Missouri Black football players on strike

[stevenash]

Every day I wake up and pray thanking God for my health, all the great things I've been given, and that I don't live in Missouri. What a hole that must be

I have a friend in Blue Springs, amongt other things the extremes in weather in Missouri (or as they call it "Misery") are incredible.

Wind chills of 30 below in winter are not that uncommon and the heat index (or as some know it as by 'real feel') of 120 in August.

[seaborneq]

This may be the most ignorant logic I have ever seen. Pull these scholarships and what great high school talent is going to go there in the future? They play in the SEC. Imagine black kids being considered sell outs for even considering missouri. That's what would happen. Can they field a successful team with all whites in the SEC? And imagine the negative press they'd receive. They'd get buried. On the heels of the rape case that was poorly handled there and ended in the victim's suicide. You can't be serious.

Yes. He is serious.

[itchypickle]

I don't know enough about it to support it, haven't really read much just saw pictures. I just don't like discrimination and racism and I like to see people of all colors come together for a good cause.

So are you for or against how the Mizzou people kicked out their white allies today? Forced all whites to leave the black cultural center so they "could heal and be real". Sounds pretty much life self segregation to me...but what do I know.

[rkelly110]

There would be no protests to throw out the president if the president did something. He chose to do nothing.

See ya, bye.

Well said

It was vandalized last night, a guy also arrested for saying he was going to shoot every black he saw, not the first time the center has been misappropriated. In 2010 the lawn littered with cotton balls. It was the university's president who asked those students to use his resignation to heal. But Im not there I cant speak for them.

Exactly and he didnt start to have a pulse until his job was on the line. Im sure he wishes he had handled things differently.

[recon1]

What I have read, such as a timeline of events, and the nonreaction to do something about it, I'm in agreement with. Imagine if the same things were occurring at HBCU's and the whites were complaining, I'm sure the sentiments would be different, no?

I'm not sure of your analogy of Historically black colleges, but the exact question is: what are the injustices these kids attending college have? Exactly what?

So are they making all of this up?

[recon1]

J, I've read some articles and I've heard nothing EXACTLY of the "Injustices" made against these kids.

Seriously, I'm asking what the protest are about? Just that simple. Ive heard of rumor and butt hurt feelings over things not proven.

I'm asking because i thought i was missing something. I listed at least a dozen things that should send every Man, women and child in streets to unite and fight for. Now, I'm just wondering what is oppressing these folks from attending college and bettering themselves the way they see fit?

[Kermit]

Student body President Payton Head should have been expelled for lying when he sent out twitter messages confirming that the KKK was on campus which caused a panic. This is also the same person who claimed a truck with rednecks in it yelled racial slurs at him. This whole thing is starting to sound more and more bogus every day.

Well like I said Ive only read the timeline, honestly like many of the other things thats happened with this racial stuff the past couple years I just dont care enough to pay close attention to it. Although some things are interesting I cant stop it. From that timeline I see stuff to get upset about, its not for me to say if the students handled it right because Im not on that campus and didnt go through that stuff there, but Ive had my fair share in my life. The thing is no one should be subjected to any sort of racism or discrimination of any sort no matter how small it may seem to the next person. So yeah if there is say cotton balls poured over a lawn or a feces swastika on a wall yes those are acts of racism and not to be tolerated.

So cotton balls and fecal swastikas are causing people to lose out on what?

What has been confirmed? is what i should be asking. Seems i here allegations and shit stirring, but no evidence for any of the results.

A policeman wrote the report of the swastika, do you think he fabricated it?

As for the others.

[teaserpleaser]

Cotton balls ...I would have laughed at that shit....now the actual "shit" used to make the swastika that's no laughing matter...nasty motherfukkers. What's up with white dudes and playing with shit ? The ones I played football with in high school used to like to paper bag their shit light it on fire and put it on people's doorstep and ring the doorbell and run...Thought it was strange in the 90s ... still strange today.

[Kermit]

Surprisingly they have no suspects for this, so no one knows who is actually responsible, or what their agenda truly was.

Just a couple weeks ago not far from the college it was nationwide news that there was a white racist setting fire to black churches.

Here is the white racist.



Now why was this man setting the fires? Did he hate religion or was he purposely trying to increase racial tensions?

[chunk]

So you can ONLY support a cause if you are NOT on scholarship????? Wow. Good thing the athletes were given the scholarships and didn't have to earn them. Those lucky ungrateful bastards.

Supporting a cause is one thing, extortion is another. The air traffic controllers tried to pull the same shite on Reagan back in '81 and it didn't end well for them. Unfortunately, this country is lacking leadership today.

Last I checked extortion was illegal. Who was extorting someone legally in the public eye???? You are comparing athletes who schools DON'T want to give a cost to attend college stipend to 6 figure air traffic controllers with a union????? You just want everyone to get in, sit down, and shut up don't you?

[jtoler]

I have no idea. Surely you wouldnt want me to speculate about the motives of a lone nut.

[M.W.]

All of what? They never alleged any injustices.

[M.W.]

Of course, he didn't fabricate it. But there's about a 99.99% chance the person who did it was one of the protesting students.

[Kermit]

I don't doubt that he was a lone nut(Latin Kings crown tat in the middle of his face is a bit abnormal for just a regular guy, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had gang member ties)

My point was the residents and media were so quick to blame it on white people.

Poor choice of words, should have used coercion. On the contrary, I welcome debate and freedom of expression. Apparently you aren't paying very close attention to what is going on at some of these colleges and universities. A handful of students and faculty are the ones trying to shut people up. Lots of hypocrisy everywhere.

Well that happens all the time, profiling. Not the first time Ive seen it with churches burned, sniper attacks, molestation.

[recon1]

Of course i don't think the cops "fabricated" the fecal Swastika, i'm aware people are crazy. Does the actions of crazy people upset you? If anything a fecal swastika would be a shot at the people who like the swastika thing, would it not? Cotton balls? what does cotton balls have to do with anything?
I went through a class once on how to deal with crazy people and i remember instructor saying; if the actions of a crazy person upset you, you to may be crazy.
I would bet everything i have this will come out as the work of anarchist, it usually is.

Again this is what is causing the issues? that's it?

[Kermit]

Like the DC Sniper? I remember everyone being quite shocked when it turned out to be a black man.

We can go back and forth on this subject all day. In fact I can post dozens and dozens of fake racist stories that black people have got caught lying about in order to gain something.

Here is a 16 year old that got caught sending racist messages to himself to gain support when he was running for class president.

[Kermit]

I have to be honest, my main issue with this whole college ordeal is the fact that we have men and women in their mid 20's crying over having their feelings hurt.

What the fukk are they going to do when they finally get out of college and have to deal with the real world?

Well, one thing is for sure, we know that money bags hunger strike guy will be just fine.

By the way, did you know that he signed a form ordering that his body not be resuscitated if it shut down from the hunger strike? Talk about a drama queen.

[unde0087]

How will America ever overcome the horrors that have occurred at Mizzu? Only time will tell, all we can say for sure is the whole country may never recover within our lifetime.

My take on it is the same. You go to college to party and learn your area of study in order to get a job after. All of this nonsense is not needed. What happens when they graduate and start a job and miss a deadline and get called out for it, they cannot ask for a safe space to reflect on why they didn't do their job on time. Time to grow up.

Side note on the hunger strike guy, others are saying now that know him, he didn't lose any weight whatsoever over the week he supposedly did not eat. And friends said that up until the day the President and school officials went to meet with him when he was 'dying in front of them in the bed', he was alone in his room most of the time tweeting and making calls. That doesn't sound like the actions of a man on his deathbed from starvation. I could be wrong, but it just all seems a bit choreographed now that we know the people involved and his family status and connections. I think the university got played on this one.

Thats the truth. Was reading this on the John. Had to check out my work and see the turd. It was a nice beautiful long one. Almost took a picture

[Mr KLC]

These kids don't have a clue. I'm glad my first kid did not go to college.

[pronk]

How? National Guard shall set Missoubabwe legal aliens straight.

[recon1]

ok, i think i found the reason(s) behind the Missouri shenanigans in a movie from the 80's.

I'll set the narrative, one white man (Spicolli) and his black friend (forget his name) are both liberal burnouts and they false flagged a football players car by destroying it and made it seem like an opposing team did it. The results of game may be what's about to happen to BYU when they play Missouri this weekend.

Love that movie. Gotta get my DVD out now, and watch the whole thing. Jennifer Jason Leigh had some rocking back then.
