As a normal, personable high IQ black guy (feel free to crack jokes, but also state your income and test scores pls), part of me loves seeing my people become increasingly unhinged and unreasonable. Makes me seem like even more of a unicorn.

This obviously makes black people look worse to the average person in the abstract, but I only interact with a tiny portion of society. In my professional and social circles, I'm persuaded it makes me more valuable.

don't worry about it. when shit like this happens you're gonna have SOME reaction to it, and there are worse things you could be thinking. you don't have to pay too much attention to that part of you.
as for me, I'm not black so I don't have to give a shit about these guys other than thinking that they're harmless idiots. society shouldn't entertain all this bullshit, and it won't forever. and when that happens it'll probably be a growth experience for all concerned.

it does make me think that the level of affirmative action should probably be reduced. blacks don't need to be 10% of the student body, and if they were 5% they'd probably mix more with the other students and be less politically butthurt. I think it'd also be good for society if talented blacks were distributed a little more widely around the country rather than being concentrated into a few enclaves. it'd make them more like normal americans rather than rare birds to be paraded around by elite shitlibs.

not only do they get national pub from lib media, but school administrators and also "open minded" students will bend over backwards to give them whatever they demand, so matter how absurd.

In all likelihood, Princeton students didn't choose old Nassau bc they are LESS into SJW identity politics than Harvard/Yale kids. They just didn't get in.

Shitlibs hate him because he was deeply racist. Libertarians hate him because he pioneered the notion of the expert-administrative bureaucracy having all power to change society. Conservatives have no use for him. He doesn't have a lot of friends these days.

I support this move because fuck Wilson for intervening in WWI and picking the side of TTT British/French and destroying Germany leading to Nazism/Communism etc
so basically we cant name or memorialize anybody before Kennedy because even Eisenhower has the operation wet back thing against him
Tanjong argued that the university must “acknowledge that our past was white-centered, white-focused and plagued with white supremacist ideology. That Princeton was built for wealthy, white, cisgender, Christian males. That everyone who does not fit that definition was not meant to be here. That our campus culture still tells people who don’t align with that demographic that they still are not meant to be here.”

Wilglory Tanjong, one of the student organizers with the Black Justice League on campus, said they began with a demonstration in front of the hall and are now holding a sit-in “indefinitely.”

how long until every university in america (which if they are more than like 150 years old, more than likely have a "history based on racism and slavery") starts using the NYC public school numbering system for their names?

whats ironic is that all the blacks at all these prestigious colleges are there because of AA boost. their numbers would likely be close to 0 at every single one of these colleges if it werent for the benevolence of the administration. im glad this is happening, this is great. i hope now that the blacks are in like a Trojan horse they will demand more and more unreasonable things, like letting more blacks in, etc.
honestly i truly dont think this will lead to anything huge, a few courses will be added, some names taken of buildings. but you never know, this could be start of something catastrophic, who knows.

even places that WERE built with slave labor were not IMPOSSIBLE to have built WITHOUT it. in fact, that would have just meant more work for free men, which would have been good for them and the community overall.

[Princeton’s Black Justice League] demanded “cultural competency training” for all faculty and staff, including discussion of “the true role of freedom of speech and freedom of intellectual thought in a way that does not reinforce anti-Blackness and xenophobia.”
Date: November 19th, 2015 10:22 AM Author: talking racy abode
That's actually misleading. The demand was for cultural competency training, and it was shot down because opponents said it would effectively suppress free speech. So, they're demanding the "conversation" about the "true role of freedom of speech" so that people can come around to the correct viewpoint and understand the need for propaganda.

HOLY FUCK. You're not kidding. No flame, I was considering applying to a grad program there -- though it might not even be called the Woodrow Wilson school by the time I do. This is insane. They are just straight up erasing history now. Holy fuck.
