University of Michigan forum ‘devalues the #BlackLivesMatter movement,’ students say

A routine debate on Tuesday hosted by a University of Michigan debate club was effectively shut down after a throng of protesters stormed the event and repeatedly shouted over participants, claiming the topic on whether Black Lives Matter is harmful to racial relations is too racist and bigoted to be discussed.

The word racist has become meaningless.

Most will likely be taking jobs after graduation with federal, state, and local governments where they will pursue their social activism for the next 40 years and retire with a huge pension.

Those black subversive thugs and their white co-anarchists won’t stop until they get the violence they desire. Reason does not exist in those underdeveloped skulls, only hateful emotion triggered by lies that fill a hole that exists in their psyches. Prepare.

Remedial Lib-"Logic"
Hilliary, like Obama and many of today's Democrat leaders believe in dividing Americans into victim classes. Then pitting those classes against others to garner votes and political capitol. All the while doing as little as possible for said victims/issues thus perpetuating the "problems" they benefit politically from.

The really scary ones will get jobs driving commute trains in the eastern corridor, inspecting and maintaining the tracks and and doing maintenance on the cars--- all union, of course.

It may be my deplorable imagination, but it seems that more passengers are dying on trains than in aircraft of late.
Truly deplorable.

Seems like the “harmful to race relations” side won as soon as BLM showed up.

Deplorable, irredeemable, intolerant AND tolerant, university, open-minded, free speech, consideration, charity, clarity, and on and on and on!

By the by, is there some sort of storage center, a-la "Raiders of the Lost Ark", where academic backbones are stored?

The official debate prompt read: “Resolution: Black Lives Matter is harmful to racial relations in the United States.”

The protestors were on the "for" side of the debate. I'd say they won, hands down.

As we saw with the Kraperneck display, these blacknecks are promoting their racial bullying to get what they want; more power and special privileges. NFL Football shouldn’t matter at all to White Males. The NFL is a force of emasculation. A five year old Native Born White American Female Child was raped and urinated on by three Muslim Legal Immigrant Males in Idaho. These are three Hillary Clinton Democratic Party Voters. White Males were sitting in NFL stadiums yelling “What a Stud!!!!” while this five year White Child was being gang raped and urinated on by three of Hillary Clinton’s Democratic Party Voters…they came into the US legally-constitutionally kosher certified. This is what White Males have reduced themselves to in 2016.

The university is spiritual…social…cultural….and physical rot!! It was once a place of higher education.

“I’m sure the irony was lost on these morons”. Agreed. However a sense of irony only applies to those who are self aware and who also have a sense of fairness. This type of irony would never occur to a fascist like these people truly are. It’s amazing that the do in fact scream, physically attack and call Trump supporters fascists without realizing that they ARE the fascists.
