Whoops!
City University of New York (CUNY) professor of Urban Sociology, Andrew Beveridge, appeared on CNN Saturday to discuss the census when he nearly called black people slaves, a slip host Michael Smerconish pretends not to hear.
“You’re absolutely right, ever since the 14th Amendment, all people in the United States have to be counted; women, children, slaav…uh, blacks, non-citizens, etc.”

He could have just left it at women and children….. I am sure there are black people that are “women and children”….. but no, not Andrew Beveridge, he has to point out Slaves too

Beveridge, who is also an advisor to the New York Times and ACLU, is rated as a 2.8 out of 5 on ratemyprofessors.com, with one former student noting: “Appears to be the dimwitted professor but do not let him fool you. Avoid this class at all costs. Not much is learnt there and you will regret it.” Another student said “Impossible to talk to this guy; his mind is elsewhere — he barely looks you in the eye.”
Other students had positive reviews for Beveridge, saying he’s a “Good professor but the class is a little disorganized,” and “Awesome A class, not really necessary to attend but class is very small so he knows everyone.”
Poor Andy’s never gonna live this down…
