Former Drexel University professor George Ciccariello-Maher resigned from his position
just days ago only to be hired by New York University as a visiting scholar at their Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics.
Ciccariello-Maher
wrote Monday on Facebook: "I'm glad to announce that, starting today, I will be a Visiting Scholar at NYU's Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics. Happy New Year!"
George Ciccariello-Maher made headlines last year after tweeting, "All I Want For Christmas is White Genocide."
In a follow-up tweet, he "clarified" his statement by saying the brutal massacre of white men, women, children and babies during the Haitian revolution "was a good thing indeed."
For reference, it was "standard" during the Haitian revolution for Haitian rebels to
"carr[y] a pike with the carcass of an impaled white baby."Ciccariello-Maher
decided to play the victim during an interview on CNN last week and claim his Christmas genocide tweet was only a joke.
As CNN reported:
He said the tweet was a joke, a "satirical jab at a certain paranoid racist fantasy and that white genocide does not exist."
CNN failed to fact check his statement and went along with portraying him as the victim.NYU president
Andrew D. Hamilton undoubtedly saw his statements advocating for white genocide. Evidently, he figured such statements make him just the man for the job.
Comment: NYU just got itself a real
ANTIFA-supporting and white supremacist-paranoid winner:
Political science and global studies professor George Ciccariello-Maher announced via Facebook that he would be resigning in order to continue "to support and work with (students) informally, whether in reading groups, in the streets, or both" so that he can battle against the so called "Right and White Supremacists" with the "establishment of the Campus Antifascist Network."
"After December 31st 2017, I will no longer work at Drexel University. This is not a decision I take lightly; however, after nearly a year of prolonged harassment by right-wing white supremacist media outlets and internet mobs...my situation has grown unsustainable," he wrote. "Staying at Drexel in the eye of this storm has become detrimental to my own writing, speaking, and organizing."
Adding,
"We are at war, and academia is a crucial front in that war. This is why the Right is targeting campuses with thinly veiled provocations disguised as free speech. My case and many others show just how cynical such appeals are, and how little the Right cares about academic freedom. They will continue to attack me and many others, but from these attacks new unities spring dialectically forth: an upsurge in new AAUP chapters and the establishment of the Campus Antifascist Network (CAN), among others."
He left his readers with a call to action.
"In the face of aggression from the racist Right and impending global catastrophe, we must defend our universities, our students, and ourselves by defending the most vulnerable among us and by making our campuses unsafe spaces for white supremacists."
Should've started with yourself, ye Caucasian cocu cuckoo, you.
