: Trump ‘a Racist, Sexist Megalomaniac

Tell us how you really feel.

An African American studies assistant professor from Princeton was invited to deliver a commencement address to graduates of Hampshire College in Massachusetts and proceeded to call President Trump "a racist, sexist megalomaniac.”

Just over two minutes into her 20-minute-speech, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor proclaimed, “The president of the United States, the most powerful politician in the world, is a racist, sexist megalomaniac.”

“It's not a benign observation,” she added, “but has meant tragic consequences for many people in our country -- from terror-inducing raids in the communities of undocumented immigrants to his disparaging of refugees in search of freedom and respite.”

The Daily Mail has more:

Taylor, who is the author of 'From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation', suggested that political activism is the reason why the federal court has struck down Trump's executive orders that restrict immigration from several Muslim-majority countries.  

'When Trump's first illegal Muslim travel ban was attempted, thousands of ordinary people flooded the airports around this country,' she said. 

'And because of those protests, and the defiance they represented, that ban was stopped - not once, but twice. 

'It is not enough just to be outraged. Injustice has to actually be defied.'

Taylor also chided Attorney General Jeff Sessions “who embraces and promulgates policies that have already proven to have had a devastating impact on black families and communities.”

Hampshire’s invitation to this radical black professor is no surprise. After all, the $49,000/year private university was the one that instituted a ban on flying the American flag on campus after the election. That decision came after the administration ordered the flag at half-staff to mourn the election of Donald Trump. Once the flag was allowed to fly again, Hampshire offered mental support groups for those who remained “fearful” of the American flag.

With delicate snowflakes such as this, it’s amazing 300 students managed to graduate.
