African-American athletes threaten to strike at Mizzou

  1. Then you have black protesters surrounding the university president’s car for 15 minutes in the homecoming parade which required police to disperse. This account is very well documented and was very likely perceived as a physical threat.


  1. Yes they are clearly "threatening" the president here.

Just a matter of time before the rape of a gay guy by the KKK on campus. Rolling Stone will be all over it.
 
This is all bs. There is no evidence of a poop swastika, and there are two complaints of random , possibly drunk people using a slur .
There's nothing to see here and this is just a " I am woman hear me roar attention whore moment ."

Just like Franco was threatening that busload of BOT members.

I am surprised Wolfe didn't go all Dirty Harry on them and whip out his Murican concealed handgun and protect the crowd from these heathens! They have CLEARLY surrounded the car on all....

Wait...Wolfe (and his wife?) look pretty calm and actually bored....although not bored enough to simply hop off the back of the car and run for their lives in fear of the animals who are threatening them! :D

LMAO!
 
Racism , and alleged incidents do not give someone Carte Blanche to do whatever they see fit.
In common language, get the eff over it. Racism has very little affect in the day to day lives of normal , regular folk . Most are just trying to get through the day.
It's another small pain in the rear that normal folk ignore . But these special little snowflakes don't have the spine for that.
 
Ugh no I wouldn't . I believe there's a lot we don't know and it's a possibility they did know and cover up for Sandusky.

Spoiler alert, it wouldn't bother me in the least .

Well you're the exception to the rule. Look in the Slaten thread.
 
I don't give a crap about other threads. I'll give you a hint, come spring ish there will be a meltdown here and some other places .
That said , faux outrage is bs and not worth the protests . People who are drunk will say obnoxious things . You shouldn't get your panties in a bunch over they . We do not have institutional racism anymore , just another brand or bias or ignorant behavior .
This is essentially a hoax just like most of these left wing outrages.
 
The teacher that some here had there panties in a bunch about has resigned her appt. Need new target.

Just to make sure it is clear the professor resigned her courtesy appointment not her position as a communications professor

LOL. Where I live, most of the local whites and blacks won't even make eye contact on Main St.

Racism is very real around here.

It is good to hear that you live somewhere where it does not exist. I know that there are places like that. Probably not as many as you imagine, though.
 
They aren't cowards like Buffalo Lion who are afraid of black people, I guess.

Where in the World did you get some bonehead idea like that?

I'm starting to think you must be either some privileged white rich kid who feels guilty and has to save the world or some loser unemployed lefty bum sitting in his basement, sheltered from the real world, thinking the Government owes you something.

This ain't the Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, or some other left wing forum you're on. This is a sports message Board where probably at least 75 to 80 percent of us (maybe more) have actually PHYSICALLY interacted with people of different races exponentially more than you have.

Have you ever hugged someone of another race and truly loved them as a friend? I have. MANY times. I'm sure many others on here have done that as well. Have you ever tried to physically overpower or physically overmatch someone of another race on a person to person basis in a confrontational and adversarial type of way....with race NEVER being part of the equation? I have. MANY times. I'm sure many others on here have done that as well.

Sports and the Arts are the two areas of our society where Race is the most invisible. You think I cared if my teammate was White or Black as long as he helped me win? You think I cared if my opponent was White or Black when I tried to match up with him? Who do you think I'm going to defend if one of my teammates who is of a different race gets into a fight with an opponent of another team or in a bar? I could absolutely care less what color the other guy's skin was. I had my teammate's (and friend's) back every time.

When I see idiots like that multi-millionaire privileged Jonathan Butler at Missouri and his Student President troublemaker cohort Payton Head trying to use the football team as a tool to racially divide a school and a team, I get pi$$ed. Especially now that it's being brought out (as I suspected) that a lot of that racial crap was all made up.

Now go back to your Mommy's basement and your Democratic Underground message board pals so you can complain about Global Warming or something.

1) She resigned her "courtesy appointment" from the journalism department. She's still there on the school payroll teaching communications so nothing really happened to her for her ridiculous actions.
2)Good, glad police made an arrest. That is how things are supposed to happen.


Again, a swastika was drawn and, based on your article, the police were called and an investigation began. Just how the process is supposed to work.

In another one of the infamous examples of racial slurs being thrown at Mizzou, I believe the late night one against the theater group, the one guy was discovered and kicked off campus pending a further investigation.


So looking at these events, it seems to me that the proper channels and actions were being taken to combat the issue, so I ask again, what exactly was the President of the school to do?

I get the outrage and I understand people being upset, but from what I have observed, there was no rampant university-wide racism that was being ignored. A few incidents occurred, people got upset, and they were being investigated. Just how things are supposed to work.

In so many of these examples, Ferguson, Baltimore and now here at Mizzou, people hear of an incident, get upset and then immediately work themselves into a rage looking for blood. These people want immediate action and someone held responsible immediately. I understand it, but that's not the way these things work and allowing Mob Rule....yes MOB RULE...to take over and dictate things is not the direction we should be taking.

I think Missou should fire their president, Tim Wolfe, and hire this guy immediately.
Art I don't always see eye to eye with your posts and have no idea how I missed this one, but it deserves 2 thumbs up! Can't stop laughing. Anything we can do to make it happen, I'm all in.
 
Racism is like gluten free diets, crossfit, veganism, Star Trek, or whatever people get nuts over. Just because they make a big deal out of it doesn't mean other people do.
 
I never said there is no such thing as racism, I maintain it's not as big as an issue as you make it. Just like the stuff i pointed out. Just because you have an issue with gluten (which app 1/200 actually do), doesn't mean the rest of us have one.
 
Little dramatic there sport? Don't think I ever used the word "terrified". In fact, I can't even remember the last time I said that word. This was my exact quote:

[All I know is that I would never send my kid there. How would you like to have your daughter 1,000 miles away having to eat in a cafeteria with this crap going on? "You mess with one of us you mess with all of us??" That place is an absolute mess.]

And you also misstated my use of the word "thug'. I said "thugs", as in plural. The guy that was yelling "YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US, YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US!!!" wasn't alone. He had his whole Hood there. They were all walking around the cafeteria trying to intimidate and instigate.

If Missouri is as racist and bigoted as sheltered privileged White boys like you think it is, what makes you think some of those "racist" Whites there won't accept the challenge some time and start a brawl? You think I want my daughter in the middle of that and have someone slam a chair over her head or something? 1,000 miles away from home?? You have to be some kind of brain dead idiot.

And guess what Einstein. "Thugs" come in all races and colors. You need to stop indoctrinating yourself with left wing garbage in your Mommy's basement and go out and get a job.
Sadly, these clowns refuse to answer questions, address points, sling labels, and constantly slander and misquote. Rational posters are left having to quote themselves to set the record straight. Fortunately, absolutely every poster reading sees their childish tactics and identifies them as intellectually dishonest people.

I maintain that some of these guys like this Philly clown simply need to be ignored. No unbiased reader is going to be left with a favorable impression of this guy because of the intellectual dishonesty and immediate labelling of anyone who opposes his non-fact based conclusions. He is hurting any cause he weighs in on and those with similar opinions must cringe when they see he has posted yet again.

I agree that the majority of our posters have either always seen who is being intellectually dishonest....or grown recently into being able to see that.

It is all y'all who are going all Baghdad Bob on us.

Yep. Students in The University of Missouri's ROTC Program were told not to wear their uniforms yesterday (Veteran's Day) and had to cancel their training because of threats made against them. Yet PhillyPhan21 would send his daughter into that mess (if he was physically able to reproduce) and just hope she didn't get stuck in the middle of some trumped up Race War. He needs to be in a padded cell under 24 hour watch.

I think he left his web cam on below. At least we may not have to worry about him being able to reproduce. :)

What the hell? Hunger strike boy was the son of a man who made $7,000,000.00 last year? And his first demand was to remove a university president for apparently being white and calling on him to admit his white male privilege? So a man who has worked for a career to get where he is has privilege because of his skin color and something hanging between his legs and the little rich boy who hasn't worked a day in his life is being held down by the man because he is black?

I repeat, this is a scary precedent and sure as heck is everything that America stands against. Unfounded allegations leading to immediate removal of multiple officials based on media support and the color of their skin? Those alleging words being used against them by unidentified assailants using racist terms (white male privilege) to verbally attack someone unconnected with the allegations and physically impeding them in public places? A university mass media instructor who has kept their job by the way directing physical removal of a student reporter of the wrong race against first amendment rights. That is not America.

LOL
 
LOL, people have trouble with words and meaning. That something wasn't "proven beyond a reasonable doubt" does not make it a lie. You are really reaching if you need to write a whole article that calls into question that someone below the MD line might yell a racial slur at a black man.
It's been my experience that the "MD Line" is irrelevant as it pertains to racism and bigotry. Racism and bigotry do indeed exist but a lie is still a lie

The third instance occurred when an unaffiliated Jewish fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, reportedly posted an invite on Facebook post for a “Preps & Crooks”-themed party in October. According to the post, “Prep” attire was described as a “Polo shirt, button-down, backwards baseball cap, khakis or boat shoes” whereas “Crooks” attire was described as a “bandanna, baggy sweats and a t-shirt, snapback, and any ‘bling.’ After students angrily shared the invite, the event was quickly cancelled.

Sure it exists everywhere. Now show me where the evidence is that the MSA prez's claim about the red truck is a "lie" specifically?

There are definitely racists at Mizzou: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/university-missouri-college-republicans-protest-tweet

Which is not to say either way what MSA prez said is true OR a lie. It is impossible to know either way.

This isn't going to end well. I think just about everyone is for equality, but if we are so sensitive that any piece of clothing will set people off, we are going to have to dress in uniforms. The PC on college campuses is getting out of hand.
