YES!!!! You are completely dishonest. There is a reason I said to quote any post in whole because dishonest people like you pull the words out of context (mid-sentence if it fits your agenda, distort their intention, and find red herrings in semantics as they parse your fragments of a statement. What I wrote in its entirety is below and I stand by it. And no shit that police document an allegation. Good God you are dense. Is there documented evidence? You'd need to be an idiot or just plain dishonest to not understand that I was speaking to actual evidence beyond the accusers own statements even if documented by police. Reread it and tell me you didn't know that was to what I referred.
I am really skeptical of this entire story at this point. Initially I was just critical of the first demand to the university president which was a racist and sexist attack on him. I didn't really know why the racial unrest occurred leading to that demand.
Now that I read accounts of events leading to this thing, I am more concerned than ever at what has transpired.
- So there were accusations of racial slurs initially against the black student association president and then a black student government group. At this point, there is no evidence that this was documented evidence, just an accusation against unidentified people.
- 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.
- Then you have a black journalism instructor making an accusation of racial slur at a truck driving by with a confederate flag on it. Again, there is no evidence beyond her account.
- Then presumably a student makes a shit swastika but apparently no one attempts to gather physical or other evidence that might identify who would commit this hate crime. Seems that Jewish students would be most concerned.
- Then you have a black student activist as he is described going on a hunger strike and making a list of demands, the first of which is a racist and sexist demand to the university president to resign immediately and admit his “white male privilege”.
- Then you have a video gone viral of a black mass media instructor inciting physical means to forcibly remove an Asian student reporter from their demonstration in direct violation of 1st amendment rights on the public grounds.
If you look at this whole situation through the lens of evidence, it is incredibly disturbing.
First of all, all evidence of racism towards blacks in this thing are undocumented firsthand accounts of the accusers who all happen to be black STUDENT GOVERNMENT LEADERS and a black JOURNALISM instructor. Did they really occur? Maybe, but the only evidence is their accusations against unidentified people. Maybe this is all manufactured? That is just as plausible from the evidence and the proximity to Ferguson.
Second, the actions of the protesters are 3 well documented verbal and physical threats to other races with a heavy dose of racism from the protesters. White male privilege? Physically surrounding a vehicle so it cannot pass? Forcibly removing a reporter of the wrong race?
Lastly, they achieved their objective. This is a proof of concept that in America today, with zero documented evidence racism could be manufactured (only a possibility here since there is no documented evidence to support or refute) and then used to proliferate racism against another race to verbally and physically threaten them and ultimately remove them.
Sorry people. Whether you believe that racism existed at that university or not, this is a horrifying precedent. Think about it. You can say that someone hurled racist remarks at you and then you can apparently use that to destroy someone and their livelihood. Is this really America?
