Really calls out all the BS going on with the "protesters." And finally brings up the Chicago argument many use in response to #BlackLivesMatter crap. Great read.

The execution of an innocent black boy draws the attention of a handful of local dignitaries while the death of a black teenager foolish enough to wrestle a cop for control of a gun helps foment unrest on a nearby college campus seven months after then-attorney general Eric Holder destroyed the fallacy of “Hands Up Don’t Shoot.”

Lies stacked on top of lies create the bullshite we’re witnessing in Columbia, Missouri. Clever faculty members, in my opinion, baited a small group of misguided black students into stirring a racial shitstorm strong enough to attract Twitter-addicted journalists looking for their next relevancy hit off the Black Lives Matter crack pipe.

The absurdity of the past week at Mizzou couldn’t be duplicated on South Park.

A 25-year-old, “Fresh Prince” black grad student threatened to starve himself to death under the pretense that the school president hadn’t done enough to stop unidentified white men from uttering the N-word when passing by in trucks and carving swastikas with poop.




Preach brother Jason preach. He hit the nail on the head with that one.

You are a troll. While I can't speak for all white people, we like people who call out bullshite and hypocrisy. Want to combat racism and save black lives, it starts in places like Chicago, not in Mizzous campus or on Twitter.

chicago surely has its set of problems, but this isnt about Chicago. Black lives matter has a true hypocritical position. No word from them on the 8 year old that was killed in chicago, but up in arms over the n word on the missouri campus.

Again, this isnt about Chicago, but as you have tried to deflect from this situation by bringing up Chicago.

For sure...and this board would most certainly be up in arms about some of the other parts of Whitlock's piece if they read past the specifics about calling out Mizzou.

That doesn't make him wrong in this instance though.

There are straight up legit things for black people to be upset about... Making up things is simply not productive, and fails to address the real things. Like he stated later in the piece, it's as if the groups protesting have no real interest in fixing real problems, only imaginary ones.

Deflect from what? What's going on in Mizzou? Yeah that is nothing but BS being pushed by the race and grievance industry. I would rather spend this media coverage on awareness not on liberal college schtick but on real places like Chicago.

so these kids on this campus cant feel that the campus is hostile towards them, right or wrong, its how they feel and they are well within their rights to protest and march, no matter how misguided you or me think they are.
The president didnt have to resign, i think its bullshite that he did, but at the end of the day, he should have addressed it. It is a difference between responsibility and accountability.
He is in no way responsible for any of the racist or perceived racist incidents on the campus, but he is damn well accountable for them and should have investigated and responded faster.
but him resigning is bullshite and he let them win, when it wasnt necessary.
However, just because you feel its bullshite, these kids dont and the exercised their rights.

now you are deflecting with this Chicago subject. racism isnt happening in Chicago, genocide is happening there and believe it or not, black people are addressing it, even Spike Lee.

and then you throw words like liberal around, what does that mean to anyone, is liberal synonymous with perceived racism, is conservative synonymous with being a racist.

i can play the word game too.

I think what you state is a subset of the greater emotion that people of all races are simply sick and tired of the falsely crafted agendas and overwhelming media bias that serves to create a "situation" for some form of political or monetary gain. Anyone who accurately calls out a person or group for their lack of veracity or hypocrisy in pursuit of these agendas is welcomed news.

Based on what? I've seen rumors/reports that the aforementioned race antagonizers fired off a few rounds into the sky. In that case, he's obviously responsible for addressing the issue. But I haven't seen much on that, so it might be a rumor. If it was just a racial slur yelled, how is he supposed to address it? Some guys at free speech alley said some really mean things and I got upset with them for saying I'm going to hell, should I ask the university to issue a statement?

How do you figure? Are we to view this Mizzou issue in a vacuum? Obviously not, since the Yale video that surfaced around the same time confirms the toxic environment on campuses across America. This particular incident is steeped in a cynical, nefarious agenda among faculty members who want administrators out, but this thing would have never gotten legs if the useful idiots didn't form a mob. And the mob would have never formed if there wasn't a ridiculous narrative about race relations in America right now.

I don't know if your black or not but doesn't it make you mad to see "other black people" act like this?

I guess you would call me a redneck but it pisses me off to no end seeing dumb arse white people act like ignorant fricks.

Those students feel that way because the perceived problem was allowed to fester and was then flamed by the idiot liberals on campus.

Where is the proof of racism there? Somebody supposedly said a word and played with shite. Really. So that is a threat?

surely you know thats not all that is alleged to have happened on that campus, right or wrong, you can call it a mob or whatever, but they are well within their rights.

As I stated, no reason for the guy to step down over shake down tactics. Just address the situation, even if they arent satisfied with that, he never should have resigned.

no, I dont speak for all black people, being I look at idiots on a case by case basis.
Im glad they are actually exercising their rights peacefully and not trying to burn shite down.

But I wouldnt be out there, because I can handle someone calling me the n words, I find it funny, if thats all they have, then they have nothing to hold over me. But thats how I was raised, words dont stop me from achieving what ever I want to achieve. But if its systematic, then yes id be out there.

It's a mob mentality. Obviously I'm not saying they tarred and feathered the guy in a literal sense, but they still drove him out of his job. My understanding is that someone yelled a slur out of a truck, is that wrong?

I'm just curious as to how bringing up Chicago is a deflection. What incentive does Whitlock have in deflecting? It's supposed to help provide context for the whole ridiculous "race discussion" that's happened over the last 3-4 years in America and also serve as a contrast to the privileged lifestyle of the most recent "martyrs" at Mizzou and Yale.

Its certainly a deflection from this campus lifestyle vs a chicago war zone. This is a educational institute, not the south side where you wear your hat to the wrong side, they shoot you. There is no context, except in the black lives matter movement. Thats the common denominator in both, black lives matter is a misguided movement, whose supporters refuse to address the hypocrisy in their demands. However, Whitlock shouldnt mix the 2 subjects, chicago= genocide, missour campus= perceived racism.
2 different things, other than blm being involved in one and not the other, which is hypocritical.
