Racism because...? Oh, that’s right. Any negative about O is racism. (for a second there I thought it was 1984 and Reagan just won his 2nd term) Wish I didn’t snap out of it.

I’m assuming the “offending” student was white. If that is the case, isn’t a true act of macro-racism to prejudge the intent of someone purely because of the color of their skin?

This could have come straight out of 1984.

Scary.

Pointing out a very un-presidential action by a president is not racist in a sane society.

A student at McGill University in Montreal, Canada was forced to issue a formal apology for emailing a picture of President Obama kicking open a door–all because some students thought the image was somehow racist.

FORCED? They held a gun to his head? What? They is nothing they could do to me to force me to apologize to some lame ass. If the threatened to kick me out I would sue the bastards and the lame ass.

Was this racist when the Left went viral with parody gifs and praise for the shoe thrower?

I'm tired of the mediabullies.

The same “people” who complained about the Obama pic being racist were the same ones passing around the George W. Bush/Chimp pictures and laughing.

Minority activists at the University of Michigan, for example, have insisted that trivial slights, such as “Having your opinion second-guessed in a group assignment,” are micro-aggressions that betray the campus as a hostile place for students of color.

But what if their opinion is stupid?....it probably is.

That's not Obama. That's Steve Bridges.

He died shortly after parodying Obama.

Anaphylactic shock.

It can be very handy to know everyone's medical weaknesses, can't it?

I would’ve said, “I’m sorry...that he’s our president.” And then I would’ve packed my things and transferred.

“Despite the innocent intentions influencing my decision to use this particular image, I have come to recognize the negative implications of adding the .GIF image within this given context,” he said. “By using this particular image of President Obama, I unknowingly perpetuated this living legacy and subsequently allowed a medium of [Student Society of McGill University] communication to become the site of a microaggression; for this, I am deeply sorry.”

Read that again. This isn't an apology at all. LOL. There is no victim to apologize to. There is no real stated offense. It was written so well that only the most intellectual would find that it was a coerced statement to satisfy the PC. Still, tragically, it does give the ridiculous PC cult a victory.

He is sorry for "perpetrating a living legacy"? Or is he sorry for "allowing a medium of communication to become the site of a microaggression"?

How liberals heard the MLK quote: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin.”

Stop kicking doors open like a petulant child, Obama, and we will consider not posting it.

Americans need to get over these allegations of racism by the communists all of the time. It’s their best weapon against us. If you refuse to allow those allegations to affect you, YOU WIN.

These rediculous accusations do have positive points:

1. They identify the accuser as one who most probably shouldn’t be in college for any reason whatsoever due to weak intellect and poor self-esteem.
2. They also identify the user as pursuing an academic “major” that should more probably have been covered in sixth grade.
3. However, they do provide your local coffee joints with lists of future baristas.
4. And - of most imporance - they identify that college as one of N (where N is a very large number) that has questionable academic standards...and no moral ones.

Another student issued a formal complaint against Farnan for committing a “micro-aggression.”

That, itself, is a form of bullying, because there is no way the claimant was injured by the activity (emailing a gif of Obama). The student who filed the formal complaint did so as a way of bullying Farnan into a type of submission.

Libs/Alinskyites are famous for that kind of tactic.

Until the rest of us turn the tactic against them, they will continue.

Ah, yes, Universities. Those shining edifices wherein thought is encouraged and open discourse invited on a variety of learned topics (Insert the screech of someone dragging a phonograph needle across the vinyl here).

What incredibly oppressive stamp mills the so-called institutions of higher learning have become. When even the video of real events is suppressed because the academic overlords just don't want to see it, it is no wonder that dreck like the intellectual effluent of "Global Warming" and "Grievance Studies" are their products.
