Well it isn't daffy for the people there.
They have a right to exercise their free speech. They are also expressing their frustration as what they perceive to be institutional racism.
Edited: She didn't say that she was going to do anything personally, so probably not. The Yik-Yaker stated he was going to shoot Black people.
A privileged college student at a public university, what has the world come to?
The same S.I Hakayama who formed a protest group against all digit telephone numbers and while publicly refusing to "knuckle under" and start a Ethnic Studies program he quietly started one? There sure is a lot of daffy floating.
Ok, that's a point. Don't think he was particularly serious either though.
The point is that he claims he is oppressed rather than privileged.
I have yet to see any evidence of significant racism from before the brouhaha started, much less any evidence of administration turning a blind eye.
You mean the hat? That would be a reference to Scumbag Steve.
Thanks for confirming he put on a tough public stance while wimping out in private. LOL.
Hey, two sneer points for you! But there is a -1/2 point deduction for seemingly mocking his Japanese ancestry (Hakayama?) and a forum investigation for hateful speech.
For those more serious, and who are interested in his work, the same S.I. Hayakawa was a linguist, psychologist, semanticist, teacher and writer - an academic that wrote "On semantics, Language in Thought and Action, published in 1949 as an expansion of the earlier work, Language in Action, written since 1938" which is now in its fifth edition, and considered a classic work on semantics. It is also the same fellow who wrote or was editor of nine books, was a member of the Bohemian Club, and who had a deep "interest in Jazz and who wrote extensively on the subject."
But what is most germane is that he was the San Francisco State University (College) English professor who was tapped to be acting SFS President after SFS president Robert Smith, its sixth president in eight years, waffled and pandered, then gave them a black studies department. But it was never enough, more demands were made, the white staff of the campus paper beat up by angry blacks, and Smith finally resigned.
Hiyakawa walked into a black panther and student strike, backed some faculty, the SDS and the AFT which represented some teachers. It had been closed, and Smith had opposed reopening it.
The little 62-year old professor of semantics showed he was not the going to be like the temporizing and frightened predecessors. Initially he took activists at their word that their 15 demands were “non-negotiable”. After a brief closing, he let it be known he would meet with disaffected parties but would not negotiate unless there was at least some order. He became well known when he climbed to the top of a sound truck and ripped out the sound wiring, the little 145lb man fending (and knocking off) a larger protester. His reputation became further enhanced when he appeared with his own bullhorn to shout back at the megaphoned demonstrators.
And he had no problem signing warrants for law breakers, having over 500 arrested. And he called in the police in large numbers when protesters disrupted classes, often maintained a large police presence, and vowed that "we have a standing obligation to the 17,500 or more students", and ridiculed the “the intellectually slovenly habit, now popular among whites as well as blacks, of denouncing as racist those who oppose or are critical of any Negro tactic or demand.".
And after year of negotiations the trustees and Hayakawa hammered out an agreement with the goon panthers, etc. expanding the Black Studies department into a college and adding the "Third World" studies program. Naturally, in a hyper liberal era the Trustees didn't have the backbone to dismiss many of their ridiculous demands but at least the campus finally attained some degree of normalcy. And Hayakawa had the steel to stand up to the escalating demands, and bring order to the campus. THIS TIME, the agreements stuck.
He remained President to 1973.
Instead, we get wimps like resign and run Wolfe at U of M, and the “We failed you,” servile apologizing President of Yale.

You are the one touting his backbone. The facts are not consistent with your position. And as a matter of fact, your own words are "And after year of negotiations the trustees and Hayakawa hammered out an agreement ". Perhaps your fast and furious spinning has upset your equilibrium.
Until such time as you provide evidence of the following, your claim is unsupported:
a) That Hayakawa adamantly opposed an ethnic studies department/college, and any compromise on any of the 15 demands.
b) That Hayakawa had sole authority to over-ride trustee positions.
c) That he could have road-blocked said agreement indefinitely.
d) That Hayakawa got nothing in return for compromise.
Once you provide supporting evidence, I will entertain your claim that "he wimp(ed) out in private". Otherwise I share the LOL
And the anti-white racists rejoice at that prospect.
What about non-white racism? I guess that kind of racism is not only acceptable but is part of the party line white people are now expected to toe, right?
Left wing "logic": black radical students intimidating a college professor to resign based on imaginary incidents - "righteous indignation". People pointing out the misbehavior of those radical students - "whining"
