Johnny Williams [Email him] is a black professor of sociology at Trinity College. He is best known for his inflammatory comments, often made on social media, especially his 2019 tweet, “whiteness is terrorism.” Prof. Williams wrote several columns defending that claim.
In a May 1, 2019 column for Black Agenda Report (
“Whiteness Explainer for Dummies“) he wrote about “the concept of whiteness – a fiction enforced by power and violence,” and continued:
Whiteness constantly shifts its boundaries to segregate those who are entitled to have certain advantages from those whose exploitation and vulnerability to violence is justified by their non-whiteness.
