2nd racist note found targeting black student at Westfield State University
The Republican ^

Posted on 09/24/2017 2:37:31 PM PDT by matt04

For the second time this week, Westfield State University has been dogged with allegations of racism after a black student reported a hateful note left at her dorm room.

The note, handwritten and containing misspellings and grammatical errors, reads "Black people dont desearve to be 'united.' Your worth nothing!"

The student who found the note posted it on her Facebook page and it immediately began being shared over all corners of the Internet.

It is the second such note reported this week at the university. Another black student circulated a photo on social media this week of a note posted on the student's dorm room door that used a racially offensive term toward the student.

The two incidents has caused the college to react immediately to contain the fallout.

College president Ramon S. Torrecilha issued a statement expressing the disappointment he and many feel about what he called "an uptick in racist, sexist and homophobic incidents."

But he said: "It is important for us to remember that this is how oppression works. When there is an attempt to change the order, pushback will occur and that is what these incidents represent. Know that this does not shake our resolve to change the climate on our campus. We will continue to monitor events, increase the presence of public safety, pursue investigations and build our plan for moving forward." "Clearly, there is more work that needs to be done."

He also announced the college would conduct a planned "Day of Acknowledgement and Listening." There will be two "listening sessions", one from 10 to noon and the other from 1-3 p.m. in the Owl's Nest of Ely Hall.

Possibly she wrote the note herself.

I remember there were other cases of black people reporting anti-black slogans written on their car and investigation revealed they did it themselves to get in the news and promote anti-white agenda.

Planted by someone struggling with reality and not enough attention.

Rev. Jim Jones did it over and over again, usually blaming the KKK. It got his followers all excited.

It’s at a university of higher learning, so “nuffin” was spelled “nothing.”
All Whites now bow down and beg forgiveness.
In a week they will discover that the black kid did it, and it will disappear from the news.

I’m in your corner on this.

We could be wrong, but it sure seems like a safe bet.

By the end of the week there will be a secret contest for who can write the most outlandish racist notes to each other.

We know one of 2 things: Either the note was written by an ‘Affirmative Action’ student or by a non-student.

Either way, it means NOTHING, since it doesn’t reflect on the students there (other than, possibly, the AA ‘student’).

People who commit fake hate crimes are so convinced that their alternative version of reality is correct they end up creating “evidence” to back it up.

Question:. What does it say about these allegedly oppressed groups, that they feel the need to perpetrate events such as these, to show how bigoted the world is against then?

"Selma Envy". They want to be heroes for "refusing to be intimidated", "standing up to racism", "staying strong", etc.

(All-powerful Whitey has nothing better to do these days than to attack random college students.)

Wonder how long until the surveillance tape arises that it was a leftist / black person that did it?

The note, handwritten and containing misspellings and grammatical errors, reads "Black people dont desearve to be 'united.' Your worth nothing!"

The real (and likely only) crime is that the illiterate are allowed into college in the first place.

My "hoax alert" button is flashing. Sounds like it was written by an "affirmative action" student.

"Strange how the person who left it used “black people” and not the N word. Hmmmm."

Good point. This whole thing smells of a hoax, and - as hoaxes go - not a very good one.
