Professor behind 'white genocide' tweet says he has university support

A Drexel University professor, whose tweet that he wanted "white genocide" for Christmas sparked a firestorm of criticism from the school and social media, said on Tuesday that administrators supported his right to take part in political debate.

George Ciccariello-Maher, a white associate professor of history and politics at the Philadelphia university, has said his Christmas Eve posting of "All I Want for Christmas is White Genocide" on Twitter was aimed at poking fun at white supremacists.

He is an expert on Latin American social movements with about 10,000 Twitter followers.

But his attempt at satire triggered a backlash from conservative websites, with some online comments calling for him to be fired or commit suicide. Drexel on Sunday called his tweet "utterly reprehensible" and said it would meet with him to discuss it....

If you look at the number of failed & bloody communist/socialist states that have existed since 1918.

Having on staff in your political science or economics department someone who is a communist or wishes to interpret the world through those goggles is like having an astrologer in your physics department, numerologist in your math department or a phrenologist in the psychiatric department of your medical school. If a school president is at all interested in academic quality its not just the quality of the students you admit its also the quality of what you offer.

I read that in Venezuela people have begun the take the law into their own hands because the socialist government would not enforce the laws. Perhaps we shall see that here. Perhaps not.

“Try to imagine someone “joking” about any other type of genocide.”

It’s OK, it’s just white people, we’re just servants and cash cows.

Thanks for making my continued point that we need to dismantle the entire university system and start over.

"We need to ..." is liberal talk, along with "They shouldn't be allowed to ..." etc.

We need to move away from that :-)

A professor like him discredits the entire university.

If he has support on campus are those who support him going to have a Jim Jones Kool-Aid party?

The university obviously will not fire him. It agrees with him.

Typical bully behavior.

Get caught red handed doing something and then claim that you were *just joking*, and laugh it off.

It then turns it all back on the people who exposed you to make them look like the bad guys cause they *just can’t take a joke*, or whatever lame excuse, aka lie, you come up with.

That way, the bully exonerates himself with a clear conscience and people who don’t know that they are being manipulated, back down cause they think that maybe he’s right and they don’t want to look bad.

The guy was wrong, it was no joke, and he should have been fired on the spot.

No, it is not. It is English, and often used by everyone.

The longer the inequity of Hate Laws run, the severity of the inevitable response intensifies.

I have no use for Hate Law. It is fundamentally opposed to both judicial objectivity and the 1st Amendment. But for as long as it’s on the books, it must be applied evenly — the depraved professor must be charged as a criminal.

Are there any “safe spaces” from this a-hole at Drexel? Doesn’t sound like it.

I bet he does. I’m sure someone calling for black genocide would be treated equally by Drexel.

...”Try to imagine someone “joking” about any other type of genocide.”...

He wasn’t joking. He knows that everything starts with an idea and he, like so many bold leftists thought his idea would be endorsed as cute and clever by others haters like himself. Ideas catch on and, in addition, who, among us does not know that the idea of genocide of whites is in the minds of all the haters of the white race? That is their ultimate goal, for hatred cannot win any other way. History is littered with the extermination of groups the dictators see as standing in the way of their absolute power and this struggle in the history of our nation is no different. Make no mistake. It has been as plain as the nose on our faces since the haters took the racism from their own hearts and minds and pasted it onto the group it wants gone. This is a war, folks, and for the sake of a civilized society, we must not let cruelty dominate. These professors must be fired for each and every act like these and they must never teach again.

...”Typical bully behavior.”...

No, this is not just typical bully behavior. This is the dream in his heart and he knows the time is not yet right to see it come to fruition. He thinks he can say it because he is academia and, therefore, can say whatever he wants. However, millions of Americans are awake now and can recognize the destructive parallels between the left in this nation and the destroyers of other nations from the past. The left needs to read and inform themselves as to the fate of all tyrannical leaders who have ever lived. Most did not fare so well and their hate and fate will be no different on the off chance that they succeed with their goals for white people in 2016. I believe we are in for some really nasty behavior as the war against civilization ramps up once Trump takes office. I hope I am wrong.

We could begin with his suicide, if he means what he said. Be the first contributor.
