Student Discovers Previously Unknown Form of Oppression
 [PJ] Does the American liberal college student get a bad shake? Yes, they might be wrong about the vast majority of their positions, but they typically mean well, right?I'm not so sure. Take a look at the "Oppression Olympics," and you'll see that many view everything through a "me-first," "I'm a victim," self-interested lens. For example, now a student is claiming that the Leftist anger itself against President Trump's travel executive order and his illegal immigration stance is "anti-black." She says that people are talking only about Muslim and Hispanic "victims," and not black "victims," and that itself is a new form of racism. Folks, I can't make this crap up: The issues of illegal immigration and the travel ban are important to discuss and confront -- but the dialogue is also too focused away from how they impact black people, and thus contain "anti-black" sentiments. That was one point among many offered up at Loyola University Chicago’s inaugural Social Justice Symposium on Saturday. The anti-black comments came during one of the event’s breakout sessions, proffered by undergraduate student Keesha Moliere, who argued anti-blackness pervades recent immigration and environmental movements. Moliere, a Haitian-American, said protests against President Donald Trump’s travel ban, recent deportations, and environmental movements ignore the intersectionality of black individuals and how they are affected by these issues.
