College president sorry for saying 'All lives matter'
Fox ^ | 12/10/14 | Maxim Lott

Posted on 12/10/2014 6:10:29 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

The president of prestigious Smith College is red-faced and apologetic Tuesday for telling students on the Northampton, Mass., campus that "all lives matter."

Kathleen McCartney wrote the phrase in the subject line of an e-mail to students at the school....

“We are united in our insistence that all lives matter,” read the e-mail,in which she made clear she was strongly behind the protests, writing that the grand jury decisions had “led to a shared fury… We gather in vigil, we raise our voices in protest.”

But she soon received backlash from students for her phrasing. They were offended that she did not stick with the slogan “black lives matter.”

How DARE anyone suggest that ALL lives matter. We are only supposed to focus on particular lives.

Got racism?

Only black lives matter.

It's OK to kill white people. And they're doing it.

I love to see leftists squirm and twist when caught in their own tar pits.

And “black lives” seem to only “matter” when their termination can be used to advance a political agenda.

Aborting black babies and black on black murders don’t seem to move the needle.

It’s not about discrimination. It’s about catching a ride on the gravy train.

Black lives don’t matter to black people either. Tens of millions of black babies aborted by the racist eugenist’s Planned Parenthood. Daily occurrences of black on black violence.

They like to stomp and shout victimhood about white on black violence and say “nothing has changed”.

Perpetually angry is all.

Ha!
And here I thought they had their panties in a wad because the phrase "All lives matter" attacks their pro-abortion position...

This is Smith College we’re talking about. “All lives matter” will sound like an anti-abortion slogan to the assorted harpies who compose the better part of its student body. (Though statistically “Black lives matter” could also be an anti-abortion slogan.)

Integrity is so yesterday./sarc
What ever happened to saying what you mean and sticking by it?. Saying Black Lives matter is divisive and it’s too early in the morning for me to expound (rant) about that. No guts. No glory. You called them on it lady, then rolled over. (Spit)

Another fine example of the much ballyhooed tolerance, openness and free-thinking of the left.

Isn’t red-faced a racist term?

Do we live in America or Mao's China? Put a dunce cap on her head and parade her down the street in a Walk of Shame.
