The University of Georgia just cleared their employee Irami Osei-Frimpong, who is a teacher’s assistant and a Ph.D. candidate of any “violence” or “wrongdoing” for writing on social media that “white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole.”
If there’s one area where we should be focused on cleaning up its schools and universities.
If we don’t do that — in a BIG way – this is only going to get worse and it will defeat us.
A Black Lives Matter activist and University of Georgia PhD candidate who currently works at the university as a teaching assistant was cleared by the university following controversial anti-white remarks in which he seemed to advocate political violence.
Irami Osei-Frimpong, a University of Georgia Ph. D. candidate in philosophy and Black Lives Matter activist, said that he was under investigation after making an inflammatory social media post where he stated that “Some white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole,” and “To pretend that’s not the case is ahistorical and generally naive.”
Osei-Frimpong, in another post, wrote “Fighting white people is a skill,” and after receiving criticism for what seems to be advocacy of political violence, added that he is “confused why that is so controversial.”
Though he claims he is not calling for violence, Osei-Frimpong believed it should still remain as an option when speaking with local media.
“It’s just a fact of history that racial justice often comes at the cost of white life,” the Ph. D. candidate explained. “I didn’t advocate for violence. I was just honest of racial progress.”
However, according to WBCK, he wrote the following in a Medium post:
Killing some white people isn’t genocide; it’s killing some white people…We had to kill some white people to get out of slavery. Maybe if we’d killed more during the 20th century we still wouldn’t talk about racialized voter disenfranchisement and housing, education, and employment discrimination. This should not be controversial.
