University of Mississippi professor Kiese Laymon says Donald Trump is “impulsive, greedy,” and “gleefully ignorant,” but also “has a big booty” that is “juicy,” reports Campus Reform. The University of Missippi distanced itself from Laymon’s remark about Trump’s “big booty,” saying Laymon made it “in is personal capacity,” not his job as a professor. Laymon added that “when I read like Trump in 3rd grade, all my boys would whisper, ‘Why he can’t read?’…over thirty years later, this bastard gets a standing ovation for never ever being hooked on phonics.”
“Trump is what white folks feared the 1st black president would be except he’s a mascot for white supremacy,” Ole Miss English and creative writing professor Kiese Laymon tweeted. “He’s impulsive, greedy, gleefully ignorant, big bootied, erratic, terrible w money, sexually violent, hooks up felonious friends, has 3 baby mamas, & eats all the chicken.”
“The fact that he has a big booty is the greatest betrayal. Spiritually, he belongs to the land of the booty-bereft,” one of his followers responded.
“This is what keeps me up at night. Waste of a juicy booty on that evil fucker. proof that god is white, chile,” Professor Laymon replied.
“His [Trump’s] booty is on point,” Laymon said in a separate response in the same thread, complaining that it made him “so mad” that it is “wide. High. Juicy.”
Derogatory speech about the president is generally protected by the First Amendment. The Supreme Court, in a 5-to-4 vote, ruled that the First Amendment protected an employee in a county constable’s office from termination for applauding an assassination attempt on the then-president. After an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, the employee said, “If they go for him again, I hope they get him.” The Supreme Court ruled that was protected by freedom of speech, in Rankin v. McPherson (1987).
College officials have said things far worse than what Laymon said. In 2022, the director of UCLA’s race and equity office, Johnathan Perkins, reacted to the death of England’s Queen Elizabeth by saying,“Good riddance.” Perkins also publicly yearned for the death of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, saying on Twitter that “no one wants to openly admit [we all] hope Clarence Thomas dies.”
