The event at which Rickford spoke was called “Ferguson: The Next Steps,” according to Campus Reform.
A staffer for The Cornell Review, the Ivy League school’s conservative student rag, recorded the event.
The Ivy League professor suggested that “treason to whiteness” is a necessary step to salvage humanity.
“There’s still a slender minority of white folks, a very slender, but a slender minority of white folks, that are ready to commit race suicide,” Rickford told the audience, near the end of his remarks. “Which is to say, they are ready to reject corrupt skin privileges. They’re ready to perform treason to whiteness, as an expression of their loyalty to humanity.”
