    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?
    Should have or did?

    Everything I've read said he was pretty happy in Columbia.
    Gay means happy, you know.

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

    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.
