The white teacher who wrote on Twitter, “All I Want For Christmas Is White Genocide,” has resigned from his job due to death threats to him and his family.

The white teacher who wrote on Twitter, “All I Want For Christmas Is White Genocide,” has resigned from his job due to death threats to him and his family.

Well that’s ironic. Aren’t he and his family of the same ethnicity he was demanding genocide for?

Too bad about losing his professorship in politics and global studies. With that degree, I’m sure he can work for a Starbucks somewhere. 

The controversy over the professor started last Christmas Eve, when Ciccariello-Maher tweeted: “All I want for Christmas is white genocide.” The tweet went viral, with many conservative websites calling for Drexel to fire Ciccariello-Maher. Drexel condemned the tweet but didn’t fire him.

Ciccariello-Maher and his supporters said that the irony and purpose of his tweet were lost on many. Ciccariello-Maher argues that white genocide doesn’t exist, and is a false image used by the far right to scare white people. So he says he was making a point, not calling for anyone to be hurt.

In April, Ciccariello-Maher was again in the news when he tweeted about his reaction when he saw a passenger in first class give up his seat on a flight. “Some guy in first class gave up his seat for a uniformed soldier. People are thanking him. I’m trying not to vomit or yell about Mosul.” 

…

Then in October the university placed Ciccariello-Maher on leave after his tweets about the mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Ciccariello-Maher posted a series of tweets after the shooting in which he noted that the shooter was a wealthy white man and said that he didn’t think gun control, as advocated by liberals, would prevent such shootings. “To believe that someone who would shoot down 50 people wouldn’t circumvent any gun law you pass is the height of delusion,” he wrote.

But the attacks on the professor have focused on what he said was the cause of the tragedy in Las Vegas. Ciccariello-Maher blamed “Trumpism” and the entitlement of white men. “White people and men are told that they are entitled to everything. This is what happens when they don’t get what they want,” he wrote. And “the narrative of white victimization has been gradually built over the past 40 years.”
