aka I'm right and you don't want to deal with it?
For page 5:

" You keep getting stuck in the same loop instead of understanding the bigger picture. "


Funny, I’m the one lacking “understanding” now because I displayed to gullible liberals how this entire Mizzou “oppression” narrative you were blindly defending is false?

I’ve noticed liberals fall back on this a lot, when specific pieces of evidence or specific cases are disproved; they fall back on vague references to “society” or “the bigger picture”. Nobody disagrees the historic racism that caused a disparity of wealth was unfair, nobody disagrees that people saying the N-word are assholes, nobody disagrees that Tyrone’s resume being 10% less likely to get a callback is wrong.

The disagreement I have, that the left deems racist, is that you can acknowledge the above are problems but still call out bullshit when you see it. This entire “Mizzou Oppression” narrative, just like “Hand’s up, don’t shoot” or “Ahmed Clock Bomb” is bullshit.

Liberalism needs these bullshit narratives to convince people they are victims, and since these narratives don’t hold up under scrutiny they have to hide them under the umbrella of “Racism is bad”. That way liberals support these narratives blindly, minorities think they are victims, anyone that disagrees is a Racist, and Hilary Clinton can tweet about it as the social justice champion defending victims.

A rich, entitled, college student claims, with zero evidence, there is “Oppression” in Mizzou, hiding the lack of actual evidence/specifics under the umbrella of “Racism is bad” he convinces liberal sheep, with the help of the social media echo-chamber, that he is a victim and being oppressed. 2 people lose their jobs and he submits a list of demands, one demand is an apology for being “hit” by the president’s car he jumped into after surrounding it. The entire thing is absolute lunacy. This is part of the “pussification” of America, this is what happens when you teach people that they are victims and the world will cater to them everytime they feel offended and throw a hissy fit.

Sure this entire “oppression” thing is complete bullshit run by some entitled, lying, race-baiting, wanna-be activist… but I agree with the “big picture” of “racism is bad”, so I should support this mindless lynch mob and retweet some hashtags and HuffingtonPost articles in the liberal echo chamber!!!

How could anyone argue with you? You're set on denying that racism happens at all in 2015 (you did the same thing in the trans thread saying that no trans people were losing their jobs or being assaulted) and you think everyone is just making it up to get attention or further some agenda.

I know it exists because, despite my empathy and awareness, I'm still guilty of it.

And again, you are conveniently dismissing what the DOJ said about Ferguson by being caught up in the hands up, don't shoot narrative.

What a fucking logical fallacy. I don't think I've ever seen JCE deny that racism doesn't exist in 2015.

JCE I think he's either trolling or a real dumbass!

LOL I like how since I don't blindly join the outrage of the Mizzou "oppression" I am a 1950's era Trump supporting conservative despite my general acceptance of gay rights, advocate of criminal justice reform, and disdain of real discrimination (not the false perceived kind by the overly sensitive PC police).

Honestly I don't see how many African-Americans dealing with real racial injustices aren't pissed that some whiny college kids are stealing the spotlight because they are claiming to be "oppressed" after some dimwit said the N-word and a protestor was claimed to be "hit" by a driver for the "white" establishment after choosing to step in front of the vehicle.

Looking at the "big picture" I can understand and empathize more with the whole Ferguson fiasco then these "oppressed" Mizzou kids.

"It isn’t surprising that the protests have spread beyond Missouri. On Thursday, we looked at the demographics of the University of Missouri’s flagship campus, in Columbia, and found that African-American students, faculty and staff are all underrepresented there compared with the share of African-American residents in the state overall. Also, graduation and retention rates are lower for African-American students than students of other races. But Mizzou is no outlier on these measures."

^ What is your point and what is your supposed solution.

I believe this has been debated in many other threads that now in 2015 this is more a function of culture and socio-economic reasons rather than a racism and a conspiracy to keep African-Americans from achieving. If anything given two individuals with the same grades, extra-curricular activities, testing scores, etc that being a minority is advantageous with all the affirmative action and other programs designed to assist minorities.

I said it wasn’t a “national epidemic” as the TWW liberals were painting it, then as I recall ShinAntonio educated some posters on Federal Laws that prohibit transgender discrimination.

Notice a pattern yet of liberals grossly exaggerating victim narratives, me disproving the narratives, and then liberals claim I said “racism doesn’t exist” or “Transexuals have never been assaulted”?

LOL. Another false accusation, the pattern continues. I denied the exaggerated “epidemic of islamophobia” that came with the Ahmed narrative.

Yeah, so you have ZERO black friends. Really shocking. Maybe if you had even one or two and scrolled through your BF feed, you'd see that they're bothered/disturbed/angry by the whole Mizzou thing and not "annoyed" by people making a big deal out of nothing.

Again, please improve your reading comprehension. "Targeted" implies they were targeted because they were trans, and murdered because they were trans. This is simply not the case. When I call out "activists" for stretching the truth, don't interpret that as me saying "No transsexuals have ever been murdered".

The vast majority of transsexuals murdered this year were black prostitutes. Does the liberal media care about dead prostitutes, or black on black crime? No. If some are transgender however (one more step up the progressive stack) they can convince people there is an "epidemic/national crisis" or trans people being "targeted".

Dude neither JCE or I are defending the racist asshole shouting racial slurs at African-Americans. Nor are we shrugging our shoulders at the cotton ball incident in 2010. This was obviously a prank done to intimidate and/or harass the African-American community.

Regardless there appears to be no evidence of daily "oppression" of minority students at this university. Apparently any comment regarding these protest beyond blind support for protesters riles up the TWW PC police.

LOL there's evidence on this very page. It seems like the evidence you want is proof of someone being paid by the university to find black students on campus and make racial slurs (but even then, you'd just say they should ignore it i bet).

Both you and JCE reject statistical evidence, and you dismiss anecdotal evidence as isolated pranks that people just just ignore. It seems very clear, after hundreds of pages of discussing this, that no evidence will convince you, you simply believe blacks and other minorities should just accept discrimination in America, and stop complaining about it.

Ok, let's just assume that all of this is staged and that black people really ARE just doing this to get attention. Wouldn't that still reveal something really disturbing about race in America? That people would be willing to go to such great lengths to exaggerate racism to force people to notice the 'mild' racism you both seem to be suggesting is what's really going on?

I certainly don't think that's the case at all, but since you're both so convinced it's staged 'faux outrage', maybe you could think about it from a different angle.

Sometimes I think you skim over when I do make rational statements (versus some trolling comments) and just copy/paste the same victim mentality talking points
page after page.

Quote :
"you simply believe blacks and other minorities should just accept discrimination in America"


I don't think they should accept discrimination and REAL issues of discrimination should be addressed. A CMT v BET party is not discrimination. Some asshole shouting the N-word as he drives by (like a coward) some people he ignorantly dislikes due to skin color is not evidence of "oppression" of todays African-American population.

You make it seem like the issue "goes deeper" but from the news articles and from watching videos of the
student protests; the issues legitimately seem as superficial as JCE and myself continually point out. cotton balls 5 years ago, ignorant racists shouting mean things, a protester being struck (after deliberately stepping in front of a moving vehicle) is not evidence of on-going systemic oppression of the black community at this university.

Quote :
"Ok, let's just assume that all of this is staged and that black people really ARE just doing this to get attention."


I honestly don't think this is staged or just done for attention, with the exception of that dude who deliberately stepped in front of the moving vehicle. The majority of these protesters I really think live in some delusion that they are the victim or are protesting for victims of some nonexistent conspiracy against minorities in Univ of Mo.
Their outrage is summed up by this article

Quote :
"Student protesters at Amherst College issued a list of demands Thursday which include disciplinary action and mandatory “racial and cultural competency” training for students behind a series of signs on campus that lamented the death of free speech.

The group Amherst Uprising is demanding that university President Biddy Martin issue a statement saying the university does “not tolerate the actions of student(s) who posted the ‘All Lives Matter’ posters, and the ‘Free Speech’ posters,” which charged that the First Amendment was the “true victim” of the University of Missouri protests, The Daily Beast reported.

The students demanded that the people behind the free speech fliers be required to undergo “extensive training for racial and cultural competency.”

They also asked administrators to excuse them from coursework and classes so they could participate in protests and sit-ins, The Daily Beast reported.

President Martin must also apologize for the college’s “institutional legacy of white supremacy, colonialism, anti-black racism, anti-Latinx [sic] racism, anti-Native American racism, anti-Native/ indigenous racism, anti-Asian racism, anti-Middle Eastern racism, heterosexism, cis-sexism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, mental health stigma, and classism,” the group said.

Three students have also started a started a hunger strike, The Daily Beast reported.

“We want to stress that any action taken by Amherst College to address the demands made will not erase the fact that it exists within a larger system of oppression,” Sharline Dominguez, Cristina Rey, and Carolina Vergara wrote in a blog post. “We believe that we will not be free until this larger system is deconstructed.”

The posters causing so much outrage read “In memoriam of the true victim of the Missouri protests: Free Speech (1776-2015),” and included a short “eulogy,” which read: “Who is constrained by the invisible barriers of our generation’s safe spaces. Censored for the open forum of non-conflicting opinions. Trod upon to build a community of comfort. And violently persecuted for a safer, less vitriolic world. Let us honor the life of the first amendement, and the heroes that it protected: Journalists, Educators, Philosophers, and Free Thinkers everywhere,” The Daily Caller reported.

“If you want to protest this sign, feel free. Because that’s why the First Amendment exists,” the poster concluded.

The list of demands are endorsed by students from more than 50 Amherst student groups, including the Black Students Union, Amherst United Left, and Amherst Christian Fellowship, The Daily Caller reported.

Amherst has been given until Nov. 18 to respond to the demands.

“If there is a continued failure to meet our demands, it will result in an escalation of our response,” the group warned."

Evidence of OPPRESSION? Where????

Why was the Mizzou president forced to resign? Please, enlighten us with your "evidence" that we are so quick to reject.

The evidence I posted, shows a video of the "leader" of this "Oppression Protest" hissy fit running into the Tim Wolfe's car deliberately, then later lying to claim he was "hit" by the car. That should speak volumes of "evidence" to this "protest" you morons are defending.

You have this Mizzou liberal bitchfest confused with actual activism for actual civil rights, but unfortunately it is 2015 and you just have a bunch of entitled brats playing pretend. Hash tag and racebait all you want, I'm sure the brainless liberals will enable you, but eventually it is hard to have a "protest" when there is nothing to actually "protest". I guess that's why Johnathan Butler is jumping into cars, to add some desperately needed "adversity" to legitimate his "oppressed victim" claim?

I want to see their "escalated response." When students are actively saying "fuck free speech," then it's a discussion that needs to fucking happen, so we know who these monsters are. Seriously. This is chilling. This is 1984. "Extensive training for racial and cultural competency?" Holy shit. Just call it what it is: re-education camps. This is actually frightening.

I'd say there's a legitimate point to be made about free speech and First Amendment rights being victimized at Mizzou right now. When you've got a communications professor attacking members of the press, there is something seriously wrong. I don't see much "over the top" about the posters, as described above. Unless there is something more going on, only one side is looking bad in this, and the people calling for Stalinist purges of university students.

http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/instructor-at-harris-stowe-gets-almost-million-in-racial-discrimination/article_a72e6120-e535-597b-b5e8-dedaa64386bf.html

Quote :
"At the time, Harris-Stowe’s board had approved a reduction-in-force policy, which spelled out the procedures determining who is laid off and who is spared.

The lawsuit alleges that Harris-Stowe failed to follow its own policy when the school skipped over several black faculty members and dismissed Wilkins instead.

The lawsuit goes on to say that the entire department was purged of white faculty except one white instructor who was protected by tenure."

Apparently #fuckfrance & #fuckparis have picked up some steam on twitter among some of the BLM crowd

I'm quite confident they can get their point across that France did bad things to black people in their colonial era as well in a way that won't get them labeled as assholes in the process

Just assuming that getting called assholes by many who would potentially be in favor of their cause isn't too favorable for their movement going forward

Has it? Or is it sort of like the one-off tough guys who respond to every Obama tweet with virulent racism but don't really represent any thing or group of people?

Good news guys! I made a friend at Run Club last week who is a real African American from Togo. We are Facebook official now and everything, going out for beers after running. Am I free to make logical observations on issues/problems faced by the African-American society now?

LOL #FLM French Lives Matter.

Screw those frenchies, they had slaves in the 1700's! We have real problems here some African-American was called a N-word by a guy in a truck speeding by and some frat bros mocked BET by having a BET theme party! AM I RITE

Seriously though, does BLM not realize that often their action are counter-productive and turns off those that may be sympathetic to their cause? Instead of the too it is becoming more apparent that #BLM means Black Lives Matter Only

The one bright side of the Paris shooting is there is less undeserved media attention going to this hoax-protest in Mizzou.

In hindsight, it really is fascinating to see how quickly and blindly liberalism jumps onboard the "Oppressed Victim" narrative. This case was of particular interest because typically even false narratives require at least something to happen as a rallying cry for outrage culture. In this case all it took was a minority lying about "oppression" and the liberal media echo-chamber blindly supported it.

Even after the facts, lack of actual evidence, and "character" of this "movement" have been revealed, gullible liberals, who finally realized this entire thing was just a hoax, will defend it by saying "oh yea, well racism is still bad". The problem is they can't differentiate between legitimate cases of racism and ones fabricated to perpetuate a false narrative of victimization.

But hey, what do I know about oppression? Johnathan Butler, graduate school student, millionaire family. Oppressed because Tim Wolfe, in his arrogant white male privilege, refused to pay lip service to a mob of rude, race-baiting "activists". Oppressed because he walked into a car moving 1mph and then lied about it.

Why are you so insensitive bro?

Someone poured cotton balls in front of the African-America center in 2010!

Seriously though my roommate is very empathetic towards on-going issues of discrimination in this country yet he was even bitching that the Mizzou issue seemed just to be some kids trying to get attention and using social media to get in the spot light.
