Actual announcement posted everyfuckingwhere on my campus:
Normally I’d let it slide, but I’ve seen the damn thing hundreds of times in the past week and now I’m pissed.
To the brain-stem based ass gasket who’s posting them everywhere: These events going on these days are far too complex and morally questionable, on all sides, to be reduced to a racial issue. I know that there are violent, amorphous blobs of human beings out there with a “nuke 'em 'till they glow” mentality. But you’re not going to change that by hurling half-baked brain sputterings onto the sidewalk like (to borrow from a favorite post) a bored gorilla hurling feces at a wall.
You’re making the rest of us pacifists look like ill-informed children with no real ideas of their own. You’re turning us into the stereotype of the Guilty White Liberal who falls back on the race card to get them out of ideological bind. Do us a favor and just shut up until something actually happens over there, or until you know enough to back up your innocuous accusations.
Well, I haven’t seen it, but I have to confess that I read it here and immediately thought “but those things are totally unrelated!”
It reminds me of that old joke “if four people are on the bus and two get on and three get off and five get on and four get off, what color is the bus?” B does not relate to A. One of these things is not like the other.
So, yeah, though I’m pretty clearly not in the pacifist camp, I agree with the OP.
What do the tragedies in NYC and Arlington have to do with race? OBL and his droogs are being targeted because they are committing ultraviolent atrocities, not because they are Muslim or because they are swarthy. Is that so hard to understand? Sounds like the ass monkey who posted that needs to get a refund from the university bursar because he plainly hasn’t learned much.
