Its dumb. Duh.
Someone already said it above, but this is the definition of racism and he probably isn’t even self aware enough to realize it. Kind of upsetting this guy was apparently in some sort of leadership role in a young democrat group at the university lol.
It's the truth.
This is America. You can say it's not but ask any black person especially in the south.this is how it is.
Violence makes things worse and being hateful doesn't help you solve any problems. UGA released a statement yesterday that they are exploring legal options regarding the TA because it's a tricky situation. UGA is a government institution so they can't fire people based on speech made in a private capacity (even hate speech is constitutionally protected). For him to be fired someone would have to report an incident that occurred while he was performing his duties as a TA or as a Grad student. The OEO would investigate and determine if he violated equal opportunity rules and administer punishment. I'm not sure what the other legal options could be. Maybe the comments are so egregious they can't possibly expect him to treat white students equally but Idk how that works legally.
Those may be examples of how some people perceive things, but it doesnt mean a majority hold those views. Asking a black person if that is true doesnt make it so. There are probably more black people who think white people think that way than actual white people who really do think that way. As a result, blacks tend to keep themselves segregated for no reason and live with anger they have self imposed on themselves.
You cant be prejudice against white people? That’s a really sad statement. Show love and it will usually be returned.
Just so we are clear, are you using this anecdotal chart to support the TAs position?
I’m thinking he’s trying to do a slight of hand. He’s trying to act a fool on the board hoping we don’t notice the much more important fool at the university?
Kind of like a “Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain!” Wizard of Oz type thing.
If he were white and said the same thing in reverse it would be called hate speech and he would lose his job if he owned an NFL team the league would take his team away if he was an actor they would kick him out of Hollywood if was a public speaker he would not be allowed within 10 miles of a college campus
I disagree. Anyone smoking weed" =****, Girls Gone Wild = ****, Anyone who can't find A job= lazy because there are a ton of them available, Anyone torching cop cars = thugs and Savages, most folks in Corporate Powerful positions= connected (regardless of color). But I do tend to be a little conservative.
Are you kidding?we're the ones who live this life.look at the NFL coaching hires.5 black coaches and not 1 black hired.Mia fired their coach and the next week he's the jets coach.qhen was the last time a white coach got fired after 1 or 2 seasons? Den. and Az just dis it to 2 blacks.how many black HC are in the Sec? It is what it is.
Yeah, in all seriousness, I didn't bother clicking on the link or engaging in the conversation because of this.
Way off topic.
I took it as a joke.
Yeah, I wondered if that might be the case. There was no way to know without context, and I didn't want to be disappointed. So I didn't read the article, still haven't, and based on this thread, I don't think I will.
There are a lot of good threads on this site and a lot of good posters. I'm trying to learn how to avoid the rabbit holes, jabberwockies and jubjub birds.
