the president HAS to provide or should try his BEST and BEST EFFORT to provide?you really expect the the president and his staff at a university will know what every Tom, Dick and Harry are up to on a Wednesday night?Why isn't Obama, the CA state Governor and the CEO of the company in CA that got shot up last week on the hook for the shooting?
12/6/2015 10:21:10 AM
Yeah they are on the hook and I'm assuming Obama's address tonight won't be to blame the victims for being shot.

The difference is those victims are actually victims... because, you know, something actually happened to them. When I criticize Mizzou I'm not victim blaming, because there are no victims, only hubristic race-baiting brats and gullible misled liberals. Tim Wolfe, the Chancellor, common sense, and free speech are the only actual victims from this (and the janitor who had to clean up the anti-semitic symbol).
12/7/2015 2:07:14 PM
Even if you don't believe racism exists, you have to suspend disbelief in order to understand how the overwhelming majority of people who believe racism is a legitimate threat with legitimate victims would see that as victim blaming.The whole "I disagree with the concept of racism therefore everyone who bases anything on a premise that racism exists is crazy" argument is pretty naive.

When I say the existence of racism, I'm not just saying something that happens to a few people here and there, I'm specifically referring to the widely accepted notion that racism is something that has affected all minorities in one way or another at some point in their lives. A notion that I know you disagree with completely.
12/7/2015 5:58:05 PM
When you said "specifically" I got excited... but then you "specifically" referenced the vague "concept" of racism. I don't disagree with the fact that people have different experiences/advantages/disadvantages based on race, I just disagree with using "racism exists" as justification for behaving like a brain-dead idiot, like liberals ITT are so fond of. #IStandWithMizzouI also think it's despicable when liars "cry wolf" with such sensitive issues because it misleads gullible people with good intentions, and only causes division... taking attention away from real tangible problems that afflict black people disproportionately.Furthermore, your ignorance in not being able to separate actual racism from grandstanding liars and the media pushing a false-narrative, contributes to the problem.
12/7/2015 6:53:40 PM
you're right about some people being liars. Lets pretend all of the protesters at mizzou were lying and somehow grew up in missouri without ever actually being victims of racism. Its still the responsibility of the president to acknowledge the actual victims and not make statements to the false-narrative victims that construes insensitivity to the actual victims. If they baited him into saying something dumb and he said something dumb, them being wrong still doesn't excuse his statement. Thats the double standard of being a public figure.
12/7/2015 7:03:32 PM
how is the president ( or anyone for that matter ) supposed know the difference between the lies and real instances of blatant racism? Are the protesters lives better now that the head of the school quit? why would anyone make up allegations of racism? There is an underlying issue with the moral compass of a person that would do that.and was there an instance on that campus where racism prevented anyone from getting an education? (the reason for the University and the only reason anyone should be there...to become a contributing member of society) If someone shouted something offensive, wrote something mean, knocked over a mailbox, you don't protest....you go on with your life. It ain't always easy. Racism is everywhere, you don't fire people just because you heard about it.

Also, Baltimore and Chicago and most places like that have huge corruption issues in the government, including the police department. Police corruption erodes public trust. Without a trustworthy law enforcement, people cannot properly work with police to fight crime which ends up producing an environment that is not safe for children to learn. Its all connected.

^Acknowledging the problem is easy and is the required minimum. Fixing it is going to take decades and a national effort to educate people on things you think are harmless like microagressions.http://diversity.arizona.edu/sites/diversity/files/stereotype_threat_overview.pdf

I think it would help to "fix it" if you could actually define what "it" is. Or at least differentiate between "it" and false narratives.As we have seen with this Mizzou false-narrative, vague references to "oppression" or "racism" seem to provide liberals with a "I'm a victim" trump card to reason/evidence/facts/reality and there is rarely anything of substance behind these accusations (especially when they are outright proven lies).If you are going to cite "micro-aggressions" or "self-fulfilling prophecy based on stereotypes" as "it", you can take Johnathan Butler's demanded 100 hours of "White people are racist" courses all you want, but it won't change a thing. Unless we all become 1 raced blobs (like the southpark episode where immigrants come from the future) there will always be majorities and minorities and cultural differences both negative and positive. That's reality, and being offended by it doesn't fix anything.Regarding the Stereotype Threat reference... if people are of the mindset "people think my race is worse at this, oh no now I'm nervous and suck" maybe they need mandatory courses explaining to them their race doesn't matter?

Instead of trying to make people think those things are true, we need to focus on actually making them true. Right now, a lot of people don't have proper nutrition, education and even clean water. No matter how much we reduce racism, that isn't going to take lead out of the blood of black children, nor is it going to make air more breathable. These problems affect blacks disproportionately because of the history of racism but even if you completely eliminate racism, these issues are still going to have to be addressed. Theres also the policing issue which is a huge problem in places like Baltimore. Many of these areas have widespread corruption and crime. Its hard to succeed when you are surrounded by crime and crime thrives in areas where there is low public trust in police. Police are going to have to be more accountable in order to build that trust so that they can start to do their job effectively.

if you can't provide proper nutrition and a safe place to live, to ANYTHING....child, dog, cat, fish.....then why subject yourself and the dependent to it? How does that make your situation, the child's situation, the neighborhoods situation ANY better? don't have it if you can't take care of it, on your own, not on the gov't dime....that just breeds another generation of entitlement.It's obvious that once the 'racism' and white man is holding down the blacks argument was debunked, that the narrative (in this thread) turned to the REAL problems....corruption in gov't and police forces, and trying to bring up kids in an area where there aren't enough jobs/resources to help the next generation succeed.[Edited on December 8, 2015 at 4:19 PM.

So was the Mizzou president responsible for the poor nutrition and air quality of young black children in the hood?Is that what Johnathan Butler was protesting when lying about the KKK and being hit by a car?

^ What?so are they or are they not actually committing the crimes?if a police officer is sitting on my street and sees me doing criminal activity, I should be arrested. It doesn't matter what neighborhood it is. If they know gangs/drugs/guns are prevalent in an area, why wouldn't they take a closer look?

i wasn't asking if 'they' were sentenced more harshly. That's for another time and place. Didn't really read that much on the 'stats', but was there any reporting on repeat offenders and why certain races may be held longer in jail?I was asking if they were committing the crimes.So what if wealthier areas are doing coke in the comfort of their house, kinda hard for a cop to spot that.But if you are on the street corner selling drugs, or doing any illegal activity in the view of a police officer, regardless of race, you should be arrested.being arrested in the commission of a crime is not racism.
12/13/2015 6:37:48 PM
Hah, gonna completely ignore sentencing, as if it's not indicative of the greater problem.
12/13/2015 7:48:53 PM
An incident in 2010? When the students were arrested? What more is needed? They committed a crime and were punished for it. Non of the students involved in the hoax protest today were involved with that. The fact that it is referenced as evidence tells you how weak the case is for "oppression".The same student that lied about the KKK presence on campus, said non-students that were drunk yelled slurs at him? What does that have to do with Tim Wolfe, or Mizzou, if off-campus assholes yell shit at people? Has anyone here ever walked back to campus from a party late at night? Drunk people yell shit and harrass people, even if it is racial, they are just words. That is weak shit to justify a hoax-protest bitch fest. Especially since the person referencing it has a record of lying about racial injustice.
