Professor: White People "Should Commit Mass Suicide"
Pundit Press ^ | 6/30/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 06/30/2015 8:06:37 AM PDT by rightistight

Every single white person alive today is "complicit" in slavery, according to Assistant Professor of Humanities Adam Kotsko, and should kill themselves. Dr. Kotsko teaches at Shimer College in Chicago.

According to Dr. Kotsko, if you are white, and even if your ancestors never owned slaves, you are still complicit for it. When asked what white people should do because of it, Kotsko said whites "should commit mass suicide:"

Kotsko defended his statements to other Twitter users who found his accusation ridiculous:

He then went on to say that "whiteness" exists only to "subordinate and exploit other races:"

Kotsko was in the news earlier this year for claiming that the writers of Charlie Hebdo should have expected to be horribly murdered because they tried to offend people:

Who are we to argue with someone educated at Chicago Theological Seminary and Olivet Nazarene University?

He’s probably drawn more attention to this “college” in the past 24 hours than it received in the prior 24 years.

Big Talkers, those Libs.

I'll consider mass suicide when those that champion mass suicide act like it.

If he truly believes what he just said he should immediately volunteer to resign his position and insist that he be replaced by a black professor. But the chance of that happening is zero. Just another liberal hypocrite.

He needs to blame his Mother and Father for being born Black not me.

re: How do “educators” like this stay employed?

tenure. But even without tenure, in this age where political correctness runs amok, “educators” like this guy fit right in.

What this sociopathic nut refers to as "slavery," while not the desirable way of handling employment relationships, is not the ultimate evil that he suggests. Indeed his proposed remedy would be considerably worse.

Some form of unpaid bondage labor system has existed in almost every realm, for significant periods of human history. It is one of the most common institutionalized forms of human hierarchical systems, and has parallels among other life forms.

The "Professor" obviously hates deeply; obviously is very, very angry. We will not speculate on what has set him off; but that he is indeed "off," should be obvious to anyone. He obviously does not honor his lineage--obviously does not observe the Fifth Commandment;--obviously does not honor the White Founding Fathers, or the American culture, liberty & opportunity, that they vouchsafed to their posterity.

What has led this fellow into this mental abyss, we cannot know for sure; but that idiotic rational fallacies, epidemic in contemporary Academia, have fanned his malaise, seems obvious.

He has made a ‘gratuities assertion” which is a statement purported to be fact, but without any proof.

As such it can be equally gratuitously denied without proof.

You cannot prove a negative, so you cannot prove you DID NOT benefit from slavery 200 years ago.

That’s why liberals make such stupid arguments. They are simple and require no thought or actual WORK to provide proof.

if he’s feeling so guilty, why doesn’t he move into a zoo and eat dog food for the rest of his life?
