A white Rutgers University professor is under fire after posting a scathing Facebook rant against privileged white children.
According to the Daily Caller, Thursday, James Livingston snapped after grabbing a burger to go from restaurant Harlem Shake on West 124th Street.
“OK, officially, I now hate white people. I am a white people [sic], for God’s sake, but can we keep them — us — us out of my neighborhood?” Livingston wrote in the post which has since been deleted.
He then proceeded to complain about how the burger shop was “overrun with little Caucasian a–holes who know their parents will approve of anything they do.”
“Do what you want, nobody here is going to restrict your right to be white,” Livingston wrote.
He then added: “I hereby resign from my race. F— these people.”
Livingston says his post was flagged on Facebook, which led to the site taking it down for “violating community standards on hate speech.”

“I’ve just been told by FB that my rant v, white people makes me dangerous, socially media speaking, even though I’m a white people, or person, or whatever,” he wrote.
Undeterred, the professor made a subsequent post, doubling down on his original statements.
“I just don’t want little Caucasians overrunning my life, as they did last night,” he elaborated the following morning.
“Please God, remand them to the suburbs, where they and their parents can colonize every restaurant, all the while pretending that the idiotic indulgence of their privilege signifies cosmopolitan–you know, as in sophisticated ‘European’–commitments.”

The Lombard, Illinois native claims his comments have attracted 30 angry emails and messages, including “three promising bodily harm.”
“One guy even left me a phone message, which I took as a warm and personal approach to the matter,” he wrote Sunday. “And the designations! ‘Racist F–kstain’ is my fave so far. Let’s see if this goes through.”
