The last two things on my mind while I was in college were:

1) Writing racist BS on the walls, and
2) My classes

Beer and women pretty much occupied most of my efforts and thoughts.

I notice that the Albion Elite 24 Hour Day Care Center powers that be declined to make public the identity of the "student" responsible for this "crime against humanity." I wonder if that would have been the case if the perpetrator of this "dastardly deed" had been white? What do y'all think?

The student should have to go through the same punishment as if it were an actual white supremacist something tells me that will not happen. This student was suspended, not expelled.

Here's a tip for black people that want to do graffiti blamed on a white. Don't use KKK. White people don't like the KKK. Don't use White Supremacist. You're gonna make a spelling mistake and give yourself away.
Use Nazi. Most white people agree that they had cool uniforms.

However, the college insisted that “there is a significant history of racial pain and trauma on campus and we are taking action to repair our community.”

Even after we've figured out that this wasn't what we WANTED it to be, we're still going to make it about what we WANT it to be. Just save your money for the can of paint, and go ahead and say you're an entitled bunch of assholes who have nothing better to do than complain.

The KKK is a defunct group of fat redneck idiots that I doubt most people even remember anymore.

If you’re going to fake some racist shite for attention don’t use the kKK

Started reading Sharyl Atkisson’s book Slanted. This follows along with what she writes about The Narrative.

When the facts don’t pan out, go with the narrative either way.

The KKK was mostly Democrat politicians that recruited dumb redneck Democrats.

They were saying,” silence is violence” before, but I suspect they wouldn’t mind silence now.

I remember when someone took chalk and wrote TRUMP on the campus sidewalks at a liberal college and they had to bring in therapy dogs and counselors for the traumatized students

Well of course. If not for Trump black people wouldnt be forced to live in a society where racism is so in their face that they have to be racist themselves to have a discussion.

But, the investigation uncovered only one person.

The problem here are the university administrators who overreact to episodes like this without there being a full investigation and without having all of the facts. When racist graffiti is written or painted somewhere on a college campus, the administration should ask campus security to investigate. The administration should not jump to the conclusion that this is the work of white supremacists--there are far too many racist hoaxes to draw that conclusion--but should rather await the conclusion of the investigation. If there is a white student who has vandalized university property with racist graffiti, then by all means that student should be subject to university disciplinary action.

The problem is that far too many of these incidents are perpetrated by diversity students who are trying to promote the false narrative about how racist their university is. When this happens the students in question should be subject to the same disciplinary action that a non-diversity student should receive for engaging in the same act. At most universities this does not happen--instead, the university administration falls all over itself and goes into all kinds of contortions justifying the actions as reflecting the pain and suffering that diversity students face every day.

Let me be clear: this is exactly how the LSU administration would react if faced with the same situation. The LSU administration, previously under F. King Alexander but now under Tom Galligan, has bought hook, line, and sinker into the anti-racism argument and presents every day the delusion that LSU is an anti-black institution requiring major reparative action. If a diversity student at LSU engaged in a racism hoax, you can rest assured that the LSU administration would overreact and join the narrative that LSU is a racist institution, and they would do so well before all of the facts are in and the investigation is complete.

Has there even been one single instance where something like this has been legit? Yet dumbass colleges continue to over react to it every single time

Fair question. There are definitely instances in which racist graffiti can be traced to a white student or a group of white students. But it is also the case that some of these incidents are traced to people who are not affiliated with the university, and there is a sizeable number of these cases that are traced to a student of color who is trying to make a political statement.
