A favorite tactic of the left, this amounts to extortion. Mizzou, just a few years removed from being championed as a bastion of diversity having an openly gay player in LB Michael Sam, is now too racist to bear, claim the top protesters.
Please read the incidents involved, which we deem very weak as they currently are reported to substantiate the level of civil rights strife the protesters claim inflict the university.
Among the list of demands, as reported by the Independent Sentinel, was that President Wolfe must write an handwritten apology “acknowledging his white male privilege” and “recognize that systems of oppression exist.” They also want more social justice centers, more black staff to be hired by quota, more money for black causes, and the demands of the 1969 Black Collegians met. The Black Collegians are leftist advocates.
With the group referencing the admission of white privilege, we can confirm their relationship to other similar movements seeking the same results utilizing differing avenues of approach. White privilege has been code language for the social justice movement, which includes Black Lives Matter. This highly financed group is part of the agenda created to discredit churches, companies, agencies and organizations while creating divisions between classes through race, gender and economic status. BLM is really no different than Occupy Wall Street, just using another mechanism.
In addition, although this has not become present as of yet, admissions by churches, companies, agencies and organizations and/or leaders of such agencies and institutions open a door to significant legal ramifications, not just to those centrally involved, but to all citizens and taxpayers.
“Black Lives Matter hates the American system of government, i.e., the Constitution and capitalism,” says Rev. Jesse Lee Patterson, founder and president of the civil-rights organization BOND. Patterson says the movement associates the U.S. with “whiteness,” and, therefore, despises the very government that appears to be endorsing it.
This appears an attack on the institution, an effort to advance a social justice agenda under the limited if not false premise of racism. A very concerning precedent has now been formed, and similar instances seem likely to follow.
Quotations among those supporting the group at Mizzou claim the nation does not understand the racism and level of tension dealt with on a daily basis in the state of Missouri.
Funny, the nation did not witness any such activity in Kansas City last week, where 800k citizens, of all races, gender, creed, hairstyle, musical interests and favorite superhero came together to celebrate the Kansas City Royals World Series win.
Is the struggle real in Missouri, or is this just another orchestrated event to further divide our nation while making effort to advance progressive tenants of social justice?
Our answer is evident with what just happened in Kansas City.
On Saturday night, we will certainly be cheering for BYU! Go Cougs!
