Micro-aggression at Kalamazoo College
« on: March 04, 2015, 07:03:14 PM »
A student at Kalamazoo College has been attacked and labeled “homophobic” and "racist" by student government representatives because he wanted to facilitate a discussion about campus carry.

In an audio recording exclusively obtained by Campus Reform, students at a Student Commission meeting—K-College’s student government—interrupted Alexander Ross, a sophomore political science major, as he requested that the students engage in a conversation about campus carry, a request he had been asking the Commission for five straight weeks.

...

"Sorry, I'm gonna have to interrupt you because you as a white male talking to me," protested an unidentified member of the Commission midway through Ross's remarks.

...

Members accused Ross of "racism," "homophobia," and "sexism," and some even went so far as to accuse Ross's pro-Second Amendment position of desiring to kill students in black hoodies.

...what he has implied, they’re called micro-aggressions,” said Makalo.

Reading through this but not having a chance to listen to the audio, I'm at a loss for words.  Disqualifying someone based on their race and sex is discriminatory.  Even at that, wanting to have a open dialog about the 2nd amendment some how warrants a threat?   I can only think of feminist and minority studies professors teaching how to act in their classes.  So much for adibing by the law and constitution.

Wow... just....  WOW...  I can't believe the way they try to absolutely disregard him because he's white.


"white privilege" means "shut up" and "we dont' care what you have to say"....


Amazing.


This is the exact reason that people need to get into politics.  People with conservative values and constitutional principles need to start early..  in prep school... getting elected to the student counsel... in college....   and after.   The liberal morons like these people and the PC police are all getting elected and enacting their will.


I'm literally sickened by the way they shut him down... now granted, we didn't hear the entire discourse... so perhaps he did make rude remarks... but from what is in the audio and what the response to him is..  absolutely disgusting.

It's not racism if the subject of discrimination is Caucasian, according to the MSM.
