College melts down over plan for white people-free day on campus
2017-06-02
[NYPOST] After protesters at a Washington state college called for a day without white people, a biology professor says he no longer feels safe on campus -- and student activists complain they’re being vilified by conservative media.
I'd suggest they simply continue to a white people-free campus for good. See how that works out for them.
Evergreen State College students said racial tensions have been simmering in recent weeks, but reached a boiling point when a faculty member disagreed with their plans to protest what they say is institutional racism at the Olympia campus, according to The Olympian.
Any white person who comes back next semester is stoopid enough not to realize where they're not wanted.
Students were particularly incensed by an email that surfaced on Twitter on May 25 between Professor Bret Weinstein and Rashida Love, director of First Peoples Multicultural Advising Services. Weinstein, who is white, allegedly condemned the "Day of Absence" event that asked white people to leave campus for the day.
Individual choice, but mine would be to leave for good, preceded by wondering why I was there in the first place.
He called the day "an act of oppression in and of itself" and said he would visit campus in spite of the demonstration, according to USA Today.
I'd forget about the place. I kind of had, in anticipation, since I'd never heard of it before.
"If there was interest in a public presentation and discussion of race through a scientific/revolutionary lens, I would be quite willing to organize such an event," Weinstein wrote.
Talking about a "discussion of race through a scientific/revolutionary lens" sounds like he belongs there, regardless of what color he is.
In a YouTube video posted on May 27, a group of students is heard calling for Weinstein to be fired. Demonstrations have involved as many as 200 students pouring into classrooms and the school president’s office. "Hey-hey, ho-ho, these racist teachers have got to go," the students chanted in the video.
"Hey-hey, ho-ho," ain't that phrase ever gonna go?
Weinstein told news station KING that he was advised last week not to go to campus for safety reasons.
"Nice face yez got dere. Be a shame if somethin' happened to it!"
"I have been told by the Chief of Police it’s not safe for me to be on campus," Weinstein told KING. The station notes that Weinstein has spoken out in this year against increasing the role race plays in the admissions process.
How about "anybody can come in but white people?"
Multiple protest videos have been picked up by conservative media outlets, but the students disagree with the coverage, calling the footage "edited."
No doubt. No doubt.
"We demand that the video created for Day of Absence and Day of Presence that was stolen by white supremacists and edited to expose and ridicule the students and staff be taken down by the administration by this Friday," students said in a statement to the College Fix.
Demand in one hand, poop in the other. See which one needs to be wiped.

#16  Probably someone called and asked to grill hot dogs, with real charcoal, somewhere on campus, CF.

#15  Ahh... here it is...

​Evergreen State College in Olympia will remain closed Friday after a "direct threat" was made to the campus.

The Olympia campus was closed suddenly Thursday out of an abundance of caution, spokesman Zach Powers said.

An unknown person made a threat of "campus violence" to Thurston County officials, he said. The college's president made the decision to close campus.

The county released a copy of the phone call. A male caller told a dispatcher: "I'm on my way to Evergreen University now with a .44 Magnum. I'm going to execute as many people on that campus as I can get a hold of. You have that? What's going on here? You communist, scumbag town? I'm going to murder as many people on that campus as I can. Just keep your eyes open you scumbag."

The college asked everyone to leave campus or return to their residence halls and await further instructions. The dorms were not on lockdown, according to a spokesperson at the college.

Olympia Police Department and the Thurston County Sheriff's Office were patrolling the campus and monitoring entrances when everyone was leaving.

A spokesperson said there was no known connection to last week's race-based protests. Demonstrations held last Tuesday and Wednesday involved around 200 students.

#14  I heard they closed the college today because of a phoned-in threat to 911...

#13  Devaluing your diploma before graduation is not wise. They's top this nonsense and start demanding their student loans be paid off by the school if they had any brains. That way the diploma might be worth something and free to boot.

Wanna bet "whites" are a majority among both faculty and students?

#11  Just change this institution's name to "Neverwhite State College" and be done with it.

#9  Zimbabwe has more than a dozen universities. I'm sure they would love to take in all the non-white Evergreen students. Lots of students come here, they could go there and help with the balance of payments.

#8  An extreme case, made more so by the video publication, but not atypical. The exclusionary behavior of traditional students for white males of the Vietnam era manifests many places on campus.

#7  Wouldn't bulldozing it be more appropriate?

Yes, if student body notification were made optional.

#4  It is a violation of your bill of attainer you purchased or a breach of contract. Either/or, it was not outlined in your curricula.

Go To Town on those ignorant anarchists with lawyers and free tuition and transfers and free ice cream!

#2  If it was stolen and edited - then release the 'unedited' version.

Perhaps you can't because its the same as the released version....

Isn't 'universities' a 'white' concept see that it basically came from Europe? Why are you appropriating white culture?

#1  You want to see a day without white people in this country? Look at sub-Sahara Africa.

The values, teachings and infrastructure you enjoy was built on "white" (many different cultures, races and nations you classify as "white") ideas and white, yellow and black backs.

So go fuck yourselves.

Next time you try this shit, you will lose more than your dignity.
