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."

Bill Clinton spent eight years teaching DC that they could steal as much taxpayer money as they could get their hands on and never suffer for the deed. The country didn’t push back. Obama tried to spend eight years teaching that you could persecute whitey and nothing bad would happen. Those eight years are over and it’s push back time.

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

And if a white professor had said that about blacks, this guy would be leading the lynch mob. So cry me a river.

The weather is steamy in Havana at this time of year. I hope his place has air conditioning.

Speaking hate and violence. That’s what liberals do.

Hope this guy is fired.

Well, apparently these learned men/women (just to be gender neutral) can not read nor think.

This situation should be a life lesson for him and his kids (and others if they are paying attention).

You put yourself in danger when you let your emotions rule.

I may be in big trouble here, but I'm beginning to think he is on to something here.

For a professor, he's pretty stupid. I feel sorry for his kids.

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."

Ahhh, that's the problem.
Superior mental giants such as yourselves interpret his statements one way, but what about us poor schlubs out here in the real world?

Sounds like Johnny is condoning any violent acts that may be perpetrated against whites, at the very least.

"...That is part of the legacy of The Community Organizer. "

What most bugs me about the tragic Obama experiment/fiasco is how brazen he was about his prejudice and hatred for virtually every deeply-rooted American ideal. He told the fools he was going to reconfigure America, and they voted him in anyway!

I was sure it was over for this country, and it would have been had God not stepped in.

Maybe times are changing. A few years ago honky would simply hold his head down and try to be invisible, which is why we're in this mess in the first place.

Dare I hope that us white Christians have realized we're on the verge of extinction unless we get just as mean and nasty as our enemies?
