It is a shame nobody will stop them. When will this end? I wonder how many of these "black justice league" members have ever actually been oppressed or lived in a situation where they experienced true struggle? This "microagression" crap has to end.

Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

LOS ANGELES — Campus safety officers at Occidental College are denouncing a demand by a student activists that they stop wearing bulletproof vests. The police do not carry weapons, and bulletproof vests are their only protection.
A professor who did not wish to be named told Breitbart News that he supported the students’ demand regarding bulletproof vests, because “the vests here are just indicative of the increasing armament of police forces around he country.”

 

One black female student named Dionne told Breitbart News that”we are extremely tired of being marginalized on this campus.” She said that she and fellow black students face micro- and macro-aggressions on campus nearly daily, and claimed that some students are stopped by campus security based solely on their color, and are questioned as to whether they are students there.

Well that's just dumb. They're not protesting the way things are done, not trying to affect any meaningful change, just trying to remove the name of a post-Civil War President, not a slaveowner or member of a hate group, whose ideas they happened to disagree with from a building.

 

Personally, I find the concept of teaching economics in a high school named after Herbert Hoover far more offensive.

So let me get this straight: they make vague, unsubstantiated comments about racial discrimination, but instead choose to focus their argument on taking Kevlar vests (which virtually every officer in the country wears, btw) off of campus police because...unicorns and raibows?

One young student at Georgia Southern University (GSU) is learning the consequences for publicly criticizing the racially-charged protests at the University of Missouri after being fired from her job and having a number of her fellow classmates demand her expulsion.

 

Emily Faz, a senior at the public university, shared a November 14 Washington Times article on Monday that reported on how some Mizzou protesters and Black Lives Matter activists were upset that the Paris attacks were stealing the media spotlight.

 

Faz wrote above the link, “I swear if I see this B.S. at Southern I will make you regret even knowing what a movement or a hashtag is, and you’ll walk away with your tail tucked.”

 

She continued on to say, “The whole black lives matter movement is misguided and out of hand. Maybe no one likes or takes y’all seriously because no one can see past your egotistical [BLEEP]. Some people might just look past it, but fair warning I am not one. All lives matter, that has always been the case, and you part of the problem if you think other wise [sic].”\\

 

The GSU NAACP staged a “Black Out, Walk Out” on Tuesday in response to Faz’s post and issued demands to the school. Those demands included hiring more black professors and expanding the African Studies program. “I think it’s important to know the difference between freedom of speech and a threat, and it seems like when it comes from a white student at this school, that sometimes the line is being blurred because of who it comes from,” KeyAnna Tate, a participant in the walk out, told the Statesboro Herald. Some of these student activists called for Faz to be expelled and the school president, Jean Bartels, issued a statement on the matter and acknowledged the numerous calls for disciplinary action to be taken against the offending co-ed. Bartels appeared to conclude Faz’s post was protected by the First Amendment and could not result in punishment. However, the young student appears to have lost her job at the local Wild Wing Cafe franchise over the controversy, according to Everything Georgia. Some activists had urged supporters to call the restaurant about Faz prior to her dismissal.

It is interesting how the most "powerless" minority in America has enough power to bully and silence opposition without any push-back.

Show me a quote from a black group about being powerless. That's not to challenge you; it's so that I can email them a picture of an Arabic Muslim.

Rhe funny thing is, a 95% constituency among blacks is the only reason wilsons political ideology (progressivism) exists. It is the central theort that the income tax is the only way to achieve income equality and government regulTion by disinterested third parties insures fairness for the working man. These two tennants were central to podt vitong rights 65 marketting of democrat policy to black people.


On another note, if these people ever figure out who margaret sanger really was then all hell might break loose!

He should be tossed for his continuing socialist legacy in this country, nothing so silly as racism from 100  years ago.

I wonder how many of those complaining about political correctness also felt that there shouldn't be a Ground Zero Mosque.  I see nothing wrong with a peaceful protest of something people find objectionable, and trying to affect change.  It's not a change i necessarily agree with (there's ones I personally find more important, but I'm not part of the black community at Princeton so what's important to them will inevitably be different from what's important to me)


I was wrong about Trent Baalke.
