Rutgers Professor Goes on Disturbing Rant Against White Children and Their Parents

Share

A professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey has attracted attention after a disturbing, racist rant he wrote against white children and their parents.

Of course, the great irony — as you may notice when you see his profane rant as it was captured on Facebook by The Daily Caller — is that James Livingston himself is white. But, as we’ve learned in the past week from Samantha Bee, being a female doesn’t stop you from being a raging sexist against other females you don’t like. So why should it stop Livingston from saying something racist against whites?

Livingston was at a Harlem restaurant he frequents, according to The Blaze. He was apparently annoyed by the “little Caucasian a——-” brought in by white parents who apparently don’t belong in the historically black New York City neighborhood (Livingston belongs there, obviously, being a member of the history department at Rutgers).

“OK, officially, I now hate white people,” Livingston wrote Thursday.

“I am a white people, for God’s sake, but can we keep them — us — us out of my neighborhood? I just went to Harlem Shake on 124 and Lenox for a Classic burger to go, that would [be] my dinner, and the place is overrun with little Caucasian a——- who know their parents will approve of anything they do.”

“Slide around the floor, you little s—head, sing loudly, you moron. Do what you want, nobody here is gonna restrict your right to be white.

“I hereby resign from my race,” Livingston added. “F— these people. Yeah, I know it’s about access to my dinner. F— you, too.”

Ah, gratuitous academia-based anti-white racism and expletive-laced restaurant rants. It’s like Manhattan distilled down into a few sentences. If you want to see Livingston’s rant in all of its original uncensored glory, it’s here.

Amazingly, it wasn’t Livingston who took down his post, but instead Facebook blocked it after it was reported for hate speech. That’s actually a first in these sorts of internet peccadilloes; it’s usually the professor deleting their post and/or account because as we know, that always helps the situation.

Should this professor be fired?

In fact, Livingston took the opportunity in a subsequent Facebook post clarifying why his original post wasn’t offensive — and his follow-up post was unsurprisingly just as offensive as the first post.

“I don’t get the FB threat thing against me because as far as I can tell, my page is intact, including my earnest, angry, and ridiculous resignation from the white race,” Livingston wrote.

“As if I could! Calling Noel Ignatiev,” he added, name-checking the historian who has proposed abolishing the concept of whiteness in order to eliminate white privilege.

“Who am I kidding?” Livingston continued. “The FB algorithm conjoins the words ‘race’ and ‘hate’ and designates the origin, which would be me, as a problem. OK, God knows I am. But not in this regard.”

“I just don’t want little Caucasians overrunning my life, as they did last night. Please God, remand them to the suburbs, where they and their parents can colonize every restaurant, all the while pretending that the idiotic indulgence of their privilege signifies cosmopolitan — you know, as in sophisticated ‘European’ — commitments.”

Keep diggin’, Dr. Livingston. I presume you’ll hit bottom sometime. And probably still keep your job, sadly.
