Wake in Daily Caller

[PhDeac]

History means nothing to my outrage!!!

False equivalency is the core of conservative outrage. I’m stunned how educated people can equate a white person being compared to a cracker with a black person being compared to a gorilla. What history do you all learn?

 

[DistrictDeacon]

Yeah no doubt. It's not perfectly fair. But there's, like, a reason for that difference in response.

For sure, society should probably judge those two things differently. But should the Wake Forest Bias Review Group?

 

[marquee moon]

Whole thing seems like a joke, but is there any doubt that if a black student protesting Trump was handed a watermelon/had his face photoshopped on a gorilla, there would have been a ton of outrage, and the offending student(s) would have certainly faced significant discipline?

Seems like the kid's purpose was to point out the double standard, rather than truly play the victim card. Dumb thing to do, either way.

Brave thing actually.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

it's not a double standard because the standards are not the same

There is?

Forget about the race part. Dude's being harassed.

Wake says they protect against that.

As we are learning with FISAgate, the wheels of justice turn at a snail's pace, Mainer.

Yeah, bad example. Let's leave it at watermelon/fried chicken - the outrage would still be 10000x more and the offender would probably have been expelled.

I don't think we need to limit this to millennials.

Or he was a dick to someone on Twitter and got called out for it.

lol

 

[avalon]

He was not told to get lost. Per his own story, MHP encouraged him to report through the recommended channels, his case was reviewed, and the Dean talked to the students involved. His issue is that he wanted the students suspended or expelled.

 

[Kim Cattrall]

The dean (a Jew but should the matter?)

Why did you feel it was necessary to mention the Dean's religious affiliation if you don't think it mattered?

 

[bym051d]

Btw, Kim. You could use some Botox and juvaderm.

All my jap girlfriends have their plastics doc on speed dial.

Was that supposed to be in all caps?
