Trinity Professor Flees Campus After Threats Over Facebook Comments... [White people inhuman]
Hartford Courant ^ | 6/23/17 | Kathleen Megen

Posted on 06/23/2017 4:49:12 AM PDT by markomalley

Trinity College Professor Johnny Eric Williams Thursday issued a public apology and said he was in hiding far from Connecticut as the campus reopened amid a furor over his recent controversial Facebook posts.

Williams said his posts were not a call for violence against white people, as some claimed when the posts spread across social media. Some of his colleagues spoke out in support of Williams, who fled Hartford after receiving death threats.

The controversial pair of Facebook posts included an inflammatory and profane hashtag — "Let Them [expletive] Die" — that was widely shared on social and conservative media, leading to the threats against Williams and calls for him to be fired.

"It was overwhelming for my family," Williams said. "I have to look out for my family. I've got young kids."

I hope this hateful bastard loses his job and gets one doing what he is fit to do: washing dishes.

He got his job for being non-White, since colleges are in the same business as the democrats: eliminating Whitey, after taking all his money.

Hey “professor”: words have consequences. Quite a shocking lesson, eh?

I've got young kids.

And he's such a great example to them.

White parents who send their children to Trinity, a college that pays this racist to abuse Whites in his classes, should not be surprised when their children become self-hating Leftists.

Tucker Carlson said that he attended Trinity 20 years ago and it has changed into an anti-American indoctrination center since Leftists have taken it over.

What insane parent would send a child to an institution staffed with vile creatures such as this “professor”? And pay $52,000 tuition (and $14,000 room and board) for the privilege?

‘In hiding far from Connecticut.’

Bull.

If we know one thing about leftists it’s that their arms never quite reach their own pockets. They are as tight with their own dollars as they are profligate with others’.

In order to be ‘far from Connecticut’ this racist coward would have to spend quite a bit of cash on travel and lodging. He’s in one of the most expensive regions of the nation as well.

Unless he’s in hiding far from home (doubtful) he’s spending a lot of money to do so. In other words, he’s home or at a neighbor’s...he’s just not answering his phone.

Johnny Eric Williams

Also on Thursday, Trinity College's chapter of the American Association of University Professors issued a statement that "it is evidently clear to us that Johnny is not calling for violence against any person, but rather using social media as a platform to engage, discuss and debate his critique of structure of racist oppression in America."

The statement said it is "important to remember that there is currently an organized effort to intimidate academics and especially those who speak out about issues of race and white supremacy, as Johnny did. ... We should not entertain the positions of those who ... seek to target, distort, intimidate, and punish an individual based on a (mis)reading of a few posts."

Referring to the online publication that appeared to misconstrue Williams' posts, the professors' statement said "Campus Reform, which helped propagate the hit on Johnny, is one institution we cannot let define what constitutes academic freedom, speech and scholarship.

"We call on President Berger-Sweeney and Dean [Timothy] Cresswell to vigorously uphold the principles of academic freedom."

Won’t they be surprised when whites are all gone, they’ve taken all our money, and they find out that money doesn’t breed the same way as ghetto baby mammas and daddies do? There are lessons of that fact all around them-South Africa, Haiti, Detroit-but they’re too stupid and undeservedly arrogant to learn it.

“...was misinterpreted and mis-perceived...”

...and, taken out of context, and twisted by white supremacist in collusion with Russia and the Georgians (which is next to Russia).

Effing lying Amish pig, they always claim, "That's not what I meant when I said, 'Kill Whitey wherever you find him.'"

Just wanted to address white privilege?

This asshole is the face of the Black KKK, spreading the lie of white privilege in order to fan the flames of racial conflict.

He had a great job, a nice home, a healthy family, but NOOOO! That wasn't near enough, was it you filthy trash-flinging Scumbag??!!

This rancid, un-American, lying turd-pile is going down hard. He's finished, and I hope his family starves.

Enjoy your just deserts. You're all washed up, you ignorant stink pad.

So do many of the whites to whom he wished death, and they love their kids just as much. Does he think he’s the only person in the world with kids that matter to them?

Good point, what are his options if he wants to be “far away”? That rules out the Northeast. He has too much money to live in the ghetto with those he ‘identifies’ with. Pretty much leaves California and maybe Seattle.

...and that’s too far for a liberal to stray. For example, his plane could develop engine problems over Kansas on the way there. Then what...might as well drop him into Russia where he’ll be rounded up and sent to Putin’s (non-existent) gulags, as far as he thinks.

"...I am sorry," said Williams, who has retained a lawyer. "I regret that the hashtag that I quoted from the title of an article was misinterpreted and mis-perceived as inciting violence and calling for the death of 'white' people. "I never intended to invite or incite violence. My only aim was to bring awareness to white supremacy and to inspire others to address these kinds of injustices..."

Good. I hope the racist POS is hiding in some remote area and never darkens the day with his face again. I feel sorry for his kids he has damaged, since I have no doubt he has infused them will with his racist points of view. They don't know any better and can't control what he pours into their heads, but he has plenty of control over it.

Scum.

I leep asking that question and making that point, but people keep paying out the nose and going into eternal hock to send their children where they will taught nothing so much as how to hate themselves and/or their parents, if they’re white. All the while paying for the kids to learn it, and subsidising other kids to learn to hate whites. The left has certainly got a racket going there.

The left is already covering up for him. They have already forgiven him and will soon move to blaming Whitey for what this pos said and did.

If Whitey says or does anything, he is automatically racist.

This pos will go back to his job and the college will increase punishment for Whites who complain.

We can best believe that any white person who said exactly the same thing about non-whites would be facing a metaphorical lynching, if not a literal one. We are always having our words and thoughts “parsed” by “black splaining”.
