Georgia TA: 'Some white people may have to die...'
Campus Reform ^ | 1/17/19

Posted on 01/18/2019 4:10:19 AM PST by Altura Ct.

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 Facebooksuspended 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.”

Osei-Frimpong’s Wednesday comment, seemingly inspired by Curry, is far from the first racially-charged remark made by the scholar.

“Fighting white people is a skill,” the UGA TA tweeted on Jan. 12, adding that it is why he supports integrated schools. “You have to get used to fighting White people. It takes practice.”

He then quoted American clinical psychologist Bobby Wright, saying, “Blacks kill Blacks because they have never been trained to kill Whites.”

Last semester, at a Young Democrats meeting, Frimpong compared Southern whites in America to “sociopaths” and “autistic kids.” Later on, in November, he called for Democrats to “wage war on the white electorate” and wrote that white “institutions” that “make crappy white people” such as churches, schools, and families must be “dismantled.” Facebook subsequently gave Osei-Frimpong a temporary suspension.

Despite the TA’s history with controversial racial rhetoric, UGA has chosen not to take any action.

Regarding his latest comments, a spokesperson at UGA’s Equal Opportunities Office said in an email obtained by Campus Reform that Osei-Frimpong’s views expressed his “personal opinion,” in his “personal capacity,” on a private platform.

The spokesperson also asked the recipient of the email to contact their office if any information was discovered that showed Osei-Frimpong made “discriminatory or harassing comments” in his capacity as a member of the UGA community.

Some of Osei-Frimpong’s UGA colleagues have gone as far to defend his previous comments about white Americans. UGA Associate Professor of Brain and Behavioral Science Dr. Janet Frick once tweeted that the TA’s comments were not hate speech, but rather “hurt your feelings speech.”

Campus Reform reached out to Osei-Frimpong for further comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Osi-Pingpong, keep it up. Will make it so much easier to deal with you and people who think like you.

Turd should be expelled.

"That was Dead Red Ted Kennedy’s argument for confiscating wealth when you die. The fat bastard shielded his own estate from such surrender."

Ted Kennedy did great harm to America, but lived a life of privilege - including the privilege of getting away with vehicular manslaughter while under the influence (at the least). It's getting harder to share this nation with those who thought that was OK, and whose idea of justice was to put him back into office year after year essentially for his lifetime. We have very big problems.

Outstanding. Little girls need to be trained up as savages of DEATH nowadays. Unfortunate but it is what it is.

How would anybody know? Notice that comedian Joan Rivers was killed my a Muslim doctor’s “mistake.”

that’s not all accurate......

Gwen Korovin is a Jewish ear nose and throat

Lawrence Cohen was there as chief endoscopy to examine her vocal cords and acid reflux. Issues....Jewish obviously

Renuka Bankulla was the anesthesiologist and another female doc and who actually protested to Cohen who was in charge that Joan’s vocal cords were tightening up which could cause suffocation and Cohen said she was a worry wart in so many words....she is a Hindu Indian American registered republican

Cohen has the seniority and overruled Bankullas concerns....there’s your guilty party

“The Left is gearing up for a genocide.
Good luck disarming your victims first.”

Like little children, they cannot handle diversity of thought. So many liberals have expressed desires of genocide and people think the big story lies elsewhere in our pop-culture world.
