The books were a good start.
MAN I would have loved to be there.
I’m sure the wa post is horrified.
About time!!
There is something in me that is against the burning of any book...While it is a similar action. I think I would have been more creative and just tossed it in the trash or buried it like a bad idea. Burning books is something the socialists do. I understand rejecting the premise totally...
Funny how she would rather play the victim here in the US rather than return to Cuba.
So it does work both ways?
[Apparently they weren’t buying what she was shoveling.]
But liberals are never wrong! Just ask them.
It takes a village or something.
How queer. Marilyn Manson spent the 1990s playing civic owned venues tearing up bibles, eating pages from them onstage. No outrage from the Left or public officials in those cities.
The homofascist pedrast from X-Men and LOTR boasted of tearing pages out of the bibles in hotel rooms.
I guess some books are more sacred than others.
Considering most of my Cuban friends from high school and college were as white as I am — Spaniards, really — I’d like to know about this woman’s racial background before drawing any conclusions.
Latin-American societies tend to be more racist than ours. The elites tend to be of Spanish or other European background.
Cuba before communism was drawing a lot of immigration, mainly from Spain, which had the salutary effect of “bleaching” the population.
The first waves of exiles tended to be from the more prosperous levels of Cuban society. Hence, the Cuban-American population has rather more Spanish blood than those remaining under the communist yoke.
And that surely has much to do with why Cubans have been so successful in this country.
I’m 62, and looking back on my youth in Miami, I can’t recall any friction between the Cubans and Anglos in my high school or college. They were our friends.
Of course, back then you didn’t have as many Leftist politicians and journalists pushing identity politics and trying to balkanize the nation.
for the Left, racial victimhood, racial preferences and racial pride are only supposed to go one way!
Guilt is the only emotion white students are supposed to feel.
Anything else is forbidden and definitely non-PC!
I love a story with a happy ending, rules for radicals should be on their list
That said, I can assure this "white hating author" that she is safe in Statesboro.
Good for them! About time there was pushback on all this anti-white crap.
Hm?....There is hope. Some students are in the “Walk Away” movement.
You look White darling.
Also, ask George Zimmerman. The media and race hustlers invented the term "White Hispanic" overnight in order to smear him.
The "White Privilege" lie is simply meant to dehumanize white people.
Historically, every genocide in human history had its roots in dehumanizing those of other races.
ESV - Acts 19:19 —
“And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.”
That was the response of the people after they had converted to Christianity.
Should they have safeguarded those books so that they could have damned the souls of others who read them?
Your attitude is why Western culture is losing out. Too many people can find reasons not to stand up to the venom and poison.
She 7s a White Hispanic.
The students could have voiced their disagreement with the author without acting like liberals do when they disagree with a conservative speaker on campus. I don’t support what they did here at all.
Since she’s not white, she has no justified opinion as to the behavior of white people.
Isn’t that sorta what black people say about whites?
I have been wondering for at least 25 years when the hell students would revolt when called racist to their faces. Welp here we are...
That first sentence sounded nice, but in truth we were FWBs and it was mostly Bs.
She NO problem acclimating to a white college. Was she accepted? Oh, very YES...Fun, fun, fun, fun times.
All the racism crap today is ridiculous. I'm a senior now and even back then, we didn't care where a person was from. We just wanted to have fun.
