Why I stopped attending a 4 year university (political correctness gone mad)

CFC has quite a few 'social justice' gurus who truly believe the cards are entirely stacked in favor of whites against minorities in every way, shape, and form just about 100% of the time. I'd love to see you all defend this.

What boggles me is I'm a minority MYSELF, and even I can see they were out of hand here. The funniest thing about it, is they're going to say the white guy was racist when clearly they were.

Apparently he's racist just because he has dreadlocks, and dreadlocks or trunk pants (or something else in his attire) are only for black people and Egyptians. Again: if it were the other way around, just imagine that. Imagine if two white students went up to a black student dressed, say, stereotypically white and they told the black student "you are offending white people you're dressed like that and you're not white."

Again. Personally I think dreadlocks and the way the white guy was dressed in general is ugly, and if I were a manager I would not hire anyone walking into an interview looking like that.

But that is thoroughly besides the point. The point is he has the right to wear those dreadlocks or whatever else, and they were harassing HIM, not the other way around. He even repeatedly tried to leave and they literally forced him to stay. I'll go as far to say that institutional racism affects people of color more than whites by quite some margin. Again, I am a person of color myself so I know this very well.

However how those two black students were acting is not positive on any level. The white guy was not causing trouble or being racist (he might be a racist for all I know but nothing in the video suggests it, and the only thing they were complaining about was how he was dressed). All this negative behavior does is cause unnecessary racial tension, and by extent, give black lives matter, and the left wing in general a bad name. I'll even go as far to say a vote for trump is a vote in a knee-jerk reaction to this kind of political correctness gone mad. "boo hoo, white guy in dreadlocks! "

There is a certain level of political correctness gone mad in college campuses, one of the reasons I stopped attending the university. It's not nearly as bad at junior colleges. When I was an English major at a university (I had studying books that would improve my actual English and writing skills in mind) we learned mostly about why white heterosexual men are all evil, no matter what they do.

Didn't watch your video, description was adequate. Thank you for description.

Assault is never okay. Nobody is going to defend it.

You'd be surprised. There are two or three posters here who I can think of that will try to defend this. When I say defend, I don't mean they will say assault is okay, but they will find some BS excuse as to why this behavior is "understandable". Or they will avoid discussing the assault, refuse to call this racism, and try to deflect the conversation from the actual assault by trying to make the discussion about so-called "white privilege".

WTH? You dropped out of a 4-year university because of THIS? What were you thinking?!?

Okay yes, grabbing someone's wrist is legally an assault, but it's not what most people think of when they think of an assault. "Oh help. She grabbed hold of my wrist to keep me from walking away. Help. Call an ambulance."

That's something to get angry about or at least be concerned. Did you confront the professor about this? Or did you slink away feeling victimized?

Don't try to minimize it. Sure, it wasn't a savage beating, but this was still a pretty bad situation. The two black students had the guy cornered and when he tried to extricate himself from the situation, they refused to let him leave. Oh and once the female realized she was being filmed acting like a racist bully, she decided to assault the person filming as well.

And you know damn well you would not be trying to minimize the situation like this if it were two white students who had a black student cornered like this.

EDIT: Oh, I just realized the black female is an employee of the university, not a student. That actually makes this a lot worse and this person should be immediately fired for her conduct. Of course, she probably won't be because if the university did fire her, all the special snowflake SJWs would protest claiming she was fired because she is black.

Oh, it could have been worse. And worse things have probably happened that weren't caught on film. But that is besides the point. The point is that there are *LOTS* of politically correct crusaders who legitimately feel this way. That legitimately believe she was in the right for acting that way. Yes, she could have punched or kicked him. But when the best defense you have is "well, it could have been worse... " you probably don't have a very good defense. The young man here was doing absolutely nothing wrong. She harassed him and literally prevented him from leaving the scene. Of course someone would film her for that behavior, and then she tried to take their camera away.

Of course the larger issue at hand here is, like I said, that so many left wing pretzels at modern universities (at least in the United States) actually feel this way. I went to a small university in the south... even somewhere like that, where you'd think political correctness wouldn't be out of hand, it was. I can only imagine somewhere like San Francisco where this apparently was. I guess it really shouldn't be a surprise at all.

That's something to get angry about or at least be concerned. Did you confront the professor about this? Or did you slink away feeling victimized?

When half the classes teach the same thing, obviously it isn't a fluke and the institution as a whole supports this ideology.

I'd not let any of these mindless (expletive deleted) change my life. One interesting story about how far its gotten however occurred maybe 15 to 20 years ago when I went for my contractors license. You had to take 2 courses such as 'Job Safety' or 'Business Ethics', and there were more such that might actually be useful. One stood out however. 'Women in Contracting'. I crap you not. Your tax dollars at work. There were no women in my class so it wasn't offered as an option, I guess it was just feel good BS for them. Women don't need to learn about safety or ethics, that's for sure. If it was available I might have gone for it just in case there were pics of sexy babes in work belts.

There was no corresponding feel good BS class about how wonderful men in contracting are. Go figure.

Who are these people?

Who are these people?

As I understand it, it would be a violation of forum rules to name specific members.

 

[useless]

Well i would never defend any sort of violence.

 

[luiz]

"Violence" apart, just saying someone shouldn't have dreads because that's "cultural appropriation" is pathetic, racist, ignorant and authoritarian.

This whole concept of "cultural appropriation" is yet another demented invention of SJW imbeciles.

We are humans. Cultures are not trademarked. Every single culture on Earth, save perhaps of isolated and uncontacted tribes, is the product of "culture appropriation". And African-American culture has virtually nothing of African anyway. It's an American sub-culture.

That said, if you really left college over this, that was a very bad decision.

Do people really talk like this? They're all but mugging to the camera. It's also oddly well lit, stable and has really good audio. Honestly looks really staged. Maybe for a class on sensitivity, or and educational video. The white dude with the filthy hair in particular cannot possibly be real.

I had the same impression, the guy in the video certainly doesn't look like he's being assaulted.

 

[BvBPL]

There are lots and lots of good, considered reasons not to pursue a four year degree. Wimping out because of the slings and arrows of fools is not one of them.

 

[Snerk]

Are you quitting because of the lectures or because of the incident in the video? (assuming it's not staged)
I guess I don't see a link between the two.

If real the video depicts a clearly disturbed woman who grabs a student because of his hairstyle or something and then precedes to some kind of assault on one with the camera. This is obviously not a part of her job description and she'll hopefully get fired ASAP for gross misconduct of some degree.

As for CFC's league of "social justice gurus" I'm hearing so much about in this thread. Still waiting for them to turn up. Are they usually this late?

Hey Lucy, I hate to say I told you so, but...

Defense through denial.

I'd like to think I headed them off with my first post and sort of indirectly shamed them into not posting here.

 

[Senethro]

Could you guys stop making this a racial issue? All Wrists Matter.

 

[Kyriakos]

Hm.

Don't drop uni due to idiocy of others. Any uni degree may be of great use in the future.

Re the video: this is just dumb. Personally i don't see why anyone would care if others think they own a culture in the first place. It is somewhat very slow in the brain.
