I am glad you agree with me that White students have a right to a White Student Union and that anyone who disagrees with it's formation must be held to the same standards as one who would disagree with a (insert minority of the month here) Student Union. Any in disagreement or protest should be branded a bitter racist, be outcast, and be seen as a pariah. Glad we have that common ground. Now, about my question. Would you consider yourself a bigot intolerant of any views other than your own? Serious question.


I do agree, both on free speech grounds and pragmatically. I think racism should be out in the open so non-racists will know who to avoid and mock. That is, anyone who feels the need to join something as unnecessary as a union of white people to defend against injustices that don't exist is worthy of being either mocked or avoided entirely. I don't believe that people who are subjected to poor treatment should be criticized for banding together - it's the only way that certain people have ever received any fair treatment from majority populations. There is a reason that the Revolutionary War happened. There is a reason why the bus boycotts and civil rights marches happened. There is a reason why the KKK is universally hated and mocked.

As for being intolerant of views other than my own: I certainly prefer my own, but I disagree with people all the time. Some can even defend their viewpoints intellectually. The ones that base their views on a sense of superiority based on race are only worthy of being mocked or avoided. They will never be convinced by logic. The good news is that they are dying out quickly.

So, no one could ever be racist towards Whites?

It is racist for Whites to form a union to help each other?

I'm glad you are open and honest about your bitter racism and bigotry towards Whites. It helps to have a more honest discussion.

So you think any white person who wants to be with a group of only white people is racist.

I assume you also think the following groups are racist:

Black student unions
Congressional Black Caucus
NAACP
La Raza
UNCF
etc.

Auburn did the right thing by not letting this Neo- Nazi speak. Yes, it's important that you protect the first amendment and yes you want to make sure that you offer equal opportunity for everyone to excercize their right for freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. However Auburn also has to protect the rights of all of their students and if you allow someone who publicly against a LARGE percentage of your students, falculty, and alumni they it wouldn't be in your best interest as a public university to be connected to this man in any way.


I couldn't disagree more. As an Auburn alum I want anyone who is at the forefront of their particular field/profession/belief system/etc. to come and speak on campus. As long as they show up, respect the campus and the people that call it home, and then leave come on with it. Diversity of application is welcome to me.

Yep, your priorities are dumb.

Sure they could. But who cares? Anyone who would be racist against whites in this country has so little power that the effect would be negligible.

In theory, i guess not. In practice (see the anti-Semitic language in the flyer this whole thread is based on), it always is.

In response to this, I'll just quote an earlier post of mine:

Spencer is advocating for the ban of football. Good luck if there are any racists trying to hitch their wagon to his platform.

Actually, a public university is compelled to allow citizens to speak on its campus. Government doesn't get to decide acceptable speech (yet).

Private school? They can do as they wish.

If you can't see the difference between wanting to preserve privilege (or, in some cases, increase privilege) and banding together to increase accessibility to the same rights and privileges that are held by the majority, I don't know what to tell you. How do you feel about the Civil Rights movement in the 50's and 60's? Do you think that the Montgomery Bus Boycott was racist?

Just admit you are prejudiced against whites and be done with it. You are exhibiting the very traits that you are railing against.

Wait a minute? You speak of wanting people to die. While you don't have the stones to actually say it. You want White people to die.

You are the problem, not the solution.

Yes, hopefully racist groups like these:

Black student unions
Congressional Black Caucus
NAACP
La Raza
UNCF

Will soon die out.

Glad you agree.

You said it yourself. You just didn't realize you were discussing yourself.

You got called out on your racism so you run like a bitch.

Typical racist coward. You're probably a badass in a 5 on 1 situation.

So you don't have preconceived notions about white people based on the color of their skin? You haven't been indulging in stereotypes of whites based on their color? All this babbling about privilege isn't based solely on skin tone?

Just be honest about your beliefs at least.

Or don't. You are boringly predictable.

And those involved in violence appear to be the standard young college students.
