Black Lives Matter activists at Princeton University have taken over the presidentâs office and say they wonât leave until the school acknowledges former U.S. president Woodrow Wilson as a racist and renames all buildings currently honoring him on campus.
Members of a group calling themselves the Black Justice League walked out of their classes late Wednesday morning and assembled at Nassau Hall, where they were met by Princeton president Christopher Eisgruber. The students presented a list of demands inspired by similar lists that have been seen at Yale University, the University of Missouri, and elsewhere.

I think this is beyond hilarious. Wilson was such a sanctimonious progressive jackass. Here is a good critique:

To ALL:
If anyone can figure out a way to convince BLM to next attack Franklin D. Roosevelt, it would go down as the best prank ever.
Pretty good math dept.
Other than that go ahead and shut it down.
You forgot to mention also that he was a Globalist and wanted the U.S. to be apart of the League of Nations but you are 100%, there is nothing to celebrate about the guy, he was scum of the lowest order and I think Bill Clinton had more morals than him, I hope he is burning in hell.
P.S. I think that stroke he got was an act of god maybe.
Okay ... ya got me. I meant Bobby Byrd.
LOL, I knew who you meant FRiend, I just couldn’t resist yanking your chain a little ... have a good night! :)
hate to admit it, but they have a point
I hate agreeing with the BLM thugs but what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. How about we start with renaming the Wilson Bridge in DC?
Embarrassing doesn't begin to describe it.
Now, who would you want to replace WW with? Can we rename buildings with Ronald Reagan or Nathan Hale? Or do want the name replaced with Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson or Shelia Jackson-Lee?
Yeah....lol...they do....this time..
Corporations that hire so carelessly deserve the troubles they let in. (Same might be said for countries that let islamics in) company management has a responsibility to the shareholders to hire good qualified concur good workers and certainly not the kind that physically disrupt the place
Used to be scholarship recipients were expected to apply themselves to, well, scholarship
This is delicious. LOL
Nothing should be named after that socialist piece of crap (and he was racist too).
Ping to 94
Why should I be upset when liberals eat their own? I find it hilarious when a Clintonite gets destroyed by other Clintonites. And I feel the same way when racist marxists seek to purge a university of all tributes and memorabilia glorifying another racist marxist.
Heh. Wilson was a legit white supremacist who pretty much hated anyone who wasn't a white anglo saxon protestant. As someone else noted on this thread, Wilson said things that would make the KKK blush. It's difficult to find any President more racist than him.
But while we're on the subject of FDR, here are some of his racial policies:
- FDR moved black employees into their own buildings or, if that wasn't possible, had partitions set up around them. He insisted on separate washrooms and belonged to a segregated country club.
- FDR openly allowed labor unions to exclude blacks from their ranks and prevent them from getting work that they desperately needed during the great depression.
- FDR refused to endorse desegregation bills -- and even a federal anti-lynching law -- at a critical time they needed to get through Congress, because doing so would "alienate" racist southern Democrats that he "needed" on board with his New Deal programs.
- FDR invited ONLY the white athletes that competed the 1936 Olympics to the White House. Jesse Owens, who won 4 gold medals in Berlin that year, said: "Hitler didn't snub me -- it was [FDR] who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram." - quoted in Triumph, a book about the 1936 Olympics by Jeremy Schaap.
- FDR appointed notorious former KKK member Hugo Black to the Supreme Court. When Hugo was a senator in Alabama he infamously filibustered an anti-lynching bill. Hugo also wrote positively of Roosevelt in his memoirs, specifically pointing out that while the KKK was increasingly being frowned upon by the American public, Roosevelt considered that a positive on his part: "[Roosevelt's] best friends and supporters he had in the state of Georgia were strong members of that organization."
Go get 'em, Black Lives Matter!
My bet is that the weak-kneed Ivy League elitist administrators will cave and beg for forgiveness.
Ha! I see what you did there . . .
Those streets so named would still be just as dangerous, I expect.
Woodrow Wilson knew something you still don’t know.
You’ll learn, though.
