It's snowing in Princeton, even on a clear day. The students who walked out of this lecture don't belong at Princeton. One wonders if they were admitted on the basis of some stupid "diversity" quota. A great university can rightfully expect a modicum of common courtesy, to say nothing of some open-mindedness, from its students. The course is ABOUT hate speech, blasphemy and pornography. The students signed up to take the course. Did they expect the professor to read them Grimm's fairy tales from a book while they sat in a circle on rugs on the floor? Moreover, not only did one or more of the students get up and walk out, which by itself is rudeness incarnate, but then they returned and confronted the prof with expletive-laced speech. Clearly, those infants don't belong in any sort of college, let alone Princeton. Kingsborough Community College might be more their style.

It was also about pornography. Would they gripe if a nude woman’s or man’s picture appeared on the chalkboard or screen?

It seems the Snowflakes are not happy regardless of the situation surrounding the course. That said, why does Princeton think the world needs a course on hate speech, blasphemy, and pornography?

I guessed before I looked at the photo, and I was wrong.

Funny thing is that that word is used all the time in the black community. Mothers call their misbehaving children that. And men call each other that in jest. A man may call a black “low life” one. Or comedians like Chris Rock will do a whole routine on that word alone.

So, its really only offensive if white people say it. But white people were saying it without offense taken for hundreds of years. Hollywood changed its meaning in the 60s and 70s. It was not that derogatory before then.

A college professor was known to curse in class. In protest all the female students decided to leave the next time he cursed.

The professor got word of the protest so at the next class he said “Have you heard about the boat load of whores that went to Africa?”. All the girls started filing out. He said “Hang on, ladies. The boat doesn’t leave till 4:30.”

They probably don’t own Richard Pryor’s record: “That N-—r is crazy.”

I personally object to the undeniably racist insult to Free Speech the proposes that only black people are free to use the word NIGGER while everyone else is rendered into a second-class citizen.

It’s not a word I will ever use as an epithet but I will absolutely insist on using it when speaking about it. If black people can use it then so can I.

A stroll through Princeton today reveals the Sh!thole it’s become, mainly because of the ragtag, doper, snowflakes and their affirmative action fellow “students.”

He asked the question “What is worse, a white man punching a black man, or a white man calling a black man a nigger?”

It was not used as an epithet. It wasn’t directed at anyone. It even compared the use of the work with physical violence. He wasn’t encouraging its use or diminishing the impact that the word has.

I guess he got the answer to his question though...

The kids at Princeton are actually taking out loans or spending Mom and Dad’s money for this? During my travels when I was at that age, I got my education in the subject from the writings on men’s room stalls at rest areas and truck stops. I even saw some of it scrawled on the walls of Johnny Appleseed’s cabin in Fort Wayne.

Did you notice at the end of the story how the chairwoman of the anthropology department, in her defense of Professor Rosen, blamed this incident on Trump?

“Rosen has used the same example year after year. This is the first year he got the response he did from the students. This is diagnostic of the level of overt anti-black racism in the country today. Anti-American and anti-Semitic examples did not upset the students, but an example of racism did. This did not happen when Obama was president, when the example seemed less real and seemed to have less power.”
