Dude looks hispanic and his last name is woman in Spanish. But according to the FBI, hispanics are white. It's so confusing.

Anyway this man's tweet history suggests otherwise.? He is known for extreme tweets used in a contextual, sarcastic manner to make a point.

Appears to be a troll tweet and as evidence by this thread, it's quite effective
He followed his tweet by saying the massacre of whites in Haiti was a good thing. For whites in Haiti during that time, that massacre was definitely a genocide given the context and isolation of that island.

He didn't mean it. He was just laying subtext.

Never made that claim.

No he's not. That's his excuse to get away with such statements. If you bothered to read any of his statements, his other tweets, or academic papers, you would know this. I have. You clearly have not. Plus, he has his own website and you won't find this "satire" there. If it's such a prominent tool, why would he restrict it to twitter only? We both know the answer: because he's a liar and it's not satire.
For example he claims 'white genocide' is an imaginary concept. It's not an imaginary concept. He may not like the group that discusses it more than others, but the concept is there whether he likes it or not. He knows that but he refuses to acknowledge that because it doesn't leave him the avenue to excuse his behavior. Further, he won't acknowledge that even the UN's definition of genocide comports with policies and policy statements one can easily locate around the globe, that can be seen to directly attach to 'whites'.
His defense is full of holes and riddled with logical inadequacies, as well as paranoia.
He stepped in it, he knows it, and knows he may get fired and is now trying play the victim and make up a bunch of bs to excuse his behavior. He's already trotted out how unfair this treatment is for untenured faculty and so forth, crying crocodile tears trying to be the victim.
I'm guessing Drexel is on winter break. Mark my words - when they return to class, students will come forward to relate stories of his bias and intolerance.

It's a conspiracy theory supported by white nationalists and other white racists

I am afraid that would be you, as evidenced by your inability to understand meaning attached to posts and tweets. In other words, you're thinking is literal, concrete, and devoid of understanding the abstract.

I have. He must have verified you as a follower fairly quickly for you to be able to read his tweets

Crazy how he can make this tweet, say it was satirical, and that's good enough for some people.
Meanwhile, Justine Sacco's entire life continues to be ruined over a tweet that was blatantly sarcastic and satirical to just about everyone who read it, except the crowd who gets to be professionally offended.

I understand perfectly. It appears Drexel does as well and that's why his arse is in a sling right now.
This reason I said you're dumb as a box of rocks is precisely due to understanding abstract concepts. You don't even understand what I'm referring to, or the difference between evidence, and proof.

He pissed off a lot of people, even those that were verified. They grabbed his tweets and put them out there.
I'd tell you to come back after reading Hegel, Kant, Popper, and addressing this shithead's ideas in terms of dialectics, and parsing out the universal from the particular, which will demonstrate some of the lies he's now telling. But, I don't think you can even pronounce dialectics.
I now see why others on the site consider you to be an ignorant racist. Go peddle your race baiting, pathetic attitude somewhere else. I've already figured you out.

Yes, the conspiracy theory is a real thing, as in a real conspiracy theory. He said "It is a figment of the racist imagination, it should be mocked, and I'm glad to have mocked it" meaning that it's a damn conspiracy theory that does not hold water. But you quoted him incorrectly when you stated:
quote:
For example he claims 'white genocide' is an imaginary concept. It's not an imaginary concept.
You misquoted him without understanding the meaning of what he posted, which again means the conspiracy theory is absurd, imaginary,as it is does not hold water.
Come on. Do you really think that mass immigration, integration, miscegenation, low fertility rates and abortion are being promoted in predominantly white countries to deliberately turn them minority-white and hence cause white people to become extinct through forced assimilation? He does not either and thinks it's absurd, as in a "figment of the racist imagination"

Yep, that was definitely the point I was trying ty make. Thank you for clarifying.

He should have realized that people are too dumb-- or pretend to be when it suits them-- to get his point.
It goes both ways.
He's another version of the poor bastard who got fired for using the word niggardly. Perfectly good word, or it used to be, until people got so damned stupid they couldn't bother to even look it up before overreacting, and then refused to back down when their stupidity was pointed out.

I'm sure some people believe that. But some people believe in lizard people.
Defending your racism and bigotry by deflecting to some fringe belief is idiotic. That alone is enough to be fired in my opinion.

On January 15, 1999, David Howard, an aide to Anthony A. Williams, the mayor of Washington, D.C., used "****ardly" in reference to a budget.[3] This apparently upset one of his black colleagues (Howard is white), identified by Howard as Marshall Brown, who misinterpreted it as a racial slur and lodged a complaint. As a result, on January 25, Howard tendered his resignation, and Williams accepted it.[4] However, after public pressure, an internal review into the matter was brought about, and the mayor offered Howard the chance to return to his position as Office of the Public Advocate on February 4. Howard refused but accepted another position with the mayor instead.
Julian Bond, then chairman of the NAACP, deplored the offense that had been taken at Howard's use of the word. "You hate to think you have to censor your language to meet other people's lack of understanding", he said. "David Howard should not have quit. Mayor Williams should bring him back—and order dictionaries issued to all staff who need them
Other controersies due to the public's stupidity, just as is the case here.
This one is particularly funny
quote:
In 1995, years before the incidents in Washington, Wilmington and Madison, The Economist magazine used the word "****ardly" in an article about the impact of computers and productivity: "During the 1980s, when service industries consumed about 85% of the $1 trillion invested in I.T. in the United States, productivity growth averaged a niggardly 0.8% a year." The Economist later pointed out with amusement that it received a letter from a reader in Boston who thought the word "****ggardly" was inappropriate. "Why do we get such letters only from America?" the British magazine commented
