statement to Inside Higher Ed. "On Christmas Eve, I sent a satirical tweet about an imaginary concept, 'white genocide.' For those who haven't bothered to do their research, 'white genocide' is an idea invented by white supremacists and used to denounce everything from interracial relationships to multicultural policies (and most recently, against a tweet by State Farm Insurance). It is a figment of the racist imagination, it should be mocked, and I'm glad to have mocked it," Ciccariello-Maher wrote. "What I am not glad about is that this satirical tweet became fodder for online white supremacists to systematically harass me and my employer, Drexel University.

Someone please tell me who is actually committing genocide against whites? That's what makes it satire: it's not a real thing occurring now.

PO1 John Crafton - Context is important. We currently have a problem with the alt-right/neo-nazis. So satire in this case is actually relevant.

PO1 John Crafton - Only for people who don't think critically for themselves. Knowing who he is and his occupation should have given some clue.

SSG Jessica Bautista - Can you tell me where these alt-right/neo nazis are operating from? I never hear about them where I live.

I bet the heels of his shoes are worn out from all the backpedaling he is doing on this, Remove " White" from his tweet and replace with Black, Gay, illegal Immigrant, Muslim or Liberal and he would have been fired on the spot. The only teaching point here is the guy is a piece of shit.
Another reason why many of our so called " universities" should be bulldozed flat and replaced with trade schools.

1stSgt Eugene Harless I think you are wrong, I bet he would be facing jail time for that tweet. Charges of terrorist threats, inciting riots, and whatever else they could think of, and at least one hate crime would be coming his way.

Cpl Joshua Caldwell - He did not make a threat, in that he didn't have a plan he had in place that he put into words about bringing this about, What he said was " All I want for Christmas is White Geneocide". While this itself is stupid its not a direct call to action. If he had said " All I want for Christmas is for awakened minorities to get a gun, machete or club and start committing white geneocide" there would be more of a case for terrorist threats.

His tweet "all I want for Christmas is white genocide."
His employers response:
"While the University recognizes the right of its faculty to freely express their thoughts and opinions in public debate, Professor Ciccariello-Maher’s comments are utterly reprehensible, deeply disturbing, and do not in any way reflect the values of the University,” Drexel said in a statement Sunday afternoon.
This was not satire or a joke it was intended as a pure identity politics attack, delivered on Christmas Eve.
What do we learn from the village idiot? I guess how not to think/behave etc. Remove white and enter any other race/religion/ethnicity etc and this guy would likely be out of a job.
The definition you used of "white genocide" is not the one he used. He called for white genocide, he wasn't calling out people for a belief in the "white genocide" you defined now was he? No is the answer to that question.
Perhaps instead of using twitter he might have wanted to write a paper on the topic and complete his thoughts. He decided that twitter on Christmas Eve was a good venue for his comment.
