You were pretty gung ho on this from Jump Street. I know you're kind of libby, and I'm not too far from there myself, but what turned you?
The danger in this was visible from square one, what turned you?
ETA: If you don't mind me asking.

Yeah, I took this for face value right off the bat. As in, if they are willing to do all this there must be a problem. Etc.
After letting this digest for a while, I started to see what it really was.
I put all the pieces together. From the fact that CS1950 was started after a loss of health benefits, the rift between faculty and leadership before this, the faculty dealing with the media after Wolfe resigned, the lies about KKK on campus, etc.
The final straw for me was learning that hunger strike was worth $20 MIL and trying to tell us that the struggle is real. Then setting up a black only safe space so they can "decompress and be real". They essentially harbored the very environment they claimed they were trying to rid the world of.
Even someone who was trying to be as open minded as possible about all of this can't deny that its been nothing but an academic coup d'état disguised under the guise of social activism.
Not only have I changed my view on this particular event, but my entire purview is starting to change.
I imagined how I would feel if this same thing was allowed to happen on a larger stage, and I found that I didn't like that idea at all.
This feels like a dress rehearsal for something else. They have my attention.

I'm kinda of libby too, on social issues. But something just smelled funny to me on this from jump. All this uproar over 2 racial slurs and a poopsticka? Because really, that's all they claimed. And calling it "Systematic and Systemic" - I don't think those words mean what they think they mean.
Butler's rhetoric from the beginning was very much BLM, which I find horribly racist and the opposite of equal. And it happened SO fast - once they got to the football team and manipulated them...it was less than 48 hours before the Chancellor and President both resigned. That's crazy. I really didn't think they would cave, at least that fast. That's when I started to wonder if it could be some kind of coup. And my next step was that this is a dry run for Butler and BLM, training for what they want to do on a large scale across the country.
As more and more info has come out, and we see the lied exposed, and the videos...it's now obvious. It was a pure-and-simple power grab, a way to get rid of unpopular leaders cloaked in racism. And everyone is afraid of that label.
Now it's just farcical. I'm embarrassed for Mizzou. But I'm not convinced, yet, that the long-term damage will be extensive. I think this is the beginning of a large, well organized plan. We may be ground zero, but it will likely get worse in other places.
