This lady needs to be registered as a habitual internet offender. Take away the password to her Twitter account, or at least put some kind of a Scarlett letter on those Tweets so we can see her coming! She has been convicted of abusing telecom services and the thoughtlessness with which she continues to abuse the common airwaves of the internet is astounding.
Prof. Saida Grundy came to the public’s attention in recent tweet where she blamed white men for being a problem population. Unfortunately that wasn’t just a one-off as she would have us believe. In response to that tweet she claimed she tweeted “indelicately.”
She also had another dust up with a white rape victim when she told her to, “Go cry somewhere.” Part of that exchange is below:
Ms. Grundy exploded:
“THIS IS THE [expletive] I AM TALKING ABOUT. WHY DO YOU GET TO PLAY THE VICTIM EVERY TIME PEOPLE OF COLOR AND OUR ALLIES WANT TO POINT OUT RACISM. my CLAWS?? Do you see how you just took an issue that WASNT about you, MADE it about you, and NOW want to play the victim when I take the time to explain to you some [expletive] that is literally $82,000 below my pay grade? And then you promote your #whitegirltears like that’s some badge you get to wear… YOU BENEFIT FROM RACISM. WE’RE EXPLAINING THAT TO YOU and you’re vilifying my act of intellectual altruism by saying i stuck my “claws” into you?”
At this point it may come as no surprise that Saida Grundy is no stranger to internet harassment. She pleaded guilty to malicious use of telecom services when she set up a fake profile to harass a woman dating her on again off again boyfriend in 2007.
“I was crushed and hurt, I had a lot of stress and jealousy, I wanted to do something, so I made a profile for (her) on an adult website,” Grundy said, according to the police report. The website, fling.com, is for adults looking for trysts, the report said.
….
Grundy also admitted that she created other online accounts in the victim’s name “just to annoy her” and so “random junk mail” would be sent to her.….
Grundy gave a statement posted on boston.com yesterday that said: “When this incident occurred I was 24, and exercised the poor judgment of a heartbroken 24 year old. I took accountability then as I do now. I hold true to the lessons learned, and my life has since moved on.”
Yeah, you just cannot expect a 24 year old who is studying for a Masters in sociology to be all that mature or prudent. They need time to grow out of the recklessness and irresponsibility. Eight years later, PhD in hand, professor job, and she’s still working on it.
