Drexel University professor George
Ciccariello watched as people boarded the flight he was on recently, only to
see a flight-mate give up a first-class seat to a uniformed soldier. This
prompted professor Ciccariello to tweet: “Some guy gave up his first-class seat
for a uniformed soldier. People are thanking him. I’m trying not to vomit or
yell about Mosul.” Class incarnate.
This is not
the first outrageous tweet the professor has issued. Last year he tweeted: “All
I want for Christmas is White Genocide.” This understandably perturbed some
folks, leading Ciccariello to claim the tweet was a joke, though simultaneously causing him to label critics of his
comedy “violent racists.” He’s
advocating racial-based genocide and
is calling his detractors “violent racists?” You can’t make this up. (I find
myself saying that a lot lately. Writing it, too, as the astute reader may have
noticed without my mentioning it). The esteemed professor is also on record as
saying that the slaughter of 4,000 white people during the Haitian Revolution
was “a good thing indeed.”
The
university is aware of Professor Ciccariello’s comments, but has no plans to
take disciplinary action against him as it says his tweets fall under the
category of “protected speech.” Oddly, the school instructs its students to avoid saying or creating
material that is in any way denigrating to a person or a group of people.
If a
professor stated that the slaughter of 4,000 black
people/gays/Muslims/transgenders/pro-gressives was “a good thing indeed,” he or
she would already be fired, excommunicated, deemed guilty of a hate crime, and
possibly been incarcerated for life.
Reading
Professor Ciccariello’s remarks, it is hard not to vomit or yell.
