parrot 789 Posted November 10, 2015 Yeah, imagine getting upset because you got harassed about your skin color and the school wouldn't do anything to correct the problem. Stupid people. They should just sit their and take it and understand that they are the inferior race. Yeah, it was so poetic watching the blonde WASP take out her racial frustrations on the Asian guy.

mighty_thor 115 Posted November 10, 2015 They tossed out the guy that refused to meet with them, had his driver push them out of the way with his car, and generally ignored them until the football team got involved. Exactly. He changed his tune after the football team was going to cost the school a lot of money and the school was getting bad publicity. He even admits that he should have been more proactive.

KSB2424 3,083 Posted November 10, 2015 Watching those video's I wanted to understand what exactly they were protesting about. What events led up to this as they seemed really passionate. The Washington Post gave us a rundown here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QqQIwAGoVChMI3_Gq5KCGyQIVAVEmCh2PIQ-q&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fnews%2Fgrade-point%2Fwp%2F2015%2F11%2F09%2Fthe-incidents-that-led-to-the-university-of-missouri-presidents-resignation%2F&usg=AFQjCNGPBkLmGeGNgPNIawDdrhBbvaxfFQ My questions are: 1. The guy that drew the swastika in charcoal was sought after, caught and punished. What else do they want from the school? 2. So on two occasions the past year a drunk white guy used a racial slur. Is that a good thing? Of course not, but shouldn't the white dude be called out (see #1 above). But the kicker for me is this: Mandatory diversity training announced: Oct. 8 The university said that all incoming freshman will have to receive online diversity training. The move was welcomed by some students. But activists were more skeptical, calling the move a “knee-jerk” reaction to improve the school’s image. So the school (i.e. President) did listen a month ago and announced the following above. This seems like a good start. No? After reading the bolded above and watching them bully the Asian photographer its clear this group is drunk with power and are doing the exact things they are supposedly concerned about.

They should just sit their and take it and understand that they are the inferior race. The school found the dude that drew the swastika and charged him with a crime. He got punished by the law. They did do something. The school, over a month ago, announced they would include mandatory "Diversity Training" to every incoming freshman. That is doing something. What exactly do you want the President to do? It appears he was starting and trying to offer more Diversity education and also punishing those responsible if they could be identified.

The school, over a month ago, announced they would include mandatory "Diversity Training" to every incoming freshman. That is doing something. What exactly do you want the President to do? It appears he was starting and trying to offer more Diversity education and also punishing those responsible if they could be identified. There was more than one swastika. They didn't get the crap guy. Their diversity training was just going to be an online thing the students were to fill out. The President didn't do anything until the protestors called for his firing. The president had lost control at that point. the Board went ahead and implemented some changes with the ouster of the President: As the two resignations were announced, the Board of Curators unveiled a slate of new initiatives to address racial tensions on campus, including hiring a diversity, inclusion and equity officer for the entire University of Missouri system. The university will also provide additional support to students, faculty and staff members who experience discrimination; create a task force to create plans for improving diversity and inclusion; and require diversity and inclusion training for all faculty, staff members and incoming students. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/10/us/university-of-missouri-system-president-resigns.html?_r=0 Sounds like they got some action from a peaceful protest. I don't see what the problem is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,558 Posted November 10, 2015 Coleman Young became mayor when I was two so Detroit has been a sh1thole for as long as I can remember but Flint's decline is more recent and more tragic. It use to be a really good place to live until they shut down the factory so its not like the people there voted for an Al Sharpton clone to drive it into the ground like Detroit voters did.

Magnificent Bastard 190 Posted November 11, 2015 The Rosa Parks moment was orchestrated, and there was nothing wrong with it. She was a good, decent woman, and they brought attention to how she was treated and it resonated. But these new, I hesitate to call them civil rights advocates, let's say attention seekers, have no clue how to get public support. They pick the absolute worst people to get behind. Michael Brown and Eric Garner are not the type of people that I'm going to have any sympathy for. The guy who got shot in the back in South Carolina was a true victim, and if they had concentrated on that injustice, maybe more people would pay attention and care about their issues. They make it easy to be dismissive of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
