UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI PROTESTS GROW AFTER ATHLETES JUMP IN

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_UNIVERSITY_OF_MISSOURI_TURMOIL?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-11-09-07-30-50

Long-simmering protests at the University of Missouri over matters of race and discrimination got a boost over the weekend when at least 30 black football players announced they will not participate in team activities until the university system's president is removed.

For months, black student groups have complained of racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white, 35,000-student flagship campus of the four-college system. Frustrations flared during a homecoming parade Oct. 10 when black protesters blocked system President Tim Wolfe's car and he would not get out and talk to them. They were removed by police.

On Saturday night, black members of the football team joined the outcry. By Sunday, a campus sit-in had grown in size, graduate student groups planned walkouts, politicians began to weigh in, and a special meeting of the university system's governing body was set for Monday morning in Columbia.

Wolfe hasn't indicated he has any intention of stepping down, but agreed in a statement Sunday that "change is needed" and said the university is working to draw up a plan by April to promote diversity and tolerance.

The athletes did not say explicitly whether they would boycott the team's three remaining games this season. The Tigers' next game is Saturday against Brigham Young University at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, and canceling it could cost the school more than $1 million.

"The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe 'Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere,'" the players said in a statement. "We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students' experience. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!"

Head football coach Gary Pinkel expressed solidarity on Twitter, posting a picture of the team and coaches locking arms. The tweet said: "The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players."

Practice and other team activities were canceled Sunday, Pinkel and Missouri athletic director Mack Rhoades said in a joint statement. The statement linked the return of the protesting football players to the end of a hunger strike by a black graduate student who began the effort Nov. 2 and has vowed to not eat until Wolfe is gone.

"Our focus right now is on the health of Jonathan Butler, the concerns of our student-athletes and working with our community to address this serious issue," the statement said.

The protests began after the student government president, who is black, said in September that people in a passing pickup truck shouted racial slurs at him. In early October, members of a black student organization said slurs were hurled at them by an apparently drunken white student.

Also, a swastika drawn in feces was found recently in a dormitory bathroom.

Many of the protests have been led by an organization called Concerned Student 1950, which gets its name from the year the university accepted its first black student. Its members besieged Wolfe's car at the parade, and they have been conducting a sit-in on a campus plaza since last Monday.

Two trucks flying Confederate flags drove past the site Sunday afternoon, a move many saw as an attempt at intimidation. At least 150 students gathered at the plaza Sunday night to pray, sing and read Bible verses, a larger crowd than on previous days. Many planned to camp there overnight, despite temperatures that had dropped into the upper 30s.

Also joining in the protest effort are two graduate student groups that called for walkouts Monday and Tuesday.

Concerned Student 1950 has demanded, among other things, that Wolfe "acknowledge his white male privilege," that he is immediately removed, and that the school adopt a mandatory racial-awareness program and hire more black faculty and staff.

One of the sit-in participants, Abigail Hollis, a black undergraduate, said the campus is "unhealthy and unsafe for us."

"The way white students are treated is in stark contrast to the way black students and other marginalized students are treated, and it's time to stop that," Hollis said. "It's 2015."

Columbia is about 120 miles west of Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb where tensions erupted over the shooting death of unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown last year by a white police officer.

The school's undergraduate population is 79 percent white and 8 percent black. The state is about 83 percent white and nearly 12 percent black.

Wolfe, 56, is a former software executive and Missouri business school graduate whose father taught at the university. He was hired in 2011 as president, succeeding another former business executive who also lacked experience in academia.

He said Sunday that most of the group's demands have already been incorporated into the university's draft plan for promoting tolerance.

"It is clear to all of us that change is needed," he said.

Already, at Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin's request, the university announced plans to require diversity training for all new students starting in January, along with faculty and staff.

Lawmakers and elected officials began to weigh in Sunday. The chairman of a Missouri House higher education committee, Poplar Bluff Republican Rep. Steven Cookson, said in a statement that Wolfe "can no longer effectively lead" and should leave his post. Joining him in calling for Wolfe's resignation was Assistant House Minority Leader Gail McCann Beatty, the highest-ranking black member of that chamber.

Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon said the university must address the concerns so that the school is "a place where all students can pursue their dreams in an environment of respect, tolerance and inclusion."

U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri graduate, said the governing board needs to "send a clear message" to the students at the Columbia campus that they'll address racism.

The Board of Curators, the system's governing body, said in a statement that it planned to meet Monday morning. According to an agenda, part of the meeting will be closed to the public.

Missouri law allows the group to meet in a private "executive session" to discuss topics including privileged communications with university counsel or personnel matters, the statement said. A system spokesman didn't respond to questions about the meeting.

The racial issues are just the latest controversy at the university in recent months, following the suspension of graduate students' health care subsidies and an end to university contracts with a Planned Parenthood clinic that performs abortions.

[helmuth_hubener]

It's telling that the article gives absolutely no grievance against the university head. The protesters' demand that he resign is repeated and repeated, about five times in the short article, maybe as many as ten, but not even once is there a single basis given for the demand. What did the university head do that was so unforgivable and racist? Apparently nothing.

These guys are just blowing off steam. It is they who are casting baseless, ugly slurs, attempting to destroy the career of a good, innocent man whose only crime is his race. And the AP is only too delighted to help them do it.

[RonPaulMall]

This story exemplifies why Rand is having such a hard time gaining traction. The Left is getting more loony and aggressive than ever, and Rand's "outreach" this past year puts him on the wrong side of a monumental backlash. God forbid the press asks Trump about this nonsense. He'll kill it and shoot up 10 points in the polls.

[specsaregood]

Good, dont' play your silly football games and give up any athletic scholarships you have.

[surf]

isn't this the school that put in a wave pool?

the most disappointing aspect of college students these days is that they bitch and moan about and expect others to pay for their hyper inflated tuition rates, but none of them question why the hell their tuition is so bloody high.

"Student 1950" (WTF is that?) used all the appropriate buzz words and by golly you, and those like you, had damn well better capitulate or there'll be no more foo-ball.....:rolleyes:

This is a successful test case.

This will be coming to an institution near you in time.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI PRESIDENT RESIGNS OVER RACE COMPLAINTS

http://www.breitbart.com/sports/2015/11/09/university-of-missouri-system-president-resigns-amid-criticism-of-handling-of-racial-issues/


The president of the University of Missouri system stepped down Monday amid criticism of his handling of student complaints about race and discrimination.
President Tim Wolfe said his resignation was effective immediately. He made the announcement at the start of what had been expected to be a lengthy closed-door meeting of the school’s governing board. He largely pre-empted that session in a halting statement that was simultaneously apologetic, clumsy and defiant.

“This is not the way change comes about,” he said, alluding to recent protests. “We stopped listening to each other.”

He urged students, faculty and staff to “use my resignation to heal and start talking again to make the changes necessary.”

A poor audio feed for the one board member who was attending the meeting via conference call left Wolfe standing awkwardly at the podium for nearly three minutes after only being able to read the first sentence of his statement.

The race complaints came to a head over the weekend when at least 30 black football players announced they would not participate in team activities until Wolfe was gone.

For months, black student groups have complained of racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white flagship campus of the state’s four-college system. Frustrations flared during a homecoming parade Oct. 10 when black protesters blocked Wolfe’s car, and he did not get out and talk to them. They were removed by police.

Black members of the football team joined the outcry on Saturday night. By Sunday, a campus sit-in had grown in size, graduate student groups planned walkouts and politicians began to weigh in.

Until Monday, Wolfe did not indicate that he had any intention of stepping down. He agreed in a statement issued Sunday that “change is needed” and said the university was working to draw up a plan by April to promote diversity and tolerance.

The Tigers’ next game is Saturday against Brigham Young University at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, and canceling it could cost the school more than $1 million.

“The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe ‘Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere,'” the players said in a statement. “We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students’ experience.

At least 150 students gathered at the plaza Sunday night to pray, sing and read Bible verses, a larger crowd than on previous days. Many planned to camp there overnight, despite temperatures that had dropped into the upper 30s.

Also joining in the protest effort were two graduate student groups that called for walkouts Monday and Tuesday and the student government at the Columbia campus, the Missouri Students Association.

The association said in a letter Sunday to the system’s governing body that there had been “an increase in tension and inequality with no systemic support” since last year’s fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, which is about 120 miles east of Columbia.

Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, was shot and killed by a white police officer during a struggle, and his death helped spawn the “Black Lives Matter” movement rebuking police treatment of minorities.

The association said Wolfe heads a university leadership that “has undeniably failed us and the students that we represent.”

“He has not only enabled a culture of racism since the start of his tenure in 2012, but blatantly ignored and disrespected the concerns of students,” the group wrote.

Concerned Student 1950 has demanded, among other things, that Wolfe “acknowledge his white male privilege,” that he is immediately removed, and that the school adopt a mandatory racial-awareness program and hire more black faculty and staff.

One of the sit-in participants, Abigail Hollis, a black undergraduate, said the campus is “unhealthy and unsafe for us.”

It isn't college students. The vast majority of the students think these fringe groups are nuts. It is the Baby Boomer elite that empowers them and gives these groups their power, not the students.

[specsaregood]

So basically this guy was pressured to resign because he was white?

[helmuth_hubener]

So basically this guy was pressured to resign because he was white?

And didn't get out of his car when surrounded by a blockade of harassing hoodlums.

Of course, erowe will be stopping in shortly to point out how racist I am for assuming they were hoodlums. "Because you know nothing about them, Helmuth. Just because they were surrounding this guy's car doesn't mean they were behaving badly. Just like just because those black ladies were so loud, drunk, and obnoxious on the wine train that they were kicked off doesn't mean they were behaving badly. You're just a racist." Yeah right.

Maybe I should resign, too.

Disgust and contempt is all I have for the whole thing. Our
"institutions of learning" are teaching insanity.

[tod evans]

Here's the list of demands;



I. We demand that the University of Missouri System President, Tim Wolfe, writes a handwritten apology to the Concerned Student 1-*9-*5-0 demonstrators and holds a press conference in the Mizzou Student Center reading the letter. In the letter and at the press conference, Tim Wolfe must acknowledge his white male privilege, recognize that systems of oppression exist, and provide a verbal commitment to fulfilling Concerned Student 1-9-5-*0 demands. We want Tim Wolfe to admit to his gross negligence, allowing his driver to hit one of the demonstrators, consenting to the physical violence of bystanders, and lastly refusing to intervene when Columbia Police Department used excessive force with demonstrators.

III. We demand that the University of Missouri meets the Legion of Black Collegians' demands that were presented in 1969 for the betterment of the black community.

IV. We demand that the University of Missouri creates and enforces comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum throughout all campus departments and units, mandatory for all students, faculty, staff, and administration. This curriculum must be vetted, maintained, and overseen by a board comprised of students, staff, and faculty of color.

V. We demand that by the academic year 2017-2018, the University of Missouri increases the percentage of black faculty and staff campus-wide to 10%.

Shut it down.

[helmuth_hubener]

They just cribbed this off the demands from some other university's punks (I can't find which one right now -- I thought it was an upper-Midwest school, maybe in Indiana or Ohio). Plagiarism. They couldn't even be original in their stupidity.

Ahh, here we go: Cincinnati. They're just ripping off the Cincinnati whiners (http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/10/15/ucs-irate8-release-10-demands-for-school-officials/73996344/). At least Cincinnati had an actual police abuse incident to give a semi-comprehensible reason for their outrage, as unchanneled, irrational and entitlement-mentality as its expression may have been. The U of M clowns are just... unfit. It infuriates me that anyone would cave in to these low-lives' demands. They are unfit to be at an institution of allegedly higher learning. They are an embarrassment. They obviously should have just kicked every boycotting player off the team, out of their dorms, and out of the school. See ya! You were feeling abused and mistreated? You feel like our university is a horrible, bigoted place? Now you don't have to put up with our "bigotry" any more. Celebrate! Elsewhere.

[helmuth_hubener]

From the U of Cincinnati:

I. We demand that the University of Cincinnati immediately restrict Philip Kidd and David Lindenschmidt from patrolling on or off of campus.

II. We demand that the University of Cincinnati enforces a fully funded comprehensive racial awareness curriculum that is mandatory for all students, community members and administrators.

III. We demand that the University of Cincinnati conducts holistic profiles including extensive background checks, mental evaluations, and accounts of past misbehaviors of all faculty/staff/police hired at the University of Cincinnati, starting immediately.

IV. We demand a recurrent substantial monetary allotment to go to all offices and initiatives that directly support and impact the recruitment, retention, and matriculation of Black students on this campus, starting in the Fiscal Year 2017.

V. We demand that the University of Cincinnati allocate appointed voting student senate seats in Student Government from selected representatives from underrepresented communities (race, sexuality, and gender). Additionally, Student Government must report their composition each year including race, gender, sexual orientation, and other self identifying information for each faction.

VI. We demand that the University of Cincinnati hire at minimum 12 senior Black faculty over the next 3 years, starting today, October 14, 2015. [Good luck finding that many black PhDs. Maybe they can just hire undergraduates and they can all staff the new School of Racial Awareness that the clowns demand.]

VII. We demand the University of Cincinnati doubles the amount of Black students on main campus over the next 3 years, starting today, October 14, 2015.

VIII. We demand that the University of Cincinnati builds a stand alone AACRC or renovates in order for all of 60 W. Charlton to belong to the AACRC by August 1, 2018.

IX. We demand that there exist a SACUB funded student organization devoted to diversity initiatives and programming that promote cultural awareness, sensitivity, and competence by the start of the 2017 2018 academic year.

X. We demand that the University of Cincinnati divest from any companies involved in the operation of private prisons and establish a Socially Responsible Investment Committee (or at least adopting a socially responsible investment policy) for all investment transactions by the start of the 2017 2018 Academic year.


In other words, we just want cushier buildings, more mandatory brainwashing, more massive quotas, and lots and lots of money. That's all.

Civilization is crashing, crashing all around.

MU Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin to step down at end of this year

http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article43827399.html

R. Bowen Loftin announced late Monday that he will step down at the end of this year as chancellor of the University of Missouri’s Columbia campus.

Loftin will move to a role coordinating research on the campus.

The announcement came hours after University of Missouri System president Tim Wolfe resigned.

Loftin’s departure followed a report in the Columbia Tribune that the deans of nine different MU departments have requested his dismissal.

The Tribune reported Monday afternoon that the deans sent a letter to the Board of Curators saying they wanted to express “our deep concern about the multitude of crises on our flagship campus.” The letter called for Loftin’s dismissal.

The nine deans met on Oct. 9 and on Oct. 13 met with Wolfe, Loftin and Provost Garnett Stokes to express their concerns, according to the letter.

“The issues we raised in those meetings have continued to deteriorate into a campus crisis that demands immediate and decisive action,” they wrote. “It is the Chancellor’s responsibility as the Chief Executive Officer of the campus to effectively address these campus issues.”

Loftin, the former president of Texas A&M University, has been chancellor at MU since February 2014.

The letter is signed by Daniel Clay, dean of the College of Education; Kristofer Hagglund, dean of the School of Health Professions; David Kurpius, dean of the School of Journalism; Judith Miller, dean of the Sinclair School of Nursing; Gary Myers, dean of the School of Law; Neil Olson, dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine; Michael O’Brien, dean of the College of Arts and Science; Thomas Payne, dean of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources; and Barton Wechsler, dean of the Truman School of Public Affairs.

The deans said Loftin has shown failed leadership through a number of instances, including the elimination and eventual reinstatement of graduate assistant health insurance and the elimination of the vice chancellor for health sciences position. The deans claim Loftin created a “toxic environment through threat, fear and intimidation.”

The letters come less than a week after Department of English faculty members set a letter to Wolfe and the Curators with a similar vote of no confidence in Loftin. The English faculty cast 26 votes of no confidence, zero votes of confidence and two abstentions. The English Department was the first to publicly call for Loftin’s dismissal.

Sam Cohen, an associate professor with the English Department, said the faculty members hoped their letter would encourage other departments to voice their opinions.



Here's the top comment when I read this article; :rolleyes:




Susan Selby Pepperdine · University of Missouri
Hospital privileges should also be restored to the one doctor able to do abortions in Columbia. Without reproductive freedom many students will have to drop out of college.

The school's undergraduate population is 79 percent white and 8 percent black. The state is about 83 percent white and nearly 12 percent black.

I wonder what the % of blacks on the football team is? Maybe we need to adjust that down to reflect their % of the general population.

Yes!! Great idea!!

Missouri should be dropped from the Conference as punishment for giving in .That would cost them millions and be appropriate .

Maybe BYU should refuse to play them. They already dropped out of all conferences and so are independent and can do whatever they want!

The school shoulda called their bluff; no way were all those players going to give up their opportunity to play at arrowhead stadium.

[LibertyEagle]

This is nuts. They should bench the football players making the demands, at the very least. Taking away their football scholarships, if they keep on.

To cower to them and the students who are making the outrageous demands is just encouraging this crap. Let them demand their little hearts out, but no way should the university bend to them.

hmmm..interesting. So, we have the words ****** being smeared on walls with human shit, cotton balls littering the campus, people using the word ****** aimed at black students. Whats the solution to get these people doing this?....strongly worded letters?...a police investigation?...hope that it stops, or meh..kids will be kids, who cares, let it go?...

Ron Paul supports peaceful civil dis-obedience...seems hitting the university where it counts is effective...so whats the problem?

Talking or littering?

Should the "getting" include ridicule or maybe violence?

What if the people who dared utter the verboten word "niqquer" were actually engaged in civil disobedience?

You hope it stops?

WTF?

What "situation"?

I find this group of students and staff demanding special treatment far more offensive than some juvenile prank or utterance.

These idiots are demanding segregation based on race, they're demanding representation based on race.

Their forefathers didn't like being excluded because of their race now these folks want to be excluded from normal life and have special privileges granted because of their race.

I honestly hope the townspeople lynch their mayor and give the whole damn school walking papers....

Given my druthers the townspeople would run the lot of 'em out on rails and burn their buildings starting with the Foo-ball stadium...

Don't worry though if you watch the mayor's speech from yesterday he's smack-dab in the middle of it, down on his knees for both air time and tax dollars.

University of Missouri Police Ask Students to Report ‘Hurtful Speech’

http://www.mediaite.com/online/university-of-missouri-police-ask-students-to-report-hurtful-speech/

The Missouri University Police Department (MUPD) sent an email to students Tuesday morning urging them to call them and report any hurtful speech they encounter on the campus.

In an email that was flagged by several Missouri-based journalists, the MUPD asked “individuals who witness incidents of hateful and/or hurtful speech or actions” to call the department’s general phone line “to continue to ensure that the University of Missouri campus remains safe.” They suggest that students provide a detailed description of the offender, their location or license plate number, and even to take a picture if possible.


In the email, MUPD readily admits that hurtful or hateful speech is not against the law. But, they write, “if the individuals identified are students, MU’s Office of Student Conduct can take disciplinary action.”

In a statement to Mediaite, the MUPD confirmed that the email was real. When asked about the potential First Amendment implications, a spokesman responded simply, “We are simply asking them to report what they feel is hurtful and/or hateful speech.”

He added that the police did not consider the hateful speech “a criminal matter.” However, “We also work for the University and uphold the Universities Rules and Regulations.”

The email comes one day after University President Tim Wolfe and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin resigned under pressure from students and faculty alike for what they considered a lackluster response to racial incidents. The same day, protesters and members of the media clashed, with protesters declaring a “no media safe space.”

[alucard13mm]

Problem is these students are protesting for special treatment by forcing the university in hiring "colored" people and probably to admit more colored people. They also seem to protest for more authoritative controls like reporting "hate" speech to police.

While its in their right to protest, they are our enemies because what they protest is against freedom and true equality.

so you actually side with and support those smearing shit on walls and using rascist terminology and littering the campus with cotton balls towards black students?

just another day eh...haha...funny to you? Well, I am against vandalism and generally in support of niceness. So I can't say I side with and support vandals or not-nice people. But... niceness is subjective. What does that even mean, cotton balls, by the way? I've never heard of such a thing. And seriously, who cares! I mean, is their skin that thin? It's embarrassing. Man up, that's what I say. I don't think Booker T. Washington would have cried and boo hooed and then threatened and gotten vicious and made all kinds of embarrassing nonsensical demands all because he had to step over some cotton balls or because people called him names. Of course people called him names. Everybody calls each other names. That's people. Paultards, I mean Paulbots, I mean selfish Randroid libertarian pigs get called names sometimes, for instance.

Just man up. That's my advice to these whiny, embarrassing blackmail artists.

Oh, and here's another pro tip: if you've got a gripe with someone, take it up with him! Settle it with the guy who actually did you wrong. Somebody is calling you names? So get up in his face and call him one back. Have it out with him. Do whatever you have to do. That's how men do it. But to whine to totally unrelated parties like the University President, like a little girl? Grow up.

given the history of slavery, lynchings, and general disparity with regards to drug arrests, police abuse etc.. and Rand has brought this up a time or two, i can fully sympathize with black people having 'thin skin' as you put it, especially when these 'latest' incidents of provocation have been made public, so i'm a bit confused over the lack of empathy in this case.

You have a point. However the problem probably stems from a mere handful of people who have the same mentality of your average internet troll rather than the whole MU system. They do it because they love getting a reaction, and boy did they...

The is a good chance the perps could be liberal or even black. Agent provocateurs are nothing new. So instead of chasing vandals, we have a whole class of victims, we get a college president fired and a bunch of people who did nothing wrong wallowing in white guilt. FTS!

white guilt is a new term designed to marginalize people with morals.

Still on topic......

These "people" (the whole lot) are screaming for special privileges in a government funded institution for only a few using race as a criteria, how can you possibly square that with equality?

I can't see any difference in treating somebody as special because of their nationality or what's between their legs let alone what might have happened to someone in their family back X generations ago, either treat people the same or don't but if you don't then shut the fuck up when somebody else gets special treatment.....

Look, if the foo-ball players (and their liberal posse) were being classy about it, that would be one thing. Then the only thing to be upset about would be the mean people vandalizing stuff. And to the extent I would care, I would side with these blacks that are supposedly being mistreated.

The second part of the story is that a few blacks and, mostly, their leftist posse decided to declare a Holy Social Justice Jihad. They issue an ultimatum with a list of demands. A mob of hooligans surround the school's prez's car while he's inside it. They go around holding press conferences and generally making a ruckus and making fools of themselves. The leftist posse convinces the black football players to boycott football until... what? All demands are met, I guess.

I mean, this is just embarrassing. And note again: it is a few blacks participating in this. Frankly, if I were a black student at U of M who was there to actually, you know, learn or some junk like that, I would be ready to go ballistic on these jokers. Because now I'm lumped in with them, these cretinous fools. They would be a total embarrassment to me. So really, the black U of M students are the ones with the biggest grievance against these SJWs, making them a national laughingstock; the whole university population does, but especially the blacks.

I can't, no I won't, back somebody because of their race.

You do whatever makes you feel right but don't count me as an advocate in this or any other incident that demands preferential treatment of one race over another.

Real anger.............Have you been in the military? Worked a government funded job with EEO quotas?

Foo-ball !!

IU beat them soundly last season , which proves they suck . LOL

[UWDude]

LoL
And this is where it all just gets so god damned stupid.
I thought it would be a police beating, rough handling of protesters, perhaps a suspension of a black student based upon paranoid reports by white students... ...or something, but nope, apparently, students are mad they were called racial slurs by anonymous drunk white guys... ...so they are going to demand the president of the college step down. I thought it was great the football players were boycotting games, "how brave" I thought, but only a few days later did I look into the issues they were protesting... ..which is... ...random drunk frat boys yelling insults.

Seriously, there is absolutely nothing left to mourn over. this country is finished. And I will not shed one tear for 95% of Americans, when they realize how suddenly everything is crashing down.

However, if there is one thing I learned from occupy, and I am starting to see the proof of it:
The media will take any movement, and frame it incorrectly. So who knows, maybe there were grievous injustices, and the media has just chosen whoever they wanted to be "the leaders" and issued these weird people's "demands". I just read an article where the students are quite hostile to the media. If there was something more frustrating than anything about Occupy, it was the way the media portrayed it. In fact, I was reminded today, on the way to work: I saw a heroin needle in the parking lot, and it reminded me how once a heroin needle was found outside our camp... ..and pretty soon, that actually became a news story, as if heroin needles in Seattle are newsworthy.

But, I also just had the displeasure of working with one of the "check your privilege" types, a white woman, (of course). I am pretty sure she faked tasks such as cleaning, because she thought I told her to do it because she was female, not because she was useless and untrained at the rest of the job. She was quite the feminist... ..and the WORST employee I ever had. She actually skipped two scheduled days of work, then tried to come in the next scheduled day, clock in, and start working, as if nothing happened.

That said... it doesn't mean white people do not have an advantage over black people. They do. There is far more hostility and distrust of black people than white people. This is reality.

And there was a time, I hoped for reconciliation. But now, let's just get this hate fest started. I can't wait for reality to smack all these materialistic* assholes in the face. I mean.. ...when are the people going to rise up and stop the massive murders of their country worldwide? Never. And that will be their downfall.


so the 'people' who wrote 'niger' in human shit on walls, littered the campus with cotton balls, and verbally attacked black students with a 'word' that is designed to provoke anger, are the friends of Liberty and freedom, is that it?...

As far as I know, these people were never caught, so it is not possible to punish them.
As far as I see it, somebody who insults me from their car should be expelled? Why? because I do not have the right to punch them for it. I have the right to insult them back, but that may lead to violence. They also may outnumber me. Random yelling from a car, I consider a threat (and I've dealt with this before).

But if they are not caught, what is the university supposed to do?

This reminds me of feminists who talk about rape and domestic abuse, as if men in general support such things. It sucks it happens, and I hate it... ..but what do you want me to do about it, especially if the perpetrators are never identified?

But, I also just had the displeasure of working with one of the "check your privilege" types, a white woman, (of course). I am pretty sure she faked tasks such as cleaning, because she thought I told her to do it because she was female, not because she was useless and untrained at the rest of the job. She was quite the feminist... ..and the WORST employee I ever had. She actually skipped two scheduled days of work, then tried to come in the next scheduled day, clock in, and start working, as if nothing happened.

That said... it doesn't mean white people do not have an advantage over black people. They do. There is far more hostility and distrust of black people than white people. This is reality.

And there was a time, I hoped for reconciliation. But now, let's just get this hate fest started. I can't wait for reality to smack all these materialistic* assholes in the face. I mean.. ...when are the people going to rise up and stop the massive murders of their country worldwide? Never. And that will be their downfall.



As far as I know, these people were never caught, so it is not possible to punish them.
As far as I see it, somebody who insults me from their car should be expelled? Why? because I do not have the right to punch them for it. I have the right to insult them back, but that may lead to violence. They also may outnumber me. Random yelling from a car, I consider a threat (and I've dealt with this before).

But if they are not caught, what is the university supposed to do?

This reminds me of feminists who talk about rape and domestic abuse, as if men in general support such things. It sucks it happens, and I hate it... ..but what do you want me to do about it, especially if the perpetrators are never identified?


nothing wrong in sending a message that tells all students to start embracing a tone of civility. Once you start down the road of allowing bully tactics that could and can incite violence whether white, black and asian or any race for that matter, then you reap what you sow. Don't forget, we're dealing with young people here, who by nature are emotional, and impressionable.

Sure, the college President could have had a column about it in the student newspaper. But, to cower to the ridiculous demands made in this case to hire a bunch more black professors, just because they are black and to admit more black students, I guess who cares if they can meet the entrance criteria regarding intelligence. Because why wouldn't they already have been admitted, if they applied and met the requirements; so they must be asking for said requirements to be relaxed. And to top it off, demanding that the college president be fired and he actually being forced out? Seriously?

Bunch of big babies asking for special rights. I can't believe you support this crap JK.

[alucard13mm]

Yeah. I am struggling to see how some people here can support the cause of these BLM people. I hope these SJW and useful idiots will be the first ones to get shot when the elite and rich get bored and finally implement full marxism or facism.

[Cabal]

given the history of slavery, lynchings, and general disparity with regards to drug arrests, police abuse etc.. and Rand has brought this up a time or two, i can fully sympathize with black people having 'thin skin' as you put it, especially when these 'latest' incidents of provocation have been made public, so i'm a bit confused over the lack of empathy in this case. Taking 'sides' is not really the issue, its the lack of common human decency.

Why are you collectivizing black people to assume they must all fear/be affected by chattel slavery and lynchings from a bygone era that college-aged kids have never experienced or been a part of, all on account of their skin color, as an excuse/rationalization for certain reactions, behaviors, or attributes?

ONLINE THREATS HEIGHTEN TENSIONS AT UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_UNIVERSITY_OF_MISSOURI_TURMOIL?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-11-11-07-24-17

A 19-year-old man suspected of posting online threats to shoot black students and faculty was arrested Wednesday, authorities said, adding to the racial tensions at the heart of the protests that led to the resignations of two University of Missouri leaders earlier this week.

Hunter M. Park, of Rolla, was arrested shortly before 2 a.m. and taken to jail in Columbia, about 75 miles to the northwest. Campus police booked him on a preliminary charge of suspicion of making a terrorist threat. No weapons were found.

Park, who has not yet been formally charged, is a student at Missouri Science and Technology. He was being held on $4,500 bond.

The posts, discovered Tuesday on the anonymous location-based messaging app YikYak and other social media, threatened to "shoot every black person I see." They followed the resignations on Monday of the University of Missouri system president and the chancellor of its flagship campus in Columbia.

Park did not respond Wednesday to an emailed request for comment from The Associated Press. A message left on his mother's cellphone was not returned.

"We had additional officers on patrol last night and the campus remained safe," police Maj. Brian Weimer said in a statement. "We investigated a number of reports and tips and take every one of them seriously."

There were other threats, and authorities did not say if additional arrests are possible.

Another threat said: "Some of you are alright. Don't go to campus tomorrow." The message seemed to echo one that appeared on the website 4chan - a forum where racist and misogynistic comments are common - ahead of the deadly campus shooting at an Oregon community college last month.

The posts were widely disseminated across the Internet and local media.

Additional officers were already on campus before the university learned of the threats. University police were working with other state and local agencies to ensure the campus was secure, Weimer said.

The school's online emergency information center tweeted, "There is no immediate threat to campus," and asked students not to spread rumors.

On Wednesday morning, student foot traffic was light as Steven Loughrige made his way to class. He said he never took the threats seriously because they appeared on social media.

"I'm just disappointed that it escalated," said Loughrige, a white junior studying engineering.

It has been a tumultuous week on the Columbia campus.

The student government president reported in September that people shouted racial slurs at him from a passing pickup truck, galvanizing a protest movement that began weeks earlier. A graduate student went on hunger strike to demand the resignation of university system President Tim Wolfe over his handling of racial complaints.

Then more than 30 members of the Missouri football team went on strike in support of the hunger striker. Those developments came to a head Monday with the resignation of Wolfe and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, the top administrator of the Columbia campus.

A plaza that had been the site of a sit-in by protesters was entirely empty Tuesday night, and only a handful of students were seen walking around campus. Police officers from the campus department and city of Columbia were on patrol.

Gaby Rodriguez, a senior, said she was at work when she heard about the online threats.

"It's really disheartening and proves the point of why these protests and boycotts were necessary," Rodriguez said. "I don't think I've ever felt this unsafe at Mizzou," she said, referring to the college by its nickname.

Some students, faculty and alumni have said the protests and top leaders' resignations are the culmination of years of racial tension.

Among other recent events, members of the Legions of Black Collegians, whose founders include a recently retired deputy chancellor, said slurs were hurled at them by an apparently drunken white student while practicing for a homecoming performance.

The university has promised changes.

Chuck Henson, a black law professor and associate dean, was appointed Tuesday as the university's first-ever interim vice chancellor for inclusion, diversity and equity.

The university system's governing body, the Board of Curators, also announced other initiatives, including offering more support for hiring and retaining diverse faculty and staff and performing a full review of all policies related to staff and student conduct.

MIZZOU HUNGER STRIKER CLAIMS HE’S OPPRESSED, RIPS ‘WHITE PRIVILEGE’ – COMES FROM FAMILY WORTH $20 MILLION

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/rich-kid-whitey.jpg

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/11/mizzou-hunger-striker-claims-hes-oppressed-rips-white-privilege-comes-from-family-worth-20-million/





Jonathan Butler, the University of Missouri graduate student who went on a weekend hunger strike, comes from a family worth $20 million. His father is a railroad vice president and made over $8 million last year.
Butler complained about white privilege.

He argued he was oppressed.
St. Louis Today reported:
Jonathan Butler, a central figure in the protests at the University of Missouri, is an Omaha native and the son of a railroad vice president, the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Butler refused food last week in a move to force the university system’s president, Timothy M. Wolfe, from office. Wolfe resigned Monday and Butler ended his hunger strike.
Jonathan Butler played high-school football at Omaha Central High, where he won a state championship, and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Mizzou, the newspaper reports. He is working toward a master’s degree in educational leadership and policy.
He is a member of a prominent Omaha family. The newspaper says that Butler’s father is Eric L. Butler, executive vice president for sales and marketing for the Union Pacific Railroad. His 2014 compensation was $8.4 million, according to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

[helmuth_hubener]

nothing wrong in sending a message

I disagree. The content of that message, and the behavior engaged in that constitutes that "message", these make all the difference between there being "nothing wrong" with it, and everything wrong!

I mean, the original harassers, assuming they exist, had a message, too. Maybe it was a perfectly fine message, like "end affirmative action!" And yet, you can see and I can see that if they chose to "send that message" by yelling at random people out car windows, that's not the right way to do it. Or, even more so, to "send a message" by committing acts of vandalism, yes, there jolly well is something wrong with sending a message that way. Even though the original message ("end affirmative action!") may have been unobjectionable.

Likewise, the SJW Posse did have a perfectly reasonable message that they could have sent: "Students shouldn't harass and annoy each other because of race." Even more reasonable, they could have trimmed it down to the essential and said simply "Students shouldn't harass and annoy each other." No one would have had a problem with that. We could have all joined hands. Instead, their message was:

Give the blacks money
More important, give us money to open Black Studies programs and teach you about how you should give us (oh yeah, and the blacks) more and more money
Give blacks preferential treatment
A perfectly innocent, non-racist guy should resign, because.... no reason. No grievance given. Just resign.
And on and on.

And this obnoxious message was sent in an extremely obnoxious way: forming mobs, surrounding cars, intimidating anyone who disagreed, intimidating journalists and even simple photographers, being belligerent, making threats, and in fact following through on threats, to destroy the careers of innocent people. Even people who don't disagree with you, like the University President.

So yeah, sending that message in that way: there's a whole lot wrong with sending that message.

[Spikender]

Another day, another college campus.

[UWDude]

Yeah. I am struggling to see how some people here can support the cause of these BLM people. I hope these SJW and useful idiots will be the first ones to get shot when the elite and rich get bored and finally implement full marxism or facism.

This is a bit different than Black Lives Matter. Black lives matter is about cops shooting black people and getting away with it every time, a legitimate complaint.

[specsaregood]

It seems to me that in recent memory, more often than not these types of things were done by the very people they were supposed to be offending/targeting. just saying...

Interesting, the guy that made the claim that somebody driving by called him ****** now admits his claim that the KKK was on campus was false. I suspect nearly all of the claims were false or manufactured by those making the claims.

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/11/furious-conservatives-demand-arrest-of-mizzou-student-president-over-false-kkk-claims/

[juleswin]

I just cannot believe the president resigned. This would have been a good way to turn the victimization on them and show the world who the real bullies are. You give them an inch and next time they are demanding a mile.

When I first heard of this story, I was hoping it was some minor thing that would blow over, the kind of stuff that you see on tumblr that no serious person pays attention to. This is very bad for any black person who is not into the SJW thing cos that they would all be caught in the BS.

Bullying other activists...

NOV. 11, 2015

… Ian Paris, the head of the university’s chapter of Young Americans for Liberty, a libertarian group, described a confrontation recently when he was signing up students to support Senator Rand Paul in a campus plaza. A group of activists protesting the administration’s handling of racial tensions came onto the plaza shouting their message through a megaphone.

When Mr. Paris complained to a friend about the activists, one of the demonstrators overheard him and told them to “take their white privilege and leave,” Mr. Paris said. A loud argument ensued.

“You can’t just have one side of the conversation,” said Mr. Paris, a 21-year-old white senior, who on Wednesday erected what he called a “free speech wall” on campus for people to write their opinions. “I’ve had students tell me that they’re afraid to express their opinion because they are afraid they’ll be criticized.”

The university has been criticized for being slow or ineffective in addressing racial tensions…

I am thinking that the locals will not care much for these transients,, regardless of race.

MIZZOU CAMPUS ACTIVISTS AND BLACK LIVES MATTER COMPLAIN ABOUT PARIS STEALING THE SPOTLIGHT

http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/11/14/mizzou-campus-activists-and-black-lives-matter-complain-about-paris-stealing-the-spotlight/

Campus activists in America showed their true faces during an international tragedy last night: they are the selfish, spoiled children we always knew they were.

Black Lives Matter and Mizzou protesters responded to the murder of scores of people in Paris at the hands of Islamic extremists by complaining about losing the spotlight and saying their “struggles” were being “erased.” Their struggles, remember, consist of a poop swastika of unknown provenance and unsubstantiated claims of racially-charged remarks somewhere near Missouri’s campus.

So debased has the language on American campuses become that these incidents, which many observers believe to be hoaxes, just like previous campus scandals celebrated by progressive media, are being referred to as “terrorism” and a “tragedy” by moronic 20-year-olds who have never been told, “No.”

Such a reaction is understandable, if grimly hilarious. These kids been raised by indulgent parents, instructed by professors racked with middle-class white guilt who secretly hate themselves and western culture, and promoted by a sympathetic media which bends over backwards to put them in the best light and paper over their tantrums.

This is the same media hesitant to call Paris an act of Islamic terrorism for hours, despite shouts of “Allahu akbar.” The product of their pandering to the politics of grievance and offence-taking is a generation of students who, faced with the horror of a terrorist attack killing hundreds, respond with: “But what about me?”

Campus activists and Black Lives Matter protesters shame themselves any time they are forced to go off-script. Normally, their messaging is carefully controlled. They parrot a narrative created by progressive media and reinforced via well-funded spokespeople and professional agitators. Left to their own devices, however, they fall to pieces.

Ergo, the head-scratching spectacle of hundreds of college crybullies cast adrift from the pronouncements of Salon columnists and left to complain aloud that their grievances were playing second fiddle to innocent French citizens being mowed down by jihadist maniacs.

Even Black Lives Matter’s notional leaders, often more judicious in their timing and wording, got in on the act.

Black Lives Matter and Mizzou tweets fell broadly into two categories of stupid last night:

Paris and Mizzou are equivalent: both represent “terrorism.” (This is the message from Black Lives Matter.)
White people are “erasing black lives” by focusing on Paris. (This is the language of the racial grievance-fuelled campus social justice movement.)

There was, of course, a huge backlash not just from conservatives but from most decent observers. It fell on deaf ears, with many of the most preposterous tweets being hastily deleted.

Honestly, I don't know what to think. This must've been conspiracy 2 detract from #BlackLivesMatter #Mizzou #StopWar pic.twitter.com/qe1FCPZ6fB

"Inclusive Terminology" Guide at University of Missouri Raises Awareness of "Adultism"
http://dailycaller.com/2015/12/19/inclusive-terminology-guide-at-university-of-missouri-raises-awareness-of-adultism/
Peter Hasson (19 December 2015)

The University of Missouri, the taxpayer-funded flagship college of Missouri, published an “inclusive terminology” guide (http://diversity.missouri.edu/discuss/inclusive-terminology.php) for students to learn and use as part of efforts to make the school more “inclusive.”

The guide explains that “sticks and stones are not the only things that may be hurtful,” before instructing students to learn “the most current terminology,” which includes “adultism,” “two spirit” and “cultural appropriation,” among others.

The guide is titled “The Language of Identity: Using inclusive terminology at Mizzou” and defines “adultism,” for example, as “prejudice and accompanying discrimination over young people.”

The guide also includes the term “minoritized,” which it defines as “when underrepresented groups are made to feel ‘less than.’” Neither “adultism (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suggestions/adultism)” nor “minoritized (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suggestions/minoritized)” can be found in Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary.

Another term the university wants its students to learn is “two spirit,” which the guide defines as “A unique Native American identity embodying traits of both men and women or of another gender than assigned.”

The guide also includes the term “color blind,” which the university claims “is currently used by those who oppose race-conscious policies, like affirmative action, to argue that race does not/should not matter in decision making.” The guide goes on to claim that the term “can be disempowering for people whose racial identity is an important part of who they are.”

The guide also includes a definition for “safe space,” which it defines as an “area or forum where underrepresented groups can feel comfortable and supported and does not tolerate harassment or hate speech.” Mizzou students generated controversy during last month’s protests when they designated public property as a “no media safe space (http://dailycaller.com/2015/11/09/mizzou-students-form-a-no-media-safe-space-to-block-reporters/)” to prevent reporters from interviewing protesters.

(RELATED: Mizzou Professor Calls For ‘Muscle’ To Help Remove Reporter Covering Protests [VIDEO]) (http://dailycaller.com/2015/11/09/mizzou-professor-calls-for-muscle-to-help-remove-reporter-covering-protests-video/#ixzz3un1VJe8Y)

Mizzou students are also encouraged to learn the term “cultural appropriation,” which the guide defines as “taking and benefiting from the expression, ideas, artifacts, etc. of another culture without permission.”

Missouri student Parker Briden told TheDC: “It might be useful for conservatives to learn these terms so that we can debate the issues surrounding them with a common language. However, the hyper-focus on regulating the words we use misses the larger point.”

Briden went on to say that “If we concentrated on respecting each other, instead of just policing language, we’d see a better sense of community on our campuses.”

According to the university website, the guide was last updated on November 4, 2015. The university did not respond to multiple requests from TheDC asking if the guide was updated in accordance with last month’s protests.

Profile of an Oppressed “BlackLivesMatter” Protester

https://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/profile-oppressed-blacklivesmatter-protester/

Thomas DiLorenzo

It has now long since been proven that the brouhaha at the University of Missouri last year that caused the university president to resign (with demands that he apologize for being a white man) were based on two 100% bogus “incidents”: A “white redneck in a pickup truck” off campus who supposedly insulted a black student while driving through town, which never happened; and writing a swastika on a bathroom wall in feces, which also never happened. (I suppose we were supposed to believe that there are a lot of black Jews in Missouri who would have been deeply offended by this if it happened, which it did not).

One of the “campus leaders” of this latest in a very long line of lies designed to promote the cultural Marxist agenda on college campuses (i.e., the Duke lacrosse team rape hoax; the UVA fraternity/Rolling Stone magazine rape hoax, etc., etc.) is one Jonathan Butler, who claims to be so very, very oppressed by the White Devils at UM that he went on a hunger strike. Here’s how the March 21 issue of The New American magazine (page 11) describes this victim of white oppression:

“An interesting side note to the story is the background of Butler, who has matriculated at the UM campus for the last seven years, and who comes from a family of great wealth. His father, an executive for Union Pacific Railroad, made $8.4 million in compensation in 2014, and the family’s estimated worth is $20 million, a portfolio that enables young Butler to enjoy a lifestyle well beyond that of most of the white UM students whose privilege he seeks to expose.”

This spoiled little privileged punk is a vile racist. He is also the role model of cultural Marxist university administrators everywhere.
