Precisely. I mean, to troll you would do something obvious to get outrageous reactions.

It seems like wearing a hat might get subtle reactions but removal from campus? Holy cow...

I think it's worse for Howard and the black students there if it was intentional.

It means the trolls predicted they were black racists and intellectual midgets, and they were correct.

I can't figure out how it being intentional would be a defense of Howard.

Either you are a bigot or you are not. Those students at Howard have been shown as bigots. That behavior would get you kicked out of many colleges, but it's apparently promoted at Howard.

I can't imagine the national news if an opposite situation occurred.

The people crying troll are funny because they are effectively admitting how pathetic they are.

I mean. Go ahead. Try to imagine the hat one could wear virtually anywhere in America that could get a bunch of white people to decent upon you and call the cops to have you removed?

I'm fairly certain you could be black and walk around with a hat that said "frick white people" and all you'd get is nasty looks.

Exactly.

Like you said, it's actually worse. It means that these young white girls expected to be dealing with intellectual lemmings. The plus for Howard would have been if they all videod the girls while chuckling to themselves and beyond that.......basically ignored them.

Yep.

Imagine a black person predicting that a particular gathering of white people was probably racist......so. They show up to the gathering wearing an Obama hat while saying nothing and all the white people at the gathering lose their shite and demand they be removed.

Yep. Guess that's a successful experiment.

The fact that you think wearing a Trump hat is trolling says faaaar more about you than these girls.

Either that or you have extremely low expectations of Howard students.

I thought this board was all in on protecting free speach? Why is there a 200 plus response melt thread then? It wouldn't be because people are hypocrites right? Nah couldn't be

I'm OK with this so long as the Internet exposes how ignorant and unreasonable the left has become. Trump hasn't made the left crazy; he's exposed their craziness.

This is how we win. Trump proved that elections aren't won in DC, NY, and California.

again, it's hard to call this trolling b/c of how absurd the situation was

if wearing a MAGA hat is "Trolling" these days, that just shows you how batshit crazy that population is

at a certain point having a different political view and simply existing will be "Trolling" them

I would say it was racist to assume that the black students would be so mentally weak that wearing a hat would cause them to lose their shite and call the cops.............but, I'll be fricked if they didn't do exactly that.

yeah the point of trolling to to take a fake, extremist position. that's the problem with calling this situation a "troll", they're basically just saying "we have different political beliefs than you". that's not nearly extreme enough to be a troll

I would say that anyone expecting that kind of reaction is definitely racist.

However you frame it, they got the attention they wanted.

To intentionally incite another person is just juvenile.

In the unending zeal to "get the board" people have reached the point of complete and utter nonsense. His post was all but total incoherence.

"Nazis have the right to free speech regardless how hateful and violent it may be"

Week later

"OMG black students don't like Trump supporters we have to do something!"

I'm just trying to point out the hypocrisy
