A Florida professor who cited “black privilege” among several controversial posts about race amid the national protests over George Floyd’s death is being investigated over the messages, school officials said.

Recent tweets on the personal account of Charles Negy — a University of Central Florida associate psychology professor and author of “White Shaming: Bullying Based on Prejudice, Virtue-Signaling and Ignorance” — were being evaluated by school officials Thursday after students and alumni called for his ouster.

“Black privilege is real: Besides affirm. action, special scholarships and other set asides, being shielded from legitimate criticism is a privilege,” Negy tweeted. “But as a group, they’re missing out on much needed feedback.”

In another, Negy tweeted: “Sincere question: If Afr. Americans as a group, had the same behavioral profile as Asian Americans (on average, performing the best academically, having the highest income, committing the lowest crime, etc.), would we still be proclaiming ‘systemic racism’ exists?”

The professor’s tweets were protected as of Thursday afternoon, meaning users had to request access from him to view his posts.
