University of GA: 'Some white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole'
2019-01-19
[Campus Reform] A University of Georgia (UGA) teaching assistant wrote Wednesday on Facebook that "some white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole in this struggle to advance to freedom." He added that to suggest otherwise is "ahistorical and dangerously naive."

UGA philosophy TA Irami Osei-Frimpong made the comment during a conversation on the Overheard at UGA Facebook page. The comment has since been deleted. Osei-Frimpong claimed in May 2017 that Facebook suspended him for quoting from an article which detailed how Texas A&M professor Tommy Curry had said "in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die."

"Fighting white people is a skill" Tweet This
"Killing some white people isn’t genocide; it’s killing some white people," the UGA TA explained in a Medium post. "We had to kill some white people to get out of slavery. Maybe if we’d killed more during the 20th century we still wouldn’t talk about racialized voter disenfranchisement and housing, education, and employment discrimination. This should not be controversial."

#18  Went to Costco today. A "black man" running a demo was trash-talking President Trump (He's a RACIST!) to a black woman who had some good things to say about PDJT.

Didn't report the a$$hole to store management, but this crap is unquestionably oozing its way into public discourse.

Who might benefit from a race war?

#16  Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.

#15  Several hundred thousand white people died so black people could be freed from slavery. This guy makes that look like a big mistake.

#14  In a better time he would have been laughed off campus just ahead of the tar and feathers for saying something this stupid. Black communities being made whole, does not depend upon whites or asians or any others. It depends upon the black communities.

#13  Chris - unless you're willing to cover the financial and legal damage? STFU. People that have actual jobs where management might have a bone to pick with evidence provided will thank you and #3

#11  It's too easy for somebody sitting in the ivy covered halls of academia to talk about violence when they know they will never get anywhere near it. I can't help wondering how this guy would react if somebody stuck a fist in his face, let alone a gun.

#10  Idiots. That's what is wrong with academia - people like this should be shown the door and tossed on their pointy little heads for being incredibly stupid.

First off, I have ancestors that fought on the UNION side to liberate your ancestors, so I've paid the debt through thier blood.

Second, what possible cause is there for violence now about wrongs from 100 years and more ago?

Third, my wife's people came over to escape communists and death camps, so they owe you precisely jack shit.

Fourth: Try to shed the blood of me and mine in the name of your stupidity, you will end up bleeding and/or dead. I am trained, and I am armed.

I can bet this: all these leftists advocating civil war or armed violence have never seen the real thing. All I can say to them is "You obviously have never seen real war, you don't know what you're asking for" And

"Please be at the front of the assault so I can be sure to shoot you first".

#9  not bother?

It was the right thing to do. The fact that it's not appreciated by a certain segment of the population says more about them.

#8  Big talk for only being 13% of the population.

A bit more than 13% in Fulton and surrounding counties. Just a bit more.

#6  A comment at Insty:

If you could go back in time, would you advise your Union Soldier ancestors to just stay home and not bother? I would.

#4  He might couple that with a little history

Like what happened after Reconstruction?

#2  Actually, the kid has it right. It's just that the "white people" are the leaders of the Dims (not that I am advocating their killing), so the people of color can be released from the lib-prog welfare plantation.

#1   Irami Osei-Frimpong might have a few skeletons in his closet.

This guy is a philosophy student. He might couple that with a little history. Check out the Civil War jerk, many, many white people died for the emancipation cause. So FYVM.
