Triggered!
There really doesn’t exist a response within the realm of reason to that kind of insanity. Best to protect those in the vicinity first from them, then have a discussion on why they were outside the confines of an asylum.
How did it come to this?
My father said colored till the day he died. It was the polite word to use even in the 60s. Black guys I worked with in the late 60s would say “you know ‘John Smith’? About your height? Colored fella?”
These snowflakes need some serious ass-kicking!
They are not ready, emotionally, to interact with society and have no critical reasoning skills.
There used to be a plaque on Bascom Hall at the University of Wisconsin, referring to the “fearless sifting and winnowing” of ideas.
I imagine that plaque has been removed because it was a trigger.
Not positive the origins of the word Negro, but I suspect it came from the spanish world negro’, meaning black.
Am I off base here?
Maybe the NAACP... The National Association of COLORED People also needs to change it’s name. Sometimes people are just easily offended...
Or, for that matter, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Maria Martinez is offended by this? Pobrecita!
Seems there are those who are easily offended. Seems this young woman has not knowledge of history.
If I’m not mistaken back in the 60’s the Blacks referred to Jews as ‘Goldbergs’
That “student” was trying to teach the teacher. And when it failed, she went public. Good luck to that loser trying to find a job.
And these are the best of the best. Yikes. I assume that Columbia is a decent school....I know possibly making an ass of myself with that thought.
Being easily offended is no way to go through life.
The problem is, these are the same cupcakes who are now interpreting the Bill of Rights for us. The lunatics are running the asylum.
What’s the big deal? Expel Her for being too immature for higher education.
Had a Caucasian history professor in the mid-70s who got attacked for using the word niggardly in class. I still use Negro and Negress and refuse to use the term black to describe people who are not black, nor to use the term white to describe me and others who are not white.
Maybe someone should ax the retard if she’d ever use a dictionary before. Ax her to look up “choodren” for children, “jewwry” for jewelry, “poh’-leese” for police, etc.
Dr. Martin Luther King said “Negro” back then along with everyone else.
Does the objecting student want to rescind the King holiday because Dr. King said “Negro”.
The 60’s is when black’s shed the terms “negro” and “colored” in preference to “black”.
The slogan was “I’m black and I’m proud.”
That chant is why many whites resisted the change and continued to use “negro” and “colored.”
In my experience living in the south at the time anyway.
Since when does a student get to “explain” anything to a professor? Is she a member of the Red Guard?
