Over 70 Black Campus Groups Plan More Protests, Demand ‘Free Tuition for Black Students’
Breitbart ^ | 12/5/2015

Posted on 12/06/2015 1:25:59 PM PST by Altura Ct.

Organizing members of the Black Liberation Collective from Harvard University to the University of Missouri have released a list of demands they want met at predominately white colleges as well as historical black universities.

Campus groups from each individual school have their own specific demands to end “racial discrimination” on their respective campuses.

Collectively, the 73 schools all want the following:

1) WE DEMAND at the minimum, Black students and Black faculty to be reflected by the national percentage of Black folk in the country

2) WE DEMAND free tuition for Black and indigenous students

3) WE DEMAND a divestment from prisons and an investment in communities

Armed with the hashtag #StudentBlackOut, these groups are planning a second day of action in support of their list of demands.

Last month, Breitbart News covered the #MillionStudentMarch which was widely mocked on social media and met with lackluster national student support.

First, your Demand rhetoric will get you nowhere.

Second, Grow Up and learn some American History, real American History.

Third, We are not a communist country and never will be.

Fourth, We live in the greatest country ever devised by the mind of man. Be thankful and make the best of your lives. Work hard, study and be the best you can be. God rewards people who work hard and don't just bitch and complain all the time.

Fifth, You should Thank God every day you were born in America rather than some hell hole in Zaire.

Sixth, Please have an open mind and think about what I've said.

>>LOL. Yes, they’ve been pandered to as well haven’t they.

Yeah, but they don’t bring as much grant money to the school’s coffers. They do bring a lot more than the white males, who get nothing. A white boy from a trailer park is privileged and the son of a black doctor and white supermodel is “disadvantaged”. White females fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum.

If groups like BLM were sincerely after an education vs a social upheaval based on racism, I would have a bit of respect for them. Such a group would be well advised to attract financers and create your own schools in your own idealized image. There are private and charter schools made to fit certain models. These groups just want to destroy for the sake of destroying.

Here’s a partial compromise - the 20% of international students who have their tuition paid by the universities are sent home. Then those funds are available for tuition reduction for ALL American students, or more need based scholarships regardless of race.
A 3-4% reduction in college charity cases and redistribution in favor of natives helps everyone.

Someone needs to walk into a black college and make the same demands.

Should the demanded 1/9 quotas be applied to all fields? Sports?

WLM!

Let’s hope they don’t think that committing a mass terrorism act will get them the attention they deserve, as they are already jealous of the Muslims.

Seems like a lot of campuses need White Student Unions.

Well, Hell.

Just issue them a BS or BA degree, instantly, upon initial enrollment.

Enrollment fee of about $99.95 (kind of like an Earl Schieb paint job in more ways than one) which Bernie will cover.

Save a lot of time and money.

Let’s get right to the point, and get this all over with.

Most of these ignoramuses are only in college because of Affirmative Action. They lack the ability to actually study and learn, and they don’t want anyone else to study and learn, so they spend their time being as disruptive as possible. They should all be expelled, and not reinstated in any college. That would go a long way to correcting what is wrong with colleges and universities.

If they don’t want to be Americans like everyone else, they should leave.

You mean they don’t already get free tuition? I thought EVERYTHING was already given to them. Including advancements in the job world, after they were given preference over whitey to get the job.

I went to college in Louisiana. Louisiana has a program where all students, regardless of race, get free tuition at state universities so long as they maintain -I think- a 3.0 GPA. It may be as low as 2.0 Either way, it is free. while I was in college, every semester would see a new crop of these blm types enrolling and every semester, without fail, most would drop out.

What you mean? White students free tuition? More white folk at the college?
