A University of Georgia (UGA) teaching assistant wrote Wednesday on Facebook that “some white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole in this struggle to advance to freedom." He added that to suggest otherwise is “ahistorical and dangerously naive.”
UGA philosophy TA Irami Osei-Frimpong made the comment during a conversation on the Overheard at UGA Facebook page. The comment has since been deleted. Osei-Frimpong claimed in May 2017 that Facebooksuspended him for quoting from an article which detailed how Texas A&M professor Tommy Curry had said “in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die.”
"Fighting white people is a skill" Tweet This “Killing some white people isn’t genocide; it’s killing some white people,” the UGA TA explained in a Medium post. “We had to kill some white people to get out of slavery. Maybe if we’d killed more during the 20th century we still wouldn’t talk about racialized voter disenfranchisement and housing, education, and employment discrimination. This should not be controversial.”
Osei-Frimpong’s Wednesday comment, seemingly inspired by Curry, is far from the first racially-charged remark made by the scholar.
“Fighting white people is a skill,” the UGA TA tweeted on Jan. 12, adding that it is why he supports integrated schools. “You have to get used to fighting White people. It takes practice.”
He then quoted American clinical psychologist Bobby Wright, saying, “Blacks kill Blacks because they have never been trained to kill Whites.”
Last semester, at a Young Democrats meeting, Frimpong compared Southern whites in America to “sociopaths” and “autistic kids.” Later on, in November, he called for Democrats to “wage war on the white electorate” and wrote that white “institutions” that “make crappy white people” such as churches, schools, and families must be “dismantled.” Facebook subsequently gave Osei-Frimpong a temporary suspension.
Despite the TA’s history with controversial racial rhetoric, UGA has chosen not to take any action.
Regarding his latest comments, a spokesperson at UGA’s Equal Opportunities Office said in an email obtained by Campus Reform that Osei-Frimpong’s views expressed his “personal opinion,” in his “personal capacity,” on a private platform.
The spokesperson also asked the recipient of the email to contact their office if any information was discovered that showed Osei-Frimpong made “discriminatory or harassing comments” in his capacity as a member of the UGA community.
Some of Osei-Frimpong’s UGA colleagues have gone as far to defend his previous comments about white Americans. UGA Associate Professor of Brain and Behavioral Science Dr. Janet Frick once tweeted that the TA’s comments were not hate speech, but rather “hurt your feelings speech.”
Campus Reform reached out to Osei-Frimpong for further comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
I personally knew 2 blacks with the name Osei that were both from Ghana (Africa). They were not related, as far as I know.
So, I am only guessing.. but I suppose that this individual was not actually born in the states?
I’m still waiting for the “honest discussion on race” with Eric the Red.
So I’VE thinks that, since it’s just his “personal opinion”, that it’s ok.
Anybody care to speculate about their reaction to a mirror image comment by a white TA?
Is this not a hate crime? Why is he not fired and charged?
Idiot,
“in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die.”
I can’t possibly express how happy I am that a cohort of our Founders thought importing Stone Age savages into this country, and denying them access to assimilation, in order to not have to pay migrant workers was such a peachy keen idea...
“...some white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole in this struggle to advance to freedom.” He (Irami) added that to suggest otherwise is “ahistorical and dangerously naive.”
True, reagarding white Democrat party leaders.
White conservative Christians, however, as in the 1800’s period of emancipation, are blacks’ true freedom partner. To suggest otherwise is ahistorical and dangerously naive.
Is it racist if we limit the deaths to democrats? I’ve always thought Socialism to be a genetic flaw, along the lines of an inability to do math...
Damn straight.
Exactly. He should be careful what he wishes for, he just might get it. Even more importantly, he should be careful what he starts. He has obviously bought into the leftist propaganda that US society is wildly racist. Is there racism in the US? Sure, and ironically enough, the most significant racism in terms of pervasiveness and insidiousness comes from the leftists. But there is nowhere near the racism on the right as we are accused of promoting. If we acted with even a fraction of the racism we are routinely accused of there would be blood in the streets. People would be emptying AR mags into ANTIFA protests. But we’re not, yet. However, if fools like this guy had their way and started something... Lots of non-racist, reasonable people would take matters into their own hands to defend themselves and their communities. It wouldn’t be racially motivated (just self defense), but it would sure look like a race war due to the other side’s choice of targeting us.
You owe a debt to white men that you literally cannot understand because of your hateful ideology.
I emailed. Will call later. Shared with my georgia friends
Reverse the colors and this would be called hate speech and the racist would be in jail.
Have no fear, bastard. Whitey is dying off and not being replaced but millions of bearded savages are busy impregnating their “wives” instead of going out to work.
Who believes white students get a fair shake in his class
When the “White People” ran Rhodesia, it was the breadbasket of Africa.
Now that the “White People” have been run off and their once-productive farms have been given to the indigenous people, starvation is the norm.
If the “White People” would leave and block the Chinese, Africa would devolve to what it once was, before “Colonialism”.
How ‘bout dem bulldogs!
Note to UGA philosophy TA Irami Osei-Frimpong:
Iam your Huckleberry.
I can’t imagine what its like to be that brainwashed and stupid.
The husk is there but the corn cobs gone.
Yeah?
Well I’m not going out without one Hell of a fight, teach.
Just another weird made-up name, like Beezow Doo-Doo Zoppity Bop-Bop. At least Mr. Bop-Bop has a little Zappa thang going on. Osei-Frimpong is just an illiterate attempt to sound exotic and diverse. Bet his actual name is totally mundane. Hiding a criminal record, maybe?
