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 regret that the hashtag that I quoted from the title of an article was misinterpreted and mis-perceived

"I regret" = "Sorry that you caught me"

"misinterpreted and mis-perceived" = "You don't understand how brilliant I am"

Scumball.

These are the people brainwashing white kids to hate themselves and western civilization, the same kids who graduate and brag how educated they are compared to dumb “red neck” conservatives. They graduate brainwashed and ignorant.

Trinity College owns this.

They hired him.

They made him a tenured professor.

They created an atmosphere where anti-white racism was acceptable.

If the prof was white writing about black people he would already be fired and the university would be apologizing for his actions to the mass media.

Hopefully white parents are getting the message—remove your kids from Trinity for next year.

I see that the college used to be run by the Episcopals, but has shed that past since 1968.

Today it is nothing more than a liberal arts Leftist training ground with an expensive $50K-a-year freight bill.

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?

We don't have to be "mean and nasty" — we have to stop soft-pedaling the truth. Of course, that's what the left calls being "mean and nasty."

The rhetoric which the professor has been venting into the atmosphere is what should have the "mean and nasty" label.

The left have used their near-monopoly of the culture to switch all the labels. In so doing, they have made the speaking of unpleasant truth a vice, and their own bitter calumniations have been made virtuous.

And thus the left has muzzled its opponents with their own consciences. Meanwhile, they themselves are excused from the charge because their own consciences approve lying and hypocrisy in the service of leftist utopia.

After all, how totally Alinsky is that?

Quite “masterful” at making himself the victim. Say some radically outrageous stuff then scream to the world how the horrible violent white people are making you cower in fear.

“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...”

If that were the case, he would have said such. Instead, he said “Kill whitey.”

I’m black and an academic. I know exactly what this POS meant and he should lose his job.

Not surprised he took it down. Rather unpopular—several called him a racist.
