Obama versus the snowflakes

[dismal]

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 just informed three students that they are inadmissible and should seek other opportunities. Guess I am not coddling.

Unless you called them crazy campus radical BLMers and then called the police, you coddled them.

Did you at least provide them with a safe space to recover?

I can arrange for an angry mob of students to call for your resignation.

Unless they were white hetero males, of course.

White hetero cis-males, please. You do not want to microagress trans-people by being so cis-normative.

Not my problem. They are adults. We are a major research University.


ETA: I supposed I didn't point and ridicule them as they left campus. So yes, I coddled them.

Your use of the word "crappy" invokes images of poop swastikas.

As do all your posts.

Man, a handful of black students protest conditions on their campus and some go completely insane over it.

Fear not the bad black people will not harm you who are the real snowflakes.

I don't think Obama's words are exactly "crazy". They seem to express values that used to be considered very liberal.

The world does not evolve around Obama.

Despite the obsessive fascination with this man by some.

Lock your doors tight. Keep the children indoors.

Those black protesters might be near.

So you think posters on the internet poking fun at the wailing and gnashing of teeth of college protesters and their imaginary poop swastikas are the insane ones and snowflakes?

They are definitely snowflakes.

And their opinions aren't worth a fecal swastika.

To actually know what conditions exist on a campus requires living there for a while.

Since you post here and complain about things that would make you a snowflake by your definition. Are you truly unaware of the differences between spending a few minutes a day posting on the internet and going to rallies and crying your eyes out?

Snowflakes are people who get weak in the knees and unhinged when they see black people joining in solidarity protesting something they see as a common problem.

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.
