Oh, FFS: Tonight Show Parody Video of Obama Kicking Down a Door After a Press Conference is Now the Subject of a Racial Grievance Complaint at a University
— Ace

"Free speech," for some definitions of free.

A student included this gif of Obama kicking down the door as a visual punchline in a listserv complaint about midterms -- that is, he used Obama kicking down the door as an exclamation point to indicate his own frustration over studying for midterms.

So, of course, he was accused of committing a "racial microaggression" and, after being put through "the process" for adjudging his guilt, he has apologized for being a racial microagressor:

“The email in question contained the phrase “Honestly midterms get out of here” followed by a URL leading to a .GIF image of President Obama violently kick a door and storming out of a room following a press conference. The inclusion of the .GIF image was intended to bring a humorous tone to the email and use President Obama’s frustration with the press conference in question to mimic the frustration students feel when confronted with midterm examinations. Despite the innocent intentions influencing my decision to use this particular image, I have come to recognize the negative implications of adding the .GIF image within this given context.

(Â…)

Oppression, as outlined in SSMU’s Equity Policy, means the exercise of power by a group of people over another group of people with specific consideration of cultural, historical and living legacies. The image in question was an extension of the cultural, historical and living legacy surrounding people of color—particularly young men—being portrayed as violent in contemporary culture and media. By using this particular image of President Obama, I unknowingly perpetuated this living legacy and subsequently allowed a medium of SSMU’s communication to become the site of a microaggression; for this, I am deeply sorry.”

Good God Almighty.

1 by the way, this is a day off (or half day off), so please keep comments about the actual topic, which is weaponized political correctness. I don't want to see this thread turn into general racial grievances. I don't want to sit on the thread and patrol it to see who's decided to make life a problem for me today. And if that happens, because i want my time off, and I do not feel like babysitting a thread all day, offenders can expect a rapid banning for a week or two.

7 This is the perfect situation for the non-apology apology, e.g. "I'm sorry you're such a moron that you can't see how frustrated I am with your simpering, neo-troglodyte behavior, you misfortunate gimp."

This crap will continue as long as people continue to roll-over to such demands to apologize.

In fact, the fact that you forced me to use the term "blackout" to describe your racist blackout is, itself, racist.

47 Obama, with a white mom and foreign born father, is not part of the American black heritage. He lacks any "slave blood," and as such cannot embody the oppressed American black man any more than a very tan Mexican. The stereotype of violence and rage, which is the central grievance of the University, is misplaced... It only makes sense because to the dim yet race obsessed school administrators, "those blacks all look alike."

Beat me to it.  Ironic that those who consider themselves the pinnacle of intellectualism are so blind to the obvious.  College students are little better than indentured servants, since the university has them by short hairs, and is absolutely going to insist on getting its way. 

Online degrees and the elimination of tenure can't happen fast enough.  Unfortunately, McGill is probably Canada's best university, so they'll be able to pull this crap for quite awhile longer.

The problem as I have said before is one person says x, one says x+1, the next says x+2, and pretty soon it's a competition, and now we're at x+50 and it's getting ugly and I have to pull the thread. it's a general embarrassment for the site when this happens, and it's specifically an embarrassment for me.

I was at a facility recently where an individual was stuck in snow in a parking spot. I happened to have a shovel in the back of my vehicle. I noticed he was mere inches from the car next to him. I shoveled out his front tires and indicated he should move forward very straight, very slowly. He gunned the engine, turned the car hard and pushed in the fender of the car. I reported the incident, after being asked to, and very carefully did not mention the particular level of melamine in the reckless driver. Long story short, the individual in question denied hitting the car. A guy driving a $40,000 truck couldn't/wouldn't accept responsibility for causing $500 damage. *shakes head and looks at clock, hoping it says 5:00 pm soon*

They bring a knife, we bring a FAE.

Ruin the lives of the people who complained about the picture (if they said "black" or "AA", *that* is racist!  Logic?  F' logic.  Because...racism!).  Find their families, accuse them of racism too.  Anyone they've done business with. Yadda.

The only problem is getting in power to implement a scheme.  Until we control the schools, media, etc, it's a circle jerk fanasy/firing squad.

But it's also like a bluff.  They can't do too much if you don't let them.  Even without power, we can shut someone down by repeating, unwaveringly and forever, that they are a racist.  Their big lie tactics against them.  Just don't blink first!

114 What precisely the fuck is a "micro-aggression?"

Any time you don't treat a minority in exactly the same way you would treat a person of the majority, you're committing micro-aggressions.  It's pseudo-scientific bunk for many reasons, including the fact that you're assuming a hypothetical counter-factual in each instance.  Eye contact is one example I've already given.  Other examples are things like your body position, if you stand in a more guarded closed way when you're near a minority, that's a "micro-aggression".

Communists have always been big on self-criticism sessions, where a person would stand up in party meetings and confess to having counter-revolutionary thoughts or for not doing his or her job with enough zeal or whatever. The important thing is that whatever is being confessed, big or small, must be sincere. Those Soviet show trials? All of those poor tortured bastards confessing their crimes and apologizing to Comrade Stalin? Those men and women were sincere.  Some of the most inspired passages in Orwell's '1984' were derived from Red show trials and self-criticism sessions.

 

I see the practice has evolved somewhat.

147 What Do Microaggressions Look Like?[ While microaggressions are generally discussed from the perspective of race and racism any marginalized group in our society may become targets: people of color, women, LGBT persons, those with disabilities, religious minorities, and so on. Some sample microaggressions and their hidden meanings are given below. Racial Microaggressions: • A White man or woman clutches their purse or checks their wallet as a Black or Latino man approaches or passes them. (Hidden message: You and your group are criminals.). • An Asian American, born and raised in the United States, is complimented for speaking "good English." (Hidden message: You are not a true American. You are a perpetual foreigner in your own country.) • A Black couple is seated at a table in the restaurant next to the kitchen despite there being other empty and more desirable tables located at the front. (Hidden message: You are a second-class citizen and undeserving of first-class treatment.)[/i] Be aware of your surroundings and cross the street to avoid the band of youths - guilty of microaggression.

So if you want to major in an engineering related subject go to a two year community college to get all of those "social" classes and non-electives like entry level math. (make sure credits will transfer first)


Then transfer your credits to the 4 year college to get the big stuff related to your degree.

Oh. Wait. Pardon me. There has been a minor error.

A disabled vet *was* assaulted in public by a mob of teens chanting racial epithets. Except the victim was white and the assailants were black.

I'm not sure where the argument comes from, but I suspect it's to distinguish a  single incident of racial naughtiness from all the incidents of racial naughtiness that come from being part  of a racist society.

In other words, if I say mean things to you, because I am one color, and you are another, and I do not have the backing of some pre-established  majority institution, I'm committing a micro-agression.

If I, as a duly appointed member of the majority, use my standing in said majority institution, commit some crime of meanness toward you, a person of color, I am committing some sort of macro-agression.  Like if I deny you a seat on a bus, as a bus driver, I'm part of the institution of Big Bus.  As opposed to being part of the institution of  just me.

Trigger warning!:

At their bi-weekly Legislative Council meeting, the StudentsÂ’ Society of McGill University (SSMU)  got into a heated debate over the only motion of the night, one that proposed banning the song “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke from the Shatner building, including Gerts.

The popular song has been widely banned for promoting rape and propagating misogyny, especially through the repetition of lines such as “I know you want it” and others more explicit. The motion is not without precedent, either – several universities across the UK have banned the song from their own student union buildings.

“[This song] violates the whole idea of safe space. It’s an example of exactly what we should not accept at McGill,” said Sarah Southey, Science Undergraduate Society (SUS) Representative and one of the movers. She continued, “It’s being played five times a night at Gerts.”

VP University Affairs Joey Shea brought up concerns that the song may act as a trigger for sexual assault survivors, especially given the proximity of Gerts to the Sexual Assault Centre of the McGill StudentsÂ’ Society in the Shatner building basement.

After an hour and a half of fierce debate, the motion failed, with 7 votes in favour, 8 against, and 11 abstentions.

218 "There is one solution to this kind of crap at US colleges. The PC crap largely comes from professors who teach the more liberal subjects that are requirement for a degree outside of your major. So if you want to major in an engineering related subject go to a two year community college to get all of those 'social' classes and non-electives like entry level math. (make sure credits will transfer first)"

The local community college here in our part of the SF Bay Area mail out their (flipping huge) course catalog every six months to every household in the catchment area.

It doesn't take much perusing of the course offerings to realize that the "long march through the institutions" infected the Commiefornia community college system a LONG time ago. Going to such a two-year campus here is no guarantee whatsoever of avoiding left-wing politically correct insanity.

It's also frankly sad to see subjects which I remember as having been early high school level offerings such as Algebra I having to be offered remedially to "college" students, and from the number of sections thus offered in the catalog, it's clear that damn near all of the incoming students are having to thus bone up on things they should already have been taught.

Of course, these students came up through the same system that teaches elementary school kids about how _Heather Has Two Mommies_ before it teaches them about adding two plus two.

The normal reaction to this sort of stuff has been short circuited by the ObamaMedia.

We are a small minority that pays attention to this sort of stuff. Normal people have lives. They only see what shows up on the tube for comment.

Thus the reasoning for Ezra Klein's Journolist. He knew the American people weren't paying attention to a wide enough spectrum of information and thus could frame events the way they wished to by using only a few key outlets.

They have twisted the country into a knot and soon the only way it will be able to be released will be with violence. (could be either side)

This applies more to academia than other areas because it's also a liberal bubble that's been twisted and torgued to where black == white and good == bad because when you start lying about fundamental facts and ignore anything to the contray you begin to lie to yourself which is always destructive.

224 This is about speech control, and ultimately, thought control. You see, you can be guilty of "H8 speech" even if what you say is not racist, and your intent is proven to not be "consiously" racist. You see, it is racist because someone else wants to think that it is racist. Thus, anything you say can and will be considered racist. This creates fear, and through fear they control you. The only way to escape is to blindly repeat the pre-approved doubleplus good terminology and beliefs. Thus, they control you. It is, and always has been, about control.

242 Progressives are creating a culture, and we are looking at the middle game. The entire point is to create a society where people refuse to even think in a certain way. You reinforce this idea by hammering down the nails that pop up constantly. The goal is not just to combat racism, but to brand entire schools of thought as racist. You keep expanding the definition to a point where it covers everything you oppose. However, the point is not to punish specific people. This poor schlub is not their target. He is merely part of the oppressive whole they are trying to weave together. Their goal is to make it so that someone will start to say something and then stay silent. To get people to censor themselves. If they can get the people to do your work for you and self censor, then there will be fewer and fewer opponents of their ideology who are willing to even say anything. To use a bad analogy, it is the reverse of teaching a man to fish. You can censor one guy and destroy the man, but if you can teach everyone to self-censor, you can destroy entire movements.

Once that fallacy is embedded, there is no end to the mischief of bad lawyering, bad language and sloppy thinking. Think outsourcing a free society to whatever 5 of 9 Justices think on a given day.

"On October 20, 1873, representatives from Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and Rutgers met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York City to codify the first set of intercollegiate football rules. Before this meeting, each school had its own set of rules and games were usually played using the home team's own particular code. At this meeting, a list of rules, based more on soccer than on rugby, was drawn up for intercollegiate football games.[6]

Harvard, which played the "Boston game", a version of football that allowed carrying, refused to attend this rules conference and continued to play under its own code. While Harvard's voluntary absence from the meeting made it hard for them to schedule games against other American universities, it agreed to a challenge to play McGill University, from Montreal, in a two-game series. The McGill team traveled to Cambridge to meet Harvard. On May 14, 1874, the first game, played under "Boston" rules, with a round ball, was won by Harvard with a score of 3–0. The next day, the two teams played under "McGill" rules, with an oblong ball, to a scoreless tie.[6] This series of games represents an important milestone in the development of the modern game of American football.[10]

317 Think it couldn't get any sillier? Thnk again. Microassaults: Conscious and intentional actions or slurs, such as using racial epithets, or deliberately serving a white person before a person of color in a restaurant. Microinsults: Verbal and nonverbal communications that subtly convey rudeness and insensitivity and demean a person's racial heritage or identity. An example is an employee who asks a colleague of color how she got her job, implying she may have landed it through an affirmative action or quota system. Microinvalidations: Communications that subtly exclude, negate or nullify the thoughts, feelings or of a person of color. For instance, caucasion people often ask Asian-Americans where they were born, conveying the message that they are perpetual foreigners in their own land.

Thus the constant apologies and backtracks.

So although I can understand their position, I don't have much respect or get too upset by their capitulation to being bullied.

How many times does the public have to applaud someone for standing up to this stuff (and they do) for those caught up in this sort of thing to realize that capitulation doesn't gain them anything.

The only ones really hurt are those who have no public imprint and don't have an article written about their plight that goes viral.

But even they could turn things around by standing up for what's right. They don't see the worth and so it continues.

Bullies will continue bullying until someone knocks them down.

336 114 What precisely the fuck is a "micro-aggression?" Any time you don't treat a minority in exactly the same way you would treat a person of the majority, you're committing micro-aggressions. It's pseudo-scientific bunk for many reasons, including the fact that you're assuming a hypothetical counter-factual in each instance. Eye contact is one example I've already given. Other examples are things like your body position, if you stand in a more guarded closed way when you're near a minority, that's a "micro-aggression".

In other words...Bullying is okay, if it is being done by an approved group.

 

When Unions bully people -- it's okay. They are an approved group.

 

When the EPA or IRS bully people -- it's okay. They are an approved group.

Life is full of aggression and kilo-aggression, and that assumes a normal civilian job and not the military where you have to deal with mega aggression. Instead they are teaching them to identify and be crumpled by nonsense. The only place they will be prepared for is grad school, or a gov. job where they have whole departments full of people like this wasting time. related, a Brisbane BoysÂ’ College coach was fired after telling the boys, who has a history of twirling their wangas, not to twirl their wangas (google it, i am too lazy for tinyurl)

Of course, what is considered oppression these days has nothing to do with the act and everything to do with an involved person's immutable characteristics.

I'm confused... .yes I get that as a "white male" I have more power than most people because of the mystical power of my whiteness. But I was never aware my amazing power of white man whiteness made me more powerful than the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! I mean, did I miss a lesson growing up? Does being white come with some SuperHero/X-Factor/mutant powers I missed? Can I teleport, or read minds, or leap tall buildings with a single bound? How did I miss knowing this all my life? I think my whiteness powers are deactivated... do I still have to act like I'm the Super-Amazing-White-Man-Hero (or I suppose VILLAIN) without the amazing super powers? If I have to have "great responsibilities" I damn well want the "great powers" that are supposed to indicate the need for them.

524 It's easy to be brave when your future isn't at stake.

Which is not to say our future isn't at stake, but it's less obvious and more diffuse. 

And that's why there is such animosity from the New Slavers and the Newly Enslaved toward those of us who escaped the indoctrination.

I like that phrasing.

527 Serously, we had posts about how complaining about things like this are bad politics and supposedly cost "us" elections. Now they're all outraged when some kid took their advice and knuckled under?

This place should be called BiPolar HQ.



???  Who posted that complaining about things like this is bad politics and cost us elections.  Be specific.

529 And don't ever forget that many of these idiots in Academia's co graduates are now in business.

Which is why there's so much money these days in liberal make work projects and other assorted sinecures for the stupid.

They also feel so guilty about making money that they cave quickly to their brothers in liberalism so they can feel sufficiently martyred for their avarice.

Or say like Zuckerberg and other hi tech low grade fellow travelers who lead the charge.

531 I'm thinking that I stick around a bit longer I'll cross the line. So by re-reading that, I'll wait until the ONT. microagression...its Canada and all but don't those administrators have something better to do. Fill out a grant application or go binge drinking...something. Posted by: rich@gmu at February 17, 2014 05:13 PM (ga+7c) I'll try to remember to look for it.

532 Thought for the day: "The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." — Theodore Roosevelt

I am not 'blaming' the kid.  I realize its tough to look so far in the future at that age.  I think its his previous education in submission.  I don't think our fathers or ourselves would have put up with something so fascist at that age.

It's true.  Plus it's really hard to stand up on the top bunk unless you have really high ceilings.

Boston reporting "sucker punch" in lieu of "knockout" game.  Not as microagressive to the delicate ear.

549 It's nice to see the education system is instilling the proper respect for our multiracial President. Racism of any sort cannot be tolerated or it will become a lifelong bad habit. This will then promote right-wing hate and incorrect thinking. Eventually "conservatism" will be bred and educated out of existence.

556 An good example of why I have this increasing sense that I woke up and found myself transported to another country, another time or an alien planet. The sources behind what appears to be such rapid change, during the past decade, maneuvered themselves into strategic positions of influence over many decades, and waited. I visualize a huge amount of snow that accumulated silently; high up, and out of visual range of the unsuspecting town below. The eventual avalanche was rapid due to the its growing weight finally letting go and sweeping down with destructive force. So ride it out, dig your way free, and set up a better alarm system. And never allow ourselves to be deceived by their calls for compromise again. Root them out; root and branch, or the weeds will take over the farm.
