It's not my fault you haven't been paying attention to the news and events over recent years and would rather spend your time watching SpongeBob re-runs. Just because I put the focus on and brought up one event, that doesn't mean that there are no other events similar or even quite worse than this, and I'm sure there have been plenty of other complaints about professors being racist that are not accurate or were misinterpreted by the student. Take for instance, Evergreen College, where a riot happened because students were upset a Jewish professor, Bret Weinstein, refused to leave school on what these woke racist fascist students were calling a day without white people. Very much in the spirit of equality, I know, right? These woke POS students also held administrators hostage, all in the name of wokeness https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9252
There might be other similar incidents, but this is far from the standard treatment and regardless of how many there are, they don't erase what was done in the past, nor do they balance out current injustices that people ignore.
If you want to discuss the validity and/or danger of woke culture or cancel culture, then please do so on another thread. But coming on this thread and claiming that all of the oppression of blacks in this country is now invalid because some black students got this one professor fired for saying something wrong, that's just the height of ignorance. One injustice doesn't erase another. So just stop pretending it does. A reasonable person would understand this.
Quote:My point was, that these things need to be nipped in the bud before this type of thing gets out of control and becomes more commonplace. Give these people a reality check rather than giving into their demands.
You did not make that point. All you did was equate one injustice with another and claim that CRT was bullshit because of this new injustice. You weren't even trying to bring up a different issue and make an argument about what should be done. IF you want to do that, be my guest, but stop pretending you had another point to make when you clearly didn't.

I agree, no one in their right mind would want things to be going the way that you think they are - but you're not in your right mind and things aren't going that way. So, relief!
