Hold the frick up, "Trump 2016" is a bigoted statement now? I swear to god I may end up voting for Donald Trump just because I hate the PC bros who hate Donald Trump infinitely more than I hate Donald Trump.


Quote from the article is what I'm beginning to think Trump is hoping for.

I'm so sick and tired of these morons railing against him, I'm tempted to vote for him.

After all, we are likely gonna have a giant douche vs. shite sandwich decision to make for our next president.

Not all of them. My cousin busted her arse and received scholarships to get into Emory. Now I'm triggered. If it weren't for this blizzard I'm sistuck in, I'd meet you at a Sonic.










She is liberal, but she's not an overly sensitive diva. She probably laughed at these people. While I'm progressive, crying over something this stupid just makes you look bad. It's like this generation were never warned about crying wolf.

I think trump is an a-hole. And you're free to protest him as much as you want. But you have to let the other side do the same. The Klan or Nambla have as much right to free speech as anyone else. That's the thing people can and should be able to say anything they want, short of a threat. If you think otherwise, then you're just a hypocrite.

The "we're scared" approach is nothing more than an attempt to bully people into squashing speech.

Until recently, I was a big fan of safe spaces, but someone showed me how they really are used to quelch free and open debate. Essentially, they want one-sided speech.

They want to dictate to others how to think and what to believe. End free speech and democracy and install a dictator who will force their ideas on the populace...for our own good of course.

There might be hope for you after all.

It's quite obvious to any thinking/logical person what these people are trying to do. The sad thing is these supposed 'leaders' at Emory are falling for it hook, line and sinker.

So Bernie Sanders can say "If you are white in this country you don't know what it is like to be poor, you don't know what it is like to be oppressed"

but Trump can say "We must build a wall on the southern border of our country to stop illegal immigrants"

and one is racist and one is not

College is a time in your life when you should be exposed to ideas and things that challenge your belief system and enlighten you or challenge you, make you feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or good about yourself, empowered. The good with the bad, it's part of preparing you for the real world.

If somebody in chalk wrote "Feel the Bern" nobody would bat an eye.

Dad is a big libertarian/free speech kind of man and we've had some good discussions. So, I understand that you don't get to protest but block people from protesting against you.

It is a form of bullying ... say something against us and we'll call you "racist" or say that you are "scaring" us.

I have always hated people who are hysterical. I'm not a Trump supporter, but we'll survive his Presidency.

Yep. They're little leftist dictators. Elect a radical leftist president and this is what the educational system gets saturated with.

I know two of the people in the picture. One of them also had a long post on Facebook about this bs.

How so? Most people in this thread are upset with what's happening at Emory and not with Clay Travis. People would have the same response if someone from Barstoolsports.com wrote it.



yep. Even if Kim Jong-Ill (sp?) wrote that, I would still be in full agreement. great commentary
