re: Time to deal these SJWs (Melissa Click of Missouri)

There in lies the problem with these groups. There may have been a legitimate concern and a few isolated events, but it took on a life of its own and now it is hard to discern wtf went wrong in the first place. These people are desensitizing the public to the terms racist and bigot. They're so quick to pull that card that it is impossible to separate the legitimate claims from the frivolous bullshite. They're undercutting their own agenda, but they don't give a frick because as long as they get one step "forward", they'll sacrifice 100 steps back.

I generally agree with this, BUT, with social media, the mainstream media's desire for clicks and ratings you have a constant voice telling you how offended you should be. Until that is stopped, no one will be able to be desensitized. Especially when the government is involved and telling you that you should be offended.

They were originally griping about the administration not doing anything about it. What was the administration supposed to do? For all anyone knows, that story could've been fabricated by the professional protestor/student body president (yes he is actually a professional protestor)

It would be so nice if millenials were historically and culturally literate enough to see the clear historical arc of the entire SJW movement. Where it began, who funded it, what it's goals are, how it has morphed through the last 50 years in American culture.

The Marxist/Statist/Coercive assumptions that result in this mindset lead to a very specific place.The psychology of those who gravitate towards it also have a very specific track record. How cute that so many believe this is something "new".

Great article from The Atlantic

Why should it matter if they know who did/didn't do it? That has no bearing on whether they should be able to gripe about it or not.

---

They can gripe all they want. Nobody should have to listen to them.
Nobody should lose their job just because a group of pansy-asses is screaming incoherently.

It used to be taught to kids that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
Now we have sanitized society so much that grown men and women are spending their time crying over words from drunken idiots and demanding all kinds of stuff in response.
"Safe space" - what kind of bullshite is this?
Sticks and stones are about to make a comeback.

I dont think the original gripe about the racism and lack of reaction from administration was made up.

I'm failing to understand just how, given the examples of racism that apparently occurred, the Mizzou administration was supposed to react.

These were incidents caused by unintelligent and racist individuals, no question. However, those individuals were not officials or staff of Mizzou, yet the university is being accused of taking part in systemic racism. These incidents could occur on any public space in the United States. No level of enforcement could have stopped them without infringing on the basic rights of all.

Even if the administration had implemented mandatory sensitivity training during freshman year orientation, it wouldn't have necessarily stopped these incidents from occurring. Racism is part of a greater issue, and the President of Mizzou was nothing more than a scapegoat.

To me, these "injustices" may be real, but the wrong people are being accused here. The irony is that this group is fighting injustice with injustice.

I don't want your help if you think this way.

Who did it is very important. If it was one of their own to instigate more "gripes" then it hurts their cause.

It's all bullshite anyway. This is all about hurt feelings. No crimes were committed. No court would hear a case based on being offended.

But that is how BLM, and SJW's work. They accuse them all of being racist, and of course the accused is going to cave in.

Actually he wasn't. He quietly took his money and stepped down before he became the scapegoat. Like a boss.

SJW's will never never admit to, or endorse this.

I'm fairly sure that Europe and Canada have courts for this.

So he's gone. Why haven't they packed up and moved? Is Butler's hunger strike over?

I know the answers here. These people moved the goalpost. They've found something that gives them a ton of attention and makes them feel more important than they are.
