A Drexel University professor who received death threats after posting several controversial tweets said Thursday he is resigning because the year-long harassment has made his situation "unsustainable."

George Ciccariello-Maher, a professor of politics and global studies, had been teaching his class remotely via video conference after being put on administrative leave, a move that Drexel said was for his own safety.

Notice how CNN and other liberal news sites spin this story: they make it look as though Ciccarello-Maher is the victim here, when he brought this on himself by saying "All I want for Christmas is white genocide."

CNN has sooooooo many ways to lie ... cnn sucks...

All I want for Christmas is white genocide.

Here's the death threat, in case anyone's wondering. It came from him.

I'm glad this professor told me what he thinks

Actually, it's worse.

He's now trying to skate by claiming satire, or rhetorical excess to make a point.

But when he was first called out, he issued this "clarification":

“To clarify: When the whites were massacred during the Haitian Revolution, that was a good thing indeed.”

For anyone not familiar with what he is talking about, here's a description of what this "professor" regards as a good thing.

One of my kids got a solicitation to apply to Drexel last January. I wrote back:

"Dear sirs:

One of my children received a solicitation to apply to Drexel University in the mail today.

It has come to my attention that Drexel University has elected to retain a faculty member whose Christmas wish this past year was for “white genocide”. While amplifying and attempting to temper his remarks, he is on record as praising the vicious slaughter of white mothers and children that took place in Haiti in 1804-05.

I don’t usually respond to advertisements, but, under these circumstances: If you think that I would allow a child of mine to apply to a university which would, under any circumstances retain a faculty member who would express these vile and disgusting opinions, inevitably creating a hostile environment for white students – well, you must be out of your mind.

Sincerely."

I think there's hope that the Left now feels empowered to double down on this type of rhetoric. A lot of whites still live sheltered lives (and they have arranged their lives this way). Send ten of your friends a link every time this comes up.

You’re not alone as long as I’m vertical and sucking O2.
