A Drexel University professor who asked for “White Genocide” for Christmas last year is finally resigning. George Ciccariello-Maher, now a former professor from Drexel, has a history of controversial tweets targeting conservatives and white people.
“All I want for Christmas is White Genocide,” he tweeted, followed up by, “To clarify: When the whites were massacred during the Haitian Revolution, that was a good thing indeed.”
In addition to targeting white people and conservatives, Ciccariello-Maher has also made controversial posts about soldiers.
Ciccariello-Maher even went as far as blaming the “white supremacist patriarchy” for the Las Vegas shooting, going on to say that shootings are caused by white people and men who “don’t get what they want.”
Incredibly, Drexel University’s decision to put the professor on leave for the safety of their students was met with protests.
On Thursday, Ciccariello-Maher announced on Facebook that he would be resigning from his position at Drexel University after Dec. 31, 2017. Although Ciccariello-Maher has been on leave since last October, he is now resigning due to what he describes as harassment and death threats from “right-wing, white supremacist media outlets and internet mobs.”
Ciccariello-Maher compared himself to Marxist psychiatrist Frantz Fanon who fought colonization and was an inspiration for both Che Guevara and Malcolm X. Ciccariello-Maher is so committed to this analogy that he went on to write about how he was fighting “the same racist social structures.”
The soon-to-be-retired professor went on to claim that we are “at war” and that academia is on the “crucial front” of that war. Then, Ciccariello-Maher accused the Right wing of “targeting” campuses.
“This is why the Right is targeting campuses with thinly veiled provocations disguised as free speech. My case and many others show just how cynical such appeals are, and how little the Right cares about academic freedom,” he wrote in part.
Ciccariello-Maher then called on tenured professors to “defend” against “the Right and white supremacists,” claiming that white supremacists have “tasted blood” and want more.
Finally, in his resignation announcement, Ciccariello-Maher promoted "antifa," saying that there should be more development of the “Campus Antifascist Network,” a group that many consider the college arm of antifa.
The ex-professor concluded his rant by saying that we should make college campuses “unsafe spaces for white supremacists,” and that aggression from the “racist right” is sparking an “impending global catastrophe.”
While Drexel University originally called the professor’s tweets “utterly reprehensible” in their original statement, Drexel is now praising Ciccariello-Maher. Drexel released a statement saying that the school “recognizes the significant scholarly contributions” of Ciccariello-Maher in the field of “political thought.”

He’d fit right in at Berkeley, heck, maybe even Penn. Smug looking, little creep, isn’t he?
Let the “white genocide” begin with this charlatan of a teacher, with this cruel, cruel man, with this race-baiting pimp!
Was he requesting suicide by genocide? He is white so how could he be certain that if the “white genocide” he was promoting wouldn’t begin with him as its first victim? He is a poster boy proving that liberalism is a serious mental disorder.
so-called “academics” are often the most rigid, ideological and bureaucratic people you will ever meet.
It seems a paradox, but the times have given it proof.
“He is white so how could he be certain that if the “white genocide” he was promoting wouldn’t begin with him as its first victim?”
—
I would prefer that his father and mother be the first victims-——so maybe he could see how ridiculous this entire thing is.
He has some serious mental issue IMHO.
.
Good Riddance.....
My, how his vagina must ache.
Professor has become a cheap title these days.
I clicked on a story about this guy resigning under a cloud of death threats, worrying and wondering what could precipitate such a thing, only to run into his statement calling for “genocide.” I’ve got to say, this man should not be teaching, and frankly I wouldn’t trust him getting anywhere near the food service industry. Drexel is well rid of him. It’s only a shame that they have kowtowed by talking of how “important” what he said was. Hello, it was very unambiguous hate speech. It wasn’t even sneaky hate speech. There were no “dog whistles” or interpretations needed. Genocide is pretty much what it sounds like, and there are no other connotations that do not mean the murder of all individuals in a given racial or ethnic group based upon their membership in that group.
Hmmmmm. So he’s a Nazi and a hunter. Both very unpopular groups these days.
This dork would be the first one I would throw off the wagon to lighten the load.
Next would be the two mental midgets from California (where else?) who recently stated that if you shopped at a farmers market you were promulgating ‘whiteness’.
The absolute stupidity of the left prominently displayed and totally enforcing the statement “liberalism is a mental disorder”.
Wow. He has a VERY high opinion of himself.
These are the sort of people in Sweden who need to be shot down with high powered rifles at a distance. They are a graver threat than the barbaric hordes, for it is such as these that have enabled the barbaric hordes to come into their civilization.
This guy needed to go even before this. He has the worst rating I have ever seen for a professor on ratemyprofessor.com
But the guy looks white. Is he? Crazy.
It seems a paradox, but the times have given it proof.
Credentialed, not educated.
On second thought, why didn’t the University fire him?!
