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.

If a white male TA said the same about whites killing blacks, he would be fired.

some white people have died - over a million of them, just in one war to end slavery in the USA. While in Africa and 80% of the rest of the world, slavery still persists and oppression of white people, going back tens of thousands of years, has never ended.

Perhaps he could ask his non-black wife about that. Or his African-national parent.

Yeah sure. I’d pay 30k a year for my kid to go to this school.

Mitch McC pulled the plugged on South Africa as soon as he got to the Senate in 1985. He thought sure he could make South Africa “pluralistic.”

Yes, he has the right to free speech and should be able to ‘speak his mind’ and express his/their thoughts.

THAT SAID

Just flip the speaker to WHITE and the comment towards BLACKS (whether true or not) and the Associate or whatever would be unemployed.

That is where the farce of all this crap festers.

We panic if the ‘White’ speaker were a truck driver or construction worker and if his ‘forum’ were aired out etc BUT a ‘Non White’ can spew this crap hiding in the ‘intellectual’ world and it is cheered.

Obami Ossified Ping-Pong, Is teaching your children.
Know what they’re teaching your children. Keep them out of the so called “humanities”. Don’t send them away to school unless it’s a school steeped in a Conservative tradition.

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

I’d harbor ill will against the world too, if my last name was “Frimpong”.

I can’t decide if his parents named him after a table game...or a sex act.

When a conservative so much as says “I disagree with you,” they denounce it as hate speech. When a leftist says “I hate you and I’ll kill you,” they say it is just an opinion that should be protected.

While true in aggregate, it gives a false impression. They are still 10X more likely to kill a white person than vice versa. Black males 14-35 are the primary culprits, and are less than 4% of the population, Nevertheless, they commit 60.1% of all homicides in the US.
