Tolerance on Campus

Tolerance on Campus

The first of a series of Diversity Lectures held at the University of Louisville in Kentucky brought the notoriously racist Sister Souljah to campus at a cost of more than $10,000, reports the Louisville Courier-Journal.

The speech, in which Ms. Souljah was reported to have berated white people for more than two hours, was paid for with a $50,000 contribution by Bank One. The bank donated the money as penance after some of its employees were caught handing out racist T-shirts on campus.

Her speech was part of an effort to bring to campus "thought-provoking speakers that would really give us some opportunity to engage in a dialogue on some difficult issues related to race and race relations," said Mordean Taylor-Archer, the school’s vice provost for diversity and equal opportunity.

And it did just that.

One student who attended said: "I came there for a diversity speech only to hear examples against white people. I had to sit there for two hours and listen to this speaker say nothing but hateful remarks. I felt hated."

But a university faculty member who attended a forum about the speech later said the university has a responsibility to place people in uncomfortable situations to help them grow.

Sister Souljah is famous for advocating, after the Los Angeles race riots several years ago, "war" against white people, including a special week set aside each year to kill white people. She says unapologetically that she wants what’s best for "her" people, and that "if my survival means your total destruction, then so be it."

What a crock, the educrats won't allow anything "uncomfortable" if it is not PC, only if it is PC and makes people "uncomfortable" will it be allowed.

She's very tolerant and caring.

========================================

If a white man or woman said this they would find themselves in jail. However, if Solja wants a week to kill white people, I say bring it on. One iteration will probably solve many problems as I doubt she and her hate filled ilk will survive.

That flys in the face of the mission statements thrown out there by most universities that every student has the right to feel comfortable on campus.

So which is it?

Oh, yeah, she's real tough. I'm shakin' in my boots.

Don't worry, little Sistah. We know you've descended into obscurity now that your rap career has gone down the tubes, and your hateful tantrum is just a cry for attention and cash.

Souljah. LOL B!tch probably can't even shoot a gun. Probably thinks of Robert Mugabe and his murderous regime as heroes, too.
