Being black beats working for a living. It pays better:

Texas A&M University reached a $1 million settlement Thursday with a Black journalism professor whose hiring was sabotaged by backlash over her past work promoting diversity.

The lucky victim of oppression is Kathleen McElroy.

Texas A&M was going to hire her to a coveted tenure track position, but there was “internal pushback from then-unidentified individuals over her past work to improve diversity and inclusion in newsrooms,” as AP describes her focus on antiwhite discrimination.

According to investigation documents released Thursday, those individuals included at least six board of regents members who began “asking questions and raising concerns about McElroy’s hiring” after Texas Scorecard, a right-leaning website, highlighted her past diversity, equity and inclusion work.

Sometimes pushback works. They managed to scuttle a potentially disastrous hire, which would have saddled the department with Affirmation Action hires.

They reduced the tenure track to a 1-year appointment from which she could be fired. Not good enough, she sniffed, and decided to stay put at ultraleft UT-Austin.

Then she collected her jackpot justice. No worries; Texas A&M is a public university, so it has bottomless pockets.

The outrageous story is not an aberration. In New York, those of privileged pigmentation have been paid $2 million for not getting hired because they flunked the teachers’ exam and $11.25 million for getting fired for being late 47 times. No wonder so many strive to be marginalized and oppressed.
