A spokesman for the University of Wisconsin-Madison has shrugged off concerns over one of its students selling hoodies bearing the phrase All White People Are Racist in capital letters.
In this case, the individuals involved are exercising their rights to free speech and engaging in a private activity unrelated to their status as students, campus spokesman John Lucas said in an email to The College Fix.
Asked a second time to weigh in on the matter, Lucas gave the same answer.
The hoodies are the brainchild of an entrepreneurial UW-Madison undergraduate who recently began selling sweatshirts onlinein Wisconsin redwhich proclaim: All White People Are Racist.
Other sweatshirts offered by the same UW student vendor read, If I Encounter Another Cop With A God Complex Im Going To Have To Show The World That They Are Human, modeled by a woman in a hijab and begging the question of how she proposes to prove police officers humanity.
The student designer has sold dozens of sweatshirts, including his newest design, which has the All White People Are Racist logo on the front and bloody handprints on each sleeve. He was recently featured in a UW student newspaper article modeling his designs right in the heart of campus, not twenty yards from the entrance to the main administrative offices atop Bascom Hill.
Seeking comment on the matter, The College Fix contacted Chancellor Rebecca Blank, Dean of Students Lori Berquam, and Vice Provost for Diversity and Climate Patrick Sims, who have been vocal supporters of Black Lives Matter and who have worked closely with Black Lives Matter in campus programming.

If it’s free speech only for those the administration agrees with, then it’s not free speech.
Unfortunately, I live in NYC/USSR and can’t carry a gun.
I am hoping Trump picks Supreme Court Justices who uphold the 2nd amendment STRONGLY.
People say leave but Staten Island is conservative and I like Manhattan, more in my 20s and 30 than now, but i still like it.
And I hate hot weather!! :)
I think Staten Islanders and southerners would get along great. They call us the redneck borough.
Damn Straight!!
Two observations.
1. The clown is wearing a RED hoodie. A good indication of his ideological orientation unless he is just ripping off the black folk and white guilt-ridden liberals dupes for the money.
2. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the same as the old KGB school, the Patrice Lumumba University, except that it is not in Moscow like the Lumumba school was/still is (under a different name).
maybe it should be renamed the “Patrice Lumumba School - Wisconsin Branch.
“These folks are a big fat yawn.”
Really! So you find it totally boring and uninteresting that the administration of a big public university that gets hundreds of millions of dollars a year from white folks defends and enables scums like this “entrepreneur”.
Yeah... it’s like they’re trying too hard. They’ve gone from ‘shocking’ to ‘boring’...
“And if the hoodies read All black people are racist?”
I think we all know the answer to that one.
On one side mine would say REDNECK and the other side would say “Whaddya mean by ‘racist’?”
Madison ..... even the locals call it ‘thirty square miles surrounded by reality’.
Having studied there, this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest degree.
So Whitey can sell “Without Affirmative Action There Would Be No Blacks At UW” t shirts?
Why are my tax dollars being used to underwrite racism?
All Whites are RACIST! Well all Blacks still live 1400 years ago.
