Convicted Killer Says He Shot 3 White Women Because of Ideas Learned at University: ‘In Terms of Slavery, It Was Something That Had to Be Answered For’

Nkosi Thandiwe Says He Shot 3 Women Because of Anti White Ideas He Learned at University Anthropology Class | Georgia

This undated picture provided by the Fulton County Jail shows Nkosi Thandiwe. Thandiwe, 22, was taken into custody and charged with one count of murder and two counts of aggravated assault Friday, July 15, 2011 after three women were shot in a parking deck in Atlanta’s midtown business district.

Former security guard Nkosi Thandiwe was found guilty of murdering a woman and wounding two others during a shooting spree in July of 2011 and has been sentenced to life without parole, CBS Atlanta reports.

He confessed to the crimes during his testimony last week, adding some chilling details about his motivation. And prosecutors argued that Thandiwe was fueled by racist hate against whites.

“My mind was blank at the time,” he said — but he still remembers what prompted the violence by his own twisted rationale. He cited anti-white ideas he learned at university.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has all the information:

During his testimony Wednesday, Thandiwe suggested that his reason for even purchasing the gun he used in the shootings was to enforce beliefs he’d developed about white people during his later years as an anthropology major at the University of West Georgia.

“I was trying to prove a point that Europeans had colonized the world, and as a result of that, we see a lot of evil today,” he said. “In terms of slavery, it was something that needed to be answered for. I was trying to spread the message of making white people mend.”

He said the night before the shooting, he attended a so-called “Peace Party” intended to address his concerns about helping the black community find equal footing, but two white people were there.

“I was upset,” Thandiwe said. “I was still upset Friday. I took the gun to work because I was still upset from Thursday night.”

He even admitted to earlier that day getting angry enough on the job to shoot his supervisor.

“What my boss said to me …,” he told the jury, “that rage almost made me pull out my gun on him.” [Emphasis added]

The defense tried to plead insanity, but Fulton County assistant district attorney Linda Dunikoski set the record straight for the jury.

“He told you he shot Brittney Watts, Lauren Garcia and Tiffany Ferenczy because he had adopted all these racist ideals,” she said. “If race disorder was a [mental illness], then the Ku Klux Klan could murder and kill with impunity.”

CBS Atlanta 46

CBS Atlanta has more on the specifics of the case:

Thandiwe was found guilty on all 11 counts which include murder, aggravated assault and carjacking after he admitted in court on Wednesday to killing Brittany Watts, 26, and stealing her car.

As Thandiwe drove away, he said he shot Lauren Garcia, 24, and Tiffany Ferenczy, 24, while they were walking across Crescent Avenue to a nearby restaurant on their lunch break.

Garcia was shot in the torso, and Ferenczy was shot in the calf.

Garcia’s injuries left her paralyzed.

Thandiwe worked as a security guard in the parking garage where he killed Watts. He turned himself in to the police 6 hours and 15 minutes after the shootings. [Emphasis added]

WHY SO MUCH HATRED FOR THE WHITE MAN?

Well, I find it interesting that so much anger is aimed at the white man. People are going around shouting that we need to teach all of history. They go on to show supposedly just how bad the Caucasian male has been over the centuries. Yes we should tell all of history. The problem is that people generally only think they want to hear all of history. Let’s see if you are one of them.

  I’m totally with you. I learned about Anthony Johnson about 10 years ago, and that free Blacks in the South owned a disproportionately large percentage of the slave population in the American South. When you actually look at the whole story of slavery in America, it involved both Whites and Blacks victimizing other human beings, but the collectivist revisionism “history” lays 100% of the blame on whitey. That in and of itself is a “race crime.”

  Great Article!!
  If we all would study and teach the real history of America I don’t beleive we would have as many issues in this country as we do today. Problem is if you know and understand what the real American history is then the excuses used in todays racial issues are void. Theres no money in the truth and thats what racism has come to in this country. Farrakan, Jackson & Sharton make loads of money spinning racial issues as well as the Media. Truth is, in todays society color is not an issue. The issue is the social ladder your on. If your an A?? Hole it makes no difference what color you are. Nobody ever sues middle class or below for racial comments, they sue the Companies they work for because thats were the money is. Simply saying the word ****** does not mentally destroy a Black American to the point that only a Million dollars in cash is the only cure. If this was the case we wouldn’t have a HIP HOP Culture.

I don’t see why we waste taxpayer money on something like this. It obviously for the news shock value.

Situations like this could be handled very simply.

Choose a person to re-educate them. I would do it for free.

I’ll bet this mental giant invented slavery….I’ll bet this Rhodes scholar thinks that Europeans were the only peoples who ever practiced slavery. I think his lawyers are the smart ones. With this defense, they will probably give him 2 years probation. /sarc.

I guess that reasoning makes sense when you compare it to “collective salvation.” Collective lynching would be wrong, though. Only this man should hang.

So i’m guessing those three women colonized you, you moron… learn from the past but don’t punish people from the future that are learning about the mistakes of our ancestors…. This guy has been brain washed by either, the NAACP or Islamic extremists …because those are the only two groups i know that would push someone towards doing a cruel thing like this, I’m so tired of the way the world thinks… If we didn’t have groups like the NAACP or islam, or gangs, i’m pretty sure our population would have doubled by now… Hatred towards our ancestors and all white people needs to stop, we have hearts too… We care more than u know, but your anger is flowing with stupidity, Speak your mind, don’t bring about violence…This world needs everyone it has to bring prosper for us all….

Quote from the attached article regarding a ‘Texas’ school…

‘Imagine a new socialist nation is creating a flag and you have been put in charge of creating a flag. Use symbolism to represent aspects of socialism/communism on your flag. What kind of symbolism/colors would you use?’

I’m not sure about Watts, but I’ll bet that Garcia and Frenezyy never owned a slave, nor ever had an ancestor who owned a slave, but, being non-black, they got shot because some other white guy, who is long dead, owned a slave, even though some different white guy took it away from him, and that guy is also long dead. I think we need a federal agency to look into this, and to determine who can be legitimately shot for slavery and who can’t. Honestly, it’s just not fair to be shot for slavery if you immigrated after 1867. Of course, it’s fair to be shot for “separate but equal,” but one thing at a time. What about people who immigrated before 1867? Well, we need a few thousand pages of federal regulations on that. We should just have them wear a yellow er gray six pointed star at all times, so that legitimate abuse for slavery is not misdirected. We can then have the federal government exclude them from professions, business, and ultimately sequester them so that they don’t infect others with awfulness. Obviously, once sequestered, their houses, cars, etc. can be used as reparations to those their victims. What about the pre-1867 Yankees? It’s just too much hassle to separate them from the others, but they can wear a blue six pointed star….

Reason # 247 for the 2nd Amendment and conceal carry – there are a lot of mental defectives roaming our open society that need to be removed. Since we don’t institutionalize anymore, we need to fertilize the Earth so that the innocent are protected. Also, this dude looks half wihite to begin with. He is probably just angry that he is not all black. Most halfers are – eh DUMBO!

Sounds like he shouldda shot his Anthropology Professor instead, Africans were selling other Africans into slavery long before the white man took up the biz.

Hey keaton, Encinimon and Archon: is this the kind of hatred you are referring to when you talk about conservative hate? iget confused by your silence in these cases. Speaking of which, i guess I missed all the newscasts on the networks talking about this one. You hypocrites will be the cause for the violence that is coming…….from the LEFT.

I guess he forgot about all the WHITE PEOPLE who were slaves in the early days of the Romans. Maybe us White Folk should start raising hell that we need some MONEY for what the Romans did to us!?

  Very few know this, but the very first person to own another person in the English-American colonies was a BLACK MAN. His name was Anthony Johnson (you can google him). Also, there were MANY free Blacks in the South who owned other Blacks. In 1860, there were over 3000 Black slave-owners in the city of New Orleans alone (28% of the free Black population). Statistics show that when free, Blacks disproportionately became slave masters over the White population in the South. And yet, “whitey” gets 100% of the blame, and also the rage from morons like this cretin.

So when does the investigation begin onto the hate being spewed at the anthropology department of the University of West Georgia? Guess I won’t hold my breath waiting for that one.

Well what a surprise. I wonder how many “slaves” these women owned. Did he evenknow their names? Did he do research to determine that their ancestor’s even owned slaves. Why even act surprised any more. This is what Obama wants.

  If this idiot had “learned” ANYTHING about slavery, he would have known that it was MEN who did anything to establish slavery anywhere, and that women owners of ANYTHING were few and far-between back in the day. His decision to go after some GIRLS can only be traced to his own cowardice, because he was too pathetic to face a man, even if he was unarmed. This piece of filth should be wrapped in chains, given cement shoes, and dropped into the depths of the sea.

The nomadic Tuareg (Touareg) were/are the slave traders in North Africa (North Mail & Niger) they have always had a caste system. In 1968 Timbuktu abolished slavery, however, there were still slaves in 1998. When asked about this they said, “Yes, they freed the slaves, but not all have been told yet”. To the Moors in Niger, Mali & Mauritania and Sudan the practice remains. The 2002 book by Marc DeVillers and Sheila Hirtle “Sahara: A Natural History”.

The Nazi’s used Jews as slave labor at these German companies: Volkswagon, IG Farben, Siemens, AEG, Porsche, Daimler. When the Jewish slave labor became weak then they were sent to the gas chambers. A total of 2 million were used as slave labor during the Nazi era.

All across the history of Europe and the Middle East as villages and towns were conquered the people that survived were taken as slaves. Every person on this earth can trace back to an ancestor that was once in slavery. Except, possibly elite ruling families that were not taken in to slavery but instead put to death.

The United ***** College Fund’s motto is “a mind is a terrible thing to waste.” Seems to me like the opposite is true. Go to college, and get your mind completely wasted with collectivist propaganda and hate indoctrination. The irony is staggering.

Apparently they were not teaching the entire history of slavery. It was also “their kind” that for riches captured and sold them as slaves.
I cannot understand why this maggot was not made a crispy critter in lieu of a jail sentence.

  Death Sentences have evolved like Obozo. It’s almost impossible to carry out a death sentence anymore. The Lawyers have put a kibosh on the death sentences anymore. Best chance for this POS to die is for a garden variety shanking in prison.
