'White People Shouldn't Exist', Declares Texas State University Newspaper

Where did your example note that that should be condemned, also? With no disclaimer your post implied it.

Yes, it dd.

I disagree. I have been very clear of my meaning in my post in this thread, because some did not get it.

Maybe you should go back and read it again.

I never implied that one would be OK and the other would not.

If you think that, then you've never really paid much attention to any of my posts.

It's quite the stretch to call anything Tigerace said there, regardless of whether you agree with it or not, "racist."

Oh please. He might as well be screaming white devil white devil. His rants have yet to respond to my actual statements. They have been nothing but rants targeting his preconceived notions of what my views are. Based purely on my race too. And don’t get me wrong. It doesn’t hurt my feelings. I find it HILARIOUS that he can engage in the white devil nonsense...but not recognize when he himself is engaging in it. That tickles me so.
 
So...this guy's pretty much over, he's destroyed his career, he's been condemned by just about everyone, the piece is ridiculous, clearly a gross overreach that probably seemed like a great idea at the time. I mean, I can understand where the anger that drove it comes from, it is the American south, after all, but you would think that someone interested in journalism would understand integrity...bah, actually, I just shot myself in the foot there, but maybe I get a point for calling it before you did?

I don't find it all that interesting, though...as gross and unfair and inappropriate as it is, it is the product of something else that no one wants to talk about, so I won't either.

What I do find interesting is the coverage. Google this story, and see who pops up first. It seems like the Right leaning media outlets are practically busting their zippers and painting the walls to get this out and into the hands of sensitive, excitable white folks.

A) I thought it was only the Left leaning media that got off on sensationalizing "the race card", in order to drive division and ratings.

B) Why is the Right acting so pissed? Clearly they are enjoying this....someone needs to put the PARTY in the pity party, I think. Then we can all have fun, drink a couple beers, and toast the idiot who wrote the opinion piece that allows us to generalize and over simplify and find yet another reason to flip "the other side" the bird. I'll bring the limbo stick, you bring the ping pong balls.

Why bother? When you are guity of blanket generalizations of an entire race, you have no claim worthy of disputing.

Sounds like a person with nothing. Keep up the good work.

I wouldn't lump San Marcos, TX in with the stereotype of the South that you hold. Texas State University is located in a town that is 40% Hispanic and 5.5% black. This is probably not the Southern stereotype you were going for, but it is the reality of many southern towns, especially in Texas, where Hispanics are the dominant group, not whites.

Geeeez..you mean conservative media were the only ones covering this? Shocking innit? Wolf Blitzer must have been busy that day.

Hold up here Nate. The newspaper of a publicly funded state university published an article about the benefit of eradicating white culture. And this isn't newsworthy to you? It's downright shocking to most of us. But I know how you feel; every time Blitzer and his ilk harp on the police for shooting a career criminal, I'm usually unmoved.

Blah, blah...you're ignoring the ongoing trend of minorities openly displaying hatred and bigotry of whites. Which DNC official was it who said it was time to ' leave whites behind' after the 2016 election?

Not that it matters a great deal, but here are some San Marcos statistics, for you to check out, just for the purposes of getting your story straight:

San Marcos Population and Demographics (San Marcos, TX)

Not sure what's so controversial about not being surprised at hearing from people pissed off about race relations coming from the South. I'm not making any generalizations, just not particularly shocked. Anyway, it was an offhand comment, the crux of what I was saying there was that it was a gross overreach, and lacking integrity. Being able to understand the anger and frustration behind it isn't the same as condoning or excusing it. The main point is that the article isn't helping anything, and was in poor taste.

However, since you brought it up, I'll throw this down as well:

https://www.sacurrent.com/the-daily...ewspaper-apologizes-for-white-death-editorial

Please pay particular attention to the following:

Martinez's column comes after a year's worth of race-baiting fliers have been posted around campus. A call for a vigilante squad to torture those promoting diversity went up just days after Donald Trump became president-elect in November 2016. Last December, fliers urging students to report undocumented students were posted in the school's student center. Another round of fliers in February 2017 encouraged white men to take back the country their ancestors died for (like slaves weren't forced to fight). Anti-semitic fliers, adorned with black swastikas, were posted in March. Most recently (as far as we know), flyers promoting white supremacy and using the "blood and soil" phrase used by German Nazis were posted around campus in late October.

Doesn't sound to me like it's quite the utopia of tolerance you're trying to suggest.

I know, I know, go ahead and discredit the source.

There's a lot of assholes in the world to cover, guess it didn't make the cut for folks without a vested interest in getting worked up about it. Networks play to their audiences... :shrug:

lol...great equivalency there - me not getting worked up about some radical student who decided to write a scathing article in a school paper somewhere is the same as you not caring about actual people getting really killed by police in disproportionate numbers to the rest of their fellow citizens, because of their race. Alrighy then....

The paper issued an apology, and the university condemned the article as racist as well, immediately. What else do you want? Maybe you can tar and feather the person who wrote it? Seems to me this has been roundly condemned and dealt with.

I'm not ignoring anything. Again, this has been dealt with, see above. And if you want to start throwing around stupid racist **** politicians say, I'd say you're on pretty shaky ground over there, bud. I don't condone any of it, it needs to stop. Hopefully you're as good a watch dog on "your side" as you are with the other.
