Racism at University of Missouri is real, whether you believe it or not
Kansas City Star ^ | 11/12/15 | Jeneé Osterheldt

Posted on 11/13/2015 5:10:59 AM PST by madprof98

For months, I have been reading about racism there. I didn't want to write about it. I was exhausted from the never-ending flood of injustice I see as I write about women's rights, #blacklivesmatter, marriage equality and more. It hurt to dive into the dynamics at the University of Missouri, where two students scattered cotton balls outside the campus Black Culture Center a couple of years ago.

And before a single person says it, yes I am aware of black-on-black crime. The numbers are about the same as white-on-white crime.

But...but...

Never mind. It would probably go right over her head.

The guys that did the cotton balls?

Yeah, they also hoisted a Jolly Roger outside the ROTC.

Are we saying this was an “anti-military incident”?

Thanks for the graphic. Payton Head might have seen the ghost of Robert KKK Byrd around campus.

Great answers and thanks for the replies, but what is the significance to them? What symbolism is being thrown down that so offends them when they see a cotton ball on the ground? Do they behave the same when they see tampons?

Or is it all BS?

That doesn’t work either. When there are no white people around to hate, blacks with lighter skin, or blue-black real African skin, are the subject of their antipathy.

What kind of vandalism has been done to the White Culture Center over the years?
Oh wait, there is no White Culture Center. That’d be racist.

The article cited in this post has pictures and the police report. Those and the other information leads me to believe that many people know the race of the suspect, and it’s not good news for BLM.

If it is real, it is irrelevant.

I am offended by the use of the “N” word, no matter what the skin color of the person saying it might be. So how come no one cares if I am offended just because I am “white”?

It is just great how Osterheldt lectures about the world being so awful
"We aren't post-racial, we aren't post-feminism, we are still fighting for equality and humanity across the board."
while telling of getting guidance from the great sellout of feminism, Gloria Steinem. For those who don't recall, arch-feminist Steinem absolved Bill Clinton of all sins against Kathleen Willey, in the NY Times no less, because he stopped assaulting Willey when she said no.
The truth is that even if the allegations are true, the President is not guilty of sexual harassment. He is accused of having made a gross, dumb and reckless pass at [Kathleen Willey] during a low point in her life. She pushed him away, she said, and it never happened again. In other words, President Clinton took "no" for an answer..."
Deemed not guilty of even sexual harassment let alone sexual assault by feminism's godmother while we we had been told over and over by Steinem and her ilk that centerfolds in a locker and unwanted attention are definitely sexual harassment, if not tantamount to rape.

But this is the woman whom our racism expert references with reverence while berating the rest of us. Nice credibility, Osterheldt. Tell us again how you're the authority on suffering and moral right.

Nothing like watching privileged college students complain about injustice.

I agree with her but she is the racist.


The BlackLivesMatter groups are agitators who are racist, Caucasian hating and largely Marxist revolutionaries .

They are using racial sensitivities and laws as weapons against the rest of society and will continue their escalation of the use of this weapon until we stop letting them do so.

Many are Crips and Bloods type predatory gang members who are using race to cover for their criminal behaviors, most of which is directed at victimizing and terrorizing other block people.

None care in the least about the lives of the unfortunate Black kids getting gunned down in Chicago and other places by the black predators.

#BlackLivesMatters is in and of it self descriptive of the mentality of the mentality of it's members. In their eyes, their lives matter much more than the lives of everyone else and their wants and needs take priority over the needs of the rest of society.

Since the BlackLivesMatters members are more important and their needs and priorities take precedence over all others, they are and entitled to riot, loot, destroy, intimidate, beat up, steal from, murder and extort others and entirely justified in doing so by the color of their skin

President Obama created, funded and leads this movement and these are his acolytes, his own personal Red Guards and the start of the civilian army more powerful than the military that he is on record as wanting.

We will be hearing much from them in the next few years.

The white man in a white pickup truck with a Confederate flag shouting the n-word is such a obviously racist stereotype by the professional victims. It’s the perfect way to identify a racist liar.

“So how come no one cares if I am offended just because I am “white”?”

That is exactly why. A few years ago, my former workplace put up posters in the break room announcing the “celebration” of “gay pride month”. I complained to HR. Used all the buzzwords: offensive, violation of my religious principals, hostile workplace, etc, etc. I was told in no uncertain terms that if I didn’t let it go I would be required to undergo sensitivity training as a condition of my continued employment. Had my circumstances been different I might have told them to take a hike, but at the time opportunities for a guy my age were scarce. Where is all this “white privilege” I keep hearing about?
