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.
I know I’m a teen, but this TA is hateful. What would happen if that TA was Caucasian and said ‘Blacks must die’?
I don’t think the media would ignore it, like they are with this jackass.
I recommend the Congo.
I saw a picture of his wife. She looks like a self loathing white female.
What we have here is a failure to communicate...
What does his wife say about his racist rant and calls for murder?
Does he honestly love her or does he hatef... her?
Do they live together or is it like Barack Hussein Obama’s conception and his bigamist father’s sham marriage to Stanley?
I take that as a threat to my life. You best not come around here, boy. And UGA, I know you are still feeling bad about getting the ever loving shit kicked out of you by Auburn, but would you allow this kind of talk if the roles were reversed and a white person was threatening coloreds? I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t.
Osei-Frimpong?
W.C. Fields couldn’t come up with a more ridiculous name.
‘White conservative Christians, however, as in the 1800’s period of emancipation, are blacks’ true freedom partner. To suggest otherwise is ahistorical and dangerously naive.’
over generalization...plenty of pro slavery Christians touted biblical commentary about slaves in order to justify their support of the practice...
Question for ya there Bongo, what do you do when an Abrahms tank is parked in your hood? Rap at it? lol
‘And UGA, I know you are still feeling bad about getting the ever loving shit kicked out of you by Auburn’
if you’re referring to 2018 football, Georgia beat Auburn 27-10...they lost embarrassingly to Texas 28-21 in the bowl game...
“Racism, we are not cured of, clearly. And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘nigger’ in public.

I’d wager my 15 yr old cousin (female) spends more time burning powder in her free time than this jackass does. She’s a little savage prodigy lol. I got her hooked on cranking out push-ups between strings for the reality factor. Smart kid.
God bless America (and Texas, my beloved adopted home)
I overheard a black fourth-grader tell his white classmate “there’s going to be a war” between the races—something he’d obviously heard at home. I wanted to tell him, “I hope not, because you’ll be dead”. Can’t these race haters count?
Nor will they.
A student of Charlie Manson?
Helter Skelter anyone?

At least once.
All of my black friends hate communism, racial strife, love God and our blessed gift of liberty and own guns that they’re willing to discharge in defense of the same.
May Almighty God bless and keep them all.
