Before there were the Paris terror attacks that changed everything and the second Democratic presidential debate that changed nothing, much of America had been transfixed by the scene playing out on college campuses across the country: black students and their allies demanding an insulation from racial hostility, full inclusion and administrative responsiveness.
There was a part of the debate around those protests that I have not been able to release other than by writing here, one step off the news, but hopefully in step with the history of this moment.
Last week I heard artist Ebony G. Patterson talking about the black body as a “site of contention,†and that phrase stuck with me, because it seemed to be revelatory in its simplicity, and above all, true.

Blow should thank God every day for his black skin. It has enabled him to get an education and a very lucrative job in spite of his lack of brains and talent.
I read it. It is 10 pounds in a five pound bag.
A safe space to protect them from the evil white folk not the black on black crime, thier very own, thats literally killing them in the streets, their all idiots and a prime example of federally funded de education

Black grievance whores demanding an insulation from reality, special treatment, and administrative capitulation.
Libs at college:
No we can’t let people we don’t like in here because it’s a “space for healing”.
Libs at the National level:
We have to let Syrians in because inclusion is who we are as Americans.
What happens when the first Christian student demands a safe space and accommodation of their views?
Charles Blow knows this, did not just experience some kind of fake epiphany, and is well aware that this is the central theme of his own paper's bestseller list title, Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
The whole point is an ideological denial of the existence of the soul in favor of the body, and the goal is to detach black Americans from Christianity in favor of Coates' own racial grievance atheism.
Wow! Does he know that one of the reasons slave proponents believed as they did was the assumption that blacks do not have souls. Now he wants to prove that!
Never mind that he says the same thing about others. Hit him over the head with this!
Things go better with coke!
Hey you angry hate-filled clowns who want Whitey to bow down and give you free college, money, phones and jobs. At this moment there are hordes of subhuman savages who want to kill us all. So STFU and start pulling together with the Whiteys who you hate so much or there won’t be a country for you to hate.
You can’t say you are old enough to have free sex with anyone, use drugs and do anything dangerous - except listen to a dissenting opinion.
Before Paris...America had been transfixed...
Project much? Only in the world of social justice warriors. Normal America if they are aware, are just laughing at the dummies and their fake outrage.
Just what emotionally crippled social misfits need - a space to insure they don’t get contaminated with useful societal values....
