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.
We’ll see who does the dying.
A lot of “white people” in South Africa either died, or were run off, now the “indigenous” people can’t even feed themselves.
They’re crying out to the world for food.
Better not kill the golden goose to satisfy just one hunger pang.
Take your best shot TA. I’m ready.
Let me guess: He votes Democrat every election
Happy to buy you a one way ticket to any country you want in Africa with $1k provided you don’t come back to the US again. This kind of person does nothing but stir up racial animosity where none previously existed
The Left is gearing up for a genocide.
Good luck disarming your victims first.

Pretty much describes ‘Criminal Justice Reform’, even if its supporters don’t want to admit it.
I know, right? It’s people just like this who make us buy more guns!
He looks like he is down for the “struggle” in his white college guy shirt.
“Take your best shot TA. I’m ready.”
The damage toxic people like this do is not because they have guns and shoot people. It’s because they use their job to do harm that can’t be spotted or fought. I knew a clerk in the county permitting office. He was annoyed by the New York lawyer working for his client who wanted water permits. He said to the clerk, “Come on, chop, chop!” The clerk told me he put the permit requests in his top drawer and they’d never get them. Several years later, the client had to sell the property because they couldn’t develop it. All done by a clerk with no “real” power. Now, imagine somebody like this TA processing your blood work or filling your prescription. It’s like that Palestinian-American surgeon who said she’d quietly kill Israelis and Jews. How would anybody know? Notice that comedian Joan Rivers was killed my a Muslim doctor’s “mistake.”
Fighting White people is a skill... concur, that’s why we’re privileged!!
Irami Osei-Frimpong....exotically diverse sounding name, progressives can let him slide on the racial hate.
They just can’t figure out how to function successfully in society. It must be whities’ fault. Uh no, it’s your own inabilities and shortcomings, and your own refusal to accept it.
I just hope you're out front.
I know me and all of my black friends wish him luck.
People like this need to be refuted and have their points verbally lambasted at each and every opportunity. You can't let hatred stand. To do so is to invite it to spread.
This is from his Twitter musings: "The US gov't doesn't tax the rich to pay for programs at the Federal level. The US gov't taxes the rich because inequality creates predatory conditions, which are a problem for freedom. At the federal level, taxing the rich is like banning steroids in sports."
So, we have all written to UGA’s President requesting that this dude be fired/expelled, right?

He could start with his white wife...
