COLLEGE PRESIDENT APOLOGIZES FOR “ALL LIVES MATTER” COMMENT

By FITSNEWS || We’ve already weighed in on the manufactured, misplaced outrage flowing from Ferguson, Missouri following the August shooting of robbery suspect Michael Brown.

Our view?  Quoting James Howard Kunstler, we believe Brown is a “poor candidate for martyrdom.”  And his death, while tragic, represents a ridiculous effort by racial agitators and left-leaning (ratings-starved) media outlets to foment discord, thus drawing attention away from the real enemy of blacks (and whites) in this country.

Anyway … America’s impressionable youth have bought into the drama hook, line and sinker.  Which is why college campuses across the country have erupted in protests of a Missouri grand jury’s decision not to indict white police officer Darren Wilson of a crime in the aftermath of Brown’s shooting.

One campus beset by protest?  Smith College – a private women’s school in Massachusetts that’s working overtime to put the “liberal” into liberal arts.

There, according to emails obtained by Campus Reform‘s Kaitlyn Schallhorn, college president Kathleen McCartney joined the chorus of contrived anger over Ferguson.

“We gather in vigil, we raise our voices in protest; yet we wake again to news of violence that reminds us, painfully, of the stark reality of racial injustice,” McCartney wrote in an email to her student body.

McCartney also announced plans to create a new office of diversity at the school – vowing to “teach, learn and share what we know” and to “work for equity and justice.”

Of course McCartney’s weeping and gnashing of teeth wasn’t sufficient to sate the politically correct legions.  In fact the subject line of her mail – “All Lives Matter” – sparked outrage.

“No, Kathy. Please do not send out an email saying ‘All lives matter.’ This isn’t about everyone, this is about black lives,” one Smith student tweeted.

“Black lives can’t be central to the conversation if the word black isn’t even in the title,” another wrote.

Wow … and there you have it.

Did McCartney bow to this nonsense?  Of course she did … less than six hours after her original email was sent to students, she sent another missive apologizing for her choice of words.

Unreal.

Political correctness has come full circle in this country, people …

Manufactured outrage by guilt-ridden white college profs. Get a life. That goes for English Department Professors Ashton and Lauro over at Clemson too. If you want to shame someone, look in a mirror.

Manufactured outrage is all the conservatives have to live on. It’s all you respond to. Police are killing unarmed people almost daily in America. That’s a documented fact. Ebola, immigrants, women, Bengahzi, ISIS, taking away guns, socialism, healthcare, marriage equality, etc : all manufactured outrage propagated by conservatives. Now, because people are organizing real actual protests in the streets (something conservatives can’t seem to do) you old farts are getting scared. You guys are becoming a minority and its scares you, because of how you’ve viewed and treated minorties for centuries. Not all people are bigots who fear others. Relax.

Don’t blow a gasket, Mistah Lawrence.

You’re way off the beam here. Never in my life have I ever disparaged the Constitution of the United States of America. Nor do I have love for terrorists, of any stripe. But we remain a nation of law. Our law is decreed by the Constitution, and by the constitutions of the states. Due process is due process, it is not dependent on your interpretation or on mine. It is what it is. Why don’t you just say what you really believe, which is that you can subvert and ignore the Constitution at will, depending on what citizen you want to prosecute, and for what crime?

That’s the nut of it. You are willing to wipe your ass with the Constitution if it suits your purposes to do so. And claim the high moral ground for doing so. The depths of hypocrisy. You make yourself more of a buffoon with every comment you make on here.

Every survey, every study and every bit of research is a “scientific” statistical Bashing of the GOP South… And FITS is as ignorant as the next to crap all of the state that set him up in a cul-d-sac and gave his daddy and mama socialized medicine–so he could suck at the knee of a government largess savior named Sanford –while they decry that, that feeds their greed, and bloats their egos.

Graham is a neocon, an Internationalist, and a willing tool of the Military Industrial Complex and it’s greedy, malevolent war profiteers. He’s a major war pig, like McCain. NOTHING truly conservative about either of them.

Nikki Haley is all about using government to pick winners and losers in the marketplace, manipulating facts and figures to cover incompetence and corruption for herself and her appointed minions, selling out her own state for the sake of her national political ambitions, etc., etc. She’s whatever she needs to be to make Nikki look good, no matter what.

These are your paragons of conservative Republican values.

Maybe “fucking pitiful “but referring to them as ultra liberals is absurd .they both OPPOSE almost EVERY program proposed by REAL ultra liberals.

You don’t like Lindsay Graham ?Fine by me ,but don’t play SILLY ASS word games.Hes no “ultra liberal” but a mainstream Republican whose views coincide with MANY here who are labeled good “conservatives.”

And such is just as ridiculous as this silliness at Smith.

Please note that I did not call Graham or Haley “ultra liberals.” If Will did, that’s on him, I do not agree. I called them both exactly as I see them. You, on the other hand, suggest that they are “Right Wing Republicans”, and they are nothing of the sort.

So … which one of us is really playing the “SILLY ASS word games” here?

Reply
Fits Ain't No Republican December 9, 2014 at 7:30 pm

Oh certainly Graham and Haley are Right Wing Republicans.

Indeed Im sure they consider themselves such.Heck Graham was rated over 90% by the American Conservative Union ,sponsor of the well known Right Wing Talkathon CPAC.

I also find it odd that you believe,I presume, that Grahams hawkish views are not Right Wing.Almost every Right Winger I know shares those views.

Also, and somewhat amusingly,everyone’s favorite Right Winger hereabouts ,Gran Tango ,is a big fan of both Haley and Graham.I mean he wouldn’t be so toward some mushy headed “moderates” now would he?

Buz Martin December 10, 2014 at 5:08 am

If Grand Tango is the standard, conservatism is in a world of trouble.

Graham is certainly no fiscal conservative, since in his view no cost is too great for escalating or re-starting existing wars, or starting new ones. An approach that is not exactly anathema to Barack Obama — in case you haven’t noticed what he actually does, as opposed to what comes out of his mouth.

And I suppose Graham’s reputation for being someone the left can count on for support when they need it most is just something that somebody created out of whole cloth, that for some reason became the standard view of him expressed by the most of tea party orgs and virtually every other “grass roots patriot” group in the nation for the last 10 years or more.

As for the ACU, that’s just one organization. Sure, they sponsor a big, spashy event — at which Rand Paul is consistently a huge favorite among attendees. If the straw polls are any indication of the way conservatives are leaning. And I’d say they are.

Did you not notice the war that was waged against the senator by the far right in his last bid for re-election? The tea party did their best to take him down. That did not happen on the Bizzarro planet. It happened on this one.

None of these groups or movements appeal to me. Nor do most of the stridently leftist orgs. I’m looking at all this analytically, not from extreme bias, one way or another.

nitrat December 9, 2014 at 4:17 pm

FITS is Libertarian. Libertarians have been mounting a hostile takeover of the once GOP for years. They do that by attacking the Real Republicans as RINOs while the Libertarians pretend to be Republicans. That’s because the Libertarians know they can’t get elected dogcatcher running as a Libertarians.
If their actions are any indication, LIbertarians are gutless liars. But, like the Dominionists and Richard Nixon, the ends justify the means.

That’s just nuts. “All Lives Matter”, regardless of the content of her original pronouncement on the subject needed no defense. This is not leadership, an apology like that. It is knuckling under to pressure from people who have no idea what freedom is really all about.

This reminds me of how some “Movement” peeps get all bent out of shape if anyone calls abusive sex trafficking or sweat shops a form of slavery — or points out that American Indians were enslaved before Africans in this “New World.” ONLY the black experience matters to them. It’s one of the reasons people tune them out. It’s why, even though racism truly exists, the meaning of it has become debased.
