Trinity College professor calls white people ‘inhuman’: ‘Let them f-ing die’ - Sensationalist Headlines

[t]http://truthfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Williams-Cover-1024x538.jpg[/t] [t]https://s3.amazonaws.com/campusreform/9334/Williams-4.jpg[/t] [quote]A Connecticut college professor has created a firestorm for calling white people “inhuman a-holes” who need to “die” following last week’s shooting attack on congressional Republicans. Trinity College’s Johnny Eric Williams’ social media feed after the June 14 shooting of Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise included racial tirades and commentary calling on minorities to “confront” white people and “end this now,” a reference to an alleged system of “white supremacy.” “It is past time for the racially oppressed to do what people who believe themselves to be ‘white’ will not do, put end to the vectors of their destructive mythology of whiteness and their white supremacy system. #LetThemF–ingDie,” the associate professor of sociology said June 18 in a series of Facebook posts. “The time is now to confront these inhuman assholes and end this now.” The educational watchdog Campus Reform and The Blaze both reached out to the professor for comment Tuesday to no avail. Trinity College offered no statement regarding the professor’s action. Instead, the Hartford institution reiterated its right on Facebook to “remove comments that are deemed inappropriate, profane, defamatory, or disrespectful to users of the page and/or members of the greater Trinity College community.” Mr. Williams’ Facebook page also featured an anonymous article on Medium accusing Mr. Scalise of being a racist and “one of the most anti-LGBTQ politicians in Washington.” “If you see [white people] drowning. If you see them in a burning building. If they are bleeding out in an emergency room. If the ground is crumbling beneath them. If they are in a park and they turn their weapons on each other: do nothing,” a June 16 article by “Son of Baldwin” says. “Let. Them. F-ing. Die. And smile a bit when you do.”[/quote] [url]http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/21/johnny-eric-williams-trinity-college-professor-cal/[/url] [url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2017/06/21/trinity-college-closes-conn-campus-in-response-to-threats-received/[/url] He later fled to get away from the campus and issued an apology. The School was shut down for a day due to threats. [quote]Professor Johnny Eric Williams Thursday issued a public apology and said he was in hiding far from Connecticut as the campus reopened amid a furor over his recent controversial Facebook posts. Williams said his posts were not a call for violence against white people, as some claimed when the posts spread across social media. Some of his colleagues spoke out in support of Williams, who fled Hartford after receiving death threats. The controversial pair of Facebook posts included an inflammatory and profane hashtag — "Let Them [expletive] Die" — that was widely shared on social and conservative media, leading to the threats against Williams and calls for him to be fired. "It was overwhelming for my family," Williams said. "I have to look out for my family. I've got young kids." On Wednesday, Trinity President Joanne Berger-Sweeney shut down the campus because of the threats and said the school would investigate whether Williams had violated college policies. Williams, who has said the firestorm over his Facebook posts was caused by misinterpretations of them, also emailed an apology Thursday to the campus for the uproar that ensued. "In yesterday's frenzy, amid the the escalating threats to my family and me and the incessant harassment that so many associated with Trinity College were receiving, there is one important thing I didn't say: I am sorry," said Williams, who has retained a lawyer. "I regret that the hashtag that I quoted from the title of an article was misinterpreted and mis-perceived as inciting violence and calling for the death of 'white' people. "I never intended to invite or incite violence. My only aim was to bring awareness to white supremacy and to inspire others to address these kinds of injustices."[/quote] [url]http://www.courant.com/education/hc-trinity-williams-facebook-furor-20170622-story.html[/url]

Well uh, fire the cunt and make sure he never works in any socially significant position again? "I never intended to invite or incite violence." " My only aim was to bring awareness to white supremacy and to inspire others to address these kinds of injustices." "#LetThemFuckingDie" [I]One of these things doesn't belong[/I]

Interesting image source. [url]http://www.campusreform.org/[/url] I'm surprised some of these stories aren't posted more often.

Johnny "Slowpoke" Williams you are a few decades late on the end white supremacy thing my dude. To be more serious I can't wait for reactionary tweet ~news~ like this to stop being reported on (or posted, tudd!!) once everyone realizes some rando's drivel doesn't fucking matter. Fire and move on.

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;52392908]Interesting image source. [url]http://www.campusreform.org/[/url] I'm surprised some of these stories aren't posted more often.[/QUOTE] For some obvious reasons. It is the only images that were capture before they were taken down. But the professor admitted and apologized to the posts anyways. So who cares who captured them before they were deleted in the first place?

Reading this man's statements in context, in spite of his egregiously poor wording, it seems pretty clear to me he's directing his statements toward racist politicians and white supremacists rather than all white people as a whole. The way he's quoted in the article here is pretty deceptive.

Kind of off-topic, but this is rapidly becoming a pet peeve of mine and I'm seeing it everywhere these days.

I'm sorry... That you all misunderstood me." That ain't an apology. You apologize for your own mistakes, don't deflect blame in your apology. It's just tacky.

[quote]"I regret that the hashtag that I quoted from the title of an article was misinterpreted and mis-perceived as inciting violence and calling for the death of 'white' people.[/quote] Fuck you and your non apology. When you're attacking white people and using #Letthemdie, that's not misinterpretation or misperception, that's you being an idiot.

Why can't white people be proud of the fact that they're white? It's a pretty stupid thing to be proud of your skin color, but whatever. #letthembeproud

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;52392931]Fuck you and your non apology.

This isn't a 'non-apology,' this is damage control and covering his ass legally. Let's be real here, the real scummy and dumb thing he did was post on Facebook about killing white people, not how he apologized about it.

-snip, it's talking about the one in Connecticut, my bad-

The way he's quoted in the article here is pretty deceptive.[/QUOTE] If he wanted to say politicians and white supremacists he should've said exactly that. When you say "people who believe themselves to be white" you're including everyone. I'll wholeheartedly agree any day of the week that the politicians for my state are racist bigoted assholes who shouldn't be there but I'm the most libdem motherfucker I know and to me this just looks like another "you're white so you should die" post I see every other month. It hardly affects me or hurts my feelings but it's fucking stupid that shit like this doesn't get people fired on the spot. Regardless of what he meant, he fucked up his wording super heavily.

[t]http://truthfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Williams-Cover-1024x538.jpg[/t] So as long as I don't self-identify as white (?), I'm all clear to be a dickhead?

While what he said was absolutely retarded, that's still no reason to make threats against his life. Trinity is an OK school though, it's in the middle of Hartford (state capital).

It's like these people would rather be Malcolm X rather than MLK. It's a shame really, because I get it, you want your govt. to treat you better, you don't want to be afraid of cops because of your skin color, all that good shit, but when you want to get those goals by suggesting that your people should start killing off the whites, you have become just as bad as the racists bigots you so boldly oppose. And there's nothing more cowardly than a man who says shit like this then hides. Especially when he had a family. He should've thought about his kids before he opened his idiotic mouth. He should be ashamed that he's a father and can call for the death of other families.

He's been put on leave: [url]http://www.wfsb.com/story/35754456/ct-professor-who-posted-controversial-comments-placed-on-leave[/url]

I wish this 'fuck white people' shit would stop. I'm sick of seeing white sjw retards jumping on that bandwagon just so they can get their moment in the spotlight. Wow you must be so progressive and tolerant, I bet a black person even clapped. Fight racism by trying to incite racism towards whites seems to be the trend the last few years, doesnt make it not racism just because omg white privilege. Fucking numpties.

Sadly the piece of shit stereotype sjws will defend this as "free speech" while they continue to scream "hate speech" when white people have a non violent and non slanderous opinion on anything. Fuck all this double standard bullshit.

But the beauty of being British is that we have invaded most of the world throughout history, and yet we complain about immigration. All I can say in response to that is "I'm British, of course it's my fault!" :v:

It's a conservative soapbox to bitch and moan about "lefties" in university. Of course they're going to twist things horrendously and take them out of context, it's part of their MO. Sure, they might hit on something that happened once or twice, but I wouldn't take their take on anything, even with a small citys' worth of salt.
