Counselors at Brigham Young U. Offer Students Safe Space Space Over Racist Online Comments
Legal Insurrection ^ | February 16, 2020 | Mike LaChance

The College Fix reports:

Counselors at BYU offer a ‘safe space’ to those affected by anonymous ‘racist’ comments...

...“Why do we celebrate Black history? Why not Mexican history? Or white history?” one commenter asked. Another wrote “Why do we act like all black people don’t get treated well? There are also white, Mexican, Chinese, and other races not getting treated well.”

Sometimes I seriously consider signing up for a course at the state U. in my area in order to pretend that I am offended by something and in need of a "safe space" and whatever counseling is provided at said space in order to satisfy my curiosity about what exactly the counseling consists of. Maybe I can write an interesting article about what passes for psychology these days.

Man, if I ever won enough money in the lottery to quit work and be a professional student/writer the fun I could have with my new career. Who needs a yacht anyway?

Same reasons Muslims are pandered to. They get out in the street and break things when aggrieved. Others, not much to fear, yet.

There is nothing racist about the comments shown here, in the excerpt.

The idea is to brand EVERYTHING a White says or does, or doesn’t say, or doesn’t do, as racist.

Whenever I hear about the need for a “safe space”, this picture comes to mind.

The comments cited in the quote above are not “racist,” they are simply questions about the apparent inconsistencies with which so many race-related issues are treated in today’s society.

“...Counselors at BYU offer a ‘safe space’..”

Put these losers in the Armyx’s “safe space”...a foxhole.

Any response, except submission and complete propitiation to the black activists, will be deemed racist.

The only viable path for the rest of us, is to stop caring about being called racist, or if somebody else is called racist.

More evidence that separation is the answer.

The time to end this dysfunctional racial marriage is way past due. Let each side go their own separate way and be in charge of their affairs.

“racism” is not a set of neutral principles applied to all people. That was not why the concept was invented, and that was not the intent of the people who invented it. By definition, only white people can do racisms.

It is simply a concept to be invoked to derail or preempt debate. No matter the subject, once the conservative is accused of racism, that becomes the subject. Even if “the (white) Democrats are the real racists”, it doesn’t matter. The Left doesn’t care. The discussion has been derailed. You are now playing defense on a new subject. Game over. You can’t have an honest debate with dishonest people. If they call you a name, either disengage or call them one.

George Washington was the first white president of the United States of America - and now you know! Been saying that joke for nigh on 40 years now.

Black History Month has become nothing more than a monthlong Kwanzaa celebration and just as meaningless - giving one race of ALL americans special recognition because of guilt over “racial separation” from 50+ years ago after we had a civil war abolishing slavery (and there were white slaves) from almost 150 years ago. And now elite universities are trying to re-establish racial segregation because it’s GOOD.

BS. This is more about keeping America divided so the Democrats can continue to push forth their socialist policies - at which point they’ll enslave the populace again.

Left picture: T level = 1070 (at least).
Right picture: T level = 270 (max).

Baylor, a Southern Baptist university, and the LDS have been infected with social justice.

You said “... the LDS have been infected with social justice”. As a graduate of BYU, I don’t believe that. At the same time,

I don’t condemn people for exercising sensitivity to race, but you won’t hear anyone apologizing for their race at BYU.

Interpretation is everything and all they need to convince their minions and slap a sticker of racist on it. Its all about control. Truth is like racist to us
