With the President of the University of Missouri stepping down from his position for the grave sin of being a white person, the left’s internal purge continues. We’ve already seen transgenderism warring with feminism, and transgenderism cleansing old-style feminists from the ranks of the initiated; we’ve seen the hard-core anti-Israel doves in the Democratic Party marginalize the few pro-Israel votes left; we’ve seen the pro-abortion movement run out of town on a rail any remnant blue dog Democrats.

Add “Mau-Mauing†to your vocabulary, it’s a great way to understand some current events, especially as they relate to Mizzou, Yale, Ferguson etc.
We are watching classic “Mau-Mauing†directed at bureaucratic and academic “flak catchers,†like the university president forced to resign yesterday by pure mob tactics. It works, so expect it to spread, as it has to Yale today. Those of us old enough to remember the 1960s have seen this all before, with Black Panther marches, campus administration office sit-ins, etc.
Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers
1970
Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers is a 1970 book by Tom Wolfe. The book, Wolfe’s fourth, is composed of two articles by Wolfe, “These Radical Chic Evenings,†first published in June 1970 in New York magazine, about a gathering Leonard Bernstein held for the Black Panther Party and “Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers,†about the response of many minorities to San Francisco’s poverty programs. Both essays looked at the conflict between black rage and white guilt.
“Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchersâ€
The second part of Wolfe’s book is set at the Office of Economic Opportunity in San Francisco which was in charge of administering many of the anti-poverty programs of the time. Wolfe presents the office as corrupt, continually gamed by hustlers diverting cash into their own pockets. The essay centers on the irony of these failed programs fortifying not the diets but the resentment and contempt of the Black, Chicano, Filipino, Chinese, Indian, and Samoan communities of San Francisco.[2]
Wolfe describes hapless bureaucrats (the Flak Catchers) whose function was reduced to taking abuse, or “mau-mauing†(in reference to the intimidation tactics employed in Kenya’s anti-colonial Mau Mau Uprising) from intimidating young Blacks and Samoans, who are seen as reveling in the new-found vulnerability of “the Manâ€. The flak-catchers smile pathetically, allowing their tormentors to indulge themselves in abuse; the process is seen as a farcical but useful expedient, condescending toward the resentment of these communities. He described one mau-mauer who would show up at the offices and hand over ice-picks, switch-blades and straight-razors that he said were taken from gangs, in exchange for payments from the program. As a result, much of the money of these programs was not reaching its intended recipients, rendering the programs largely ineffective.

Just waiting for Obama to swim Potomac...
1. Do not go to the University is you desire an education
If I were a season ticket holder for the Tigers, I would boycott Saturday’s game in protest of the administrators’ caving to the thugs. And I would not be a ticket holder next year. Boycotting is a two way street.
Just keep expanding the “safe spaces” ie places of total PC conformity and zero free speech or freedom of movement.
If I had children I sure a hell would not be sending them to this University. Ain’t worth a sh!t now.
Imagine what employers would think of the value of a degree from this hellhole.
1) Those who do not remember the 1960’s are condemned to repeat them.
2) The Left never gives up on what it thinks is a good plan. If they fail they just wait, bide their time and try again. Even if it takes several generations.
3) The Black Lives Matter movement is undeniably an attempt to re-ignite the sort of campus radicalism and social unrest we had in the late 60’s with an eye towards next November’s election.
4) The football program essentially drives EVERYTHING ELSE that is going on on any major university campus. This story was small and relatively containable until it looked like the football team might stage a sit-out.
5) The smallest unprovable allegation of slight towards a member of a protected minority class carries more weight than all the mountains of evidence authorities may be able to gather.
6) State funded institutions of higher learning desperately need to be made more accountable to the taxpayers. Forcing university presidents and board members to stand for election on a public ballot is a good place to start.
7) The Left really believes that they are going to win next year and they are making a power grab to position themselves for the day Hillary or Bernie Sanders throw the public coffers wide open to universities.
Pathetic and weak. No matter what you give these bloodsuckers it will never be enough, which is why I'll never give anything to appease my 'white privilege'. They can all go straight to hell.
I fixed some of the popup problem by adding the AdBlock extension to Firefox. Before I did that, Breitbart was unreadable for me.
Anyone who read Wolfe, recognizes the same old, same old of today.
Just read Vox Day’s SWJs Always Lie available for about 4 bucks on Amazon. He lays it all out and gives plenty of tips as to how to handle it. Lesson one: don’t quit your job. Too late in this case.
Some ad blockers help. However I let the complete page load and

There will be mandatory diversity, inclusion and equity training for all faculty, staff and future incoming students.

If BYU pulls ahead with a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter, I hope they keep their first string in and do onsides kicks, razzle dazzle plays, and anything else they can to run up the score as far as possible.
You've swerved very close to the huge disconnect that no one seems to talk about in college athletics. The majority of big time college sports fans are conservative. This starts with the undergrads...student sections are often dominated by fraternities and sororities (far more conservative on average than other students) and this holds to season ticket holders. The very essence of these sports are the conservative competition ethic with clear winners and losers.
Many good ole boys I know in NC were huge Dean Smith fans - naturally - even tho Dean was a far left wacko politically. In fact, there's a lot of conservative grads who pull for a left wing looney U. Just like Mizzou too.
So too is most of the sports media, as ESPN makes clear to us daily. I wonder if this disconnect will ever unravel. I think conservative football fans are helping to keep far left Big Education in business. Ironic.
It’s freaking crazy! I don’t want to live in the same country as these lazy, stupid, entitled babies. If they can rally a cause, shut down the campus, and get the president fired over this, there’s nothing they can’t do. Now I know what happened at Kent State. I remember seeing a documentary about it and one of the National Guardsman said, “We saw them as trying to take over the country and needed to be stopped.”
I’m so glad that none of my kids were sucked in to the siren song of a large university.
Two did community college. One of them is now at a small Bible college in England.
A third is at a very small, private engineering university.
The closest thing they have to sports is an intramural Ultimate Frisbee team, more like a club. The students are there to learn, not to change the world through protest.
No nonsense, no issues or problems.
