Do You Feel the Pendulum Swinging

I’ve seen it so many times in my life, and I know it is going to happen again.

This is a perfect example
www.yahoo.com...

Two white Arizona State University students were harassed at the school’s multicultural center over their race and their support for police, according to reports.

Anyone that knows right from wrong knows these misguided kids were bullying the two white boys in the exact same manner they have been “fighting” against. Is this what it comes down to?

Don’t segregate, but segregate…
Don’t base on the color of skin, unless you know…
Free speech, free thoughts, free expression, unless it’s something you don’t agree with.

All I have to say is be careful of what you ask for, you might just get it.

PS. If you read the whole article wasn’t that the biggest BS coming from GoFundme?

I suppose the Black students were proud to be members of the race with the highest violent crime statistics. They don't want police taking that notoriety away.

a reply to: JAGStorm

I mean…those two students are obviously trolling. I don’t care what race, gender, ethnicity you have but if you dont know how to act stuff is going to happen. Some basic common sense with a little bit of civility would get you far sometimes.

People are too stupid to realize they are being manipulated. This is a very dangerous road to walk down, playing on peoples ignorance like this. At some point even the most ignorant people will realize they've been lied to.

So what do you do when that happens? You embrace them, you do not say "told you so!". You have to understand that, even you, are validated or exonerated with the choices you make.

Being wrong is okay, that's the path of least resistance to learning. I'm shocked at how well this has worked.

I don't know where we go from here but I know that being a decent human being will always be the right card to play.

Somebody outta let blm know they are irrelevant now that the election is over.

Maybe the definition of 'Multicultural' needs to be slightly altered to make it clear that it actually includes ALL cultures and ethnicities, and not only those who are considered to be in the minority.

If the election is over why do soccer players still bend the knee?

It appears that the university problary doesn't what Multicultural means anymore as they are focusing this nonsense.

Breaking News: NASA redefines space as the gap between Biden's ears. It's vast and empty with no sign of intelligence.

a reply to: JAGStorm

I appreciate you raising awareness for this social issue and those really are a bunch of misguided kids.

Your OP, rightly so, points out the insanity of fighting for social justice and equality while shouting for segregation and displaying a stunning amount of intolerance

I just don't think it's very constructive to look at only one side of the pendulum.

In my humble opinion, although freedom of speech being one of the most important rights in our society, it doesn't mean just because you have the right to express your opinion that you always should.

If you want to fix the pendulum it would be much more effective to go back to principals as respect, civility and just be a little more considerate to your surroundings.

But we all know that isn't going to happen. You have to pick a side and join the fight.

Maybe the next generation will have more sense...

a reply to: BrokenCircles

the girl said "white is not a culture" , and she'd be right because culture is not defined by your skin colour
so therefore black is not a culture either

its human culture

no one created culture because of the colour of their skin but because they are human beings with consciousness

a reply to: sapien82

White and black culture don't exist....period.

Communities have a culture.

I watched the original video and I’ve seen several different “takes” on this event.
I’m beginning to feel as though this whole situation is staged. The t shirt, the sticker on the laptop, the overtly loud “attack” from the two girls. Just seems a little over the top to me. Like it’s a performance to upset people on both sides of the arguement.
In other words a non violent FF to keep people’s minds off of all the negative moves made by this administration towards humanity itself.

I don't think "trolling" rises to the appropriate level of description of what occurred.

Racist harassment (one of the people filming vomited up some verbal garbage about "whiteness not being centered" in the mulit-cultural building whatever TH that means) is a much more apt description of what transpired.

If the roles were reversed, and the white students had been the harassers:

- nation-wide media coverage
- calls for expulsion
- students' reputation RUINED

I guess this is what "social justice" looks like now in our country.

The term "social justice" has been raped and butchered enough...

Duty of the State:

-distribute certain vital means
-the protection of human dignity
-promote equal opportunities for everybody.

The OP has absolutely nothing to do with any of the above.

Your sarcasm detection unit needs a bit of tuning.

Other than that, we are pretty much in a agreement.

If this was two blm "activist" at a pro police rally, would they too be just trolling? Or then is it protected speech? Just curious..

I got what you were saying by placing the term in quotes....

My reply wasn't really at you, just talking into the void.

I’ll offer one better.

I will take my hispanic/black self and go to the next Trump rally. I will be wearing all my Biden/Democrat gear. Everything would be fine right? I have nothing to worry about right?
