Every single white person alive today is "complicit" in slavery, according to Assistant Professor of Humanities Adam Kotsko, and should kill themselves. Dr. Kotsko teaches at Shimer College in Chicago.
According to Dr. Kotsko, if you are white, and even if your ancestors never owned slaves, you are still complicit for it. When asked what white people should do because of it, Kotsko said whites "should commit mass suicide:"
Kotsko defended his statements to other Twitter users who found his accusation ridiculous:
He then went on to say that "whiteness" exists only to "subordinate and exploit other races:"
Kotsko was in the news earlier this year for claiming that the writers of Charlie Hebdo should have expected to be horribly murdered because they tried to offend people:
I self-identify as a black lesbian so he ain’t talking to me. #NoWaysTired
Shimer .. Clymer .. waa laaa.. Kotsko..
Proceed to do yourself in, Prof.
If all of those concerned about CAGW would cease breathing, the “problem” would be solved.
More slaves in Central & South America than here. A lot more. But only whites were slavers, you’d think.
Better yet how do they get their “degree”. Probably 49.95 postage paid and “they is a perfesser all real n shiite”.
As penance he should be making yearly pilgrimages to Marion IL. to spend a week in the general population “tossing the salad”

So what happens with the interracial children, if they are 1/8th white, they have to kill themselves? is that the way it works.
maggots have filled your brain.
The African continent was completely inaccessible to outsiders.
If you think about it, there were deadly tropical diseases, language barriers, continual tribal warfare, no proper maps, no roads, hostile indigenous people... etc. All this was an insurmountable barrier to outsiders.
The slaves were collected inland by other African people (many Muslims) and trekked to the coast where ships were waiting.
The slave trade was THAT lucrative and though it does not absolve slave holders... but it OUGHT to explain HOW the trade began and became SO entrenched everywhere.
There's certainly lots of blame to go around.
It should be remembered that individuals in the West and governments of the Western powers initiated the abolitionist movement.
Muslims would continue the practice (still do) long after it was a crime everywhere else.
Has he been fired from his job?
what subject does this fool teach?
#19 We are an active and engaged community of equals.
I bet as soon as a student says something like we need to lower taxes and have less gov’t in our lives that the student will find themselves out the door!
” He’s just an attention whore.”
This should get him tenure : )
Too bad we have 10’s of thousands just as bad.
Stepping off the platform in front of a through train on the El ought to do the trick for the enlightened Professor, for a very minimal investment. And it can be done a virtually a moment’s notice. He could get it done today, if he so chooses.
Not just "advocating" - insisting... demanding self-genocide.

Self hating home is the first thing I thought when I saw his picture.
Yes, let’s urge Cher & Chaz, Caitlyn Jenner, Brian Williams, Clinton, Biden, Sanders, & a host of other whites to commit suicide, preferably by walking peacefully at night in any black neighborhood in America. Leading by example is only FAIR. Rich people are entitled to the front of the line, right?
As they are having the life kicked out of them I hope they will remember it is only because they are a white racist, that the people kicking them have justifiable grievances, & #BlackLivesMatter, white lives don’t.
I think it’s part of the “neo-antisemitism”.
They observe that the “whites”, ie, those who follow Western Civ’s value system, tend to prosper,
and rather than attribute that prosperity to the value system (and adopt it),
they prefer to attribute it to an exploitation of those who aren’t as prosperous.
Not all societies that had slaves are currently prosperous, so that IS NOT the common factor, obviously.
And they and the Arabs are still conducting it world wide.
It wasn’t white people who invaded Africa and started the slave trade, it had already been going on for a long time with one tribe invading and enslaving another.
When they found out that they could get something (anything) of value from selling their captured slaves to another party they gleefully engaged in the slave trade.
Perhaps all the black people should kill themselves because their ancestors and offspring are still engaging slavery and have a records magnitudes of evil much worse than the white population.
This sounds very much like a typical brain washed liberal professor who believes all the trash he has been taught and is nor teaching it himself.
There is an old saying that if one tells a lie often enough he will then believe it as true even if he knew it was a lie and he started spreading it himself.
The bible likens this to one who by repetition so hardened their own conscience they they became unable to distinguish the truth.
