1. How about black people quit using the word too.
2. How about black people quit being so sensitive to the word—YOU give it power.
3. “Multi-cultural” =/= “Black”. It includes ALL cultures including “white” and European. So if you want a “black only” building, then say that.
4. Hunger strike? Yea, most of those people couldn’t go a few hours without a meal.

Well that's a pretty dumb thing to say.

If I was that receptionist I would come in for lunch with a big bucket of Popeyes. See how long the hunger strike lasts then.

"You have 1/2 hour to pack up, say your goodbyes, and GTFO. Those who opt to stay will be arrested and prosecuted. Then they will be expelled and we will just replace you with others next year."

It’s been fascinating to see it change from equality to equity

Every white person participating in that protest should be stripped naked and dropped into the worst section of Monrovia.

They won't. The attention they crave isn't worth getting a little hungry over.
If OU gives into this bullshite they will get what they deserve.

Both can be slurs against a segment of the population. One racial, one an age group.
They don't carry the same weight, but we also don't know the context and what other perceived slurs were included in the discussion.

And doesn’t participate in an employee ownership program. I mean, the private employees are basically slaves

Point in case here. Equality isn’t enough. The goalposts must always be moved

But for real, not being able to say certain words, even in an academic setting in reference to historical usage or documents is completely ridiculous.
I understand not using the word as it was used to create separation, intimidation, etc but how stupid if you can’t comprehend histOrical documents and being warned prior to.

I'm in full support of this new multicultural center for marginalized groups. Keeps them ... segregated if you know what I mean.

"Okay boomer" is not a slur in any context.
It's hilarious to see a generation who shits on the younger "snowflake" generations so much melt over 2 words so badly.
Edit: I'm not defending this "BERT" reaction though. The proper reaction was to just say "okay boomer" and move on.

These clowns think intermittent fasting is protesting.
They’re demanding justice be served all because a professor quoted something verbatim? If he wasn’t using the n word in a derogatory sense, then why must they remove him? Why does a multicultural center have to be built in retaliation to something that benign?

That part is no different than removing statues or changing street names. We want to judge people of the past using today's "rules" for lack of a better term.
