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.
I read this, and if it wasn’t so blisteringly pathetic and frightening (for the outlook of our nation) it would be hilariously funny.
Thing is, if this had been reversed, and there were a group of white students having lunch and a couple of black students came up and received the same response, this would show up on the front page of every newspaper and the opening 10 minutes of the nightly news shows.
And it would be characterized as racism.
Additionally, this entire thing of “safe spaces”, “micro aggression” and all that other liberal crap is cultivating an entire crop of men and women who, when they have to encounter a real threat, are going to wilt and cringe. I always felt the military would be able to eradicate that in recruits, but now...I have serious concerns. The military seems far more preoccupied with new utilities combinations for pregnant women than they do with warfare.
I was visiting Dover AFB recently, and I walked past a restroom, and it had a “Shelter In Place” sign on the door. I didn’t know what that was, and when I found out, the mental image of a bunch of our military cowering in a bathroom trying to avoid a person with a gun just repelled me.
What has happened to our country, in our lifetimes? There was a time when I thought it was simple decline, but that ship sailed a long time ago. I have long thought there is a deliberate effort to corrode this country from within.
