The danger in this was visible from square one, what turned you?

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.

This.

I'm a far righty. When it first happened, I said okay...let's hear details about the problems. Two N-words and a swastika (anti-Semitic issue). Laughable.

Then I read their demands. Equally laughable or even more so.

Folks, those two items were enough for me to recognize that this "protest" does not pass the "smell test". Now the truth comes out. We're lucky that the truth developed within a week. What we have here are young anarchist in training, taught by other anarchists and lead by poor, weak administrators.

Racism is real and everywhere.

Always question the facts first regardless of the left or right. I was right this time early. Next time I'll be wrong early.

These jag offs had no power but the power that was given to them. The Administration bent over and put its own head in the guillotine. If the University can extricate itself from the mess in which it placed itself, that remains to be seen.

I'll add that the leading suspect in one of the racial incidents and the poopstika is black.

Also, the Student Body Pres that said he was called a racial slur sent out a tweet claiming the KKK was on campus and he was in consultation with MSHP and the national guard. It wasn't true and he had to walk it back, but it sure raises questions about the truth of his previous claim. Little boy crying wolf (pun intended).

I was honestly trying to figure out the black up roar of a poopsticka. I could understand a jewish backlash to it.
