Harvard Law Dean Denounces ‘Okay to Be White’ Stickers on Campus
Breitbart ^ | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

Posted on 11/06/2017 4:46:35 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Harvard Law School Dean of Students Marcia L. Sells has condemned the posting of “It’s okay to be white” stickers on the university campus, calling them divisive and “a provocation.”

According to reports, at least 20 handmade stickers bearing the message “It’s okay to be white” were posted on light poles and electrical boxes around Cambridge Common and Harvard Square as well as at Harvard’s Wasserstein and Hastings Halls last week, provoking consternation from university officials.

In an email message, Dean Sells said that the content of the stickers was “intended to divide us from one another.”

“HLS [Harvard Law School] will not let that happen here. We live, work, teach, and learn together in a community that is stronger, better, and deeper because of our diversity and because we encourage open, respectful, and constructive discourse.”

On receiving reports about the stickers, Cambridge Police instructed the Department of Public Works to remove them and public works employees were seen diligently removing the offending stickers by scraping them off with a putty knife. Most of the stickers were apparently removed within hours after they were discovered.

As would be expected, social media revealed mixed reactions to the stickers, ranging from condemnation to support.

I had sooo much fun with the wackos at San Francisco State University back before and during the first Gulf War. I would create custom posters, place them in strategic places, and then watch from nearby for the wackos’ reactions. My all time favorite creation was ‘White Men Can’t Jump, and Black Men Can’t Add.’ Oh, the humanity! They would shout, yell, and tear them down. A week or two later I would begin again.

During the war ‘protest’ some ‘students’ were allowed to build and live in a shack (dump) in the middle of the campus. There were daily noontime rallies and I would wade into the fray and engage these creepozoids. I had a short ponytail, so I could have been mistaken for a creepozoid. One day, after a longer discussion of reality vs indoctrination, the young skull full of mush could no longer stand truth and logic. He finally asked ‘So, how can you be conservative and have long hair?’ Most of the crowd that gathered around us realized the mush head was mushy. It remains one of my favorite memories from engaging the creepozoids.

“”that is stronger, better, and deeper because of our diversity and because we encourage open, respectful, and constructive discourse.””

It SHOULD work that way, sweetie but it doesn’t!! ENCOURAGE? Does she even know the meaning of that word?

I think someone should start plastering signs around all campuses that read:

“”IT’S NOT OKAY TO BE THIN SKINNED””

They tell us often that people are “born that way” when it comes to a number of lifestyles; directly implying that it is okay. However, it isn’t okay for someone to be born Caucasian?

If it weren't for being allowed to step on others, shoving them aside to get to the front of the line, Miss Marcia would be … somewhere else. She got her position through "affirmative action" which is racial discrimination against qualified candidates.

Someone should follow up with stickers declaring it’s ok to be yellow pansies.

Diversity always creates conflict.

Several years ago there was a similar brouhaha. It seems that Harvard had gone on a paper recycling kick and placed containers in all the buildings. One bin was labeled "white paper" and the other bin was labeled "colored paper". Some wag came along with a sharpie. He drew a line through "colored paper" and wrote "paper of color" instead.

It caused a HUGE commotion. There were investigations. Closed circuit footage was examined. "Workshops" were created to deal with the "problem". If there is anything certain about the Left, it is that they totally lack a sense of humor, and the ability to laugh at themselves.

So the guy condemns them and makes the police and city employees remove them.

Now do you believe me when I say that the left wants to eliminate Whites/Christians, after taking all their money?

Hey dean, FU!

Dean Sells said that the content of the stickers was “intended to divide us from one another.”

Unlike "It's okay to be [anything other other than white]" stickers, which aren't divisive at all and in fact bring us all closer together in one big kumbaya circle jerk, right Dean?

What makes this coerced diversity so hard to swallow is that its purpose rests on a plain-to-see but impossible to express fraud—the alleged benefits of diversity. Indeed, the elite’s obsessive proclamations of this lie far more closely resemble propaganda than celebrating a cliché-like truth… and it is hard to imagine a bigger lie than “Diversity is Our Strength.”

The Dean is virtue signalling. She doesn't care to examine whether or not diversity or anything on the Left is a fraud because she lives in a contrived reality.

Remember that in postmodern thought (which is the foundation of progressivism), reality is what you believe it to be...not what it actually is.

That racist bigot should be fired.
What? Being white is not part of diversity?

How did she get to be Dean of Harvard?
