The "Most Liberal" US College Demands "Deconstructing The White Supremacist, Capitalist System"
Z ^ | 12/20/2015 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 12/20/2015 7:28:50 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The manifesto for the micro-aggressives has been unleashed on an unknowing "safe-space"-seeking, politically-corrected, American public. Students at no lesser liberalist college than Oberlin, Ohio, have released 14 pages of full social-justice-warrior-tard warning that they are "not polite requests, but concrete and unmalleable demands."

As DailyCaller.com reports, the list, which bubbled up online over the past three days, is no less than 14 pages in length, and includes a staggering 50 demands, many of which divide into several sub-demands. Not only are the demands numerous, but they are quite severe and are paired with stern rhetoric. The document opens as follows:

Oberlin College and Conservatory is an unethical institution. From capitalizing on massive labor exploitation across campus, to the Conservatory of Music treating Black and other students of color as less than through its everyday running, Oberlin College unapologetically acts as [sic] unethical institution, antithetical to its historical vision. In the 1830s, this school claimed a legacy of supporting its Black students. However, that legacy has amounted to nothing more than a public relations campaign initiated to benefit the image of the institution and not the Africana people it was set out for...

 

[T]his institution functions on the premises of imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism, ableism, and a cissexist heteropatriarchy. Oberlin College and Conservatory uses the limited number of Black and Brown students to color in its brochures, but then erases us from student life on this campus. You profit off of our accomplishments and invisible labor, yet You expect us to produce personal solutions to institutional incompetencies. We as a College-defined “high risk,” “low income,” “disadvantaged” community should not have to carry the burden of deconstructing the white supremacist, patriarchal, capitalist system that we took no part in creating, yet is so deeply embedded in the soil upon which this institution was built.

After continuing in this manner for a while and outlining some broad goals (such as “the eradication hegemony in the curriculum”), the document begins to reel off demands, warning that they are “not polite requests, but concrete and unmalleable demands.” If Oberlin doesn’t capitulate, the document warns of a “full and forceful response,” though, despite the detailed demands, what the “response” would be remains entirely undefined.

While the long list of demands clearly involved a substantial amount of effort, one interesting aspect is its authorship is not totally clear. The original Google Docs post of the demands (which has since been deleted) credits them to ABUSUA, a black student group, but that group doesn’t appear to have much of a public online presence, and there’s also no outside evidence of them taking credit for it. But some other Oberlin organizations, like its pro-Palestine group, have publicly endorsed the demands, and there was also an online document collecting signatures which, according to the blog Legal Insurrection, surpassed 400 before also being taken down.

Whatever the demands’ origin, it’s not a huge surprise that they’ve popped up at Oberlin. Two years ago, the school had a series of hate crimes faked by liberal students, and earlier this year an appearance by feminism critic Christina Hoff Sommers prompted students to create a special “safe space” for students who felt emotionally traumatized by her lecture.

The full list  of "demands" are presented below. Enjoy.

I found the busing demand to be humorous. Oberlin, Ohio only has about 8,000 residents of which 3,000 of them are college students. With only 5,000 permanent residents, I have to guess they only have 1 public high school where all the kids go: white, brown, yellow or black.

Close the college, tell the children to go home and try to grow up.

Gee, they are not very good at being postmodernists. They left Christians out of the oppressors of the neoproletariat.

Let’s start with that college and their “profiteering” then.
The staff and professors obviously don’t need all that money....

College students are the biggest idiots out there. I’m being nice.
I cannot believe that adults capitulate to these idiots who have no clue about how the world works. This is what being nice to leftists get you.

Gripping manifesto. It would be nice if it were written in the English language but that would probably be regarded as colonialist and require a term’s worth of unearned credit. 14 non-negotiable demands, is it? I can type “NO” 14 times and not take up 50 pages to do it. And so what then, kiddies? Whatcha gonna do about it? Slobber on the bars of your playpen?

The elimination of the school’s No Trespass list, which bars certain individuals deemed unsafe from entering campus, because it includes blacks in disproportionate numbers.
If they do that, within a few weeks, they may want to rethink that policy.

Starvation might not be a problem. When the sort of government that they are seeking comes to power, the second bunch up against the wall is usually the people who did all the marching and protesting.
