REPORT: University professor urges White allies to mirror mass murderer in activism

5

From Fox News: A far-left Howard University professor called for White allies of the leftist political cause to mirror a pre-Civil War-era vigilante mass murderer, who was eventually hanged for his crimes.

Stacey Patton is a professor of journalism at the Washington, D.C., private school. In a recent blog post titled “John Brown Didn’t Ask Enslaved People How to Be A Good White Ally,” she discouraged White liberals from asking her how to be a better “ally” to minorities, and encouraged them instead to emulate Brown.

Brown was a militant slave abolitionist during the pre-Civil War “Bleeding Kansas” period. In 1856, he orchestrated the Pottawatomie massacre. He and fellow abolitionists dragged five Kansas settlers, at least three of whom were pro-slavery sympathizers, out of their homes and executed them.

In October 1859, Brown led a 21-man raid on a federal armory in Harpers Ferry, part of Virginia at the time. His goal was to start a slave uprising, but few slaves joined the fight. A local militia confronted Brown and his men and fought back. Four townspeople, including freed slave Heyward Shepherd, were caught in the crossfire and killed in the skirmish.

The report explains that Brown was captured after 10 of his men were killed. He was later tried for treason and eventually hanged.

But Patton is calling for liberal activists to follow in Brown’s footsteps, although she claimed, “If you don’t want to die like John Brown, fine. But understand that somebody always does.”

In her blog post, Patton wrote:

“So when white allies ask, ‘What can I do?’ here’s the answer: Be like John Brown. Ask yourself, what am I willing to burn so somebody else can breathe?”

“Brown didn’t need a syllabus, a think piece, or a guidebook on allyship. He didn’t need affirmation from Black folks that he was one of the good ones. He saw the horror for what it was and decided that ending this racist f—ery mattered more than being understood.”

Patton also brazenly posted her suggestion to her X account, and wrote: ““How can I be a good white ally?” “What do I do?” “How do I show POC that I’m one of the good ones.” Be like John Brown! John Brown didn’t ask enslaved people how to be an ally. So why do y’all keep asking us? The question itself is the violence.”

This isn’t the first time Patton has celebrated the idea of death on conservatives.

Two days after the assassination attempt on then-candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, PA in July 2024, she lamented that it wasn’t successful.

Patton has also blasted Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for not “resisting” President Trump.

Patton is also mad that singer Taylor Swift, a “white girl,” is engaged to an NFL player.
