Since IUPUI has decided not burn Sampson, will they burn the book instead?
Hate to say it, but you have to be very careful what books you read at work. I love history, and was once asked to not bring one of the books to work anymore.
The shear raw ignorance and stupidity of (some of ) my fellow black americans disgusts me to no end. This man is a natural ally reading the history of how his own people fought the KKK and he is punished for it? God grant me favor, that I never meet a person like this AA officer ever again in my life.
The diversity business is completely insane. A few years a go I was working as a contractor for a company which will go unnamed (not really. It was American Express Financial Services, now known as Ameriprise). A co-worker, after a long evening of debugging, announced his triumph with an email to interested parties with a subject line that read: “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead”. First thing the next morning he was hauled into the diversity office and informed that slurs against those at American Express that practice the occult would not be tolerated.
Just think what kind of trouble he would be in now if he had been caught playing “hangman” on his computer, instead of reading a book about the KKK.
I think that the book reading student has a substantial case for a legal tort against IU for racial harassment. If nothing else, his attorney could compel the affirmative action officer to clearly state university policies about racial harassment for the record.
The lawsuit should be filed against both her, as an individual and IU, for violating their own policies to engage in racial oppression.
Since the case would be heard by a jury, this might prove very interesting.
Now there's a real skill set for you. But can she speak and write English.
The "more obscure" group has been a mainstay of the fight against this kind of fascist leftwing oppression on campuses across the land. FIRE deserves support and anyone seeking a cause to spend a few bucks on will be well-rewarded by sending it to them.
They have been especially effective in shutting down the Nazi-like "speech codes" at hellholes like Brown Unversity and U of Delaware.
Here's a quote: "When Mrs. Bowles rejects Montag's "poetry lesson," the fireman can restrain himself no longer. He tells her, 'Go home and think of your first husband divorced and your second husband killed in a jet and your third husband blowing his brains out, go home and think of the dozen abortions you've had, go home and think of that and your damn Caesarian sections, too, and your children who hate your guts! Go home and think how it all happened and what did you ever do to stop it?' "
My God! It must be the death penalty for reading Mandingo.
I think there is only one word to say about this:
WOLVERINES!
An author of fiction could not create a more dramatic duel than the little known 1924 clash of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Todd Tucker's work painstakingly describes a dark chapter in Indiana's history when the governor of the state was an acknowledged Klansman and the Klan boasted 350,000 Indiana members. Notre Dame students faced this formidable foe with the same courage and fortitude that has made their football team the stuff of legends. This fascinating history remains relevant today as the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan spews its hatred from its headquarters in nearby Osceola, only miles from the Notre Dame campus.

It was bad enough when it was just the liberals doing this nonsense, but the same bile comes from so-called conservatives on this forum when one even suggests that illgal immigration is wrong. Only whites can be racists...
I have a copy of William Shirer’s book “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” on one of my bookcases and unfortunately it has a Nazi Swastika on the spine. This has caused more than one guest to my home to suspect that I am some kind of closet Nazi sympathizer. Never mind that the book chronicles the evil of the Nazis and is something everybody should read. Just having the swastika in view is offensive to many who have been brainwashed into being knee-jerk politically correct. But I refuse to take it off the shelf on principle.
