Georgetown Professor Caught on Hidden Camera Calling Black Conservatives “Coons” & Saying He “Works With Stupid White People”
X ^ | 12/10/2025 | James O'Keefe

Jonathan Franklin, a current University adjunct professor & former NPR correspondent who built his career on issues of race, culture, & justice, was recorded making openly racist remarks during an undercover date with James O’Keefe.

Franklin, scheduled to teach a Georgetown course on interviewing & sourcing, labeled Black conservatives such as Candace Owens, Lawrence Jones, & Clarence Thomas as “coons,” & mocked his colleagues, saying he “works with stupid white people.”

During the confrontation, Franklin attempted to assault an OMG cameraman before fleeing.

Georgetown University records confirm Franklin is currently teaching students how to “interview sources effectively,” even as he privately uses racial slurs and expresses biases fundamentally incompatible with journalistic ethics.

I had a great experience in race relations in the 1970s offshore Louisiana on the drilling rigs. Blacks were first beginning to work offshore on the rigs. They just wanted a job as did I. It was hard dangerous work that paid well. They were able to get these jobs due to the civil rights act. They did their job and were my friends, and I was and am a right wing man. We all just wanted a good job. As mentioned, they were my friends by merit, actions, and work.

Dangerous things happen on an oilfield drilling rig. I would have risked my life to save them as they would have done for me. We were brothers of the oilfield.

That chase out of the restaurant scene followed by face plant pavement fall was hilarious!
Like somebody caught in the Twilight Zone with smiling Zombies slowly walking up to him.

I think you're right: "during an undercover date with James O’Keefe"

That’s a photo of Lawrence Jones - not the professor.

Jones is one of the people the professor called a slur.

Georgetown is the first Catholic and Jesuit university in the United States, founded by Jesuits, but it welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds, with a large non-Catholic population and a focus on diverse religious exploration and social justice.

Its Jesuit heritage emphasizes service, educating the whole person, and interfaith engagement, rather than strict religious conformity.


Key Aspects of Georgetown’s Catholic Identity:

Jesuit Tradition: Georgetown is run by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), incorporating their values into its educational mission.

While Catholic, it’s known for its diversity and openness, with many students from different religions or no religion.

Campus Ministry supports various faith communities, including Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Orthodox, and Dharmic traditions.

Focus on Values: The Jesuit identity promotes intellectual rigor, social justice, service, and global engagement alongside its Catholic roots.

In essence, Georgetown is a Catholic institution that actively embraces and fosters a diverse, multi-faith environment.

This will have zero effect on him, and will solidify his hero status among leftists.

Never be confused about who the most racist people are, projecting their own racist views on conservatives while supporting programs and laws that keep blacks on the plantation forever.
