It looks like W&M's president doesn't want to watch the Tribe go the way of those worthless fucks at Mizzou. I hope he doesn't back down.

From the article: President Reveley took issue with the nature of the group’s speech, suggesting that they try requests or suggestions instead of demands.

“I don’t deal in demands,” he said. “I don’t make demands of other people. I don’t expect to receive demands from people. I love to get suggestions, recommendations, strong arguments.”

The student activists weren’t pleased.

He will probably be out of a job by the end of the week. I mean, I sure as hell hope not, but you can't upset the thugs and snowflakes.

From the article, here is the student response:

“This is what being censored looks like,” meeting attendee Erica West, a student coordinator at W&M’s Center for Student Diversity, said on Facebook after the meeting. “This is what white supremacy looks like. This is what patriarchy looks like. This is what condescension looks like. This is what being told ‘you, your issues and your life don’t matter’ looks like. THIS is why we say #BlackLivesMatter.”

So the W&M Pres says, in essence "lets sit down like responsible adults and discuss the problems, come up with solutions". And the BLM calls such to be white supremacy and censorship. Makes sense. The last thing BLM wants is to work like responsible adults, they much prefer to be spoiled brats.

"I don't deal in demands" is a good opener, but he should have finished with "I deal in lead" Smile

Because they are poorly educated, spoiled trash in the first place.

Their response to resistance, of any kind is to scream racism, xenophobia, etc, etc etc, ad nauseum.

I am heartened to finally see a college president actually standing up to these snowflake, uneducated and spoiled little assholes.

If I were president of a college and some of the students started this rioting, burning, destruction, etc any that could be identified would be summarily expelled!

And any so-called professor who instigates that shit would be gone as well.

I see it on the news way too often where some "professor" of some obscure "specialty" urges his/her students to do destructive shit.

Saw one on TV the other day. He had urged his students, in class, to do some illegal shit.

From what I saw, he barely spoke english or at least had a very heavy accent. Accent sounded like middle east.

Anyway, good for the college president. We need a mega ton more of them.

If they want zero tolerance for racism, doesn't that include their "organization" which caters to blacks only?

The great thing about the internet is if these dumb assholes manage to pull their heads out of their asses one day, using Google to search their name to see what shit storms they caused should likely prevent them from any meaningful employment.

Who is paying for their education? If on scholarship I suggest kicking their butts out. If it's a prof out they go too. I hate my tax money paying for this type of kaka. I may be a bit cranky this am, I just sent in $1690 to the IRS!

If they don't like the answer he gave their stupid asses, they'd be beside themselves if I were in charge of that school. They'd be told to pack their shit and GTFO.

Good for William & Mary.

And the attempt to call not considering demands racist in and of itself is so clumsy that it should fall flat with any rational person. I know that many of these protesters are not rational.
