"This just in...Racism is still alive in America and college kids are still stupid and misguided assholes..OMG, the humanity.

Bonus story, apparently Universities are havens for the occasional fascist-level moron associate professor who has never put in an honest days work in his/her life.

Next week, we'll take a hard look at the growing opinion that everything on the internet isn't always accurate

There are plenty of stories written about this on the Internetz...pick whichever one suits you best and tell me how you support these actions.

At the very least there is sad irony involved.

Same old Rock. Wolfie calls him on the ridiculous source for the unverified story, and Rock comes up with another link to....

The same ridiculous source.

The Dartmouth Review, of course, is basically one big right-wing uterus which pumps out more egregious racist assholes than I could shake a pointy stick at. Ann Coulter wet her Mein Kampf teeth there. So did Dinesh D'Sousa. Little goosestepping eggheads migrate to Dartmouth like Texas cops to a mixed-race pool party.

If you're looking for honest reporting about a Black Lives Matter protest going to the Dartmouth Review is like going to Stormfront for an Anne Frank remembrance.

i work on campus and there is just too many words involved
Real issues and serious threats are being brought to the forefront and people are being held accountable THAT MATTERS
Students are getting too sensitive and crying wolf pre-emptively is a bit annoying (safespace is a running gag on campus)

The real danger is turning words like multicultural/politicallycorrect/safespace into BAD terms i saw dangerous talk from a preacher saying stuff like we are so open minded our brains are falling out of head as if being acceptant and open was a bad thing

People dilute the message by complaining about everything but then real issues like discrimination/blackface come up and the racist/rightwing can say stop being so sensitive when they are clearly wrong. And that type of public perception is very hard to reverse and takes us back a step

You mean the if-it-hasn't-happened-to-me-then-it's-not-real-and-if-I have-to-reflect-on-my-own-privilege-and-conduct-then-I-will-dismiss/discount/negate/ridicule-others'-experiences-with-discrimination-that-I-can't-recognize-and-refuse-to-anyway approach to life?
Quite possibly.


I thought putting asterisks around the word would help indicate sarcasm, clearly not!

Did anyone hear about that person who posted on Twitter that they would kill black people at Kean university....than it turned out that it was a black alumnus of the university. Crazy world we live in.




Hey sergeboi,Yes, I did hear about it and it was a deplorable thing to do. I don't condone such behavior irrespective of who perpetrates it. I don't have any respective persons in my social critiques. Bad is bad! Maybe one day, you'll realize how much I value equity, which in your parlance, makes me a 'liberal.' Truth be told, I hate partisanship as it undermines thinking for oneself. I approach matters based upon my weighing of the facts.Peace,Big Stacks from Kakalak
