A member of the Black Student Union at the University of California-Berkeley recently penned an op-ed complaining that she felt “violated” by Ben Shapiro’s appearance on campus.

“If your perceived definition of violence is limited to the confines of physical contact, that’s probably because you’ve never had to experience the psychological trauma that comes along with being a Black person in America,” declares Shelby Mayes, who serves as Membership Development Director for the BSU, in an op-ed for The Daily Californian. “I didn’t need to be physically harmed to feel violated by my school [on September 14]

Let this black student go back to Africa. Then they will find out what violated really means.

I feel sad for people that are so emotionally frail that a simple difference of opinion leaves them in a tizz.

“If your perceived definition of violence...”

There’s no such thing as a “perceived definition”, snowflake. There’s the actual definition, and then there is mumbo jumbo.

Victim, Victim, Victim. Poor little baby. Maybe if this poor little black -itch didn’t have the chip on her shoulder as being a victim, other people would see her differently. But alas, that isn’t in the cards cause Blacks think they get more playing the victim — at least that is what the Jessie Jacksons, Al Sharptons, Maxine Waters, etc instill in them.

Citizens who feel psychological trauma from being in the United States need to GTF OUT. At this point I'd even support giving them tax dollars to do so provided they agree never to return under penalty of death.

well we know why she was admitted.

anyway, the left can’t take anyone who pushes back against their idiocy. They hate freedom of speech and now even condone violence to stop it.

Liberia was a great idea in 1865 and it still is in 2017. Their arms are wide open to black imbecile malcontents and white liberal sycophants and apologists.

The two proper replies:

1. Ridicule, preferably using the word snowflake.
2. Inform the snowflake that her speech is considered violent by others. Communism has killed more people than any other form of government and she sounds like a good little communist.

I cheer every single time some idiot feels ‘violated’. Am sure there must be a tall building she could leap from - that would show us.
