From Ferguson Thugs to Campus Sensitives, all in the name of tearing down America and calling it "freedom."

Anyone know what Eric Holder is involved with these days?

The specter of "Ferguson" rioting over a lie about "hands up, don't shoot" didn't keep the flame of racial tension lit, so it's on to more respectable campus demonstrations to keep the flame of racial tension burning. What better place but in the hallowed halls of liberal education - the soft belly of anti-American thought - ready, willing and able to surrender to the culture they've sown?

"Black Lives Matter" needs to join the real world and accept that they have the RIGHT to be offended, just like everyone else. Period.

......[Eric] Holder has openly discussed his role in the angry clashes with Columbia University when he attended in the early 1970s, telling students at a 2009 commencement speech, “I was among a large group of students who felt strongly about the way we thought the world should be, and we weren’t afraid to make our opinions heard. I did not take a final exam until my junior year at Columbia - we were on strike every time finals seemed to roll around.”

Patrisse Cullors, one of the co-founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, learned “revolutionary community organizing” under the mentorship of Eric Mann, a Students for a Democratic Society radical who helped organize the 1968 protests at Columbia that received widespread national coverage...

How does one pass a course and/or graduate without taking final exams? Is this the Obama Method?

The opinions of anyone coming from #blackjiveblather are crap, as far as I’m concerned. That movement started on a lie and counties it’s existence on perpetuating that lie.

The suggestion that Black college students who ask not to be confronted with Blackface on Halloween or not to be called "nigger" as they walk through campus are somehow seeking to undercut the power and importance of the Bill of Rights evinces a poor understanding of American History.

Does anyone believe this really happens in this day and age? I'd have to see a video of it. Even then, I'd still suspect it was a put up.

” Brittney Cooper, teaches Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers”

Author’s titles say it all.

This mind numbed lib needs to go to her/his safe place and lock the door. It’s people like this (and Obama)and all the thugs out there, that are setting race relations back a hundred years.

The real world is that whites need to stand up for themselves. This will not stop with BLM, nor 'safe spaces', nor 'micro-aggressions', nor 'White Privilege' nor... Whites and Western Culture are under direct attack. It will only stop when whites stand up as whites and say enough.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw her title. That, and it comes from Salon.

Make me king for a day, and I would eliminate all nonsense courses like this from the universities. It's courses like that that educate students to march got free college with no clue how it will be paid for and then go on with Cavuto to get their asses handed to them

I am “standing up” by posting and commenting on @rap this “educator,” and others like her, generate.

You are White, and You Should Feel Bad About That. So Attend This Retreat.

[snip]

Program Description:

Students will have the opportunity to:

- conceptualize and articulate whiteness from a personal and systematic lens;

- recognize and understand white privilege from an individual experience

- as well as the impact of white privilege on the UVM community and beyond;

- build a community of dialogue and support in taking action against racism.

We will explore questions like:

- What does it mean to be white? How does whiteness impact you?

- What action steps can you take individually to interrupt racism

"Does anyone believe this really happens in this day and age?"

And with a generation of kids IPhoning and Andrioding everything as stills or film, yes you raise a valid question, where is the film footage of said incident...

In my faith tradition, our creation myth pivots on the notion that words create worlds.

So far, I only see this has been enforced one way....to enable the harassment of all racial groups at the expense of freedom of speech.

Notice I didn’t say for the benefit of Blacks....that’s because no benefit can be gained from this form of suppression by any visually identifiable group.

No, the only benefit is for members of BLM for political power, and from the pictures I have seen.....most of these leaders in this group and abusing this group are white pulling the strings.

BLM doesn’t even realize they are cheap pawns for these people.

From John Kerry’s “legitimate” Islamic terrorism, to the racist contrivance of “Black Lives Matter”... it’s all about negating reality in celebration of “otherness.”

http://www.newcriterion.com/articles.cfm/designertribalism-kimball-2204

...........The ethic of Third Worldism dictates that yesterday’s enlightenment be rebaptized as today’s imperialistic oppression.

“.....The Australian anthropologist Roger Sandall does not mention The Tears of the White Man in The Culture Cult, his new collection of essays. But his discussion is everywhere informed by the same spirit of salutary impatience. What Bruckner criticizes as Third Worldism, Sandall castigates as romantic primitivism” and (marvelous phrase) “designer tribalism.” What is romantic primitivism? In the words of Arthur O. Lovejoy and George Boas, it is “the unending revolt of the civilized against civilization.”

Sandall begins with a small but telling contemporary example. In 1996, the actress Lauren Hutton took her two young boys to Africa to witness a bunch of Masai warriors and their witch doctor perform a tribal dance, slaughter a cow, and drink some warm blood straight from the carcass. The whole spectacle was captured for the television audience by Ted Turner’s minions. Miss Hutton loved it: according to Sandall, “Wow!” was her frequent refrain. But her young children, one of whom burst into tears, were terrified. Quite right, too. The purpose of the television show was to show that “Masai culture is just as good as Western civilization, if not better.” Miss Hutton’s enthusiasm was sparked by the display of “authentic” tribal passion. But her children saw the episode for what it was: a glimpse into the heart of darkness, the abyss of uncivilized barbarism....”
