SHOCKING News From Oberlin! [re: racist incidents]

The question of whether racism, anti-semitism, and bigotry exist is different from the question of whether they exist on the Oberlin campus. They do not exist on the Oberlin campus, as far as we know, but a hoax was perpetrated to convince people that they do. The left-wing administration used the hoax as a justification to cancel classes and hold a bunch of rallies and other exercises in left-wing cluelessness.

The point that astorian wants to make, I think, is that while anti-semitism and racism do exist in America, their prevalence is vastly exaggerated by the left, and fake or exaggerated incidents are constantly used for that purpose. Drawing attention to this particular hoax is a way of making that point. There have been many similar instances on many campuses.

From theLinkedIn profile of one of the perpetrators:

Are you sure you want to know?

Your links go right back to the same website, Legal Insurrection.

And? You think they manufactured those LinkedIn profile screenshots? Here is the page where one of the hoaxers organizes for Obama: https://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/44ldr

I don’t know if he- not ‘they’- did or didn’t. That’s why I’d like a second source.

According to this one guy. Is there a second source for any of this?

“Jeri Galluci, who heads White Allies Against Structural Racism, the Ithaca-based anti-racism alliance cited on LinkedIn by Bleier, confirmed to TheDCNF that Bleier is a member of the group.”

Silly! Everyone knows that racism, antisemitism and antigay stuff hardly ever happens in the US, and that when it does it’s really liberals behind it.

It’s perfectly logical that this would drive someone away from liberal values.

Oh, so one source isn’t enough for you, eh? Need somebody with some rock solid non-partisan credentials, you say? How about Michelle Malkin! From the well respected *National Review Online!

So there!

At long last, this proves racism doesn’t exist. Therefore let’s never call anyone or anything racist again, because there’s no such thing.

“Bored College Jerks Pull Off Hoax!” I am shocked that such a thing could happen!

:rolleyes:

You better believe that’s a paddlin’!

Yeah, and on the other hand, he deliberately terrorized minority students for a laugh. Still sounds pretty racist to me, regardless of his other political affiliations.

I’ve expanded the thread title a bit so it’s clearer what the topic is.

From the article you link:

That’s the same source as the OP. The same one source.

Edit- **Terr **did the same thing:

That’s the same source used by the OP. It’s ALL ONE GUY.

This thread really does one thing well- it proves Hillary Clinton was right.
There really is a conservative conspiracy echo chamber. There really is a vast right-wing circle jerk of hate.

So far, all these stories are all based on one guy with a blog.

That’s a rewriting of her quote, and more importantly this is inappropriate for GD.

Denial is strong…

www.dailycaller.com is “one guy with a blog”?

One guy with a website, you like that better?
It’s still one guy. One single source. There is no second source, it’s all one guy.

Whoopsie. Sorry about that. Didn’t mean to be inappropriate, won’t happen again.
edit- I didn’t quote her though. But I’m still in the wrong on appropriateness. Sorry to all.
