Let us not forget that this professor has had to be under police protection for the crime of treating all his students equally. This just boggles my mind about the modern left, how is this defensible?

Yeah, nobody has ever been under police protection because of the modern right.

This is where we part ways. This is not the modern left. This is an outlier subset using the current situation as an excuse for tyranny.

Yeah, nobody has ever been under police protection because of the modern right.

Also not the modern right.

The only way these are examples of either the modern left or right is if all concepts of governance have now been replaced by despotism.

This is fair.

I do not see how any rational person can defend this. Which, of course, does not preclude RSP from doing so.

Nobody is looking to defend anything. We now act in the open for all to see.

This isn't about renaming streets or knocking down statues. This isn't about justice or reform. This isn't about antifascism or antiracism. This is about antiyou. Everyone has one comment in their past that we can distort into something offensive. If we can't find one from your past, we'll create one in your future. The next time you say hello, we have you. Hello comes from Old High German, which in turn was influenced by Old High French. Both are white languages, racist and oppressive languages, languages of the petite bourgeoisie that we will destroy.

Next time you say "Hello," we will label you as a white language supremacist and destroy your ability to earn a living.

Wut

I kind of expected more from Miami. He didn't seem like the type to go full anti-SJW reactionary. Oh well.

By the way, this isn't reality. You aren't in danger.

I'm just not sure I get the outrage. Because one bad thing happened on a college campus, we are all in danger?

It's just really frustrating to me when Republicans in power do all sorts of dangerous and harmful stuff that affects Americans, and you all are focusing on what one college campus did. None of this matters, especially when I cast my ballot.

I think you missed my post on page 2 where I stated it was sarcasm to make a point, but that's OK.

Oh, I'm sorry. What was your point, then?

I'm used to that take being 100% serious.

My point, maybe not made very well, was that any philosophy/movement can go too far and betray the principles of the philosophy/movement itself, becoming the new cancer that then must be destroyed. The only ones who can prevent the message from being hijacked are the people within the movement. Otherwise, it is doomed to radicalization by less scrupulous people who aren't so pure at heart.

Christ constantly talked about love. God made a Commandment not to kill. Pope Urban II, as "leader" of the Church, initiated the Crusades that was neither loving nor kill free..

Come on, white language supremacy, lol? I made that term up.

Trauma is not just an issue for Black students, and it is more than a little racist to imply that it is. Long answer short, it is something anybody can experience but it is especially prominent in marginalized communities. Not, to be clear, because they are "babies" as you so eloquently put it, but because they are victims of oppression from an unjust system that continually puts them in harm's way and provides them less opportunities.

Please explain How in the samHill ANY student attending UCLA can be considered victims of oppression from an "unjust system"?? They're at one of the finest Universities in the Nation! In one of the most privileged and livable places on Earth!

And the students of that Professor's class, regardless of color are NOT marginalized communities. They're very lucky young people with a life of opportunity in front of them, THANKS to OUR system and the education we offer here!

You seem full of ignorance and entitlement.
I got news for you.
That's a bad combo in the REAL world.

All your attitude of entitlement will garner you is resistance and scorn, and that penchant to think you're fully educated and know what you clearly DON'T know (ignorance) is gonna be personally expensive.
The Globe spins in one direction and it ain't about to change because you've been given "half" the picture.
Those that know about the other half WILL educate you, likely unpleasantly.

Activists hate eveything that does not conform to their own point of view. Allow me to make a short list of famous activists that liked to silence others.

Maximillian Robespierre
Muhammad Ahmad
Vladimir Lenin
Ismael Enver Pasha
Adolf Hitler
Josef Stalin
Mao Zedong
Kim Il-sung
Fidel Castro
Pol Pot
Idi Amin Dada
(your name here)

George Lincoln Rockwell
Timothy McVeigh
Charles Manson
Father Coughlin
Bull Connor
Nathan Bedford Forrest
Andrew Jackson
Eric Rudolph
The KKK

Oh yeah. The list could go on forever.

What's happening right now is not activism. It's the reactions of an omnipotent child having a temper tantrum.

BING F#**ing GO!

I don't know this detail, so I'm gonna ask.
Mr. usf_bulls......... Sir, Have we ever agreed on anything of a political nature before this?
I'm a classic liberal.
You are not I think, am I correct?

This may be the 1st public agreement.
And I gotta say.

I agree BIGLY!

bob, gomiami1972/usf_bulls is the same person. I switch back and forth because I'm mentoring somebody in HBD on the usf one. We have agreed several times. Sometimes, we are the only two who hold a particular position, especially when wylie doesn't chime in.

I have been a classic liberal all my life, although I used to refer to myself as a libertarian 20 years ago or so. The difference between us is, like any philosophical movement, there is no one standard. I lean more "right" and you lean more "left" but classic liberalism is classic liberalism. It is certainly not the conservatism nor progressive liberalism that dominates the landscape today.

I will grant you this. Sometimes it just doesn't feel that way. But that is likely due to exorbitant media coverage.
