🏈 Black players @ Mizzou strike (UPDATE: Bill proposed in legislature, "you strike, you're out.")

This got attention and the students did this becausr of the attention the black loves matter idiots. Plain and simple.

Now the students got their way and now where does it stop? They feel taking a certain class is racist? They feel profs gave them a bad grade because of race? You eventually have to just stand up and say it for what it is bulls***.

Security increased overnight big time. Wtf is wrong with people?
 
Interesting that Jonathan Butler's (hunger strike guy) dad is a railroad exec and made $8+ million last year and he's complaining about privilege and equality? His original complaint revolved around Mizzou no longer subsidizing health insurance for graduate students.

Mizzou hunger-strike figure from Omaha, son of top railroad exec : Lifestyles

Jonathan Butler, a central figure in the protests at the University of Missouri, is an Omaha native and the son of a railroad vice president, the Omaha World-Herald reports.

Butler refused food last week in a move to force the university system’s president, Timothy M. Wolfe, from office. Wolfe resigned Monday and Butler ended his hunger strike.

Jonathan Butler played high-school football at Omaha Central High, where he won a state championship, and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Mizzou, the newspaper reports. He is working toward a master’s degree in educational leadership and policy.

He is a member of a prominent Omaha family. The newspaper says that Butler’s father is Eric L. Butler, executive vice president for sales and marketing for the Union Pacific Railroad. His 2014 compensation was $8.4 million, according to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 


I just made my way through the very well done timeline at A Historic Fall at MU - The Maneater . I'll not get those seven minutes of my life back, but I can now safely say that I am embarrassed for the MU leadership that they bowed to these incredibly ridiculous issues. It's possible that some of these students may wake up later in life and realize the pettiness of their complaints, or they may just live a life of hyper-sensitivity. Unless they all become community organizers, I shudder at their first exposure to constructive criticism and meaninful stress in the work world.

RTR,

While racism on college campuses is still very much an issue, and 100% needs to be addressed, I really don't think these sorts of movements will do anything but create greater animosity.

I understand their anger, but I question their methods.

There is talk that a protest is in the works here at SU, too. Should be interesting. Ithaca College just down the road has started a protest. About a year ago, SU students were having sit-ins and protests for several months. Those didn't get much done.
 
So one of the female leaders for some student body group is a black female and has pictures of her and friends dressed as Mexicans, Sombrero and Poncho and all, but that's no big deal....

A group start a "Blacks Only" healing circle, but that's no big deal either....

At some point one of these people that loses their job over these crybabies is going to snap and go on a spree.... and I just may applaud them for it....

One of the younger folks I know started some shit about this around here. They wanted my thoughts on it. Basically, since the groups doing this are purposefully excluding my sex and race from any discussion I could not care less about what they want. You do not get to tell me to sit down and shut up and then expect me to help fix what you are complaining about. And since this has now become more of a Bernie Sanders for President movement than a movement to really do anything (check today's protests around the country, mostly concerned with "free" college and $15 minimum wages), my concern has dropped into the negatives.
