In the wake of protests at the University of Missouri, students of color at Guilford College are rallying against perceived racism on their campus. Guilford College is in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Like their compatriots in Missouri, the protesting students have released a list of demands. If they are "not met within a week," protesters promise they will rally on campus again.
Among other things the students want, they are pushing the college to have professors, administrators, and staff to admit they are racist, that no black people should be in any marketing campaigns for the time being, and an investigation into Yik Yak, a smart phone app similar to a localized online bulletin board.
"We want black bodies out of marketing campaigns until Guilford addresses its diversity issues," reads the first demand. They continue later, "We demand a plan for the end of exploitation of black male athletes. The college must not be able to profit off of black bodies while putting minimal effort into the education and retention of those same students," it continues.
The group then writes, "We demand that school administrators, professors, staff, and student leaders acknowledge their racism, be it overt covert or passive." They then demand "that faculty and staff [be] protected and able to voice solidarity with students and/or frustration with administration."
They also demand Yik Yak be investigated: "We demand an investigation to the extent of the school’s ability into [sic] hateful Yik Yak posts and comments. Should these posts and comments turn overtly violent, the students demand the School takes it to the proper authorities and promise the safety of black students on campus. These should be treated no differently from other anonymous hate crimes."
One line from the book, “Now the bottom rail is on top”.
I’ll be there in 2 weeks to see the Lindley Park Christmas decorations. A frat bro owns Jams so we’ll hit that.
Get a tee shirt with White Privilege printed on it and take a stroll across the campus. Ought to be fun.
This new wave or generation of protesters will likely make the 1960's seem tame. This is likely the civil unrest many have predicted is coming to the nation before the 2016 elections. It is college staff cheering it on it seems.
Quite obviously this is coming directly from DNC HQ. The point is to gin up racial hatred in order to fire up the Democrat base, which is actually feeling pretty apathetic about the Old White Folks in the Democrat primaries. Watch for more kabuki theater ritualistic black demands followed by white liberal groveling. This is really going to be nauseating.
I hate to sound racist, and I don't in any way support Jim Crow, but . . . maybe these kids are better off in an historically black college. Maybe Howard U? If they're that resentful (read: jealous) of whites, they should maybe go somewhere where they'll never feel offended.
They are trying to formant a race war if they cannot force complete capitulation via white guilt.
I am afraid we need to consider repatriation of black to Africa.
And do so during a show trail in the quad so all comrades can hear these “running dogs” admit what they do.
I do enjoy watching affirmative action expose academia for the collective fools they are.
