    It would be awesome if a graduate of the alleged finest school of journalism in the country would report what the fuck went down at Missouri.

    I don't see much racism here. Much less institutional racism. If anything, the only institutional racism is against whites.

    Lol, but troll on dawg.
    You lost me with the big words man. It was my only choice. I called this guy a sniveling little pussy who needs perspective. That's all I wanted to say.

    Yeah, I was pretty disgusted with how the journalists from the student paper were treated. I never call for people to be fired, but if anyone deserves it, it would be the professor of media that threatened the newspaper photographer on the quad.

    Look @PurpleJ, I feel you on that, the guy isn't a squeaky clean. But isn't that sort of a Maoist critique, that he's too rich?

    I don't know about that story, but if the rich hunger strike kid was white, he'd be getting crucified right now. THAT is racism. Good day sir.

    If a white son of a railroad exec held a hunger strike to protest anti-white racism.

    Here's another disconnect.

    If Mizzou is such a racist intolerant place, how was Michael Sam supposedly tolerated as a gay black man in private for quite a while before that became a national thing?

    How do we know no one ever should have said anything hurtful to him?

    I have no doubt that there is racism at the University of Missouri, it's fucking Missouri after all. That doesn't mean UM upper campus was magically supposed to eliminate it. You can't have a no tolerance policy, that shit doesn't work. Holding campus-wide discussions about fake outrage over racial extremism would have maybe satisfied protesters but it wouldn't have done shit to solve the problem.

    Everything I've read said he was pretty happy in Columbia.

    My man, you have to deal with the cases that confront you. This goes back to what I was talking about with the left and right speaking in entirely different registers. The debate that I've been hearing all week has been whether there's an illiberal left that seeks to constrain speech. You undoubtably have heard a different narrative.

    What I can say is that is it coincidental that there haven't been any white sons of white railroad executives in the media recently?

    as long as the students feel safe and the complaints are being dealt with that's good enough for me.
    And by safe I do not mean the emotional bullshit that people want to claim nowadays. Saying free speech on what you can wear for Halloween is threatening their safety does not count.

    I haven't heard any narrative. Hadn't actually been following the story. Couldn't care less. That kid is a drippy cunt, though.

    I don't give a fuck if the students "feel" safe or not. The University seems to be providing plenty of security so those 'feeling' at risk need to grow up... or LEAVE the University.

    If students are facing threats (which I doubt many are) that is serious and needs to be dealt with. These assholes who want to censor everything are not what I'm talking about

    So the kid who did the hunger strike against white privilege has a daddy who makes 8 million a year.

    Down with the struggle, yo

    I'm sure he's had a rough life being rich and having Affirmative Action and plenty of scholarships available.
