Let White Supremacy “Fucking Die”
Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
31 Oct 2017
🖨️ Print Article

Sociology professor Johnny Williams is sitting out this semester under an imposed leave of absence from Trinity College, in Hartford, Connecticut, after a rightwing organization whipped up a frenzy of protest against Williams’ Facebook comments against police killings of Black people. Williams signed his remarks “Let Them Fucking Die” -- by which he meant letting “whiteness and white supremacy” die. A group called Campus Reform launched a “whistle-blowing campaign to their racist base,” prompting the college to temporarily put Prof. Williams on ice.
