Students call for removal of UCF professor after discovery of 'racist' posts

The United States woke up Thursday to the trending topic #UCFfirehim after students discovered the Twitter feed of a psychology professor that they students claim is ‘racist, homophobic, islamaphobic and transphobic.’

Charles Negy is also the author of a book titled "White Shaming: Bullying Based on Prejudice Virtue-signaling and Ignorance," which is described in part as:

In a country that proclaims to value diversity and multiculturalism, white Americans and white culture frequently are under siege for a host of transgressions, ranging from colonialism to slavery, Jim Crow laws to racism, and from microaggressions to white privilege. Whites often are expected to "shut up," own their presumed racism, and feel guilty for the wrongdoings of others who simply belonged to their racial group. The author calls these attacks "White shaming," and using contemporary examples, argues that White shaming is a form of bullying.
