Hate messages show up on University of Manitoba campus
cbc.ca ^ | November 2, 2018

Posted on 11/04/2018 2:33:35 PM PST by lowbridge

A University of Manitoba student says hateful messages posted on campus and sent to at least one fax machine add an "element of fear" to being on school grounds.

"I think it's sickening," said Charlene Hallett. "But, on the other side too, I want to roll my eyes and say, "You know what? No, you don't get to try to intimidate us this way.'" 

Sheets of paper with the phrase "It's okay to be white" were taped to walls around the U of M campus this week. Faxes with the same phrase were sent to offices around the campus, including the women's and gender studies program.

Hallett is ​Cree-Métis and is in her fourth year of studies in the family social sciences program. She says while incidents like this this won't change her willingness to speak her mind during class discussions about issues like race, class and sexuality, it makes her wonder if she's going to be targeted.

'It's okay to be white' signs posted around HalifaxBrandon University students alarmed by 'horrifying' posters, stickers promoting white supremacy

"Whether I know it or not, somebody could be sitting in that class having these thoughts and having these racist ideas about what Indigenous people are or … just how superior white people are, and I don't know if that's happening or not," said Hallett.

"I don't know what their intentions are in class. I don't know if I'm in harm's way."

'No tolerance for hate and discrimination'

The University of Manitoba is denouncing the posters, which the school president says are part of "a co-ordinated international effort by neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups."

"The university unequivocally condemns this and any other racist actions," David Barnard wrote in a statement sent to media on Friday.

It sucks that the voices in your head are scaring you so much. Take some Prozac, it will be ok.

Did this snowflake see something she deems offensive? WELCOME TO MY WORLD, SWEETIE!!. I get offended when I see a Gillum or Neslon poster alongside the road. But I dont lose my shyt over it. There's an apartment building in NYC that has a statue of Lenin on the roof. If I drove by it, yeah I'd be a little perturbed, but my inner smartass would be inclined to walk in that building and squat, demanding the owners let me live there rent free, as any good socialist should. Hey, Alinsky's rules for radicals #4, force the enemy to live by their own rules. ☺

"Hallett is ​Cree-Métis..."

Is that all? The universities will need more students, then, and are just crying out for more Somalis, Sudanese and other inner city people. Let's recruit for them. Watch the fun that will follow with government-connected parents of young feminist women.

Meanwhile, Louis Riel is still honored in Canada even though he was tried, convicted and hanged for TREASON and murder.

He led the Métis rebellions in Canada.
