As Michelle Obama likes to say, When they go low, we go higher. Here's another example of how high her movement goes.
A Fresno State professor called former first lady Barbara Bush an “amazing racist” who raised a “war criminal,” and expressed no concern that she could be fired or reprimanded for her outspokenness on social media.
Randa Jarrar, a professor in Fresno State’s Department of English, expressed her displeasure with the Bush family within an hour after the official announcement that Mrs. Bush died Tuesday at the age of 92.
“Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal,” Jarrar wrote on Twitter. “F--- outta here with your nice words.”
Jarrar, who in her Twitter messages describes herself as an Arab-American and a Muslim-American woman, goes on to maintain that she is a tenured professor and makes $100,000 a year.
“I will never be fired,” Jarrar tweeted.
In a separate tweet, she wrote: “If you'd like to know what it's like to be an Arab American Muslim American woman with some clout online expressing an opinion, look at the racists going crazy in my mentions right now.”
Racists apparently being anyone whom she dislikes. But if a prof had made the same comments about Winnie Mandela, the media wouldn't have stopped until he was out of a job.
And, unlike Winnie Mandela, Barbara Bush didn't murder a 14-year-old boy while singing.
Randa Jarrar already has quite the track record when it comes to Israel. Canary Mission has been keeping tabs on this BDS bigot.
Jarrar signed an open letter, published on February 2, 2009, that accused Israel of carrying out a “longtime racist jurisprudence against its indigenous Palestinian population, during which the Israeli state has systematically dispossessed, starved, tortured, and economically exploited the Palestinian people."
Signatories of the letter went on to “reject as untrue" that Hamas “is an irredeemable terrorist organization" and to “call on all people of conscience to join us in boycotting Israeli products and institutions."
Specifically, the letter claims, "We reject as untrue the Israeli government's claims that the Palestinians use civilians as human shields, and that Hamas is an irredeemable terrorist organization. Without endorsing its platforms or philosophy, we recognize Hamas as a democratically elected ruling party."
Randa Jarrar has signed on to all sorts of petitions pushing boycotts of Israel. It's not surprising that she hates anyone who resists Islamic terror. She had previously gone viral for a Salon piece titled, "Why I hate white belly dancers."
Women I have confronted about this have said, “But I have been dancing for 15 years! This is something I have built a huge community on.” These women are more interested in their investment in belly dancing than in questioning and examining how their appropriation of the art causes others harm. To them, I can only say, I’m sure there are people who have been unwittingly racist for 15 years. It’s not too late. Find another form of self-expression.
Jarrar found hers. Hate.
