As of April 2023, Osei-Frimpong’s Twitter said he was located in Athens, Georgia.

Threatening Violence

On January 12, 2019, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “Fighting White people is a skill. Really, it's one reason I'm in support of integrated schools. You have to get used to fighting White people. It takes practice. / ‘Blacks kill Blacks because they have never been trained to kill Whites’ / -Dr. Bobby Wright.”

On May 12, 2017, Osei-Frimpong wrote an article on Medium where he said he was banned from Facebook for defending Texas A&M professor Tommy Curry who called for killing white people. Osei-Frimpong wrote on Facebook: “I guess I am going to post once more on Curry’s situation. We are too easy on white people…” 

Osei-Frimpong was also banned for writing that “killing some white people isn’t genocide; it’s killing some white people. We had to kill some white people to get out of slavery. Maybe if we’d killed more during the 20th century we still wouldn’t talk about racialized voter disenfranchisement and housing, education, and employment discrimination…”

Osei-Frimpong also wrote on Facebook: “If we want racial justice without having to kill them, then all of our educational and media institutions should be preparing white people for the hit they are going to have to take, so that we get racial justice without killing too many of them.”

Osei-Frimpong continued: “This includes drilling down the notion that in order to make the country whole, we are going to have to take some of their s**t. Whether it’s their money, their illusion of safety, or their self-esteem, a lot of the stuff we’ve led white people to believe is inalienably theirs; we are going to have to alienate and redistribute. And if I know white people — and I do — some of them are going to resent it and fight back with arms. I’d rather not have to kill them, but like Tommy [Curry] said, ‘In order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die.’...”

Bigotry

On December 1, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “A lot of Whites assume that we hate Hitler and like them, when it’s really more like, ‘We’ve made our peace with Hitler because we’ve had to deal with you, first.’” 

On May 29, 2020, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “White people are not people. They are White men and White women, with distinct, complementary roles in sustaining White supremacy…”

On August 13, 2018, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “There is a way in which White people in the South learn manners as a series of behaviors the way autistic kids learn to read social cues for behaviors. Except since these guys and gals aren't autistic, I just feel like I'm around a bunch of sociopaths.”

Anti-Semitism

On December 4, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “Last two bits about Ye’s glorious trolling. By saying, ‘I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis’, you can’t underestimate the Christianity working in the notion that ‘Ye loves YOUR enemy and you.’ And you are mad at him for loving your enemy…”

On December 1, 2022, American rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, appeared on The Alex Jones Show and proclaimed [00:00:25]: “There’s a lot of things I looooove about Hitler.” He also claimed [00:03:37] that the Holocaust “is not what happened.” Ye later tweeted a picture of a swastika merged with the star of David and was banned from Twitter.

On November 17, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “I don’t like the whole ‘reject antisemitism in any form’ language. Or reject violence ‘in any form’. In those instances where Jews are taught to gang up against you as a matter of their self-defense, antisemitism is YOUR self-defense. This ‘in any form’ language is a trap.”

On November 4, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “‘Being antisemitic will not help Black people get free.’ I’m not convinced this is true. Some forms of anti-Christianity will DEFINITELY help Black people get free. Some form of anti-feminism will help Black people get free. I wouldn’t rule out some forms of anti-semitism.”

Also on November 4, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “I like to think that my anti-Jewish, anti-Feminist, and anti-Christian judgements aren’t prejudices as much as judgements concerning the stumbling blocks to addressing the structures of anti-Black racism in America…”

On the same date, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “ ...Jews took over the [semite] term and decided that it means them. It’s power. I mean, the US did a variety of the same thing with the term America.”

Trivializing the Holocaust

On December 4, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “Let me make it clear: We need to lessen the horror of the holocaust and its perpetrators for the sake of addressing those same dispositions in American culture.”

On November 28, 2021, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “The Third Reich is remarkable as an advanced nation administering genocide. A lesser historian would have made a book about the genocide by studying the victims...”

Hatred of America

On December 5, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “There is this assumption that American leaders can’t be as bad as Hitler, and US culture could never be as bad as the Nazies. When we appreciate our American heroes, it’s nothing like appreciating the Third Reich. That assumption that needs to die, if we want racial justice.”

The Third Reich alluded to the Nazi claim that Nazi Germany was the successor to the Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) and the German Empire (1871–1918).

On December 4, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “There is a way in which Hitler had a harder job in Germany than the genocidal US Presidents had in the US. Our genocidal maniacs didn’t have to contend with substantial communities of wealthy, educated Blacks and Native Americans in influential sectors of society.”

On December 3, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “One of the reasons we can’t address structural racism in the US is because we think the Nazies are some alien group ‘over there’ and Hitler was a demon, rather than a variation.”

Hatred of Israel

On April 1, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “...Israel is a whole apartheid state shot through with US produced, tax funded military machinery.”

On March 11, 2022, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “Zionism is culture. And Zionism is the problem. Arming the Palestinians doesn’t fix that.”

Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to self-determination in their own national home, and the right to develop their national culture.

On February 11, 2019, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “You are going to have to offend some of your constituents, if they think criticizing unqualified zionism is the same as anti-Semitism. This is ideological terrorism…”

Also on February 11, 2019, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “Make no mistake: I stand with @IlhanMN [U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar]. There is nothing anti-semitic about having serious problems with zionism’s impact on American policies…”

Ilhan Omar was elected to the U.S. Congress in 2018. In February 2019, top Congressional leaders denounced Omar for tweeting anti-Semitic remarks.  

On May 20, 2016, Osei-Frimpong tweeted: “‘But you can't teach empathy’
‘Not only can you teach it, you can sell it. Arguably, the biggest Israeli export is empathy for Israel.’”
