how is a few morons throwing the N-word around "systematic"? how is a moron drawing a symbol in his own shite "systematic"? where is the evidence of intent by the administrators of that university to discriminate against minorities by policy and/or implied policy?


the kicker is there is no evidence any of this stuff occurred.

of course

and even if they existed, one was an isolated, random incident OFF campus

when you don't punish those who create false stories (which exist), you incentivize those seeking social justice brownie points to create/inflate facts in order to peacock their oppression (to justify their protests to get the attention they seek)

Which came first - the drug addicts and sellers herd, or the failed attempt at controlling said herd?

I guess I should have prefaced this by saying I'm not trying to pick a side here, because I think the WOD is a stupid, stupid policy that has failed miserably. I just don't think blame is entirely on one side of this issue.

anyone could walk on to any campus, building, concert, conference or any other gathering of large groups of people, at any time, and eventually one would witness somebody calling somebody else a deragatory name, either directly or in a descriptive conversation

this is not new, nor is it racism. this is ignorance and poor manners

the later, all of that stuff was "legal" at some point or at least unknown, it was made illegal based mostly on fear mongering and lies mostly by well intentioned do gooders. The WOD however is 100% about using fear to gain power, we need to "get tough" on crime, so yes, i think the blame is 100% on 1 side.

I totally agree with that. But the question still remains - is it racist?

Um... there's a police report in which the sheriff claims he saw the poop swastika. That's a pretty good piece of evidence. Just sayin'.

*ETA: Here's a tweet with an image of the police report with the quote "A swastika was drawn on the wall using feces." LINK


I'm not reading a Whitlock column, BTW. That guy is the hackiest of hacks. He's a professional troll, and taking anything he says seriously is a dangerous game.

I mean, you couldn't link to a GOOD writer who is critical of the Mizzou story? It's not that hard, there's plenty out there. That's like, in the wake of an LSU loss, ignoring all of the legit columns and re-posting the one by Gilbeau. Stop it. Ignore the trolls. Whitlock only cares about one thing: the cult of Whitlock.

The only other guy kicking arse on this is master troll Clay Travis, so your choices are limited.

I stand corrected then. Interesting that in this day and age there is no picture and also are we sure this wasn't done by an activist to create out rage? That's happened before too.

And what are they wanting the U Pres to do? Hold and investigation to find this person and the guys yelling the n-word from a truck?

yes the media cult is really trying to coerce its cohorts to continue to proliferate the social justice angle and ignore all the issues. a guy like clay travis is protected, but many who don't have his job (owned by Fox no less) are not and they can't risk reporting the truth in light of the hailstorm of reaction that will be shite upon them

this bullshite at Mizzou is so bad that it could be a turning point in how the moderates view the Big Left/regressives, so they are cashing in their chips to keep spinning this to protect the actual reality of the situation

it's pretty much the majority of the large racist incidents these days

when you hear something so outwardly racist that it makes you go "wait what?" it's almost assuredly a SJW creating a scene

also, i'm going to create a law that when a representative of Big Left policy brings up the threat of the KKK, you can basically dismiss their credibility altogether. the KKK is nothing these days and the Big Left wants SO BAD for there to be a KKK to threaten people with

Even if the poop swastika existed...

So the frick what?

Even if a drunk kid stumbled into a group and said the N word, and then got expelled...

So the frick what?

Even if a random red neck did scream the N word out a window...

So the frick what?

well to get back to the article

whitlock is correct that even if these 3 examples did occur, that's not racism (as it is now defined by the Big Left)

3 random incidents, one that occurred off campus and one using an anti-semetic (not anti-black) symbol doesn't display institutional issues

Sure. that's possible. But I was an RA a long, long time ago at LSU, and someone wrote the N word in one of the showers with poop. We didn't take pictures. We didn't call the media either, we just yelled at the residents for being a bunch of disgusting assholes. Even a dog has the sense not to shite where it sleeps. I also did not become an incident involving the president of LSU. We just made everybody take a shift cleaning the showers as punishment (sans poop, it was already dealt with), and we moved on with our lives.

Yeah, I found their demands to be fairly childish. They lead off with "admit your white privilege". Whatever. How about you lead with something substantive?

I do think the president got in trouble not for there being incidents, but for several tone deaf responses. I don't really care about who is president at Mizzou, so I have no skin in the game. I've got a few buddies who are Mizzou grads, and they tell me that they were upset with him for essentially a series of PR missteps and a decline in general morale among alumni and students. That's part of his job: keeping the alums happy. And once this became a national story, he had to step down mainly for letting this become a national story. He bungled the PR response, and his job is based on PR and fundraising. Sorry. but it is.

And as soon as the alums were pissed and ready to stop writing checks, well... you don't get to be in charge anymore. Fair or unfair.

What's not shocking at all is that this is happening at Mizzou. Not because they are racist, but actually the opposite. The black arse-kissing/envy from whites that goes on in the Midwest is the reason this is an issue. Like they cannot just be themselves. Plus a lot of blacks in the Midwest feel like they have something to prove. They have a lot of insecurities. No one is talking about brothers in KC or Minneapolis. They try too hard.
