http://www.westernfrontonline.com/2015/11/24/breaking-wwu-classes-cancelled-due-to-hate-speech-targeted-at-students-of-color/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.

Fuck them. Next thing they'll want is all the High Fivin' White Guy videos taken off Youtube.

What next? Billy Quan too violent? Fuck this generation.

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.Swaye said:So basically if someone drops an N-bomb in any little faggoty pussy kids direction at any campus we shut down the school?

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.
jesus fucking christ.

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 detailsGrundleStiltzkin said:Can't make this shit up

clearly missed that, my bad
-
Mother fucker.
in part because the Viking mascot doesn’t portray students of color
Jesus Fucking Christ.
Really?
God Dammit.
I Miss 'Merica.

Coming soon to every fucking school in the US

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:
-
Change it to the Black Vikings
-
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.)
-
These little motherfuckers are going to cry wolf one too many times. They may have already.
This is absurd. -
They can meet halfway and model the mascot/logo after this:
Problem solved. -
Don't fuck with Techno Viking!
-
If you haven't tried it, don't knock it... better than a stagnate pussy after bleeding for a week.
-
Just add salt.

Nothing wrong with a good skull fuck.
-
White boys at San Diego State need to rally up and protest about feeling unsafe with the Aztec mascot looming over them.
-
They should be more worried about buying roofies in TJ after the donkey show and El Chapo looming over. La Raza, vatos locos 4 evah homes.

hearing random rumors...
Unclear...
Something about Viking Horns... Coeds... Unnatural acts... Snapchat... Daddy...
