College president sorry for saying 'All lives matter'
Fox ^ | 12/10/14 | Maxim Lott

Posted on 12/10/2014 6:10:29 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

The president of prestigious Smith College is red-faced and apologetic Tuesday for telling students on the Northampton, Mass., campus that "all lives matter."

Kathleen McCartney wrote the phrase in the subject line of an e-mail to students at the school....

“We are united in our insistence that all lives matter,” read the e-mail,in which she made clear she was strongly behind the protests, writing that the grand jury decisions had “led to a shared fury… We gather in vigil, we raise our voices in protest.”

But she soon received backlash from students for her phrasing. They were offended that she did not stick with the slogan “black lives matter.”

quoted one Smith sophomore, Cecelia Lim, as saying, “it felt like she was invalidating the experience of black lives.”

I don't even understand what that means. This is what students at an allegedly "elite" college are taught to think?

They angrily demand respect from us yet have none for themselves or each other, much less any for us.

They can go pound sand.

Stupid liberal. Does she think that she can say that ALL lives matter without repercussions?

So, some lives don’t matter? Please tell me whose!

Christians and Jews, according to these people.

Remembering back into the sixties and seventies, college presidents have never been models of courage and leadership.

One of these days, hopefully soon, black people will have their eyes opened to the truth that has been hidden from them for so long. The liberals want them kept permanently in a state of hopelessness and government handouts merely to survive. Liberals want black babies aborted by the thousands to keep them as a permanent minority. Liberals don’t care about ‘black on black’ murders since that is the same thing as abortion after-the-fact.

Liberals care about the black voters only when election time rolls around. But since they comprise only 13% of the population because of abortion, et al, they have to import foreign illegal ‘voters’ by the millions in order maintain their status quo, thus diluting the black voters’ influence even more.

I don’t blame them for being angry, but their anger is misdirected. Their fury and rage will one day turn upon the Democrats that have intentionally put them in the situation they are in................

The number one driving motivation is “get YT”.
Being “helped” by libs is FAR down the list.

That’s why Obama/Jarrett/Holder are so popular.

Blacks have been so coddled and given so much preferential treatment in the past decade-plus that any statement or policy that puts blacks above others MUST be retained, because sliding back to including everyone takes them off of that pedestal. They cannot allow that, and they cannot fathom it. It gets labeled as "racist", of course.

She tried to pay respects to and dignify the protests. Screw her. She made her bed, now lie in it.

Ain't that the truth? One exception was an administrator named Sam Hayakawa who rode his fame to a one-term U.S. Senate seat for pulling out the speaker wires of one of the demonstrators sound systems. Don't remember the college though.

Yeah, he was a RINO, but still far better than anyone who has warmed a California U.S. Senate seat since.

The whole point of the “black lives matter” canard is to legitimate black criminals declaring open season on everyone who’s not of their race, and, especially, whites. When Obola praised St. Trayvon of the Skittles (SBUH) and St.Michael of the Stolen Cigars (SBUH), he praised and justified two wannabe murderers who tried to kill two innocent people whose only offense was to stop them from committing murder and other crimes. Thus, he declared open season on law abiding people of all other races in favor of the absolutely vilest of the vile black criminals.

"...It's OK to kill white people. And they're doing it. ..."

Although crime is generally decreasing, assaults, rapes, murder, and intimidation against white people, by black people, has increased almost exponentially.

I tell my wife not to antagonize black people in public, as they will beat her. She has no idea and lives in a Pollyanna fantasy world. I just want to keep her, and my child, safe.
