Towson University has fired an adjunct professor who used a racial slur in class.
Professor Allen Zaruba told 11 News he shouldn't have used the term to refer to himself during a class. But he said he believes the university went too far in firing him.

He was fired and replaced at Towson, but he also teaches somewhere else.
I was guessing the “slur” wasn’t
“honkey”, “cracker”, or “slope”...
So what’s his risk? He will get 2+ YEARS of unemployment.
“Slope?”
What’s “slope?”
Asians.
Particularly Vietnamese.
Apocalypse Now: “It scares the hell out of the slopes!!!”
At least he didn’t say Adios Amigo to an Air Mexico pilot
like the kid controller at JFK.(snort)
““Slope?”
What’s “slope?”
...gook
How can the evil corporate plantation owners fire a negro for him using a black approved term of endearment between brothers?
If a white man were to use that term, I could see it but if I were the fired guy, I'd sue the university. S/OFF
...of course he’s gotta be disiplined...Towson is in Baltimore...a city that’s 65% black...black mayor/city council/fire/police/social services/school board/home of the NAACP....the entire power structure is dominated by black Democrats...Towson has to get along in it’s home town...if it means throwing some guy under the bus, then so be it.
Wow. Good thing he wasn’t a ‘tard.
I believe it was very niggardly of the college to fire him....
I see.
He says:
“It is not a mortal sin for a white person to use it. It depends on how they use it and what content....”
He’s wrong. When a White person uses it, he is fired without recourse. This is an extremely rare occurence - a non-White being fired for using the word. His firing is fair.
There is a double standard in application of the law regarding racial slurs. Whenever a White is accused of a slur, he is automatically judged guilty and is punished without recourse. This case is a first. He got what he deserved. Let the firing stand. (it won’t. it will be rescinded, cuz that’s the double standard)
This is going to be a black mark on his permanent record ;-)
It is a “mortal sin” for a white person that EVEN SOUNDS like it... like “niggardly”.
Hell, I am thinking about suing them and I am not even involved or black. Can a white man be an N on the corporate plantation? If it is a term of derision I don't know why not!
Why are comedians exempt from political correctness?
So many questions and so few answers where the Left is concerned.
It is hard for me to imagine getting fired in America for using a word... any word. People are too sensitive.
So now I can be fired from my job by referring to MYSELF as a honky?
Move over, Don Sterling!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
