Update, 8 a.m., Nov. 24:

University Communications Director Paul Cocke said that the comments followed a campus wide discussion about the university mascot, the vikings.

Original story:

Western has officially cancelled all classes for Tuesday, Nov. 24 in response to observed hate speech on social media targeting Western students of color, according to an email sent by President Bruce Shepard.

It is not known at this time if the perpetrators are Western students, according to the email. A law enforcement investigation is underway, though few details have been disclosed at this time. Law enforcement officials can assure, however, that there is not a threat to general campus safety, but rather a targeted attack.

The investigation is of the highest priority for on campus law enforcement, according to the email.

Regular university operations will continue to be open and operating during this time.

So basically if someone drops an N-bomb in any little faggoty pussy kids direction at any campus we shut down the school? Someone should just drop a nuke on Western. Fucking fags.

Maybe it wasn't about the blacks. It's not always about the blacks. Maybe a black called someone a god damn jap. Or maybe a Jew called someone a faggot.

That's said. Hate speech isn't illegal. It's free speech. It's not clear from the story if there was an actual threat of harm, or if some pussy had their feeling hurt.

Whatever happened to sticks and stones can break my bones but names can never hurt me?

Fuck this generation again.

If the attack is an actual physical threat I don't see the problem. Doubt it is but we won't know until the police give details

Can't be that big of a physical threat.

Carl Eller, Jim Marshall and Alan Page were Vikings of color.

So fuck them for hating on the Purple People Eaters.

BTW, you dumb WWU motherfuckers, by definition BLACK is the absence of color so suck my dick on that one, too.

As a Viking I am shaking and about to vomit

Some of us our proud of are heritage.

They should change their mascot to Western Washington:

CuntWaffle

Change it to the Black Vikings

Doog_de_Jour

Another full blooded Scandinavian here.

This story made me explode this morning when I read it. What the fuck is this world coming to? Why don't these protesters target shit that would really improve lives of minorities instead of going after cosmetic shit like this?

Why don't they just change the name of the university while they're at it?


(p.s. If you haven't seen this, you're missing out. That movie is some greatly under-appreciated satire.)

PurpleThrobber

These little motherfuckers are going to cry wolf one too many times. They may have already.

This is absurd.
