Trinity College defends professor's 'whiteness is terrorism' message

Trinity College professor Johnny Eric Williams is capturing headlines once again for proposing “whiteness is terrorism” on Twitter.
The Hartford, Connecticut, sociology professor who called white people “inhuman a-holes” who need to “die” following a shooting attack on congressional Republicans now says “whiteness is terrorism.”
School officials, as they did for years, are standing by the professor.
quote:
“Trinity College supports academic freedom and free expression and inquiry, which are hallmarks of academia and democratic society,” Trinity College President Joanne Berger-Sweeney told the educational watchdog Campus Reform on Monday. “When speech proves controversial, our responsibility as educators is to promote more debate and discussion, not less. Twitter is a challenging place for a thoughtful discourse, which is clear from this example.”
Mr. Williams, who is black, switched his account settings to private after the April 21 tweets.

This is the exact reason I stopped identifying as white over a year ago. I’m half Samoan half Eskimo this week. It’s awesome

Unless of course if you're white, conservative or Christian

This guy is terribly deceived. I also wonder what his thoughts are on Abraham Lincoln.

Well... at least he’s not one of the white people who actually say shite like this.

I say this purely in the 8th grade meaning of the phrase: What a fig

Would love to hear the ladies on the View spin how this isn't "hate speech" worthy of getting fired.

I'm fine with this. Let the free market composed of mostly white terrorists sort it out.

Good thing I'm "racial-gender-national-fluid". Today I'm a purple she male Irish Iranian.

Let's see a brave white professor at Trinity take the same position, while switching up the races, and watch what happens.

This man is batshit crazy, and does not need to be teaching in a college classroom anywhere.
