College Republicans taunted with 'KKK' flyers in windows
Campus Reform ^ | September 11, 2017 | Kassy Dillon

Posted on 09/11/2017 9:18:38 AM PDT by C19fan

The first Amherst College Republicans meeting of the year was targeted by flyers taped to the windows of the meeting space saying, “THIS IS OUR CAMPUS, NOT THE KLAN’S.”

The group claims on its Facebook page that “while the flyers are related to another incident on campus that happened September 5, the deliberate placement of the text facing the room where it was known an ACR meeting was occurring leads us to suppose this is an accusation of ACR being connected to the KKK.”

Luv to see the reaction of the thugs who harassed the College Republicans when you tell them the KKK was the muscle of the Democratic Party.

Exactly. This could be a great learning opportunity. Put out flyers explaining the history of the Democrats’ use of the Klan, Jim Crow laws, white supremacy and Segregation to stay in power. The Dems have always used racial division and racial oppression as a means to get and stay in power. They are evil.

I see they don’t teach history in College as well.

They should complain to campus authorities that the flyers represented “hate speech”, a “hate crime”, and an act of “micro-aggression” creating an “unsafe environment”.

Actually, this was a hate crime, and it must be treated as such.

This is exactly the same as someone leaving a banana peel in a tree, or a noose near a meeting of black students: it’s a blood libel, and an incitement to violence.

“The Dems have always used racial division and racial oppression as a means to get and stay in power.”

Yes, and racism was a perfect target for the international left in their attempts to undermine the US. This is getting worse and worse, but was likely an inevitable response from a left that was shocked during the last election cycle. They lost the narrative and for the first time in generations they see their march toward total control of the US stopped. They are wounded, and therefore more dangerous.

I’ve been thinking of changing my status from Republican to Independent for quite some time. Stories like this one remind me why i’m still a Republican. Democrats, SJW’s, Antifa, jihadis, BLM and the msmedia can kiss my American ass.

Byrd is gnashing his teeth in the outer darkness. If the Left could hear him they’d be on their faces crying out to God for mercy in repentance.

They should counter with “Robert Byrd - Grand Kleagle - Democrat”

Well you could put up pictures of communist oppression and violence when the leftists march but that’d just encourage them.

They didn’t mention the names of the bigots who put up the flyers.

Did the campus shut down for a day? Did they offer safe spaces for the children “traumatized” by the racist flyers? Are they doing sensitivity training for all the faculty and students to make sure this doesn’t happen again?

Actually, not at all like leaviny a banana peel in a tree, which was simply someone who ate a banana throwing their peel away; and one has to be racist to associate blacks with monkeys in order for a peel in a tree to be considered an attack on black people.

These flyers were deliberate racist assaults.
