Pathetic! Our universities are no longer institutions of higher learning. They have become daycare centers for the production of and protection of future useful idiots.
 

 Berkeley Protesters: Mid-Term Exams Are Racist And You’re a White Supremacist

By Steven P. Ahle -

October 6, 2017

On Thursday, the Daily Caller reported that students of color tried to disrupt mid-term exams at UC Berkeley.  Apparently, mid-term exams are racist and the professor and the students who actually studied and were taking the tests are white supremacists.  In fact, the students said the exam harms minority students and causes them undue stress.
From the Daily Caller

“This is a campus that is truly related throughout Latin America to the notion of free speech, said professor Harley Shaiken to the class, eliciting laughter and derision from the protesters.

Dismissive of the professor, the activists claimed that their “well-beings are being put on the line because of the emotional, mental, and physical stress that this university is compounding with what is already going on in [their] everyday lives.”

One protester shouted: “Have you ever checked ‘unlisted’ or ‘undocumented immigrant’? I don’t think so!”

Shaiken, who has written about workers’ rights in Mexico, is an expert in labor issues and earned the Outstanding Teaching Award at the University of California, San Diego in 1991. Despite his expertise in the subject, the students called him unfit to lecture them on the subject because he is white.

“Are you trying to silence us right now? Is that what you’re trying to do?” said a protester responding to a student who jokingly asked if it was a filibuster.

So, these snowflake students don’t want to take the exams at all? No. They have agreed to a take-home version that gives them a few days to fully prepare the answers.  Are these people for real?  I think that the problem is that the university officials have bent over forward to these race-baiters so many times, they now see it as a constitutional right.

More from The Daily Caller (Edited for language):

The professor offered to leave the classroom and hold a discussion with the protesters outside to prevent further disruption of the exam, but they refused. Instead, they took their complaints to the Department of Ethnic Studies.

“I don’t know why you’re still, like, sitting down, y’all. I don’t understand. I really don’t understand. Y’all can take your f**king test, but people are dying out there,” complained one protester, who remained behind to accuse her peers of not participating in their protest. She accused her fellow students of supporting white supremacy.

These alleged students tried to intimidate a white professor because they thought he would back down and when he didn’t, they merely called him a racist and the students taking the tests, white supremacists.  Both terms are so over-used that nobody with a lick of common sense even notices anymore.
From PJ Media

Instead, they’re trying to bully him because he’s a white man teaching on a somewhat ethnic topic. They’re demanding he “check his privilege” because they expect the white man to capitulate to their insane demands, and the fact that he won’t is taken as proof of his racism. His credentials are irrelevant to the social justice jihadi. All that matters is that he’s white and therefore wrong.

And these are the same people trying to understand the rise in racism?

Black Student Group Loses It When They See Actual Africans on Campus

Once in a while, a story comes along that is so ironic it needs this label in bold: “Not satire.”
Liberals continue to look more like a parody every day. The progressive farce was just taken to a new level by black students at Cornell University, who are making sweeping demands after they realized that actual Africans from Africa are taking many student positions at the college.
Yes, the race-obsessed busybodies at Cornell are in a panic because there is now too much diversity.

In a letter from “Black Students United” to school administrators, the group accused the university of admitting too many people from Africa and the Caribbean, which has a large African ethnic population.
Again: Not satire.
“The Black student population at Cornell disproportionately represents international or first-generation African or Caribbean students,” claimed the hand-wringing letter.

In other words, a black advocacy group believes that admitting African students is unfair to blacks, because… er… they’re not real blacks. A young man from Mozambique knows nothing of the true black struggle in New York, you see.
“Cornell must work to actively support students whose families have been impacted for generations by white supremacy and American fascism,” the hysterical letter continued. It’s as if they simply threw social justice buzz words into a blender and pressed “On.”
Hilariously, the student group shredded the normal liberal talking points and bizarrely took an anti-immigration and noticeably nationalist stance.
“We define underrepresented Black students as Black Americans who have several generations (more than two) in this country,” the list of demands helpfully explained.

If conservative groups suggest that Americans should have preference over new immigrants from outside of the border, they’re called horrible racists and Nazis. When a liberal organization does the same thing and also adds a blatant racial definition, it’s progressive. See how the game works?
These demands by “Black Students United” make it painfully clear that their aim has nothing to do with actual racial justice.
If it were actually about race and ethnicity, the students would be cheering for as many Africans to come to the university as possible and even giving up their positions so that under-privileged immigrants from that continent could attend.
Instead, it is obvious that the student group has one objective: Self-aggrandizement.
Like all of the perpetually outraged, Black Students United have convinced themselves that they deserve special treatment under any and all circumstances.
The Cornell group is willing to argue that being born in the United States with all of its freedoms and opportunities makes them less privileged and more victimized than truly oppressed black students stepping off a boat from Africa.
This is not only a lie, but it’s also insulting to the world’s downtrodden, who would trade places with the woe-is-me students at Cornell in a heartbeat.
BSU charges make-believe fascism and vague white supremacy wherever it looks — while ironically engaging in the same type of nationalist superiority and entitlement that it claims to oppose.
The truly frustrating part of these demands is that they toss aside decades of real racial progress and unity that African-American figures worked hard to promote.
Color blindness has been replaced by an obsession with identity politics — and they are derailing the future progress of their countrymen as a result.
