'I apologize for the horrible choice of words,' Cornell University Professor Russell Rickford wrote

A Cornell University professor who said he was "exhilarated" and "energized" after the Hamas atrocities in Israel issued an apology on Wednesday for the remarks.

"I apologize for the horrible choice of words that I used in a portion of a speech that was intended to stress grassroots African American, Jewish, and Palestinian traditions of resistance to oppression," Cornell University professor Russell Rickford said in a letter published in the Cornell Daily Sun.

"I recognize that some of the language I used was reprehensible and did not reflect my values," Rickford stated. The professor added that he opposes and denounces "racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, militarism, fundamentalism and all systems that dehumanize, divide and oppress people."

The professor added that he opposes and denounces "racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, militarism, fundamentalism and all systems that dehumanize, divide and oppress people."

But I'm sure he is fine with censorship, doxing, judge intimidation, violations of 8th amendment, etc... as long as it is conservatives.

Baloney. He said what he believed and no apology changes that. Fire him.

"The professor added that he opposes and denounces "racism,
antisemitism, Islamophobia, militarism, fundamentalism and
all systems that dehumanize, divide and oppress people.""

So, no mention of opposition to murdering civilian grandmothers,
mothers, children, or even beheading babies.

A truly sick, mentally diseased individual.

Not good enough. Not nearly good enough. The Ivy League seems to consist entirely of trash schools with trash professors.

He's a professional racist, as are both his father and his mother.

Pay attention everyone; the left, just as they’ve done with “assault weapons” that apparently act on their own, now have speech that apparently just gets away from them. "I recognize that some of the language I used was reprehensible and did not reflect my values,…". If you don’t recognize that what you’re saying “doesn’t reflect you values”, you shouldn’t be in a position where anything you say would be heard by anyone other than your immediate circle of friends and family.

Blackadder : This is a house of simple purity.

Monk : [Runs in and vomits in fireplace] Great booze-up, Edmund.

Lady Whiteadder : Do you know that man?

Blackadder : No.

Lady Whiteadder : He called you Edmund.

Blackadder : Oh, know him? Yes, I do.

Lady Whiteadder : Then can you explain what he meant by "great booze-up"?

Blackadder : [very long pause] Yes, I can. My friend is a missionary and on his last visit abroad brought back with him the chief of a famous tribe. His name is Great Boo. He's been suffering from sleeping sickness and he's obviously just woken because as you've heard, Great Boo's up.

Not good enough. Strap this guy to a chair, Clockwork Orange-style, with his eyelids pinned open, and make him watch the unedited videos of Hamas atrocities for about 72 hours straight.

Then maybe I will accept his subsequent apology.

These “professors” are dopes. Why go to any school that would keep any of these ignorant people as teachers?

Talk is cheap. I’m sure he said his pathetic “apology” with his fingers crossed behind his back. Fire his sorry behind and neuter him with a rusty steak knife to prevent furthering his filthy line.
