Anti-Israel, BLM Supporting Professor At Cornell University

It’s unfortunate that some things no longer surprise me. You would think it would throw me through a loop to hear of a college instructor who teaches his students that the “militant” and “reinvigorated confrontation politics” of the BLM movement is a good thing. A good thing… A GOOD THING? REALLY?! 

Dr. Russell Rickford, one of the newest additions to our Professor Watchlist, is an associate professor of history at Cornell University. According to his university biography, Dr. Rickford “specializes in African-American political culture after World War II, the Black Radical Tradition, and transnational social movements.”

Rickford has been openly anti-Israel, promotes the lie that his students benefit from white supremacy, states that America was founded on genocide and slavery and has continually spewed these radical ideologies for years at protests. INSANE.

Now let’s take the BLM movement and speak about this destructive, openly Marxist, and pseudo-benevolent organization for just a moment. I could not find an actual count for how many federal buildings BLM targeted as they ran rampant in the streets all over America. Still, we all remember seeing the police precincts being burned, buildings vandalized, courthouses damaged, immigration buildings attacked with explosives, etc. However, need I remind you that these violent incidents were merely inconsequential kerfuffles of minuscule proportions due to them being characterized as ”fiery but mostly peaceful protests,” right mainstream media?

Aside from that, there were a total of 47 deaths that were accounted for and over $2 billion worth of damages, not to mention the emotional and mental trauma of police officers, innocent bystanders, and the men and women who worked for years to build businesses that were looted, vandalized and burned down. Mind you, these were businesses that were owned by blacks, employed blacks, and served the black and white communities equally! However, I would be remiss if I didn’t remind you that this illegitimate organization which promoted the wanton disregard, destruction, and racial targeting of American citizens and property were promoted in 2020 as “essential” and “brilliant” by then Leftist candidate for Vice President, Senator Kamala Harris, as she promoted what she claimed to be “protests” as “necessary.”  

But I digress… Back to the college instructor who praises the “militancy” and “reinvigorated confrontation politics” of the BLM movement.

This aforementioned ridiculous, destructive, rhetoric espousing individual, Dr. Russell Rickford: an “educated” black man who has degrees, thrives financially, has a stable job, and who, last I checked, lives in a spacious 3-bedroom home in Ithaca, New York. By the way, that home is listed in the top 100 places to live in America. It simply boggles the mind how one’s own narcissistic tendencies coupled with their flights of fancy mixed with a heaping overabundant amount of deep-seated racism enables a person like Dr. Rickford to conclude he has been hindered by white oppression whilst simultaneously living such a privileged life! Yet, THIS man has the audacity to speak out about how OPPRESSED “we” are? 

This man’s absurdity cannot be overstated. He even defends Osama Bin Laden’s actions because he claims the media twisted the narrative and didn’t portray that those attacks were because of Israel’s oppression of Palestinians. Hmmm…so 9/11, which claimed the lives of 2,753 people, 234 of them black, is justifiable, Russell? I’m not going to address you as a “doctor” any longer, as the only doctoring you have accomplished is in your constant teaching of false narratives, altered statistics, and outright lies while using Critical Race Theory as your foundation. By the way, Russ, it’s called a THEORY for a reason. Allow me to educate you, professor: theory means a conjecture, an unproved assumption, speculation; you are teaching a theory as though it is factual; you are ruining lives and training young adults to be hateful. You verbally encourage what you call “race suicide,” indicating that whites need to stop populating and fall into extinction.  You refer to “white” America as being “irredeemably racist.”  

I must say, I am thoroughly befuddled with how racist a good portion of black America is today. I am absolutely dumbfounded and flabbergasted, to say the least. What’s worse, to know that a man who wants an ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE to fall into extinction is actively teaching our young men and women is a welcomed speaker at Cornell University. Unreal, talk about indoctrination!

Ladies and gentlemen, lovers of America & conservatism, condemners of racists, IT’S TIME TO FIGHT BACK! Call this number (607)255-1097 and voice your concerns to Cornell University over the things that this man espouses. It’s time to be filled with righteous indignation and put an end to these divisive America-hating racists having access to students who go to college for an education but instead are taught to embody the worst aspects of humanity.  

Fight back people, don’t let this man destroy an entire generation by planting such seeds of hatred.
