Black Lives Matter Shut Down ACLU's Campus Free Speech Event Because 'Liberalism Is White Supremacy'
Reason ^

Posted on 10/04/2017 1:11:34 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

It was the last remark she was able to make before protesters drowned her out with cries of, "ACLU, you protect Hitler, too." They also chanted, "the oppressed are not impressed," "shame, shame, shame, shame," (an ode to the Faith Militant's treatment of Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones, though why anyone would want to be associated with the religious fanatics in that particular conflict is beyond me), "blood on your hands," "the revolution will not uphold the Constitution," and, uh, "liberalism is white supremacy."

This went on for nearly 20 minutes. Eventually, according to the campus's Flat Hat News, one of the college's co-organizers of the event handed a microphone to the protest's leader, who delivered a prepared statement. The disruption was apparently payback for the ACLU's principled First Amendment defense of the Charlottesville alt-right's civil liberties.

Organizers then canceled the event; some members of the audience approached the podium in an attempt to speak with Gastañaga, but the protesters would not permit it. They surrounded Gastañaga, raised their voices even louder, and drove everybody else away.

I recall a guy in Ken Burns BASEBALL series talking about Jackie Robinson and his anger, he said nothing that would happen would ever make up for the injustice Jackie received and how he was treated, and it is a general feeling ALL BLACK PEOPLE SHARE.

Nothing anyone does, left, right, center will ever be enough.

Politically, this might be a small dose of good news.

From memory, in modern times, Black American voters have never peeled off from the Democrats and supported a Third Party candidate.

A Third Party Black presidential candidate could be very helpful to the GOP in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Florida.

Before you all think that some are waking up to liberals, understand this. Antifa is for outright totalitarianism on the scale of Mao and Pol Pot. They would just as well line up their liberal enablers up against the wall if they ever got control.

EVERYTHING is white supremacy. Funny that the nearly all the BLM protesters were white so their protest was also white supremacy!

“Before you all think that some are waking up to liberals, understand this. Antifa is for outright totalitarianism on the scale of Mao and Pol Pot.”

So they are on the same team as garden variety democrats.

I'm reading a book about a historical battle for control of the Left. It's about how Stalin came to power.
