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.
How he was/is employed by Rutgers is truly impossible to understand.
The Negroes don’t want him, either.
This ass wipe should take a stroll down Martin Luther King Blvd. some late evening. Stop in the local watering hole and have a drink with the natives.
IF he survives, I’ll guaran-damn-tee you he will be whistling a different tune.
Didn't Dave Chapelle do a skit called something like "Racial Draft"? I recall that it was pretty funny.
I'll bet the Asians don't want him either. I've read that the worst insult in China right now is "baizuo" which means "White Liberal."
The only people who can be this stupid are those who have been insulated from reality. Gated communities and well to do upbringing tends to make people into this sort of imbecile.
I worked in the ER of a major,"inner city",hospital for years.Worked all three shifts and as you can probably imagine the evening and the night shifts got the most "action".
My experience there showed me,time after time,that no race/gender/ethnicity,etc suffers from a shortage of "a**holes".In my workplace a good percentage of them arrived at our door dead or dying.I'm sure that you can imagine some of the causes.
“IF he survives, I’ll guaran-damn-tee you he will be whistling a different tune.”

It actually makes all the sense in the world. Rutgers University is one of the ONLY places where a misfit like this could be gainfully employed.
Blaming bad behavior on race. That’s racism.
“He continued to say the burger shop was “overrun with little Caucasian a–holes who know their parents will approve of anything they do.”
Has he and his boyfriend adopted any white kids?
He already hated white people and used the bad behavior of a few kids to trigger him into going on a rant. Pathetic.
He now hates White people. Sounds like Rutgers will promote him to Chancellor.
“Rutgers University is one of the ONLY places where a misfit like this could be gainfully employed.”
All the institutes of higher brainwashing are loaded with pukes like this.
In Louisiana when a white person is trying to get the same government benefits that blacks get, the white person’s friends say, “Get you some shoe polish.”
FIRE is supporting him?
And whistling from a different place.
This was once a very fine school. Sad.
