A tenured professor at New Jersey’s Rutgers University took self-loathing to a new level when he posted a profanity laden racist rant to Facebook declaring, “I hereby resign from my race.”
Professor James Livingston, who is white, was picking up a burger from a restaurant in Harlem, New York, when he was so affronted by the behavior of a group of “little Caucasian a**holes” that he felt the overwhelming need to take to social media and denounce his own race:
“OK, officially, I now hate white people,” Livingston began his post.
He continued to say the burger shop was “overrun with little Caucasian a–holes who know their parents will approve of anything they do.”
“Do what you want, nobody here is going to restrict your right to be white,” Livingston wrote.
He then added: “I hereby resign from my race. F— these people.”
Surprisingly, Facebook removed the post – but Livingston followed it up with another:
“I just don’t want little Caucasians overrunning my life, as they did last night,” he wrote in a post the following morning. “Please God, remand them to the suburbs, where they and their parents can colonize every restaurant, all the while pretending that the idiotic indulgence of their privilege signifies cosmopolitan–you know, as in sophisticated ‘European’–commitments.”
I’ll take social posturing via self-loathing for $100, Alex.
There is one reason and one reason only that Livingston decided to blame the children’s poor behavior on the color of their skin: he wanted to earn brownie points with his fellow SJWs. Instead of blaming the actual issue – poor parenting – he chalked it up to “white privilege” in effort to signal how incredibly woke he is – especially for a white person.
But unfortunately for Livingston, administrators at Rutgers didn’t feel the same. After looking into the posts, the university found him guilty of violating Rutgers’ Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and Harassment. Livingston subsequently appealed the ruling, but it was denied. A punishment has yet to be announced, but the policy allows for disciplinary action “up to and including discharge.”
Unsurprisingly, many people and organizations – including the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education – are taking up arms for Livingston. Just look at this tweet from PEN America:
Rutgers' response to Professor James Livingston's personal Facebook posts denouncing gentrification and whiteness reflects a wrong-headed approach that threatens free expression. Read our full statement here: https://t.co/xL2KLsCMfa pic.twitter.com/vH0P526BEZ

Yes, “denouncing whiteness” is protected speech under the First Amendment, and perhaps reprimanding Livingston is a “wrong-headed approach that threatens free expression.” But can you imagine the liberal outrage that would erupt if anyone was caught “denouncing blackness” on their personal Facebook page?
However, at least one other party agrees with Rutgers’ decision: the restaurant itself, which has banned Livingston from ever eating there again.
“Little Caucasians” poor behavior, overrunning his life...
I wonder if he’s ever been to a Walmart and viewed “little Negroids” in the toy sections, or for that matter anywhere in the store????
You didn’t resign, douchewad. You were fired.
Fire him!
Translation: he got into an argument that he probably started himself.
Whistling might actually be impaired by the absence of several teeth or a severed windpipe. And someone ought to share with him the thousands of extant videos of non-Caucasian a$$hole behavior. The professor clearly leads a sheltered existence.
Why was wuss-face in Harlem? Why was a restaurant in Harlem overrun with little Caucasian a–holes? The Caucasus is a region around the Black Sea. How did he know that the kids were from there? Was it their accent?
OHHHHH! you mean Caucasian, as in “the evil mean intolerant privileged people who are responsible for all the evils in the world?” the ones being exterminated in South Africa? You mean them?
This man has bought all the “whiteness” horse$hit that his university promotes. He believes it fervently. The only thing for him to do now is do what the left wants all Whites to do.
Any bets that if he were black there would be no repercussions?
Sounds like he resented the presence of white kids at a restaurant in Harlem. But if those white kids did not belong there, why did he?
Did he get the Sickle Cell?
That’s what the white boy gets when he starts monkeying around with his race.
If you created this guy as a character in a story or movie, you would never believe it, its just to exaggerated, too stupid. Life exceeds the hyperbole of art.
Let’s face it: College acts like a huge filter. The sane people graduate and go to the real world. The Libtards stay and become even crazier.
What did the Caucasian kids actually do? Seems the idiot professor just doesn’t like children to me.
Then you must have worked with my niece.......
How is this different from the racist Dr. Dolittle where the African guy begs to be white?
How is any of this stuff different from the Dr. Seuss story about the Sneetches?
Race as a concept is a joke. It’s as dumb and arbitrary as anything. We are all born pretty much the same. Into any number of conditions. It’s our character that counts.
Check my profile and you can get a general idea of where I might have worked.
One of the more interesting things about Merica’s society/culture is its constant demographic shifts. This guy doesn’t seem to appreciate our populations fluidity. If he thinks a certain area is mono-ethnic then it must remain so forever to his way of thinking.
I would not be surprised if he encountered brats. But he erred when he took out the broad brush and implied the sin was “whiteness” and not the bad parenting which infects all ethnic groups.
