Antisemitism in the US

SIAP

 

I posted it a while back (and was told I was overreacting by saying it was representative of the problems there), but that was before they were demoted.
But I guess Columbia finally got the memo on basic common sense. Even if you don’t think they were that bad, given what’s happened recently on their campus the hammer had to come down, no choice. And the professors had to have understood the politics of that before they were dumb enough to send these texts, even if they were thought to be private.

 

I can't say for certain if it's a rare event or if it's more of a widespread sentiment but it is obviously troubling that these sentiments were shared by faculty let alone upper level faculty at that. Also the dismissiveness of these events by some who are quick with the trigger to make indictments and ascribe motives regarding other various issues that align with their own biases is troubling. Just the devolution of genuine objective discourse I guess.

 

Has the charge of antisemitism lost its sting ?

 

Columbia’s president has resigned over her inability to control antisemitism on that campus. Quite honestly, I don’t care what Columbia does …. as long as they keep their outlet store in Daytona/Holly Hill nicely merchandises with their great clothing and shoes at discounted prices.

She didn't call the SWAT team hard enough on kids, I guess. Its hard to know what is good enough for the idiots convinced Hamas is funding 20 year old protestors. One of the most heavy handed responses in the country, and it still didnt please them.

 

Could you imagine what the MSM would be saying if this was protestors blocking Black students from getting to class? And UCLA is appealing? Damn, Antisemitism is running rampant in colleges.

 

Kanye is selling Nazi t shirts on his website now

Ye's website is selling swastika shirts after boosting its profile with Super Bowl ad

 

Are you sure Kanye owns "yeezy.com?" Or is this a reference to a different site?

They have backed themselves into a corner to where they have to fight it now, or they are going to get sued out the back side, lose funding, lose their jobs etc. Just beyond dumb the myopia it took to get to this point from a place with the number of “intelligent” people UCLA has.

 

Yes it's his official site.

Moreso, I'm grasping at trying to understand why my post was removed. Linking to an official site where a world famous musician is selling swastika merchandise is against a rule? What rule does this violate?

 

Wow, I briefly peered down the rabbit hole on that one, that guy seems to be pretty nuts. Seems like when folks run out of "look at me" they have to up their game.

There is a hilarious side note to this linked article that Virginia Foxx is the one quoted as being outraged that Columbia would allow anti-Semitism. I guess only House Reps are allowed to harbor such opinions?
