Barnard Prof. Sparks Outrage With Calls To ‘Gas,’ ‘Explode’ White People
OAN ^ | April 28, 2021 | OAN Newsroom

Barnard College of Columbia University in New York has come under fire after one of its professors spoke about “blowing up” and “gassing” white people in what he called a possible “race war.”

In his recent book, English & Film Studies Assistant Professor Ben Philippe wrote that he would gather “white people” for a meeting of “healing unity” and then stage an explosion as well as a chemical attack against them.

The author claimed, free speech allowed him to make such remarks.

“Actually fun fact, that section used to be so much longer, so, thank you to my editor for condensing it,” Phillipe said. “I went into this advanced world building of what that race war could look like. And they were just like, ‘no maybe just half a page.'”

Philippe went on to say, he was just “trying to take the state of the world to its logical conclusion.”

“If we all have to exist in this common land together and we can’t get along and we can’t heal, if it’s always gonna be: Us versus them — define the ‘us,’ [and] define the ‘them’ however you want,” Phillipe claimed. “Then, I was wrestling the question that: Isn’t the end result just all-out warfare? Like, ‘Game of Thrones’ style warfare?”

The English & Film Studies instructor added, the section was disturbing to write because he is “not a violent person” and he “loves all of” his white friends.

However, an excerpt from his book reads: “I’ll smile as we raise glasses to your good, white health while the detonator blinks under the table, knowing the exits are locked and the air vents fill with gas.”

Barnard College is now facing calls to hold Philippe accountable for unethical behavior, which includes his calls for racially motivated violence.

Whites IGNORE these plans at their own risk, no different than the Jews in the 1930s who thought that upstart Hitler was clown, as it could “Never happen here in Germany, the most cultured country in the world”.

Ever wonder how it felt to be Jewish in Germany in the early 30’s? They never saw it coming either. Can we call them fascists now?

[“blowing up” and “gassing” white people in what he called a possible “race war.” ]

And he might possibly learn the meaning of “outnumbered,” “outgunned,” “out-smarted” and “out-classed.” It would possibly be a very short learning curve.

All hypothetically, of course.

War gaming is such fun.

This kind of hatred is why the park rangers tell you not to feed bears.

It makes the bears see you as prey.

Anyone white person going to a “healing unity” meeting about race with radical race hustlers are mentally sick anyway. Or is he admitting colored people don’t appreciate being told how they need to live and what offends them by some white elite snobs?

Only white liberals would be lured to his house on the pretext of unity. So there’s that.

“I’m stealing this from another Freeper, I like it so much!”

Let everybody else like it too: Tell us what it means.

(How do you even search for the meaning of a specific emoji?)

Just imagine the outrage if someone white had written something like this about blacks.

Consider what would happen to a white Trump supporter who voiced similar sentiments about BLM supporters.

The Left wins because they enforce consequences for displeasing them.

He also needs some math and history classes.

"Looks like a real tough guy. Until runs up against a few Bandidos or Hells Angels."

The dirty little secret is that while he avoids those types, should his wishes come true, it's the seemingly quiet individual that has his number.
Case in point: Bernard Goetz.

Watched The Pianist again recently. Adrien Brody plays a piano player for a Warsaw radio station, it is about the loss of his family and his struggle to survive during the descent of the Jews over time in Warsaw by the Nazis. Great film.
