Saying ‘God bless you’ after sneeze listed as microaggression on college’s anti-oppression guide
The College Fix ^ | March 14, 2018 | Jennifer Kabbany

Saying “God bless you” after someone sneezes is listed as a microaggression on a lengthy “anti-oppression” guide posted online by Simmons College.

“This guide is intended to provide some general information about anti-oppression, diversity, and inclusion as well as information and resources for the social justice issues key to the Simmons College community,” it states, adding “this guide is by no means exhaustive.”

Yet it includes hyperlinks to more than 100 resources, such as articles and videos, and boasts eight different subsections: anti-oppression, anti-racism, anti-transmisia, anti-ableism, anti-Islamomisia, anti-sanism, anti-queermisia and social justice zines.

The guide’s authors explain that they replaced the typical suffix “phobia,” such as Islamophobia, with the term “misia,” because the term “phobia” is offensive to people with phobias.

Yeah? Well, guess what sweetheart? I have a misia, so your new term is null and void. Pick a new term. Go ahead. I'm waiting. 'Cause I think I got one of them too.

Keep your mouth shut, do not say anything on campus and just earn your degree in Tibetan Medieval poetry with a minor in classical studies so you can get a job in a child care center.

Let’s face it, there’s some very nice people at Simmons College, but not necessarily the cream of the crop intellectually.

Why is God so hated among the left? “Light has come into the world, but the world loved the darkness for their deeds were evil”. When you have an agenda that opposes God in every way, you can’t help but hate Him.

So, if that aggression to say “bless you”, try “GFYourself” then.

Depending upon the proclivities of the given recipient, they may take that as an invitation!

I sneezed a sneeze...into the air
It fell to the ground...I know not where
But hard and cold were the looks of those
In whose vicinity...I had snooze.

Maybe they’ll prefer Baal, Moloch, Osiris.

I’m pretty sure these are right up their alley.

anti-transmisia, anti-ableism, anti-Islamomisia, anti-sanism, anti-queermisia and social justice zines.

Give me a ping when someone translates this into English.

One would have to add, “honkey” or “cracker” to that.

“The guide’s authors explain that......”

To the guide’s authors, should you sneeze: “Go to hell”.

[Why is God so hated among the left?]

Spirit of (small “a”) antichrist my FRiend. Spirit of antichrist.

Have you noticed how MUCH America is being torn apart these days? Of course you have - it's mind-numbing. When did it increase exponentially? With the coronation of the Kenyan Fraud.

That's why I say he's doing the work of his father, the Devil. And Hillary is right on board.

You are seeing the spirit of antichrist manifest itself in a whole lot of liberals these days.

Yes, it'd disturbing that so many are so easily-deceived.

I say some of them have the beginnings of the prophesied Strong Delsuion because so many of them CAN NOT be swayed from it by logic, reason, facts nor Scripture.
