Another stretch to be offended, like with shoe nooses and banana peels in trees.

It seems to be working both ways. Kids coming into college are both being molded by the leftist environment already there and driving it toward new extremes. You might think they would rebel against the old radicals and move away from the left but there doesn't seem to be much of that happening. Who knows how far it might go.

I went to UCLA. It's a public school. The tuition at USC, a private school, was 5x as much. Ironically UCLA bordered Beverly Hills while USC bordered a black ghetto.

Keep getting crazier and make everything as chaotic as possible. The leftist manifesto calls for attacks on everything traditional, moral, religious, etc.
This is just an extension of it.

I think this group of MBA candidates should be publicly identified so that none of them can ever, EVER get a job in the business world. Clearly, if your feelings and mental health are so fragile, you do not have the wherewithal to conduct business in the adult world.

The leftist manifesto is freedom from holier than thou hypocrites telling people what to believe, what rules to follow, who is better than who, while they do everything and anything behind the scenes to satisfy their own power and wealth and lust. I think Jesus encountered them in the temple and upturned their money changing tables a couple of thousand years ago. Of course he was crucified by the holier than thou establishment. Nothing new. Andrew Dice Clay said that if Jesus had lived and been executed in the 20th century, Christians in the future would be wearing golden electric chairs on a chain around their necks.

I'm guessing the pronunciation of those (they likely have different pronunciations) sound little like the N word - but they were looking to be offended as so many people do.

Using your argument, no professor should ever reference the Niger river or Nigeria because....close enough.
Context and repetition. The fact that the professor stopped the recording shows that he knew he was about to open a can of worms and did it anyway.

Stupid should hurt.

Of course you think he did it deliberately. In your world, everyone is guilty and has nefarious intentions.

TERRORISM - The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.

GOAL - "special treatment" (racism) for blacks, so they don't have to comply, work hard, study, nor improve themselves, while demanding to be supported by others.
