A University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill professor suggested that government officials have "deputized" whites to murder blacks in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
UNC-Chapel Hill associate professor Tressie McMillan Cottom tweeted that "They have deputized all white people to murder us," referring to Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who allegedly shot and killed two men who were chasing him in Kenosha. Cottom is black. The men shot by Rittenhouse, however, were both white.
Cottom's comments came in response to a CNN segment in which commentator Dana Bash asked Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wisc.) if he condemned Rittenhouse. Johnson said the shooting was "a tragedy" but did not comment on the pending litigation against the gunman.
"Listen, I don't want to see anybody lose their life," Johnson said. "I don't want to see the violence continue. I don't want to see businesses burn down. I don't want to see economic destruction. I condemn it all."
The University of North Carolina said it had no comment. Cottom did not respond to requests for comment.

Why do people support universities like this?
The men shot by Rittenhouse were white and were trying to kill him. They must have thought that he was black.
The gameplan is clear. Blame Trump and all white conservatives for the destruction and death caused by Antifa and BLM. Sadly, some in this country will believe it, or at least think removing Trump will stop the riots. We truly have far too many people who have no business being near a ballot.
Another educated idiot.
All three shot by Rittenhouse were white and had long criminal records.
That’s what Soros stocks his “rent a riot” forces with.
The two people killed in Kenosha were white.
There needs to be quote marks around “educated”...
Um, I might be mistaken but the people shot by Kyle Rittenhouse were all white, correct?i know for sure 2 out of 3 were, just not 100% sure on the last one.
She obviously doesn’t miss many meals. With her food stamps she probably buys plenty of prime rib...and grits.

This reminds me very much of what happened in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Nazi officials said the most outlandish untruths about the Jews. And those lies were believed.
As Joseph Goebbels said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
These people will reap the whirlwind.
Outside of the hard sciences the university is worthless. Time to start focusing the spotlight on them.
A ‘sociologist’. I thought she might be a physicist of electrical engineer.
Maybe they should test the reciprocal clause and start in Chapel Hill.
Why wasn’t she immediately fired?
