An associate history professor at Cornell University, Rickord was a featured speaker at a pro-Hamas rally. Speaking of the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israeli civilians, Rickford said, “It was exhilarating. It was exhilarating. It was energizing!” He continued: “And if they weren’t exhilarated by this challenge to the monopoly of violence, by this shifting of the balance of power, then they would not be human. I was exhilarated.” Rickford is also known to be a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

A former tenured professor at Indiana University Northwest, McPhail was terminated from his position after issuing a call to “Kill All White People.” After this incident, McPhail was hired as the Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost at Linfield University in McMinnville, Oregon. According to The Chronicle, Linfield University President Miles Davis commented on the hiring of McPhail by saying, “His scholarly background and previous experiences in higher education make him an ideal candidate for Linfield as we move forward.”

A professor of sociology at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, Williams penned a piece for the Hartford Courant that reiterated a statement he made on Twitter that “whiteness is terrorism.” In the Courant op-ed, Williams doubles down on his statement.

A former assistant professor within Texas Tech’s College of Education, Fúnez-Flores has a long history of antisemitic social media posts. Hours after the deadly October 7 Hamas assault against Israeli civilians, the former professor took to X to write, “PALESTINIAN MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN PEACE AND WITH DIGNITY IN THEIR OWN LAND. THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AS LONG AS THE SETTLER COLONIAL STATE OF ISRAEL EXISTS.” Soon after, Texas Tech placed Fúnez-Flores on paid leave.

Chanequa Walker-Barnes is a professor of practical theology at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. Her bestselling book A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal contains the piece “Prayer of a Weary Black Woman.” “Dear God, Please help me to hate White people. Or at least to want to hate them,” the prayer begins. “At least, I want to stop caring about them, individually and collectively. I want to stop caring about their misguided, racist souls, to stop believing that they can be better, that they can stop being racist.”

Britney Cooper is a professor of women’s, gender, and Africana studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey. During a history of colonialism discussion with the Root Institute, Cooper stated that white people are historically “committed to being villains” and the solution is to “take them out.” She also stated that white people lack confidence in society’s ability to distribute power to diverse demographics “because they are so corrupt.”

An academic and a former instructor at Kansas State University, in October 2024 — a few weeks before Election Day in the United States — Lowcock stated that any man who refused to vote for Kamala Harris should be “lined up and shot.” Backlash was swift soon after Lowcock’s comments were made public via a university video shared on social media. Both sitting U.S. Senators from Kansas called for Lowcock’s resignation, as did many social media users. Lowcock left his position at Kansas State University soon thereafter.
