Topic	So about that "No Whites Day" thing... there's more to the story

He was fine when it was a conscientious choice for those students to excuse themselves from classes for the day. He had a problem with it when they decided to use that day to "invite" white people to leave instead. That is an act of oppression. It's not hypocritical. Every single white person on campus left, and then he went to the media with it. According to the faculty, he didn't try to diffuse the situation, he escalated it... knowingly. He could have explained why he felt the way he did, in a calm manner. Personally, because of my religious views, I don't salute the flag. I stand out of respect, but I don't salute. When people ask me about this, I explain it to them calmly. I don't turn an easily misconstrued situation into a mushroom cloud. If I can do that, couldn't he? That's exactly what he tried to do but the students kept yelling over him and saying that he doesn't get the right to speak because of his "white privilege" and because he was "racist" See but all the accounts differ here. Half say he made no attempt, the other half say they refused to listen. Every article seems to have a bias. And the truth is getting muddier and muddier. --- Placeholder sig till I think of something better to write. <cite>MyPetKenshin posted [p:880369901] in So about t...
