Obama versus the snowflakes

,
There a terribly biased definition. A better definition of the slang term snowflake is a person that has a fragile personality. No need to inject political qualifications.

Since when is any accuracy needed in these matters?

People have reduced these protests to two incidents as opposed to understanding that these two incidents were the last straw.

last straw? Why do you think the underprivileged Yale students were just one email about Halloween costumes away from snapping?

You are ignorant, not dumb.

You know that was about Missouri.
 
Barack Obama said:
Sometimes there are folks on college campuses who are liberal, and maybe even agree with me on a bunch of issues, who sometimes aren’t listening to the other side, and that’s a problem too. I’ve heard some college campuses where they don’t want to have a guest speaker who is too conservative or they don’t want to read a book if it has language that is offensive to African-Americans or somehow sends a demeaning signal towards women. I gotta tell you, I don’t agree with that either. I don’t agree that you, when you become students at colleges, have to be coddled and protected from different points of view. I think you should be able to — anybody who comes to speak to you and you disagree with, you should have an argument with ‘em. But you shouldn’t silence them by saying, "You can’t come because I'm too sensitive to hear what you have to say." That’s not the way we learn either.

I assume the appropriate response is to unleash tirades of profanity in his face and demand his resignation.

Let's get out of our safe spaces and get on with it.

I only just saw this. Good on Obama. Where does Hillary stand on this insanity?

Holy shit, dude. You're way out of line with that question.

What is it that makes you think that a white woman has the moral authority to comment on what a black man said? Have you completely forgotten about slavery? Just reading your post makes me need to retreat into my safe space and have a decaf latte in order to calm down. :mad:

Make sure those coffee beans are fair trade and that the "latte" is soy or almond.
 
I can arrange for an angry mob of students to call for your resignation.

Unless they were white hetero males, of course.

Please do, I can use the severance pay. Oh wait, damn union is gonna want me to put up a fight to keep this crappy job.

Against coddling - good for you. Universities of all sorts should be the platform for all kinds of views whether acceptable or not. Political correctness is used to shutdown debates and inquiry. While there are certainly some limits in terms of safety or incitement to violence, I think freedom of speech should try to encompass as many viewpoints as possible.
