“Liberalism is a mental disorder,” radio host Michael Savage is famous for saying. Many conservatives would like to believe that this is not true, and that Americans of different political backgrounds can come together on important issues.
Sometimes, however, a leftist says something so appalling that it’s hard not to side with Savage. That’s exactly what happened when a college professor took “white guilt” so far that he started publicly calling for mass death.
The Shimer College instructor’s bizarre tirade began when he claimed that all white people were complicit in slavery, even through generations have gone by since the Civil War.

Of course, there are so many problems with that claim that it’s hard to know where to start. Are white people who immigrated from Europe long after slavery ended in America also complicit?
If we’re wringing our hands over incidents that happened over a century ago, why not events that are more recent? Is every Japanese person responsible for the Nanking Massacre, or every Muslim personally responsible for 9/11? Where exactly is the line?
Incredibly, the unhinged professor — who holds a PhD in Theology, Ethics, and Culture — quickly doubled down on his idiocy.
“What follows from this?” asked a curious reader. In other words, even if we accept the premise, what then?
Kotsko immediately showed the incredible depth of knowledge that only a leftist professor can possess. “We should commit mass suicide,” he posted.
Not content with that astounding advice, the self-loathing educator helpfully explained himself by making a deeply racist statement.
“I know it sucks having a racial identity that exists solely to legitimate the subordination and exploitation of other races,” he posted, along with the hashtag “#whiteness.”
Yes, in the dark rectal cavity which this professor’s head no doubt lives, the entire “white” race is nothing but a plague on the earth, which must be wiped out through self eradication.
Imagine for one moment if he had written the same thing about black individuals or, say, Jews or Asians. The racism coursing through his veins is so thick it’s a wonder he has a detectable pulse.
Forget that “whites” — to use his term — are almost solely responsible for building the same grand civilization that allows him to comfortably tweet his hateful nonsense.
Radio, air conditioning, the automobile, the airplane, biochemistry, spaceships, the Polio vaccine, nylon, the computer… those are just the very tip of the iceberg of the inventions and discoveries made by “white” people, who Dr. Kotsko so loathes.
Within the human body, allergies occur when the body mistakenly starts attacking itself. In conditions where a person has been so safe, so unexposed to the outside world that their body has no reference point, allergy responses treat completely mundane things like peanut oil or dust as diseases, and work overtime to defeat the non-existent threat.
Kotsko and others like him are examples of cultural allergy attacks. The asinine professor has been made so safe and comfortable by the very Western culture he hates that he can no longer separate reality from fantasy.
He has started to attack his own race and everything it has built because true oppression is so foreign to him, he wouldn’t know it if it slapped him on the face.
The truth is that America — a nation that much to his chagrin is still predominately white — is so successful and appealing that people literally risk their lives just for a chance to come here. Interestingly, people don’t seem to be waiting in line to enter Somalia and Venezuela.
Calling for mass racial suicide — even as a bad joke — is sick. Self loathing is a sign of mental illness. Maybe Michael Savage was onto something all along.
This article is waaaay too long. You don’t engage a dolt like this-and is anyone surprised it’s from a college professor? That pretends the matter to exist on an intellectual plain, something worthy of discourse. A simple “fuck yourself” will suffice.
Instead of telling him to go fuck himself, shoulda told him to show some leadership and put his money where his mouth is by being the first to kill him self. What’s he waiting for?
If he’s so inclined I’ll spring for the gallon of gas and lighter.
(((Fellow White People))) really do seem to be a problem…
Every. Fucking. Time.
There is absolutely nothing to indicate this guy is a (((guy))).
Abusing memes out of context leads to chaos.
He could lead the way by committing suicide today. Another PhD at another college in Illinois
The professor should do the right thing and go first…….
At this point we can laugh and tell him to fuck himself. Whenever shit gets real – and much of the left really does want to go there – this fucker should be the first to go.
Not only would he be one of the first to go.He would probably be killed by one of the blacks he so loves. What an idiot.
Sorry to tell this asshole excuse for a professor, but neither I nor any of my ancestors ever owned slaves of any color. And, I have a number of good friends who happen to be non-white. So, I have no white guilt. Further, if my kid was attending that college, they would be withdrawn from said institution immediately. But, I will gladly let him erase his white guilt by committing suicide today or sooner.
Geez. My family owned slaves, and one was supposedly a KKK member. I am not racist and I have no white guilt either.
My family came on a Banana Boat from Finland in the 1890’s, I have no white guilt, and I’ll still call a nigger a nigger.
Fuck that made up racist shit, and people are not all equal.
Me 2! Grandpa fled the Okhrana.
These fucking idiots on the left remind me of the Dave Chapelle skit featuring the blind black Klan leader who finds out he is black and divorces his wife because she is a n!@@#% lover.
Think of the young minds this maroon shit for brains has warped in his tenure at Shimer College.
Then again, it was voted the worst college to study at in America last year, has a whopping 36 men, 43 women enrolled, of which 9 are black and 9 are Asian.
Just another liberal dipshit looking for attention, more proof liberal progs are a dying breed.
Boy. He holds a PHD in theology, ethics and culture.
Ethics? LMFAO!
Some Deep State programs that take lives in support of their modern forms slavery:

Amazing how introspective a person can get when they’re afraid of losing their job
It’s funny that he isn’t calling for all jews to kill themselves for their intimate involvement in the slave trade, throughout history, going back into antiquity.
“I know it sucks having a racial identity that exists solely to legitimate the subordination and exploitation of other races.”
Now hold on a minute. He’s the same type of liberal scat that always claims that there is only one race – the human race. So, numerous races when it suits your narrative and only one race when it suits another of your narratives. Got it.
Also, why am I and my white friends responsible for the actions of my ancestors related to slavery, but those adorable DACA “dreamers” are not responsible for the actions of their parents?
The irony is that if whites committed mass suicide, the races that remained would quickly revert to enslaving each other.
Who would pay for the welfare?
Perhaps the professor would care to lead by example unlike another group leaders who had similar fantasies of a race war confrontation wher blacks in America would be the winner ! But then they would seek out Charles Manson and family to show them how to build a new world .
Man I tell you you lock a liberal in a safe space and feed them LSD and there is no telling what lunacy they will babble out . Just ask Obama about Bill Ayers and Bernadean Dorn , oh sorry he only knew them as college professors and weatherman !
Fuck You Adam. As I’ve often stated before, I am neither ashamed of, nor will I ever apologize for, being white.
Shimer? You sure they don’t mean Faber College?
“Whether or not your individual ancestors had mental illness, you as a mentally deranged person have benefited from mental illness and are complicit in it.”
I’ll furnish the carbon monoxide and a breathing tube. Step forward , you brave pioneer of a new society.
He says he is Jewish but he is a stupid Jew.The kind you really don’t have to worry about.He is just another agitator.
The ones you have to worry about are the ones Controlling our debt.Both National and personal.
You should thank the enablers of your debt, BB. Otherwise, you’d have no truck to drive.
..”in the dark rectal cavity which this professor’s head no doubt lives…”
I love politeness when it really means something.
TIRED…..I’m so tired of the coverage these people get!
Hey…can he be the first to commit this act of suicide because I need an exact step-by-step visual so I can do it right?
We, as white people, did subjugate the entire world, exploit slave labor, rob, steal, and kill to obtain lands we never paid for and a thousand other atrocities only white people could imagine and then bring to fruition. So, what’s all the fuss about. That’s what we do, simply because we are superior in each and every way to other races. If that is not so then why the hell do we still own most of the world? Just ask’n. thanks
This professor should dunk his head in the toilet 3 times and take it out twice .
Well, in a round about way blacks REALLY benefited from slavery. The blacks I’m talking about are the ones who refuse to go back to Africa. No reason to go back if you are benefiting materially from the hardships your ancestors endured right?
If it were not for slavery here in the US most blacks would still be in Africa or sold into slavery elsewhere. If they remained in Africa they would have eventually been subjugated by the French, Dutch, Germans, English or who knows who else. Even if they avoided that fate they’d still be living in abject squalor like most black Africans do today.
Black ‘Muricans today have benefited enormously from their very humble and traumatic beginnings. If they had just a tiny bit of motivation they could easily benefit far more but they’re not interested in that. Nope. Drinkin’, druggin’, purple drank, poopin’ out feral chirren, free Obamaphones, EBT, welfare, permanent victimhood etc are all they seem to be interested in nowadays. That and being led around by their noses by liberal progressive democrats like virtual slaves. As a result they shit on and squander the suffering and work towards advancement that all their ancestors endured. They only care about black history/culture and black lives if they think they can get something out of the deal. If not, they’re happy being the lowlife freeshitters the democrats created.
Oh, he was kidding. It’s OK everyone, he was kiddddddinnnnng. He knew he was being set up and it was just a joke. That’s why he hid his comment according to OP (I don’t care enough to go look.)
I’m sure he would have owned his comment if other lefty dickbags were around to see it, say at the next trans/minority/feminyst/endangered species cocktail party.
I’m not guilty and I don’t give a shit, either. I kind of wish I had some slaves today. I’m equal opportunity, I don’t care what race or gendyr they are. I just wish I had some labor-saving devices who would work for me, take care of what I don’t want to, and had no rights I was expected to honor. Like my Roomba, but with feelings and ambitions I could ignore. Like Replicants, but without the Kill Humies! problem.
With the abject failure of education, family, religion, and sense of self identity in this country and the failing economy, I suspect there are positively scads of people out there willing and able to take direction from some Master in exchange for 3 hots and a cot and a little bit of tender guidance from the overseer.
You know, if you think about it, slavery might even be beneficial for a lot of people. Absent the welfare state, what would happen to countless millions of otherwise useless people? Who would care for them, clothe them, feed them?
We could probably bring back the old “Indentured Servitude” racket and even nice it up with some job training and work experience credits and master-provided healthcare to bring it into the 20th century. Some day soon, people might compete to become your slave if it offers that kind of job security and good benefits. For some reason, that “…for the price of a cup of coffee, you could make XXX’s life better” line from the aid commercials comes to mind. In today’s shitty economy, with millions of millenials on mom’s couch and no place to go, slavery might be a good leg up in the world. You sign up, get taken care of, get job skills, and in a few years, you go out on your own, fit to be your own Master!
And you know something? Slavery would take care of a lot of our problems. For instance, illegal immigration. Everyone says they’re doing jobs nobody wants to do. Well, absolutely nobody wants to be a slave. Maybe in exchange for the basics of life they can’t get at home, illegals would be happy to be slaves? It certainly gives them a reason to self-deport, lest they find themselves new employment. And for many, I believe the low wages and lack of rights part isn’t that far from slavery, anyway. And imagine the effect on prisoners if you knew conviction for a crime could just land you a position as a slave? It would save the state a lot of money on looking after criminals if you could just remand them to new Masters. With slavery, inner city ghettos might also become much less crowded and might even be gentrified. And you might see a lot more people getting fresh air and exercise. Win-Win!
Slavery really is the default setting for mankind (only been illegal worldwide since the late 1960s), so why not? If/when slaves come back, I totally want some. Sign me up. I would like to get some former lefty antifa starbucks barrista ones to do my “field work”just for fun. I only have a suburban yard for now, but it’s enought to keep a small team of field slaves busy and I can dream about hundreds of acres for now.
I even got a great name for the program: iSlaves! You could track them from your phone’s MySlave app while you’re having a drink or taking a dump. With today’s snowflakes, I bet your more heinous punishments could take the form of cutting off Facebook or giving them frownie faces.
Kill myself indeed!
“We should commit mass suicide.” What’s this “We” shit? Dude got a mouse in his pocket? Take charge professor. If anyone happens to follow your lead, well then it’s simply natural selection. For the record, you suck and so does anyone that takes you seriously!
People say “racist” like it’s a BAD thing.
I’m a racist, and I’m not ashamed of it.
I think it’s hilarious how the Left says we’re so horrible, so privileged – and yet they expect us to submit to our inferiors without complaint. Fuck ’em. Give them nothing.
White people built a nation and an economy that were so prosperous that we could afford to be generous to the worthless. Now the worthless are in charge, and prosperity is a distant memory.
Imagine where we could be today if we’d never imported vast numbers of subhuman savages.
I’m not a racist, I hate everyone equally.
But when it comes to committing suicide, we should quietly watch while the Negro’s finish killing themselves off, and then we won’t have to concern ourselves with this subject anymore…
