Black Mizzou players say they'll strike until president Tim Wolfe resigns

Moral of that story is "think first." If he ever wanted to move from there, his future is compromised...
I love your passion, objectivity and pursuit of truth.Remember the graduate student health insurance part of the story was apparently the reason Butler went on the hunger strike.

You remind me a lot of myself (in my better days) and who I desire to be (in my not so better ones).
Thx.
Don't have a link to support this, but........(I know some will kvetch)........
The grad student who was so upset at the racist environment did 4 years there, as an undergrad. Now in his 4th, as a grad student.
I would think he would have not needed 8 years to figure out it was a racist and horrible place.
And speaking of hostile environment..........here is some precious snowflake explaining why it is such a horrible place:

Sorry, snowflake, the same First Amendment that protects my right to call you an idiot is the same right that allows you to show us just how much of an idiot you really are. Maybe Fidel will give you a nice safe space, to mellow out in.
Not likely, but I digress...........
And anyone who wants to pretend that these precious snowflakes, away from Mommy and Daddy, at the tender age of 18-22, and need some special protection...........
Yeah, you can guess what I think.
If those horrible words offend them so dang much: stop listening to rap music! (If it can actually be called music.) That would be a good first step.

At that age my pop was flying bombing missions over Europe. He came home at 23 with 65 missions under his belt, 2 Purple Hearts and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Excuse me if I'm dismissive of this crap.

Hmm, sounds like something a weirdo from Texas has been saying................hmm, very strange. And dangerous!
Pardon another of my o/t diversions, but since someone started it, even though they did not know it..............
Dad had his "white male privilege", in the form of shrapnel, in his knee, that he got in '45, in Germany. He still had that same "white male privilege", in '55, when he decided that running his own garage was not the best way to go about things. He applied to the GM training center, that was 5 miles (or so) from our house, so he could train to become a "Mr. Goodwrench".
Except he was presented with a different "white male privilege": they only hired real Americans. Since Dad's family moved back to Italy, and they ended up spending 3 years there (probably since it took his dad that long to save up enough $ to bring the family back), he was not considered a real American. Despite serving in the Army, fighting in "the big one", and still carrying that reminder of doing his duty to his country. This was during the "red menace" days, so they (probably) used that as an excuse not to hire the dirty dago. Who knows?
He still had that "white male privilege" with him, 5 years later, when he went to an early grave.
Guess who has never owned a GM car, and never will. (Hint: he has a hot rod Plymouth.)
So much for "white male privilege".
OK...........the funny part of the story.
Dad had 3 older sisters. The one right above him told me most of the details, of their time in Italy, a year or so before I would have not had the opportunity to hear about it.
She was born in America, grew up speaking "American", and then had to learn Italian, so she could go to school in Italy.
Then learn American, all over again, when they returned. Well, I thought it was funny.

October 20, 2015
During the University of Missouri’s 104th homecoming parade, Saturday, October 10, 2015,
eleven Black student leaders on campus interjected themselves into the parade, presenting UM
system president, Tim Wolfe, and the Columbia community with a demonstration addressing
Mizzou’s history of racial violence and exclusivity. The demonstration covered the raw, painful,
and often silenced history of racism and discrimination on the University of Missouri’s campus.
This history of racism at Mizzou dates back to 1935 when Lloyd Gaines petitioned the university
to be its first Black law student and was denied admission. The actual year that the first Black
student, Gus T. Ridgel, was accepted in the University of Missouri wasn’t until 1950, hence
where the concept of “Concerned Student 1950” comes from.Concerned Student 1950, thus, represents every Black student admitted to the University of
Missouri since then and their sentiments regarding race.related affairs affecting their lives at a
predominantly white institution. Not only do our white peers sit in silence in the face of our
oppression but also our administrators who perpetuate that oppression through their inaction.
The Black experience on Mizzou’s campus is cornered in offices and rarely attended to until it
reaches media. Then, and only then, do campus administrators seek reactionary initiatives to
attest to the realities of oppressed students, faculty, and staff. These temporary adjustments to
the university’s behaviors are not enough to assure that future generations of marginalized
students will have a safe and inclusive learning experience during their time at Mizzou.
It is important to note that, as students, it is not our job to ensure that the policies and practices
of the University of Missouri work to maintain a safe, secure and unbiased campus climate for
all of its students. We do understand, however, that change does not happen without a catalyst.
Concerned Student 1950 has invested time, money, intellectual capital, and excessive energy to
bring to the forefront these issues and to get administration on board so that we, as students,
may turn our primary focus back to what we are on campus to do: obtain our degrees.
The following document presents the demands of Concerned Student 1950. This document
reflects the adjustments that we feel should be made to the University. We expect a response to
these demands by 5:00pm on October 28, 2015. If we do not receive a response to these demands by the date above, we will take appropriate nnonviolent actions. If there are any questions, comments or concerns, you may forward them toConcernedStudent1950@gmail.com.
The struggle continues,
Concerned Student 1950
List of Demands
I. We demand that the University of Missouri System President, Tim Wolfe, writes a handwritten
apology to the Concerned Student 1.9.5.0 demonstrators and holds a press conference in the
Mizzou Student Center reading the letter. In the letter and at the press conference, Tim Wolfe
must acknowledge his white male privilege, recognize that systems of oppression exist, and
provide a verbal commitment to fulfilling Concerned Student 1.9.5.0 demands. We want Tim
Wolfe to admit to his gross negligence, allowing his driver to hit one of the demonstrators,
consenting to the physical violence of bystanders, and lastly refusing to intervene when
Columbia Police Department used excessive force with demonstrators.
II. We demand the immediate removal of Tim Wolfe as UM system president. After his removal
a new amendment to UM system policies must be established to have all future UM system
president and Chancellor positions be selected by a collective of students, staff, and faculty of
diverse backgrounds

I haven't read the whole thread and I am aware of what is going on but to me this seems a bit silly. Is this a coincidence that this is in Missouri?
This is not about politeness or decorum. Something more important and more fundamental is at stake here. The free exchange of ideas, and the competition of ideas in which the best ideas triumph depends on access to information. The fact that Prof. Click seemed to believe that Concerned Students 1950 get to reserve their own "space" (surely the most overused and tired cliche in academia today), and to ask others to intervene to force the media away from the proceedings on public property, shows she does not understand the idea and its critical role in the success of the West. Maybe she resents the West's success over other societies. If so, she should so state, but those embracing that position are laying the groundwork for a bunch of not so pleasant events that will follow, as surely as night follows day.
See, the Prez of Mizzou ight as well as stayed put, this didn't satisfy this bunch..........man these elites don't learn anything

If the students want to protest something atrocious, how about the Missouri Tigers' offense?
Here's another video of her. She mocks the photog when he brings up the First Amendment. Luckily, her coworkers are working to remove her after her actions.
