Marx and Man at Yale
Campus leftists disrupted a Yale University conference on free speech and terrorized attendees Saturday as part of a lingering protest against school administrators’ allegedly permissive attitude toward culturally insensitive Halloween costumes.
Attendees at the “Fifth Annual Conference on the Future of Free Speech: Threats in Higher Education and Beyond,†sponsored by the school’s William F. Buckley Jr. Program, were given an unscheduled demonstration of the threat that college students pose to higher education today as they were harassed and spat upon by protesters.
I would like to see pictures of the “protesters.”

Add “Mau-Mauing” to your vocabulary, it’s a great way to understand some current events, especially as they relate to Mizzou, Yale, Ferguson etc.
We are watching classic “Mau-Mauing” directed at bureaucratic and academic “flak catchers,” like the university president forced to resign yesterday by pure mob tactics. It works, so expect it to spread, as it has to Yale today. Those of us old enough to remember the 1960s have seen this all before, with Black Panther marches, campus administration office sit-ins, and so on.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers
1970
Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers is a 1970 book by Tom Wolfe. The book, Wolfe’s fourth, is composed of two articles by Wolfe, “These Radical Chic Evenings,” first published in June 1970 in New York magazine, about a gathering Leonard Bernstein held for the Black Panther Party and “Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers,” about the response of many minorities to San Francisco’s poverty programs. Both essays looked at the conflict between black rage and white guilt.
“Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers”
The second part of Wolfe’s book is set at the Office of Economic Opportunity in San Francisco which was in charge of administering many of the anti-poverty programs of the time. Wolfe presents the office as corrupt, continually gamed by hustlers diverting cash into their own pockets. The essay centers on the irony of these failed programs fortifying not the diets but the resentment and contempt of the Black, Chicano, Filipino, Chinese, Indian, and Samoan communities of San Francisco.[2]
Wolfe describes hapless bureaucrats (the Flak Catchers) whose function was reduced to taking abuse, or “mau-mauing” (in reference to the intimidation tactics employed in Kenya’s anti-colonial Mau Mau Uprising) from intimidating young Blacks and Samoans, who are seen as reveling in the new-found vulnerability of “the Man”. The flak-catchers smile pathetically, allowing their tormentors to indulge themselves in abuse; the process is seen as a farcical but useful expedient, condescending toward the resentment of these communities. He described one mau-mauer who would show up at the offices and hand over ice-picks, switch-blades and straight-razors that he said were taken from gangs, in exchange for payments from the program. As a result, much of the money of these programs was not reaching its intended recipients, rendering the programs largely ineffective.
Lovely party.
Kenya Uprising against the Brits, you say?
Are we coming full circle here?
I’ll be glad to see the ivy leagues crash and burn.
They are the enemy.
Let the goons overrun them for all I care.
With internet education, most brick-and-mortar ivy league courses are obsolete and they recruit fifth columnists.
These Radical Chic Evenings, referred to bleeding heart liberal Leonard Bernstein's party for Black Panther terrorists. The keenly observant Wolfe coined the phrase Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers, to describe the contrived "conflict between black rage and white guilt".....Wolfe presents the Office of Economic Opportunity in uber-liberal San Francisco, as corrupt, continually gamed by hustlers diverting cash into their own pockets....the irony consisting of failed tax-subsidized govt programs fortifying the resentment and contempt of various minority groups .... whose perennial game was extorting the govt.
I believe Wolfe addressed "inequality" in his book "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"....suggesting we would be compelled to wear masks to give equal status to the ugly forced to live among the beautiful.
BTW, I've added Mau-Mauing to my vocabulary.
Kurt Vonnegut’s short story “Harrison Bergeron” is looking more and more plausible.
Sure looks like it......the govt frowns upon anybody who dares to succeed.
Congress cracks the whip w/ big ticket govt programs.......you’ll pay if you have a good job.
“White privilege” is a crime....punishable w/ the death sentence.
