Meanwhile, whites (and Asians) are overwhelmingly on the receiving end of interracial robbery, interracial rape and interracial homicide.

Ultimately, this is all about oppression of conservative speech. A raw power grab.

And Republican leaders say nothing.

You want to talk about slights and snubs and micro-aggression? Ok, let’s start with Rap?

Why don’t we read some of the lyrics and decide what should be done with the “artists” and those that publish this obvious hate speech.

Oops, there it is.

"Because of the society we live in, it's not OK to be overtly racist, but that doesn't mean everything is OK,["] Diaz said.

This is not quite as intelligent as a Phoebe Bufay quote.

Someone look at me kind of funny today.
I felt marginalized.

Then I just kicked the shiite out of that little old lady.

When it was all over, I learned that she is mostly blind and squints at everyone.

Cured her of that squinting habit.
______________________

True story:

There was a couple that moved into our neighborhood that carpooled to work every morning. Every morning they stood outside waiting for their ride and every morning I would wave to them. They never waved back.

We were in a fairly close knit neighborhood, and I wondered why this couple would choose to remain so aloof. It was kind of insulting that they'd look right at me and choose to ignore a friendly wave.

I said as much to my husband one night and he replied (in that weary tone of voice husbands sometimes use) “Honey, they do not wave back because they are BLIND”

Oh.

Well, I'm just glad they didn't live across the street from these ignorant college children.

microaggression

I see this buzzword a lot, it seems to mean that if you so much as look at a protected "minority" the wrong way (or are perceived as looking the wrong way), you're liable to face a civil suit.

It's hard to keep track of all the PC newspeak, microagression must be double plus bad!

But at a party two years ago, she was asked if she could speak English. When Diaz became offended, the other student tried to pass off the question as a joke. But it did not amuse her,

How will she ever get over such a traumatic and hurtful experience? He life is probably ruined.

You are getting sick of it and so is the rest of the country which means next election Democraps will have their asses handed to them. I really think Trump or whoever is the nominee is going to win by the biggest landslide in US history. You can get a good idea how the country is feeling by reading the reader comments on newspaper websites. For example the NY Daily news use to have almost all leftist comments. Today is half and half which was unthinkable a few years ago. Even with Huffington which use to be 100% far leftist, I see them people against crap like this, turning against Obama and Hillary, so all I can say is I hope they keep it up! I hope they go even more insane and totally sicken people.

2006: 32443 white women raped or sexually assaulted by black men. 2006: 0 black women raped or sexually assaulted by white men.

The overwhelming majority of homosexual prison rape is also black on white.

Sounds like they are back to that “coded” racist language, that they seem to think only the GOP understands. Remember, that was a theme some months back, that prominent GOP “leaders” (???) had some coded racist language?

“So, it’s sexist for a college student to ask someone out on a date, and a snub or slight if they say no?”

No link, but I recently read an article in which black male students will ask white girls out, and if they decline, the response is: “Oh, is it because I’m black?” Supposedly this response guilts the dumb white girl into accepting the date. So while it may not be sexist, a snub or a slight, it could be racist (which is worse than being Hitler).

Wait until the muslims that Obama is bringing over here by the boatload gets a hold of them. Then they will learn what trouble is.

What a bunch of self-absorbed pansies.

It seems these days we're reading story after story of infantilized college students; micro-aggressed, needing safe spaces, trigger warnings, constantly in pain, hurting and suffering.

Yet at the same time I am serving in the military with many other adults the same age as these college babies who don't at all act like this. I've been guilty in the past of painting the entire Millennial generation with this broad brush but it isn't true, not for all of them.

College is something some white guys have to tolerate to get a better job; after that there is little exposure to the semi-literate malcontent types seen on campuses. You may occasionally encounter an affirmative-action MBA working as a file clerk, but that is about it.

Vote fraud has won, and is rampant.

A goodly portion of this failed football team will never be heard from again, so they have to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame. If they hadn’t been able to run fast or knock someone down, they would be invisible.
