[BreitbartCA] Occidental College student Alton Luke II–who is black–says he has been ostracized by former friends and was attacked via social media as “trash” this past week for cutting ties with the black student movement on campus.
Luke says the treatment he is receiving is the same treatment he has seen heaped on others with different views and he just does not want to be part of it. In fact, he indicated that the “hostility of some protesters toward those with different views is a major reason he is not supporting their current uprising.”
And according to the Los Angeles Times, Luke is by no means alone. Brown University professor Glenn Loury–who is also black–says he is “appalled” by racial protesters’ allegation of “endemic racism” on Brown’s campus. Loury said he has been “lavished with university resources for his [academic] work and well treated by open-minded colleagues.” Read More
Apologists for this BLM movement sound like bigger morons than they already are; Geraldo and Juan Williams for starters.
I also saw part of a TV commercial where there’s a one night concert extravaganza featuring John X Legend and others.
This is obvious BS and an attack on First Ammendment freedom. Regardless of race, whoever supports this needs some good ol’ fashioned ridiculing.
That John Legend TV special already happened. Bruce Springsteen was involved too. http://www.freep.com/story/life/tv/2015/11/20/john-legend-shining-a-light-special-on-race/76035400/
The silent majority speaks out for freedom of speech. Maybe it will catch on.
One good thing for this guy Alton, he’ll know who his real friends are now. I hope he goes far in life, but he’ll also get the leftist “Uncle Tom” and “Not Black enough” treatment if he becomes successful.
It’s easier to follow the herd … that’s why there’s a herd, actually.
Humans aren’t supposed to be herd animals, and certainly not Americans, but somewhere over the past 100 years we seem to have forgotten that. Probably has something to do with the union/bureaucratic control of education.
I hope he’s made of stern enough stuff to weather the storm.
My hat’s off to him. He stood up, grew up and took notice of the wind’s direction.
Here’s an idea – – When you’re driving and see a black person yell “Black Lives Matter” out the window. The more white people do this the more they’re likely to abandon that slogan.
