Racist rhetoric, hate speech call for a response from academics
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 06/21/2016 | Brian Murphy

Posted on 06/21/2016 7:53:53 PM PDT by artichokegrower

Many among us have been astonished by this presidential campaign. There has been racism, sexism, xenophobia, all manner of intolerance. And it is not only stunning, it is dangerous. Slandering an entire community of people by calling them "rapists." Urging bans on Muslims entering or re-entering the United States, demonizing whole communities of immigrants. Mocking disabled people. Crude sexism.

...slandering an entire community of people by calling them “rapists.”


Gee, isn’t that what happens when Feminists insists that a “culture of rape” is a fixture of college campuses?

You’ll have to drag the academics kicking and screaming from their safe spaces, the dear little snowflakes.

Pol Pot, the evil dictator of Cambodia, was opposed by academia in the nineties. He didn’t waste his time killing them. He simply closed the universities and drove the protesring students and instructors into the jungle where they died. This group of privileged individuals lives off the labor of others and is ill-equipped for life outside their ivory towers. Taking advice from them is foolish, as Obama and his university-heavy administration have amply proven.

It's somehow OK to say "All men are rapists" but not "Some Muslim men are rapists". Go figure.

If one actually listens to Trump, he said none of those things. But liberals ‘don’t need no stinking facts!’

The article starts with a lie, so I read no more.

Trump did not say all Mexicans are rapists.

What he said was that rapists are what we are getting, that Mexico’s best are not what we are getting.

Crime statistics certainly back him up.

But we can not change nut case libs. We should not waste our time trying.

What we do need to do is make sure every sensible citizen votes for Trump.

Hiring people to beat up your opponent's supporters, trying to assassinate a candidate, hiring people to disrupt speeches of your opponent, calling your opponent a NAZI...

It's also foolish to hold Pol Pot up to any positive standard of appreciation - he was a monster from hell.

Can’t believe how much my opinion of San Jose has collapsed since Trump’s rally there. Now I’d put it somewhere between Pyongyang and Aleppo, in terms of appeal.

the funny thing is, the “elites” are morons. Many of them inherited their wealth or found some way to cheat or rob people blind. If they have a degree, it is worthless. There isn’t a Thomas Edison or Neil Armstrong among them. They’ll be the first to die when the system crashes. Weak.

The San Jose Mercury has been a far-left, nearly lunatic newspaper since the early 90’s. Must be too much mercury in their drinking water.

Read them at your peril.
