What is scariest to me about this thread is the highlited part:
1) This is not some backwater college in the deep south stuck in the 1950s, this is a very progressive college. It seems to me like this is not a response to genuine racism, but the result of cultural marxist propaganda. Does the modern "regressive left" bear responsibility for this?
No one actually commented on that portion, Civver just slid it in like the fox he is. Though we should Not forget that any appeal to "Cultural Marxism" is always an act of antisemitism, too. Cultural Marxism is the belief that many thinkers, (deconstructionists, post-modernists, post-structuralists, post-colonialists and so forth) mainly the Frankfurt School of thought are actively trying to destroy western civilization.
However, the obvious implication here is that the Frankfurt School and all its predecessors are part of a grand jewish conspiracy trying to destroy western Civilization, aka the white man with means of: Immigration of "lesser races" to destroy the white demographic, subversion through the media, political correctness, censoring free speech, encouraging open sexuality, encouraging "degenerate" acts such as homosexuality, encouraging "mental illness" such as transgenderism and so forth.
The
Southern Poverty Law Center has reported that William S. Lind in 2002 gave a speech to a
Holocaust denial conference on the topic of Cultural Marxism. In this speech Lind noted that
all the members of The Frankfurt School were "to a man, Jewish"
The term "Cultural Marxism" isnt a new invention. Its roots go back to "Kulturbolschewismus", aka "Cultural Bolshevism", which was a term used in Nazi Germany to instill in people that all Jews are trying to subtly spread communist propaganda.
If you need any more "proof" of the connection between "Cultural Marxism" and "Jews orchestrate Immigration, Media, etc." then just hop over to Stormfront or Reddit or /pol/, these are the people that, roughly a decade ago, made the term popular in mainstream usage, so much that even the tea party holds it up like a flag now.
According to
Chip Berlet, who specializes in the study of extreme
right-wing movements, the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory found fertile ground within the
Tea Party movement of 2009, with contributions published in the
American Thinker and
WorldNetDaily highlighted by some Tea Party websites.

Please keep in mind that this is all complete
<snip>.The original Cultural Marxists advocated a drift away from consumer culture, mass media and an encouragement of local tradition, habitus, rites, a sort of cultural preservation. This is as close to traditionalist/conservatist/preservationist/reactionary thinking you will get in the Marxist department.
Do not forget that this is a very broad sweeping generelization of many different thinkers that wrote on seemingly infinite subjects with different insights. There is nothing homogenous about these groups mentioned earlier in the brackets.
The original Cultural Marxists werent at all trying to destroy western Civilization, rather the opposite: They tried to preserve local (western!) customs in order to protect them from cultural imperialism, hyper-capitalism and, the last consequence, utter homogeneity.
I, for one, think it would be nice if the "western world" in 2050 wasnt all Starbucks, McDonalds, Ikea and 7/11.
