It is the first amendment that protects student’s at Duke to write such racist fallacies. We stand by your right to be absolutely wrong and protect your right to be a buffoon with the IQ of granite. (black granite cuz white granite bee racist cracker rocks).

We need a pool to see which low IQ quota academic “major” this clown is pursuing.

What we do know is that this person would be a toilet cleaner in the physics department...although the Duke Physics Dept should leave now knowing that even being close to such a black hole of stupidity damages their credibility.

Cardinal4 to Bennett Carpenter: Kill yourself..

No, no, no! I feel like having some fun with this guy. Let's see if we can change his thinking by making up a bunch of hooey about great African kings that influenced Jefferson's thinking on the First Amendment.

With today's technology, anything is possible. BTW, I've had experience forging stuff all the way back to college, when I dropped a fake paternity suit on one of my friends. It was so real, he took it to one of our faculty advisors for guidance.

From the piece:

“Carpenter, who appears to be white, devotes much of his column to the subject of “white fragility,”...”

Appears to be white? LOL! White guilt at it’s finest.

He’s probably never read it. It’s a foreign document to people like him.

Actually the comments on the actual article are quite hilarious.

Nobody in the comments supported “Pajama Boy”. Pretty much everyone slammed him and his article.

It actually gave me encouragement that the actual students at Duke may be smarter than their professors.

A genuinely free society so long as you don't say things he disagrees with or invade his "safe space

Exactly. Who gets to decide what is "hate" speech and what is not? Certainly, if liberals have their way virtually everything that conservatives believe in shortly will be considered hate speech or action.

I've already conversed on-line with a number of libs who believe people who don't approve of homosexual marriage should either be fired from their jobs or put in prison. And they're serious.

I think the whole notion of a ‘hate crime’ is tragedy of justice. You might as well call it “thought crime”.

You are 100% correct.

Another stupid neo-Marxist defining down - if, in fact, the distinction between defacing a poster and murdering someone is only a matter of degree, then so is doing nothing at all and murdering someone. This is a very specific point in the White Privilege argument: what you do doesn't make you a racist, what you are does.

The other side of this equation is desperately denied, which is that if you are racist for merely existing, the negative cachet of the term disappears. You can't, after all, insult someone merely by saying "you exist". You can if you're a fool and an irremediable bigot, I suppose.

What our author actually is attempting to accomplish here is to make bigotry respectable. For him the First Amendment is merely an impediment to that bigotry being able to stifle dissension. He sees no hypocrisy at all in using his freedom of speech to deny it to others, and he'd be the first to shriek if it were withdrawn.

All these cry babies are welcome to move the black run paradises like LIberia, Haiti, or Sierra Leone. White devils are the most evil in history and since the USA is so white then move where there aren’t any white people.

Nope. Eventually it will have to be dealt with.
