UVA students: Jefferson statue 'an emblem of white supremacy'
Campus Reform ^ | August 23, 2017 | Sandor Farkas

Posted on 08/24/2017 7:17:24 AM PDT by C19fan

Student groups at the University of Virginia have issued a list of demands that includes racial quotas and mandatory “education” about Thomas Jefferson’s connection to white supremacy.

The Minority Rights Coalition (MRC) at UVA, a coalition of minority student groups, hosted the “March to Reclaim Our Grounds” on August 21 to “send a message to the university that we demand more from them [sic] in these times.”

"His personal issues are irrelevant to that fact"

Blacks and Communists don't look at the issues with that mindset. If they did their hypocrisy would not be so blatant. MLK, Jr. was a plagiarist, a man of God that was a serial adulterer, beat women regularly and openly preached anarchy in his later speeches. His wheels were coming off. The FBI recordings of him were sequestered in 1972 for a period of time longer than that of the Rosenbergs. Think about it, spies recordings were sequestered and held from the public for a time less than those that would expose MLK, Jr. as a fraud.

The minority rights coalition is a racist to the core organization and should be banned from a state university.

The existence of such a racist group is offensive

Probably the idiot students complaining attend UVA on some sort of affirmative-action program or some such PC-based BS. Throw the bums out.

The students are correct—they are far too pure and virtuous to attend a university founded by a slave-holder.

Expel them for their own good!

School officials are bureaucrats. They got their positions on their knees. Thus a teeny tiny fraction of the student body can take over because the administration cowards will do nothing.

If these kids weren’t hypocrites they’d have never attended a University founded by Thomas Jefferson in the first place.

I wonder how many of these kids will pay for their lunches today with a $5 bill?

“university founded by a slave-holder”...

Clemson is next in line for that type of attention. Although the Clemson students are orders of magnitude less elitist than the Wahoo Cavaliers, Thomas Green Clemson made his fortunes on the backs of slaves.

Back to UV(a), methinks that they should take that historical “Lawn” area in front of Jefferson’s Rotunda and convert those dormitory rooms currently housing the most elite of the elite and make the entire area section 8 public housing. That will demonstrate that the administration is down for the struggle for social justice.

OF course, I remember the brainwashed students there pointing out the “dorm room” on the lawn of one Ralph Sampson back in my day. I’m sure he deserved that over a thousand or more more academically qualified ‘Hoos.

Scary thing to me is, you know what kind of scores you need to attend UVA?
How can kids be so called, “bright”, when they parrot this kind of nonsense???

I demand that they immediately surrender to me all of their nickels and two-dollar bills for proper disposal.

Does this mean that the UVA football and basketball teams should have and will be restricted to the same 12% black player representation that they are demanding for overall student and instructor percentages?
