Bump. Set. Shuma!
I've read it 3 times now, and don't understand his comparison of a major college campus, where action can actually be taken by powerful people to make a statement, to inner city Chicago where that action couldn't legitimately happen. He makes some valid points, but to me they're completely lost with the shock value he uses, and whether he did his due diligence or not, saying that this statement was made only because of a redneck in a truck throwing slurs and a shit swastika is irresponsible. We know it was a lot more than that, it's the culture in general on a large campus.
I get that, as with anything, there's a sense of politicizing this (from the faculty in this case), but I can't believe that was the motive behind this entire thing when actually reading into what has been going on. And I guess it helps that I believe it, because I pretty much know that culture exists and existed on my campus to a lesser extent, likely because we weren't as big as Mizzou.

Jason Whitlock isn't comparing the two issues. He isn't pitting one against the other. He's is asking - why is no one going into Chicago and makings as big a stink about something more heinous and egregious as some white nobody neck yelling N out his truck window and making a swastika out of poop on a college campus?
How is that not a fair question. The nine year old boy was killed by a gang because his father was associated with the opposing gang.
The answer to that question is because it's a more sure bet to go onto a college campus and demand justice from some "nobody" racist. And that's sad. I wouldn't want to be either person in either scenario, but I'll take being called a known racist amongst my town over a cold hearted child killer any day of the week if I had to choose.
Whitlock makes a great point about the puppeteer white liberal professors who found an easy way to get rid of a President they didn't want around anymore. What better way to do it than scream "racism". Irrelevant to the degree of truth that there might or might not be there. He gone. White puppeteer liberal professors got what they wanted. Can't place my finger on where that story is repeated time after time after time after time.

Exactly. Clay Travis wasn't wrong about what he mentioned either. If the entire 'situation' was based on made up stories, or things that happened off campus, does that not, in a sense, invalidate their entire argument? The claim was of "institutional racism,' yet the incidents that were brought up do not show that at all.

Tell you one thing, black, white, yellow, brown, whatever, I'd be much more worried about this homicidal maniac who shits in his hand and writes on walls than any racial and homophobic slurs.

It wasn't a genuine threat. He was trolling.

when an egg on social media does these things.....are we to really take it serious? Or we take it serious when it suits us?
I mean certain folks cannot make fun of "amber alerts" and "fear mongering" in one breath when, you know, buildings have been destroyed and planes hijacked.......and say it is scare tactics etc etc
but then an anonymous "egg" on twitter with 4 followers says some dumb shit and it is fucking terrorism and kids shouldn't go to class and be scared
I am not diminishing things, but this whole thing is weird. Starting to side with Whitlock

it's not whether you or I take it serious, but whether the intended targets take it seriously.
And assholes with a gun in a school or college happen a tad more frequently then a plane being hijacked

The "intended targets" are a bunch of drama queens. The hunger striker's father is a railroad executive who supposedly makes seven figures per year. The ringleader of the protests is a Yag Black student who somehow managed to become student body president at this "racist" institution.

What does a fathers salary have to do with anything? And a Yag black became student president so that means homophobia and racism no longer exist there? I suppose the US has wiped out all racism because of a black president.
And because one guy is elected student president and another guys father earns decent quid they shouldn't take threats seriously?

I hate singling out someone here, but I've got my bucket of popcorn already made anticipating Alan Tongue's response to what DwightShrute has copy and pasted this morning concerning Mizzou protesters feeling neglected/overshadowed by the Paris attacks

Nice try. A simple look at these twitter accounts will tell you that they are not Mizzou people, but the usual social media blowhards. Looking at the ones that have a location in their profile

If I have missed anything and you have anything that shows these are Mizzou students I don't mind being corrected. Hope you enjoyed the popcorn

Um, I said Mizzou protesters, not Mizzou people. Major difference, Mr Tongue.
