In a bizarre twist of events, a professor of Pan-African Studies at Cal State University, Melina Abdullah, has taken to Twitter to declare the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win as emblematic of “white supremacy.” The professor, who describes herself as a “#BlackLivesMatter organizer, Pan-Africanist, Hip Hop scholar, daughter of God, womanist, truth-teller, mama,” has made headlines for her controversial and outlandish claims.

Abdullah’s tweet questioning the racial implications of being a Taylor Swift fan has stirred the pot, with her suggesting that such a preference may be racist. When further probed to clarify her position, the professor maintained her stance, citing an uneasiness akin to when she sees an abundance of American flags.
Adding fuel to the fire, Abdullah later insinuated a right-wing and white supremacist agenda behind the Chiefs’ Super Bowl triumph. In response to the ensuing backlash, she remained steadfast in her conviction that “Virtually everything is racist.”
This is not Abdullah’s first foray into controversial statements. In a prior instance, she took to social media to convey that white individuals are not welcome at “Juneteenth cookouts,” advocating for the day to serve as “reparations day for white folks.” Her background reveals a lineage rooted in Marxist ideology, and her association with the Black Lives Matter movement further underscores the polarizing nature of her commentary.
Despite the incredulity and animosity her stance has garnered, Abdullah has maintained her socially divisive rhetoric, illustrating a stark willingness to push boundaries and incite controversy.
