Last December, a professor at Drexel University tweeted his Christmas wish. No, it wasn’t for peace on earth, or anything so, oh, mundane. No, he posted that “All I Want for Christmas is White Genocide.”

George Ciccariello-Maher later said that the tweet “was a joke,” a mere “satirical jab.” Actual genocide victims like Armenians and Ukrainians and Jews, however, weren’t around to appreciate his comic stylings.

Yet the professor of politics and ‘global studies’ didn’t stop there. A couple of months later, while on an airline flight, he noticed that a first class passenger gave up his seat to a member of the military. And he said the gesture made him want to “vomit.”

Soon afterwards the prof appeared on Fox News to defend that comment before Skewer Meister Tucker Carlson. His defense was a mishmash of deflection, insults, and a whole lot of filibustering. What he thought were nuggets of wisdom were more similar to the nuggets I clean out of my cats’ litter boxes.

And yet he persisted. In October Ciccariello-Maher tweeted that the massacre in Las Vegas was caused by “Trumpism” and the “narrative of white victimization.”

Do you see a pattern here?

So do a lot of other people. As a result, the Drexel professor announced on Thursday that he is resigning on December 31. No, it’s not because Drexel University asked for his resignation. It’s because he claims he has received death threats. The harassment over the past year has made his job “unsustainable.”

Now let me say this right here. There is never any reason to express death threats towards anyone, no matter how big a jackass he is. How is telling this guy to “eat shit and die” or “die in a fire” or any other form of verbal abuse different from wishing for “white genocide”? It’s not. It’s just as vile and immature. The biggest shame, however, is that Drexel University didn’t kick this clown out themselves in the first place.

On the other hand, what did this jerk think would happen with those social media comments? Maybe he thought it would be great sport to poke the bear, but now he’s whining that the bear roars back. That’s something that any Captain Obvious could figure out.

Yep, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. So cry me a river, Professor. As my sainted mother used to say, “you make your bed, you lie in it.” It seems that my high school educated mom had more intelligence and common sense than this vaunted professor of politics and global studies.
