Right that's how the race game in is played in America. Blacks cite an example of being slighted (no matter how piddly--like this, or completely imagined like mike brown) and then they use that as justification to act in the worst possible ways--death threats, ruining people's lives, rioting, burning, looting, shooting cops, there are no limits.
It's absolutley sickening and what makes it all worse is almost no one with a public voice has the courage to stand up and say this is f**ed up and needs to stop.
They’re both bad and should be dealt with as required. Riots are bad and should be dealt with. Entities such as businesses or universities should be able to eject people who sing about lynching other races if that is what they want to do.
Oh, I'm sure there's more than one which admires Nation of Islam, or have their own rap songs, like this. I also would not be surprised if it came out that some of them were into the knockout game.
You're correct. It's just one more straw.
The "knockout game". The Philadelphia Black Panthers intimidating voters with impunity. The thousands of black-on-white rapes, assaults, and murders every year.
Little by little, black-on-white victimization is eroding the good will of white people, that good will which caused the passing of all that equal-rights, anti-discrimination legislation since the Civil War. And when that good will is all gone ...
The UK Daily Mail covered protestors going to the boys parents homes. One family appears moderately wealthy, with a $4.1M home, but the other's family is in a $650K home, which is just upper-middle class.
I don't think either family is wealthy or "connected" enough to deal with having a son whose notoriety will prevent them from being accepted at a college, or working for any big business. Ever.
What these guys are being put through is WAY out of proportion to their offense.
And there are fraternities like SAE at Oklahoma which where white only. Your point is?
And if any of those black fraternities wind up on You Tube chanting about hanging crackers from a tree then I'd expect them to lose their certification too. And if that didn't happen then you'd have a point.
“Little by little, black-on-white victimization is eroding the good will of white people, that good will which caused the passing of all that equal-rights, anti-discrimination legislation since the Civil War. And when that good will is all gone ...”
I have never quite heard someone state that the Civil Rights Acts were passed as a result of good will among white folks.
I think it is out of proportion as well but I think it is only a setback for these kids. I graduated from college and knew kids like this. Once in while one of them screw-ups big and gets caught. Years down the road you will run into them at a trade show and they’ll give you a business card that reads V.P. of sales or something like that.
My 2 cents, 2 things every parent should fear when their kid goes away to college. He or she joins a fraternity or sorority. He or she becomes an intern for a politician.
Too many downsides very little positives.
That was then -- this is now. In 2015, it is routine for potential employers to do an internet search on applicants. And the Internet never forgets.
What employer will hire one of these guys, knowing that if any black employee ever googles him, it will immediately turn into a "hostile work environment" situation? Most certainly, neither of them can ever be risked being placed in a supervisory position.
Which race had the voting majority in the US at the time of passage? Do you really think the legislation would have passed if a majority of whites in the US were not sympathetic to the plight of blacks?
Do you think Congress would have given a DAMN if they didn't have a nationwide majority of voters nationwide in favor of passing civil rights legislation for blacks?
Spiking/flippant short summary of political favorites’ corruption in favor of something frivolous that does not effect the nation as a whole (Secretary of State’s private server hypocrisy) is the hallmark of a free but extremely biased dependent press/media.
Oh well, I guess they’ll have to work at one of those “white” companies.
Dear liberal troll:
That they exist, is a certainty. No one is finding them. Do you really think that in a country where blacks can riot and burn and loot if they don't like a completely justified police shooting, and they'll receive no condemnation because of it.---Where black principals can declare a school event as blacks only---where a black hate group, the black panthers, can intimidate voters and the black att general will press no charges.
Do you really think that in such an orwellian place that black racists are too afraid in their black only fraternities to say racist things about whites. HA HA HA if you think that then you are a complete leftist idiot.
Oh pallllease saying they're "both bad" is like saying a 10 mph speeding ticket and a double homicide are "both bad" No sense of proportion. But then you liberals awlays have loved relativism almost as much as you love double standards. Go back to DU, dummy.
A salutation so asinine that it isn't worth getting upset over.
That they exist, is a certainty. No one is finding them
Then your job should be very easy. Wake me when you have something.
Recently, in NYC, a large group of “protesters” marched down the street chanting “what do we want, dead cops, when do we want them, now” and the media didn’t bat an eye. Didn’t report it.
Cubs Fan is right. Of course openly “kill white people” talk is going on in black-only student groups and institutions. But nobody will ever report it. Ever.
That’s not to defend what the idiots in this story did. They are too stupid to live in the 21st century and I have no sympathy for them whatsover.
But the fact remains, Cubs Fan is right.
Yep. Saw that on the news and read about it in a couple of media outlets. So what does that have to do with OU?
Cubs Fan is right. Of course openly “kill white people” talk is going on in black-only student groups and institutions. But nobody will ever report it. Ever.
And if a video of it winds up on You Tube then I would expect the university where it happened at to take the same kind of actions Oklahoma took. And if they didn't, and I grant you that might well be the case, then you can scream hypocrisy to your heart's content and I'll agree with you. Until then, spare me the martyrdom song-and-dance for a bunch of bigoted losers. I don't have any sympathy for them whatsoever.
That’s not to defend what the idiots in this story did. They are too stupid to live in the 21st century and I have no sympathy for them whatsover.
The obligitory "I'm not defending them but..."
But the fact remains, Cubs Fan is right.
There may be nuggets of truth in his rant. But what do they have to do with the situation at OU?
You obviously are unemployed.
I’ve got a job to do.
So I’m going to say YOU WIN, and drop out.
You win.
Yes they should be treated proportionately. Rioters should go to prison. Racist frat assholes can get expelled for being asshats.
I’m not sure how thinking in this manner makes me a liberal.
This is true. Being a racist asshat in this day and age carries with it consequences. This is true for anyone.
