But yeah, seize on the one case to disprove all the others.

Another interesting thing of note in this case is Tom Wolfe was a businessman before he was hired, not an academic with experience running a university system.

I edited this after I found another picture. The man on the left is my late father who served during the Korean Conflict. On the right is my late grandfather, who served in many WWII theaters, including the Battle of the Bulge.

Well it was only a matter of time before the copycat protest began.  This was my biggest fear with how the University caved.

So after they started digging they found some things very interesting:

 

1.  No one has a picture of the swastika

2.  The student president that claimed the KKK was on campus came out and said he lied and retracted his facebook post

3.  The student who started this and fasted lost his schools health insurance from the university because Obamacare did not allow it when you are a grad student.  He was required to buy his own on the exchange.

 

This whole thing sounds like a bunch of whiny kids whom want to stir stuff up and don't want to face the realities of society.

 

One other thing...they are making "black only healing zones" and your first amendment rights are forbidden in these areas because the black students think they stir up trouble.  These are in the public buildings at the universities.  Tell me that is not racist.  If you watch this clip below, The Student VP does not know what freedom of speech is.  She thinks because she doesn't agree with it, her feelings are enough for it to be stopped.

Quote:And you accuse me of pointing to unrelated topics in argument? But, wait, because you're doing it, it's related, right? Defend it. Please. I can't wait to see you try and convince us all that false rape charges are the same thing as a documented culture of racism.
 

You do realize that documented should include some form of documentation right?  This is why liberals don't like due process.  If you want to demonstrate a documented culture then you would need a specific recording of instances with details and descriptions to prove actionable complaints were made and ignored.  That's not what you have in the article above, what you have are nameless anecdotes.  What the heck could a chancellor have done about some random truck that may or may not have belonged to a student?

 

Moreover, your contention is that the culture of racism was so hardly established and so frequent in its discrimination and hate speech that they had to FABRICATE the inciting incident of this whole bogus hunger strike.  That's pretty weak.  In the context of a city two hours down the road burning itself to the ground because of a false narrative about hands up dont shout its frankly another pathetic example of how far the left will divorce itself from the truth to advance their narrative.

In another thread i remember reading the line "We believe that in a space that is trying to be as free as possible that free speech is in essence hate speech and should be forbidden."  

 

1.) It's amazing how the constitution becomes a meaningless piece of paper whenever the left deigns for it to happen.  

 

 

2.) Its really alarming that more and more on college campuses you have students gleefully rejoicing to the suspension of first amendment rights as a gateway to totalitarianism just because they think it may serve their short term purposes.  

 

What the BLEEP are they teaching these kids?  Oh yeh, I forgot.  That America is just a bunch of rich white racist biggot homophobe good time rock and rollers and who cares about the constitution anyway because in the preamble it states that you're only 3/5ths of a person.  

 

Now that's change you can believe in!

That's your "documented" incidents of racism?  "an anonymous post on social media - likely written by students".  How can something be both anonymous yet have "likely" authors identified?  And why do they think the post has multiple authors?

 

The swastika is undocumented.  The report of a racial epithet from a pickup truck is hearsay.  Also to be considered is a long history of some groups perpetuating their own alleged victim-hood, especially on college campuses, with numerous false flag attacks.  I can document dozens of these faked events.

I don't see how there aren't pictures of the feces swastika or the supposed cottonballs laid near the cultural center when every college kid has a cell phone now. They instagram every single thing they do but no one has a picture of any of this stuff.

The cottonball thing was 5 years ago, but the acts of racism are cleary documented and rampant because they say so.

This whole thing is pretty similar to the failed "Occupy Wall Street" movement.  Look at the lunacy that is prevalent on many college campuses today.  There is an article on breitbart.com that contains several links, videos and images of a bunch of student "activists" related to this.  I would post a link, but some of the protest signs have language on them that is against the CoC.

 

From the article.

Quote: 

A statement from the activists reads: “We are people of all colors, genders, and sexual orientation, and we are united to fight for education as a human right.” Protesters are calling for tuition-free public college, cancellation of student debt, and a $15 minimum wage for college workers… plus a lot of other stuff about “straight white male patriarchy” and rape culture on campus.
 

These people want to "create" certain rights, while saying that the First Amendment creates a "hostile and unsafe" learning environment.  That comes from the University of Missouri student body VP.

 

Clearly this is a bunch of spoiled, coddled, uneducated kids that are just now starting to learn what the real world is like.

Are the students going to college really this dumb?  They think everything can be free?  Do they not realize simple economics?

Unfortunately to answer your question, yes they are that dumb.  Guess who supports Bernie Sanders and would throw support behind the likes of Elizabeth Warren?

 

It's funny watching her facial expressions as well as the "umm... ahh...." answers that the attempts to give.

 

Some of her quotes that she doesn't realize contradicts her group's demands are funny such as "The U.S. is a bastion of capitalism and it's success".

 

She says that her parents, family and friends would be happy to pay more to meet her group's demands, then says that she comes from a working class family that is on several forms of government assistance.

 

What is disturbing is that she said that if we get to the point where the "1% is taxed at 100% then we are on the road to socialism" and she took delight in that idea.

What's really interesting is because we all have biases and preconceived notions, how we hear other people talk about things we don't agree with and we think they are dumb.

It has nothing to do with bias or preconceived notions on my part.  Watching and listening to this college student as well as others formed my opinion.

 

Here is something to ponder.  What do groups such as this "million student march" or "occupy Wallstreet" have in common?  The answer is that they all "demand, demand, demand" or more specifically "want, want, want".

 

In our society, if you want a higher education then you work for it and make it happen.  If you want to earn a higher salary then you work to make that happen.  Nothing is given in the real world, it must be earned.

 

You know the words I'm sure.  "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

 

The "right" to a higher education does not exist.  The "right" to anything is not granted by government.
