Professor’s 2012 Remark, ‘Some White People may have to Die,’ Resurfaces

Share this article

A professor at Texas A&M University is in hot water over remarks that he made in 2012 about killing white people:

“So today I want to talk about killing white people in context,” Professor Thomas Curry begins his interview on Rob Redding’s radio show, before going on to discuss the historical justifications for the murdering of white people and referencing several obscure academic texts that discuss “killing white people as self-defense.”

“So when we have this conversation about violence or killing white people it has to be looked at in the context of historical terms, and the fact that we have not addressed like how relevant and how solidified this kind of tradition is for black people saying, ‘look, in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die,’” Curry continued, expressing that he has “been immensely disappointed” at how little the topic is discussed.
