That’s one of several phrases deemed a ‘microaggression’ at faculty leader training sessions initiated by University of California President Janet Napolitano

“America is the land of opportunity,” “There is only one race, the human race” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” are among a long list of alleged microaggressions faculty leaders of the University of California system have been instructed not to say.

These so-called microaggressions – considered examples of subconscious racism – were presented at faculty leader training sessions held throughout the 2014-15 school year at nine of the 10 UC campuses. The sessions, an initiative of UC President Janet Napolitano, aim to teach how to avoid offending students and peers, as well as how to hire a more diverse faculty.

Ah, microaggression. Say something racist, and you're a racist. Don't say something racist, and you're still a racist.

So much for thinking that Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were political geniuses. None of those guys ever came up with something as clever as that.

It’s really extraordinary that these leftists think that by controlling the language, they can control the future.

Is suppression of speech and thought their idea of freedom?

THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.

That was the motto of ARKANSAS back in the 1950s and 1960s. Then it was found the best opportunity was to GET OUT OF THE STATE to find a REAL paying Job! that was before SAM WALTON bought some bankrupt BEN FRANKLIN stores and reorganized as WALMART.

Now the motto is THE NATURAL STATE, because in most of the state, except Benton, Washington and Pulaski Counties, there still is no opportunity.

That’s what the commie “Caitlyns” believe about America. Unfortunately, those millions of wetbacks who risks their lives trying to come here every year see things differently. Those who learn about life avoiding murderers while crossing a scorching desert do see the world a lot differently than a drug addicted, commie fag sitting at a desk pondering their genitals while trying to decide if they want to live life as a male or a female.

America is the land of opportunity. After all, where other than America can a no-talent lesbian like Janet Napolitano who presided over the massacre of some religious zealots become the head of a major university?

Now I figured out what PC really stands for: Politically Connected!
“The University of California has leased an Oakland residence for incoming system president Janet Napolitano for $9,950 a month, officials said Monday. Napolitano, the former U.S. secretary of Homeland Security and former governor of Arizona, will be provided the housing plus an annual $570,000 salary, $8,916 a year for car expenses and $142,500 for one-time relocation costs.”

Clearly the Lib's don't support this, but the question is do they realize that this is exactly what they are advocating? Maybe, some do realize this. Most that support this, IMHO, don't realize it, but they go along with their feel good leaders on the road to nowhere. We may be at a tipping point. A point in which the dominate cultural sentiment has had enough of this "group think" and begins to assert their rights as an individual. I can only hope.

I wonder if Janet built herself a new harem over there in Caulifphonya yet.
