Students Protest Racism on Clifton Road, List Demands for Administration
The Emory Wheel ^ | November 11, 2015 | Rupsha Basu, Anwesha Guha and Karishma Mehrotra -

Police lights on Clifton Road illuminated the silhouettes of standing students, who were blocking traffic and chanting “black lives matter” as part of a campus protest on Wednesday evening.

In response to recent unrest at the University of Missouri, at Yale University and in South Africa, undergraduate and graduate students voiced their concerns about race relations on Emory’s campus.

“So make sure that when you walk on this campus that we are heard,” said protest organizer and College senior Casidy Campbell to the wall of over 50 students in front of Woodruff Circle....

Wednesday evening....gee....just as national attention got hijacked by San Bernardino. Go figure...

I mean the severe urgency of the black experience at Emory University is the imperative thing here......

"They do not provide any type of resources for black students to thrive and succeed at the University," she said to the group. "Emory prides itself on being diverse so they lump us in here and just expect us to swim."

Imagine the blatant overt racism! Expecting a student to study and thrive on his own! Horrors! Why, each black who matriculates should just be allowed to skip all that AND classes and get the damned degree the first week! Right?

If one could tear himself away from that pesky national tragedy at SB and the ensuing major questions we face about terrorism and read the demands of these 'BLM' Emory Students, he/she would see that it isn't parity, equity and fairness they want.

They want bias and preference. The want what that old saying relates, "The slave dreams not of being free; he dreams of being master."

Actually, just giving them a degree the first week might not be a bad idea. That would get them out of the school. Most of these “protesters” can’t handle the classes, are total failures on their own, they know it, and their reaction is to cause as much misery and disruption as possible. They don’t want anyone else to study and learn if they can’t, and that’s why they spend most of their time griping, and running their foul mouths.

Just think. One day after these students get their way and are babysat all the way to a medical or other important function degree, they’ll be in government - maybe in the CDS - maybe at the DHS, in our society, over it and out among us.

This will happen because Emory officials will cave and placate them somehow and then the next time the march, and then the next time. At one point, a degree from Emory isn’t going to mean sh!t.

There is a reason why they call Emory students - Emmeroids

:: University of Missouri, at Yale University and ... Emory ::

Let’s take a look at each school’s last 5 years of invited (and paid) guests lecturers, shall we?

Wormwood?

Are you referring to the Wormwood of Revelation?

But then again, who in their right mind would hire a black college graduate from any school where one of these protests were held? These ‘black lives matter’ people make affirmative action cases almost look competent.

I don’t think black society really understands the damage that these children (even though the are of adult age, obviously they have never progressed past kindergarten) are doing to the entire black society. With every protest black credibility in this country is eroded.

People who used to be mostly unprejudiced (such as myself) are now looking at blacks askance because we have no way of knowing if they are competent in their fields or if they will randomly attack us (or worse)just because we are white.

The black society needs to wake up and control their youths before they totally destroy every stride toward equality that the black people have made since 1964.

They don’t get the irony of protesting the history of segregation in South Africa while demanding it here.

There are some students of Bible prophecy who think that
“Wormwood” (in Revelation) was actually Chernobyl.

That is my understanding.. It harkens back to the Hal Lindsey days.

Yep. The libs will be too busy trying to stay alive and find clean drinking water to worry about being offended, suing people, demanding special privileges. It may be the only thing that wakes them up to what is really important in life instead of hassling and controlling others.
