A professor at the City University of New York locked her Twitter account after controversial comments blaming “white nuclear families” for racism and white supremacy.

“Part of what I’ve learned is that the white-nuclear family is one of the most powerful forces supporting white supremacy,” wrote Hunter College professor Jessie Daniels, in one of her controversial tweets. The tweets were screenshotted and obtained by the Daily Mail and other online media before they were made inaccessible.
