QuoteOn the second day of unrest, the police chief called me. Rioters were stopping traffic and searching for someone car to car. The chief believed they were searching for me. She was worried for my safety and helpless to protect me, as the president had ordered her force to stand down. What would have transpired if the rioters had found me? I still don't know, and I strongly suspect they don't either.
Uh, why did you call it a "chimpout"?
Why wouldn't I? It was a bunch of people going feral en masse.
I actually visited Evergreen State College (the Seattle branch) years ago, as part of my job. At the time it was a Jr. College. I'm not sure of it's status right now. This particular branch was funded by industries like Boeing, Kenworth, MacDonalds, General Motors, and other heavyweights. It was geared toward teaching technical skills needed by various industries like aeronautical engineering, mechanics, machining, or running a beauty parlor. Industries also provided the material resources necessary, like a large airplane hangar with several planes including fighter jets, and a Boeing 747 engine tipped vertical like a V2 rocket. Students learned how to run a restaurant, put together a Kenworth logging truck, run a diagnostic on a new Cadillac, fix the electronics in a war plane, or anything useful to specific industries. I was impressed. I don't think Microsoft had settled in Seattle yet, but Evergreen provided instruction in computer engineering, which is probably archaic by now. It was about 40 years ago.
I know this kind of derails things, but I just had to mention it because it was the most interesting and innovative educational institution I've ever seen.
It doesn't derail things, leftards are agents of moral, intellectual, and economic decline.

Whew. The suspense was killing me.

Why call it a "chimpout" as opposed to calling it, say, a riot?
I just thought it was funnier.
I really don't know what you're looking for.
The irony is that the professors are indoctrinating the students with Marxist ideology and surprised when it is turned against them.
They are creating a monster who will devour anything in its path.
They are programmed to destroy. And they did it.
Congratulation professors. Job well done.
How to foment racism.

So they defied police, they didn't educate, they held students captive, and all in the name of what they think is progressive.
And in doing so created racism, segregation, and anarchy.
Tell us, oh progressive posters who frequent these forums, how do you interpret this? Tell us how this isn't racial segregation?
Because, as someone said in the first comment on the video, Martin Luther King would be rolling in his grave at this.
Fuck these 'teachers', Fuck black lives matter, And fuck anyone who goes along with this.

There wasn't enough information in this video.
A professor offended students.
Students protested.
Parents protested.
The president was accused of siding with the students.
Important details were not included. We have no knowledge that the professor or anyone else was a Marxist, and no idea what was offensive in what he said, if it was at all. It's one of those videos where you to see what you want to see.
The students have to pay 30-60 thousands of dollars or more for this. Money well spent.
They will continue to pay for decades for this.
4 years wasted to become a Marxist activist, BLM, Antifa, communists agitators.
Here is a written account of the incident from a different point of view. See if it triggers a reaction as much as the video. Then tear it apart if you want. While more detail and background is included, I would question the written account as much as I do the FOX news version. It's an emotional issue, so all sources should be viewed with skepticism. The media slants things not necessarily left or right, but to maximize the visceral response. We are all aware of that, but sometimes we still make snap judgments.
oops! Here's the source:

Nothing in that article justifies even .01% of what the rioters did. Holding administration hostage, searching car to car for Brett Weinstein, all over a polite disagreement with the Day of Absence and one guy feeling threatened by a black student in an email exchange. Oh, and sometimes they're asked to explain black stuff in class, which is draining. A fine reason to mob the faculty and hold them hostage and lots of other stuff.

Probably because he's zarus tathra
[mod]Orcus/zarus tathra, not sure why I didn't notice sooner, but I don't want you or any of your socks here. Thanks for being an idiot, I've been wanting to dust off my fancy new moderator button.
Reasons for ban:
Sock puppet account and racism.
Goodbye[/mod]
[mod]Oh yeah. I also banned your "emo samurai" sock account, you dumbass.[/mod]

I agree. It took me awhile to find a credible news source that did describe the riot. Violence and destruction of property is not acceptable.

Quote
Evergreen has been nursing the hangover since. At a campus forum, a shaken Evergreen President Les Purce told students that the college would pay the costs for the vehicles, and that campus concerts were banned until further notice.
I'm not sure why the college agreed to pay for damage to the vehicles. A peace offering to the mob, perhaps. Ordinarily, the perpetrators would be held responsible. But then I'm not really sure how that is usually dealt with.
Oops! Orcus is gone.
He was also emo samurai? Now THAT's a blast from the past.

Humans aren't chimps. Chimps are superior to monkeys. You are asking him to display a Confederate flag, right?

Or just own up to his true intentions. I'm pretty sure the chimpout expression was a carefully crafted expression implying black inferiority. I'm surprised that only Jason acknowledged it.

Got nothing on accusations of D or R!

A very good question that got a very dumb answer. LOL!
