WLDM—White Lives Don’t Matter. This movement is not only anti-white, it is anti free market and pro marxist.

However did I survive, back in the day, without a safe space?

[headstamp 2]

“I’m Northwestern’s president and I’ll be resigning in a few months.”

[Lopeover]

Safe spaces for black students only, you mean. Now they are voluntarily segregating. I am dumbfounded.

[Snickering Hound]

I don’t think I’ve ever read a Washington Post article where all the comments were against a liberal writer until now.

[PAR35]

Northwestern obviously needs an Aryan House so that the Nazis will have a safe space without fear of confrontation.

[The All Knowing All Seeing Oz]

I wonder, when the students he is coddling apply for their first post-graduation job, will they ask, “Where is the Safe Space here at XYZ Industries?”

We are raising a nation of uneducated wimps.

[Oceander]

I’m sure nobody on FR needs reminding, but college is not supposed to be an intellectual safe space. It’s supposed to be intellectually challenging and unsafe, a place where preconceived notions and ill-thought-out biases go to be slaughtered.

[The All Knowing All Seeing Oz]

A group of black students were having lunch together in a campus dining hall. There were a couple of empty seats, and two white students asked if they could join them. One of the black students asked why, in light of empty tables nearby.

The reply was that these students wanted to stretch themselves by engaging in the kind of uncomfortable learning the college encourages. The black students politely said no.

Is this really so scandalous?

I'm so glad Obama created a post-racial society in America.

[shoedog]

And of course if a network or newspaper would have seen two whites choose to not sit at that table, or if two blacks would have gone to sit down with a group of whites and been told they couldn’t we would be called racist.

That empty space all you college people are trying to fill belongs to God.

Get to know him and you will all be fine.

"One of the black students asked why, in light of empty tables nearby."

1. It's a free country and I'll sit wherever the Hell I damn please.

2. Martin Luther King stood for the proposition that one should be judged by the content of his character, not the color of his skin. So why are you self-segregating yourselves?

3. College is supposed to be a part of one's life where questions are asked, where the unfamiliar is to be encountered and confronted, where ideas are spun out and weighed in the balance of fair argument and discourse.

4. "Safe space?" No, a college education, at least the one I had, is the antithesis of a safe space - it is the space where ideas collide and stand or fall on their merits.

I have never had a "safe place" - nor do I need or want one. Students must confront the danger of unfamiliar ideas and customs - if they ever expect to be able to counter them.

"Safe places" are for victims, dhimmis and collaborators. We seek and embrace danger, whatever the cost.

"If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape
and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy."

[publius911]

I'm Northwestern's president. Here's why safe spaces for students are important.

Don't bother.
If it's not related directly to effecting higher education, not interested.

You weren't hired to run a daycare...

[Sivad]

OK, so various groups like to eat together...athletes...
....drama club members....band members.....agriculture
business management majors.....and so on. If any of those
groups consistently disinvited others from outside their
realm from joining them I would eventually consider
them a bunch of jerks. So much for cross cultural education and harmony.

"Now imagine the students were white"

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The article doesn't make it clear whether Black House is just a place to hang out on campus or a Black dormitory.

From what I remember Hillel Houses and Catholic Centers are not open 24-7. And there weren't a lot of rooms in these houses for students to just hang out. Mostly it was for meetings or events.

Opposing Black dormitories where Blacks can more completely isolate themselves from the university as a whole are not commensurate to faith-based buildings where a particular student might go for one or two hours a day (or week) at most.

Also, most people are talking about designated safe spaces not two seats at a table that somehow magically transformed themselves into a "safe space" because the bigoted Black students didn't want whitey sitting next to them.

Put them in combat boots. Strap on a 70 lb rucksack. 10 mile forced march double time. Then we he/she gets done, they can scrub the head floors with a toothbrush. That sounds pretty safe.

Thank you for sharing that with us Morty. You can go back to your safe place now and count your money.

Amusing that this hypocrite is so concerned that his students may hear “offensive speech” but he sends his student mercenaries onto the football field knowing that they will suffer lifelong brain and orthopedic injuries.
