Triggered by Banana Peel

Color me unimpressed. You're still refusing to think that any opinion other than your own has any validity.

Untrue. I think there can be a variety of opinions about the meaning of any given symbol. The racist message could be a valid interpretation, and might even be the correct one, but the means of expression was so vague and ambiguous that we cannot even say with certainty that it was a message at all, much less have any definitive interpretation. You are the one insisting that there is only one possible interpretation whereas I am saying that out of a field of many possible highly speculative interpretations they chose the most threatening one. Then based on their threatening interpretation of an obscure symbol that might not even have been a symbol they radically changed their plans. The way I see it, the students really aren't to blame for their overreaction to the real-life equivalent of Bevis and Butthead. That's what we've come to expect from college-age adults because leftists have spent years telling children ghost stories about racism and now they lie awake all night in fear of KKK boogeymen. That's the real context.

I'm not denying that there are racially motivated violent criminals. There are. Are their neo-Nazi's? Of course. Are they an existential threat to the USA? Hardly. They are marginalized fringe groups with zero influence. The only power they will ever have will be from paying them any attention and letting them distract us from real threats.

That is not even close to what the article said happened.
Due to what might have been a threatening message, doesnt even matter in the end if it was or not, there was a discussion.
The discussion was abou race, tension, how images are percieved, etc. It was not all about the frigging banana peel, but about how they feel, in general, as black students.
The discussion got emotional, and they eventually decided to leave.

The banana perl triggered a discussion about racial threats and tension and feelings. The discussion, which became very emotional for many students, not just the black ones the article states, was the impetus of the leaving, not the banana peel alone, or even the prior incident involving banana lynching effigies.

It's not even a small difference. It's like you keep intentionally misrepresenting the whole story to make it look more absurd than it really is.

As to your last comment, get your head out of the freaking sand. That is, 100%, a white privilaged thing to say. You who want muslims out for the small percent who are violent, think neo nazis arent a threat when they literally killed an innocent protester one week ago. Do you eat irony for breakfast, to be so full of it?
