Re: MU police want you to call them for hateful/hurtful speech

I wish all the kids would call on the blacks that call each other the N word. How did they expect to not hear the word if they consider it a term of endearment when said to each other. Dbl standard, imo

I always think peace and harmony when the Missouri police are mentioned.

I agree with the premise of why students are protesting...

But Jesus H. Christ, this execution is horrible. Physically trying to bar reporters from the scene? Call the police for hateful speech?
You don't get to pick and choose which rights apply to you and which ones don't apply to others. Clearly some changes are needed at Missouri but the protesters are acting like imbeciles.

Exactly. Your cause is lost when you act this way...

Even if the cause is righteous.
I've always been a big fan of Sun Tzu's philosophies, and his rule that you never attack your opponent when he has the high ground applies in a lot of aspects of life.
If your opponent looks like less of an imbecile than you, you're going to lose, even if your cause is the right one.

aren't about dialogue and discussion or making any lasting change but are only about protesting. Too many people on both the left and the right are escaping reality into a constructed alternate reality.

The best I can get out of this is the students and staff of and the populace surrounding the University of Missouri aren't exactly, um, well let's just say it ain't MIT.
In the long run, I guess it's good. We South Carolinians could always say, "Hey, but we're not as bad as Mississippi," but Mississippi is sort of crawling out of the muck now.
I was wondering if we'd get a replacement for Faulkner's armpit.
Looks like Missouri has been really trying hard to be the new perianal region of the nation these past few years, so kudos.

Signs of systemic racism...
Nov 13, 2015, 5:02 PM

1. Cops are out to prosecute people for using certain words that blacks find offensive.
2. The UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT steps down after only a couple days due to pressure from a small number of students. A Black interim president is named.
3. The class president is a gay black dude. THAT MEANS SOMETHING.
4. There is a much larger ratio of blacks in student government than their are in the student population.
I hate to reduce one side of the debate to simply calling them stupid... but guys... if you think systemic racism is the reason behind the protests, more than the intellectual, social and personal flaws of the protesters then you are probably stupid.
