College Students Are Ridiculously Infuriating Safe-Space/Mega-thread

You know how orGanisations like PETA explicitly base their organisations at being obnoxious and stuntish? Yeah, I think these students are playing a similar game.

But that just backfired and PETA is widely considered a joke.

The "SJW" movement is so positively outlandish that I don't think criticizing it naturally aligns you to anyone.

Things might get particularly nasty if the Supreme Court strikes down race-based affirmative action, which it seems they're leaning toward doing.

I can't wait.

My understanding is an email was sent out saying don't wear blackface. And then a college master said, "Muh free speech" and then a bunch of people were rightly appalled.

Pay attention and don't buy into your own bullsh**t and it will start to make sense.

Nothing in the e-mail you cited mentions blackface. You just keep inserting that word despite the fact that that's isn't what people are talking about at all. Dressing up like a Spanish bullfighter for Halloween is not blackface. Nor is wearing a sombrero and a fake mustache. That's what these people are talking about, not someone literally wearing blackface around school.

You do not have a fundamental human right not to see things you don't like.

[Cory]

Are you suggesting we not make fun of these people?

No, I think it was pretty clear he was criticizing them.

"Lived Experience". Lol.

I wonder what SJW's would think of the "lived experience" of every other working class demographic in relation to black people.

Let me guess, "lived experience" = life - privilege.

Pearl Harbor happened 75 years ago. The only arguably justifiable war we've had since then has been Afghanistan.

Korea? Gulf War I? Operation Just Cause? The conflict with ISIL?
