TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Football => Topic started by: steve dave on June 27, 2020, 05:13:25 PM

Since there is now a coordinated movement by our athletes should probably post something here. Note that this will be the only post on the football (or any other sports) board for politics and solely for discussing this. If you want to be dicks go to the pit to do so. If you want to be racist pieces of crap go to any other KSU message board.
Happy the kids are taking a stand and fully support them crushing our sports programs if the school can't figure its crap out in a way that the kids agree is sufficient.

K-State Sports is doing this the right way. This will be an interesting next few months for the administration. So far I'm not impressed after the wimpy but expected statement that was released by Richard Myers this morning. This school needs to enact a policy of some sort that punishes hate speech and racism because frankly this is rough ridin' ridiculous.

Pretty great to see the balance of power shifting a bit to the players.

Yes it is. You are on the national stage, use your platform. It is so heart-warming to know the staff is behind them 100%

K-State has a very real opportunity to show, at a national level, that they aren't a bunch of hicks. They are almost guaranteed to eff that up, so the kids forcing their hand is absolutely needed.

Love these kids, good for them. The Bama BLM video was great too and honestly is the kind of thing that drives change.

What the athletes want is punishing a person for constitutionally protected speech.
This isn't going to end well.

You have a right to say nearly whatever you want and not be legally punished by a governmental body. However, it does not permit non-criminal repercussions from a private institution, or in this case, specific policy by a public institution. For instance, you can be removed and banned from a public library for vulgar or even loud discussion. That said, I dont think the university is likely to enact such a policy without major legal challenges, and it very well may lose that battle. If it went that far, they could claim social media creates a hostile environment due to sharing and spreading of that message. Ultimately, I think the outcry by the student body will be too much for this lad to bear....I doubt he will continue to attend K-State when classes resume in person.
-
Uh, what?
The first amendment prevents the government from dictating what folks can say outside a few exceptions - eg threats to others, yelling fire in filled room.
Hate speech, specifically, is protected.
Government policies that preclude free speech are unconstitutional.
This is such an obvious situation and it went completely over the student-athletes' heads.

Pretty rough ridin' stupid. They want a policy put in place to be able to dismiss a person from the university for being disrespectful. What a clown show.

Interestingly, the tweets that shitbag Jaden posted about George Floyd don’t violate any of those...

With context it's clearly intended to be racist. The context being what's going on in the world

I think it’s a slight stretch to call any joke about George Floyd a racist action. I think it’s a huge stretch to say that it is a racist action against a student or group of students
Jaden is clearly a racist, and only made the joke because he is, but the joke doesn’t even meet the standards set forth by the athletes. I hope KSU can find a way to fit rid of him, this ain’t it.
-
If KSU implements an anti-racism policy to expel this POS, I would donate significantly more than usual if the University ends up in a court battle over it. If there was ever a time to test free speech laws against anti racism policies, this is it.
The tweet itself IMO is just distasteful. But the fact it comes from a racist absolutely elevates it to a racist statement.
-
Stupid thing is, this dumbass k state kid tweeted a joke that was like a week old.
He just Must not be that bright,
Players are goin a tad overboard. But Mainstream Media & Educational Indoctrination has trained them to push harder and harder.
like where does this even end? Whats thier Utopia ?

Apparently twitter gave him a 12 hour timeout today

I disagree that it doesn't meet the standards but I can see where you're coming from if you nitpick the statement.
Regardless, they aren't asking that he's expelled, they're asking for a policy that lets anyone be expelled for racist speech.
-
That the players believe this [crass and stupid] twitter joke is racist is pretty illuminating as to the problems that come with the [inconstititional] speech ban they are proposing.

Shut up steffy.

I don't think anybody is on this guy's side. I'm all for adding verbiage to the kstate ethics code that specifically disallows racism. They could add that, and when him or his club says something racist, expel him/them. But I agree with others that the tweet in and of itself is not racist at all. He is a racist though, which is the argument that has merit. The tweet is only tasteless.
The problem isn't expelling this obvious POS, it's potentially ushering in McCarthyism, a power that could be abused in the future. This is an interesting case study to be honest. I hope they can find a way to get rid of him and legislate specific anti racism policies in the right way.

From what I understand he leads a white nationalist club and associates closely with "famous" white nationalist.

I said "from what I understand". His club's absolute values are not a hill I'm dying on. I haven't spoke with, or listened to, Nick Fuentes or Patrick Casey either. But both are widely reported as white nationalist. Jaden associates with both.
-
So you are comfortable calling him a racist by association with a club you know nothing about and people you know nothing about but his tweet making light of Lloyd’s murder isn’t racist?

I'm not walking to the corner you're trying to paint me in, bro. I didn't say I know nothing about them, but admit I have limited knowledge of them because I don't listen to that type of bullshit. You'll rarely see me say what other people feel unless they explicitly say so. In this case, I should have said "he's likely a racist". I'll stand by that. If you feel differently, that's fine but I don't care.

Seconded, cosign, etc.

the fact that so many people think that the tweet isn't racist because it doesn't use an explicit slur shows how smart and dangerous the kid is. If you read it without context, sure, it's not racist. But given that context exists, it's a clear signal both to alt-right folks across the country and to folks on campus that he's a racist and is gonna get away with it. I'm guessing many blacks and BLM supporters feel it's a threat, even if indirect, while the typical white Kansan is like "I don't see what the big deal is".
someone linked to his telegram page and I came across this (which he didn't actually type, it's kinda like a retweet), but it shows how he thinks:
(https://i.imgur.com/DXXruWo.png)
combine that with his interview with the news where people were protesting his event and he's like "we just want small government, ma'am", the suits, etc., it's clear these folks are trying to brand their racist group as something that isn't a bunch of redneck confederate flag racists that everyone pictures in their head. He might be getting a little more bold than he should (getting TOO much attention) but he can push buttons, get attention, and probably most dangerously, get a following from KSU students whose parents are on KSO defending him.

KSO members can relax. Football won’t be canceled because of all this.
When he first saw McNeil’s offensive tweet, Alexander said his initial reaction wasn’t nuanced.
“It was, ‘Yo, you gotta go. You gotta leave K-State,’” Alexander said.
Alexander’s views slowly have shifted.
“In talking with the president, talking with the student body, talking to educated people, they’re telling us about the First Amendment,” he said. “We’re all grown. We’re all mature. We know that he won’t leave. We know that he can’t get kicked out of Kansas State just for that. ... We’re mature enough to understand that he can’t get kicked out of Kansas State just for that comment. We’re just wanting (K-State) to say, ‘We don’t respect his point of view.’”

You can get expelled for sexual harassment, how is a policy.banning race based harassment any different? Like with Gundy and the OAN shirt, why are we making the assumption that their knowledge of this crap head is limited to the one tweet?
-
Harassment is an acceptable standard for expulsion, but so far all mentions to it i've seen have been of the "so I heard he also harassed and doxxed people" variety. Is there any actual proof other than rumor? (fwiw I think it's very likely that the harassment part is true)

It can easily be argued that his tweet was harassment (especially combined with his history)

Yeah, weird stance here. There are many examples of "jokes" that are considered harassment. You can't make a constitutional shelter out of something being a joke. If that were the case you could never justify harassment.

Also that wasn't in any way shape or form a joke. That's what his defenders are saying in retrospect. He very clearly meant that.

I'd guess the idea would be to expand the behavior to include things outside of that tweet as well.
Yes, and also to consider the environment we're in. If he'd made the same joke about someone like say, Prince, no one would have noticed. It was very targeted and part of a pattern.

You can interpret almost anything as a pattern. Incredibly short sighted precedence to set.
-
You can't just take EEOC guidance and apply it to private citizens outside of the employment context. Pertaining to private conduct, harassment means something akin to criminal harassment in order to not be protected speech. And if you surveyed First Amendment case law in the U.S., you would see that you can't harass anyone without directing your harassment at a specific individual. Merely "harassing" a group of people (Blacks, Jews, etc.) in an abstract sense is not harassment. Look up Brandenberg v. Ohio, Virginia v. Black (Ginsburg's opinion on cross burning), and Nat'l Socialist Party of Am. v. Village of Skokie. So-called "liberal" and "conservative" justices alike tend to be on the same page when it comes to freedom of expression.
On the other hand, despite language such as "students do not surrender their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate," it is a fact that the Supreme Court has endorsed limiting the constitutional rights of students when classroom conduct causes a "substantial disruption" to classroom learning. However, those cases all deal with high school and below. To my knowledge, it has never been applied at the university level, where professors enjoy almost unlimited academic freedom. College campuses have long been considered the classic "public forum" where ideas can be exchanged without fear of sanction or censure. "Viewpoint discrimination," i.e. policies that target the content of speech, is particularly suspect. Some helpful background reading: https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/991/campus-speech-codes
Any policy that could apply to this bonehead's tweet would almost certainly be unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, as the standard of review would be strict scrutiny, that is, the policy must be "narrowly tailored" to achieve a "compelling government interest." Narrow tailoring is a very high threshold, particularly in free speech law. The school will have to disclose who else it has punished under the policy (if anyone), and the student will point out thousands of rude, distasteful, disrespectful, harrassing etc. social media posts of other students and ask why the policy was not applied to them. The student will be able to make a pretty compelling case that he is being singled out and targeted merely for voicing an unpopular viewpoint (and one that wasn't directed towards anyone other than a dead man).
Some other perspectives:
John Stuart Mill, from On Liberty:
First, if any opinion is compelled to silence, that opinion may, for aught we can certainly know, be true. To deny this is to assume our own infallibility. Secondly, though the silenced opinion may be an error, it may, and very commonly does, contain a portion of truth; and since the general or prevailing opinion on any subject is rarely or never the whole truth, it is only by the collision of adverse opinions that the remainder of the truth has any chance of being supplied. Thirdly, even if the received opinion be not only true, but the whole truth; unless it is suffered to be, and actually is, vigorously and earnestly contested, it will, by most of those who receive it, be held in the manner of a prejudice, with little comprehension or feeling of its rational grounds
And Justices Brandeis and Holmes (Oliver Wendell) concurring in Whitney v. California:
Those who won our independence believed that the final end of the state was to make men free to develop their faculties, and that in its government the deliberative forces should prevail over the arbitrary. They valued liberty both as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty. They believed that freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth; that without free speech and assembly discussion would be futile; that with them, discussion affords ordinarily adequate protection against the dissemination of noxious doctrine; that the greatest menace to freedom is an inert people; that public discussion is a political duty; and that this should be a fundamental principle of the American government.
* * *
Believing in the power of reason as applied through public discussion, they eschewed silence coerced by law—the argument of force in its worst form. Recognizing the occasional tyrannies of governing majorities, they amended the Constitution so that free speech and assembly should be guaranteed.
Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppressions of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women**. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.
* * *
Those who won our independence by revolution were not cowards. They did not fear political change. They did not exalt order at the cost of liberty. To courageous, self reliant men, with confidence in the power of free and fearless reasoning applied through the processes of popular government, no danger flowing from speech can be deemed clear and present, unless the incidence of the evil apprehended is so imminent that it may befall before there is opportunity for full discussion. If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence. Only an emergency can justify repression. Such must be the rule if authority is to be reconciled with freedom. Such, in my opinion, is the command of the Constitution . . .

Is that not the takeaway? Surely individuals can feel threatened even if the language doesn’t single them out. If that’s true, I don’t see it supported from the standards you’ve laid out.
I don’t think the George Floyd tweet rises all the way to that level, but I can certainly understand why other black students would be extremely uncomfortable with a statement from a white ardent Trump supporter mocking a murdered black man.

He's already setting up his case. "If this policy is legit, why is it OK for these people to actually threaten a fellow student without being subjected to the same policy? Is it because you simply don't like what I had to say?"
@catastrophe, yes, individuals can feel threatened with being called out by name. I thought it was a crass, classless tweet, myself. But that is not enough to justify state action. Nor do I think any reasonable person would interpret it as a threat. The whole problem is that, if you're going to adopt a policy that purports to target this kind of speech, you either have to use it or you lose it. You can't apply it arbitrarily whenever you feel the University is getting bad press.
If a school wants to adopt (and keep) such a policy, it has to be uniformly applied. That, in and of itself, would be enough to give school administrators fits.
My guess would be that what ends up happening is the University has some strong words against this student but concludes that they can't justly expel him based on current campus policies, but they are in the process of rewriting those policies to address issues like this in the future.

Spracs I'm not a "law guy" but for the cases you've cited were those people accused of crimes or jailed? I don't think anyone is suggesting to take away his liberty. I, for one, would encourage him to enjoy educational opportunities somewhere else.
Is it bc KSU is a public institution?

Yes, KSU is a "state actor" for Constitutional purposes. Bear in mind that Constitutional rights only protect individuals from state action.
-
Pretty rough ridin' stupid. They want a policy put in place to be able to dismiss a person from the university for being disrespectful. What a clown show.
Just go beat up this individual piece of crap person who attends the university and said stuff on Twitter and move on.
easy for you to dismiss this guy as just being "disrespectful".
oddly enough, beating up this guy would CLEARLY be grounds for dismissal
No, I’m talking specifically about the statement from the athletes. “We are demanding that Kansas State University put a policy in place that allows a student to be dismissed for displaying racist, threatening or disrespectful actions toward a student or groups of students.”
You can get expelled for sexual harassment, how is a policy.banning race based harassment any different? Like with Gundy and the OAN shirt, why are we making the assumption that their knowledge of this crap head is limited to the one tweet?
I think a policy banning race based harassment could be a good one. I don’t think a policy banning disrespect, with penalty of expulsion, would be good in any circumstance.

Depending on how that new policy is written and enforced, and I'm guessing this is out of Spracs wheelhouse, how would the new policy also not be subject to a 1st amendment challenge?
Just be in a better position to hold up by having some precedent on campus for making students abide by it? I mean KSU would still be a state school and the constitution would still be there...
Policies that "discriminate on the basis of race" (e.g., affirmative action) are subject to the same standard of review ("strict scrutiny"), and yet several such policies have been found in the university context to be "narrowly tailored" to further a "compelling government interest," namely, diversity in higher education.
Affirmative action policies, just like campus speech codes, implicate constitutional rights, and thus have to be very carefully drafted and applied. But just because they affect constitutional rights does not mean that they are per se unconstitutional (Sometimes they are. For example, racial quotas are per se unconstitutional). It remains theoretically possible to narrowly tailor speech codes to advance a compelling government interest. And if there is one administrator who could narrowly tailor such a policy, who better than Gene Tailor?
While there hasn't been a case construing campus speech codes that has made it all the way to SCOTUS, a policy that was evenly applied would stand a better chance of passing constitutional muster. I would envision a system with progressively more severe sanctions based on clear criteria. First offense? Warning. Second offense? Notation on your permanent record. Third offense? Show cause hearing before student government body to demonstrate why you should not be publicly sanctioned. .... X offense? Possible expulsion. And then you would have to investigate every report of threatening or harrassing communications, and apply clear standards in an even-handed manner. No Constitutional right is absolute. Even First Amendment rights are subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions. The key is to avoid vagueness, overbreadth, and arbitrary enforcement, as those are the usual grounds for striking down speech-based state actions.
-
Easy way to have a policy that expels white supremacists is to stipulate that enforcement on the first offense can be waived if the person publicly states that they had no intention to disparage a protected group or support the superiority of any racial group.
-
Alternate (better?) idea: raise tuition to $200k per semester, but unlimited scholarships available for students who write a 200 word essay describing why black lives matter.
-
You're making a gigantic reach if you are classifying that tweet as harassment.
If I tweet out something derogatory about Jesus, am I harrasing Christians?
Depends on the circumstance, however that wasn't really the point, the larger point is "it was a joke" isn't a defense of harassment.

I tend to agree as well. The part that scares me in all of this is the idea that the 'state' would expel a young kid (or anyone for that matter) from a public school for something he says on Twitter. Maybe this kid in particular is a dumbass and/or a dirtbag, but the idea that a student at a public university is expelled based on speech is concerning. A lot of dumbasses and dirtbags go to school.. isn't that the purpose? Based on the first amendment related tweets that one of the athletes made after a meeting with KSU administration, it sounds like the administration tends to also agree.
At risk of being labeled a racist, I also cringe when college coaches openly endorse Black Lives Matter. I think very few people know what this actual group stands for or what it's endgame really is. But, questioning the group -- is out of the question -- and is only done by 'racists'.

#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.
We are expansive. We are a collective of liberators who believe in an inclusive and spacious movement. We also believe that in order to win and bring as many people with us along the way, we must move beyond the narrow nationalism that is all too prevalent in Black communities. We must ensure we are building a movement that brings all of us to the front.
We affirm the lives of Black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, undocumented folks, folks with records, women, and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. Our network centers those who have been marginalized within Black liberation movements.
We are working for a world where Black lives are no longer systematically targeted for demise.
We affirm our humanity, our contributions to this society, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression.
The call for Black lives to matter is a rallying cry for ALL Black lives striving for liberation.

the point is that the org stands for more than the relatively narrow issue of ending police brutality or other bodily threats to black people, which is much broader than what I think most people are referring to when they say "black lives matter."
which is fine -- they're definitely allowed to stand (or not stand) for whatever they want. but it's fair to draw a distinction between "black lives matter" and "Black Lives Matter."

Stupid thing is, this dumbass k state kid tweeted a joke that was like a week old.
He just Must not be that bright,
Players are goin a tad overboard. But Mainstream Media & Educational Indoctrination has trained them to push harder and harder.
like where does this even end? Whats thier Utopia ?
im all for black lives matter. i'm all for letting the players speak their opinion more often. but its pretty obvious the players got caught up in the popular thing to do at the moment movement which is jump out at any borderline or outright thing in our life that could be perceived as racist or anti BLM. I"m not sure why anyone cares what one kid on twitter thinks when there are roughly 1 million kids on twitter saying racist and offensive things EVERY DAY! unfortunately for KSU this kid has the KSU logo on his twitter account otherwise the fb players would have never cared enough to speak up. i dont think the players needed to burn down our university reputation over something a single punk wrote on a social platform that is famous for disparaging uses. the players statements sounded very oppositional to the university. they apparently never even stopped long enough to think about what they were asking. then when they had a few hours to reflect on what they really wanted they asked for something that had already occurred several hours earlier in the day. the president and coaches condemned the tweet very early in that afternoon. the players are young and naive but need to learn to wield their power in a very deliberate manner with well thought out intentions. right now they are just jumping on the bandwagon and in my opinion hurting the group of people who are their biggest supporters

the players are forcing the coaches and administration to make the university look good. They had an initial reaction, had meetings, and then came out with a new unified statement.
And who exactly are they hurting?

So you are comfortable calling him a racist by association with a club you know nothing about and people you know nothing about but his tweet making light of Lloyd’s murder isn’t racist?
have u ever read what some of these guys write on twitter? they may try to avoid saying things that others could without a doubt call racist but there is no doubt at all they are there to stir up trouble with other people whether those other people are black or any other color. now whether ksu can find something to justify kicking him out i'm not sure. my personal preference would be to ignore the loser and let him die a quiet death but if its me i'm looking for something i can put in policy just for punks like him that want to start trouble that will make it very difficult for him to avoid crossing that line in future jerkiness. yes some might call it censoring and i'm not a lawyer but if the vast majority of the people find something offensive and someone repeatedly flaunts that offensiveness then i think they should at least be able to remove him from their organization.

this is what the players asked for

Well I very much disagree there
unless the boy has not had a phone, television or been out of the basement in the last month with no human contact which is not likely given he is tweeting on a social media platform then he is acutely aware of the current environment in this country. knowing he is aware of the environment it is certainly VERY reasonable to assume he knew he was being distasteful and purposely chose a now famous murdered black man to be the central figure of his "joke".
you know i dont really care if it didn't meet some required minimum criteria of racism. the kid is not stupid and is an absolute punk. anyone who doesn't agree with at least that is fooling themselves and has serious issues themselves. and i think someone needs to teach him a lesson whatever form that takes. but hopefully the kind that gets rid of him wearing our colors. he's got something bad coming his way sooner or later whether its from a policy standpoint or a greater authority
-
Another big advantage of having a policy in place like the one I sketched earlier is that the university can simply say, "We have a policy in place and are adhering to it. For privacy reasons, we are not permitted to comment further."

Your policy wouldn't withstand constitutional scrutiny I don't think. At least not if it was to be applied to negatively impact this kid's statement.

At risk of being labeled a racist, I also cringe when college coaches openly endorse Black Lives Matter. I think very few people know what this actual group stands for or what it's endgame really is. But, questioning the group -- is out of the question -- and is only done by 'racists'.
it means that black lives matter, not terribly difficult to comprehend
woof
Mr. Johnson, who was black, told police negotiators that “he was upset about Black Lives Matter,” Chief Brown said. “He said he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”
5 dead, 9 injured. How soon we forget.

Also I have no idea how Bill would have reacted in this situation, if at all. If I had to take a guess it would be not favorable.
Can you define "favorable"?
i think the college coaches know a whole lot more about what BLM meaning is because they actually talk to black people. the vast majority of white people dont have discussions with black people therefore are left to their own ignorance to fill in the question with their own naive answer. i consider myself ignorant and naive and only have an opinion because i listened to some very well spoken black NFL players explain themselves in 10 minute videos recently. they agree that all lives matter and white lives matter. they are on board with that. their issue is that black lives have not seemed to matter as much as other lives and have not illicited similar responses by the country to negative happenings to the group. so black lives is not intended to diminish others lives as much as they think its necessary to elevate the black lives movement so they can be included in the all lives matter conversation. right now they feel like their lives do not matter as much. and i think they may have a point
Favorable may not have been the best word choice, but not favorable in the sense he may have taken no action or statement at all. This situation may be a bit outside of Bill's comfort zone and I don't think he would have liked the players threatening to boycott the game and team. CK is in full support of the players and the movement.
I agree with this
I tend to agree as well. The part that scares me in all of this is the idea that the 'state' would expel a young kid (or anyone for that matter) from a public school for something he says on Twitter. Maybe this kid in particular is a dumbass and/or a dirtbag, but the idea that a student at a public university is expelled based on speech is concerning. A lot of dumbasses and dirtbags go to school.. isn't that the purpose? Based on the first amendment related tweets that one of the athletes made after a meeting with KSU administration, it sounds like the administration tends to also agree.

Stupid thing is, this dumbass k state kid tweeted a joke that was like a week old.
He just Must not be that bright,
Players are goin a tad overboard. But Mainstream Media & Educational Indoctrination has trained them to push harder and harder.
like where does this even end? Whats thier Utopia ?
im all for black lives matter. i'm all for letting the players speak their opinion more often. but its pretty obvious the players got caught up in the popular thing to do at the moment movement which is jump out at any borderline or outright thing in our life that could be perceived as racist or anti BLM. I"m not sure why anyone cares what one kid on twitter thinks when there are roughly 1 million kids on twitter saying racist and offensive things EVERY DAY! unfortunately for KSU this kid has the KSU logo on his twitter account otherwise the fb players would have never cared enough to speak up. i dont think the players needed to burn down our university reputation over something a single punk wrote on a social platform that is famous for disparaging uses. the players statements sounded very oppositional to the university. they apparently never even stopped long enough to think about what they were asking. then when they had a few hours to reflect on what they really wanted they asked for something that had already occurred several hours earlier in the day. the president and coaches condemned the tweet very early in that afternoon. the players are young and naive but need to learn to wield their power in a very deliberate manner with well thought out intentions. right now they are just jumping on the bandwagon and in my opinion hurting the group of people who are their biggest supporters
the players are forcing the coaches and administration to make the university look good. They had an initial reaction, had meetings, and then came out with a new unified statement.
And who exactly are they hurting?
kansas state ended up on the front page of every national newspaper in the country with a headline that stated our fb players were protesting against the university for racist tweets. maybe i'm too sensitive but i took that personally. i dont think one punk on twitter represents kansas state. i think they blew it out of proportion and hurt our image. the people and alumni of this university are these kids biggest supporters outside of their own families. we pay for their school, their lodging, their food and give them them opportunity to showcase their talents. i mean most of kansas state supports them in a way no one else does. and their knee jerk reaction caused harm in my opinion to our reputation. at least in the short run

Universities have always been places where controversial ideas can be widely shared and discussed. Our goal, embedded in our Principles of Community, is that this discourse be civil, with participants being treated with dignity and respect. We want every student on our campuses, as well as all faculty and staff, to know they are safe and to be treated with respect and common decency. These have been our values since our founding. There is no place on our campuses for racism, hate and bigotry.
Or jokes apparently.
The left loves talk and speech until it's words they don't like. Then it must be suppressed, rejected, controlled, punished.
It has to be one of the most blatant double standards in modern political discourse.

Interesting, thanks for posting cRusty.
Few of those things really seem to be their mission statement now, recently the co-founder of BLM openly stated that their exclusive goal is to remove the signer of the First Step Criminal Reform Act from office. The same administration that's working on second chance for success initiatives (particularly for hiring into Federal jobs) pell grants for people in prison to continue their education etc. etc. etc.
Oh well, politics, man.
they're also anti-family
It's on their website, not mine.
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.
Monsters smdh
The "systemic" destruction of the black patriarchal family over the past 60 years has nothing to do with the current situation or environment that got us here, either. </sarcasm>

An update from Dick
did kansas state have a racism problem before last Friday? i mean i know most racism is hidden and spoken behind closed doors but the way these things are written make it sound like we have a problem that maybe others dont have. there is no reference to national perspectives. i'm glad they are putting down some plans for that this is good. but isn't it amazing what 1 punk ass kid on social platform a platform famous for bad purposes can do to the image of hundreds of thousands of other people with no association to the kid? if ksu can flip this thing from a negative to a positive then hats off to them.

KSU mostly had a hoax hate crime issue that painted it in a bad light.

Both incidents garnered national public attention and damaged the university's reputation. Neither were punished or prosecuted. I suspect Jaden won't have the same outcome, due to the color of his skin.

LOL no one believes it was a joke. no one. it wasn't . and i would ask why all my republican conservative friends most non KSU grads reject this kid's tweet too. in fact i can't find anyone anywhere on the political spectrum that didn't reject the comments and hope they never have to see something similar again. so it doesn't appear to be a "left" thing. it appears to be a human thing. i'm almost positive if asked that even Trump would reject this type of speech. so i'm not sure who is left. is there anybody in your pocket? or you by yourself?

Kstate has had problems in the past. In recent memory the noose that was hung outside of hale library, the blackface sorority girls that ended up leaving campus because people recognized them on campus.
There is always an internal incident on campus at a dorm hall almost every fall since I have been here. It is a problem. And I’d say every campus has problems but ours have been very prevalent the last few years. And Jaden hasn’t helped.

It’s in extremely poor taste either way, but considering the source and the race conversations surrounding Floyd the tweet was basically a dog whistle into a megaphone.

east cat has hate in his heart and no amount of encouragement is going to change that. that's why it has taken so long to rid ourselves of racism. we basically have to wait for all the cruel fuckers to die and hope their kids and grandkids gradually become a little better people than their parents. at least that's what my racist friend told me. he said his dad and granddad taught him those things and didn't know any better until he went to college. and after that he couldn't really change his pattern of thoughts he just realized they might be wrong and was willing to admit it to himself.

You guys can't define a threshold on this, because it's a double standard.
George Floyd met an unfair and unjust death, but that doesn't make the man a saint. Even if he were the most nobel person in history, endorsing a public university to control a students private twitter account is absurd.

Alright possibly racist posters Purplewood and Eastcat, group up with me.
The question isn't whether or not it was a joke, or if it was a joke, whether or not it was funny. The question is, how much oxygen do you give a single, insensitive tweet? And on what basis is that response justified? The marketplace of ideas will work itself out.

No those terms don't offend me but that's not the point and you know it. He used it in a derogatory manner which therefore should be inexcusable. Why should the double standard even be allowed to exist? How do I know he doesn't or won't use offense words for other ethnicity?

Omg - MODS
And my point is it’s not a double standard. You should expect that members of historically oppressed groups (and I’m not just talking about skin color) are going to be offended by using derogatory terms because the odds are they’ve personally experienced pain associated with similar derogatory behavior. I’d steer clear from making an offhand joke about flying airplanes into buildings in NYC (really anywhere) for the same reason.
I suspected you would not be offended by cracker or honkey because there is no pain or oppression related to them. In fact the only time I’ve seen people “upset” about them is almost exactly like the “all lives matter” crowd who use it to divert the conversation away from someone else’s legitimate concerns.

I can't even imagine a world where MIR hasn't called me cracker or honky plenty of times over the past decade.

Mods please change the thread title to athletes forcing racists to out themselves
And please don't forget to add, "and let MIR continue to be a bigot but everyone will just turn their heads"...
I assume that’s because most people have not been offended by what MIR has said. Is there something specific you’re thinking of?
I'm sure when he uses the term honky or cracker he is just trying to get some good ole yucks from you guys so never mind.. :rolleyes: (ftp://:rolleyes:)
Do those terms offend you? I’m asking because as a white man they really don’t offend me and I’m genuinely curious if you find them offensive or if you are just upset that whites don’t have slurs associated with decades of hate and oppression that they can be offended by.
No those terms don't offend me but that's not the point and you know it. He used it in a derogatory manner which therefore should be inexcusable. Why should the double standard even be allowed to exist? How do I know he doesn't or won't use offense words for other ethnicity?
And I'm glad that it doesn't offend you as a white man. Maybe we should change your name to cracktastophe? Are you the board monitor on what terms are offensive for each nationality?
I like the idea of some name changes

Omg - MODS
And my point is it’s not a double standard. You should expect that members of historically oppressed groups (and I’m not just talking about skin color) are going to be offended by using derogatory terms because the odds are they’ve personally experienced pain associated with similar derogatory behavior. I’d steer clear from making an offhand joke about flying airplanes into buildings in NYC (really anywhere) for the same reason.
I suspected you would not be offended by cracker or honkey because there is no pain or oppression related to them. In fact the only time I’ve seen people “upset” about them is almost exactly like the “all lives matter” crowd who use it to divert the conversation away from someone else’s legitimate concerns.
I agree with all of that but that doesn't mean people should get the green light to use derogatory terms especially when discussing a topic like this. I think that's part of the reason we are where we are because people thought it was acceptable and if even if they didn't they just shrugged their shoulders because they thought it was funny.
Also, you're welcome on your new name. :gocho: (ftp://:gocho:)

It's more lip service, when BLM tires of lip service things will escalate.

What is your prediction of how they will escalate?

first do you agree that as a whole white America has adopted a strategy of giving lip service to BLM but has no intention of relinquishing any power or advantages that they may have to BLM or african americans ?

I would say the events of the last few weeks are an escalation of the collective citizenship being tired of lip service. I know it's inconvenient for you, but Americans views on this (as a whole) have shifted dramatically.

It's pretty telling that you view racial equality as a threat to yourself though :th_twocents:

I've got so much privilege it doesn't really affect me, but I am intrigued by it. From my view the lip service escalated after the recent cop murder and subsequent outrage. Supporters of BLM believe that the movement has momentum and are expecting tangible changes. I don't think they will get anything but window dressing and be disappointed.

And then what?

more than riots and fires :dunno:

or maybe nuthin' i dont know

So your claim is that "BLM will escalate", but you won't actually say what you think that escalation would be.

I'm just basing my prediction on previous experience observing the reaction of people discovering that they have been duped.

Interesting, thanks for posting cRusty.
Few of those things really seem to be their mission statement now, recently the co-founder of BLM openly stated that their exclusive goal is to remove the signer of the First Step Criminal Reform Act from office. The same administration that's working on second chance for success initiatives (particularly for hiring into Federal jobs) pell grants for people in prison to continue their education etc. etc. etc.
Oh well, politics, man.
they're also anti-family
It's on their website, not mine.
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.
Monsters smdh
Oh the conversation I had about this one on kso, lol. Some of these people actually see us as something other than human.
-
Love thy neighbor is just a little too radical for this freedom lover
The concept is actually really difficult for some of them, maybe the exact wording on the website is confusing. One dude actually thought, well he tried to make the argument that BLM advocates for the removal of fathers.

The line between a tasteless joke and racism is racism. If trim put that "joke".on twitter, people wouldn't are the rest of his tweets and say "yep this falls right in line with how he thinks." He also would have apologized and been embarrassed for making such a gross miscalculation.
Jaden wasn't joking and literally everyone in the world with reading capabilities knows that. I have no problem calling dumbfuck racists like eastcat dumbfuck racists for such a lame and obviously insincere defense.

Yep, although you must know that power and equality aren't the same. This is how you fall into the "there was a black president" trap.
For the record I agree with you that myers statement is just a bunch of meaningless words, without action I'm continuing to hold every dime and child, and I have an army of them, from K-State.

Yeah it's a damned shame. I got my diploma today and with all that has went on the last two weeks I don't even wanna show it off. I'm ashamed especially since the school hasn't made headway. You said it best earlier it is worth getting sued over. And I really hope the school see's that.

I can use these words - Is that like black privilege or something
I have a decade long track record with these people - Did you just say you are not racist because you have white friends?
don't bother responding, its not important, you just crack me up.

Curious about the last part... do you think there are other (especially midwestern) state schools doing measurably better than K-State in this respect? If so what are they doing? (I realize this may be entirely beside the point for what you do with your money and progeny.)
This specific instance seems too tied to Jaden to blame the university for allowing it to start, response obviously TBD. The #BlackAtKState from a few weeks back is also hard for me to say whether it is just something that caught on twitter and could have happened at any number of schools, or if there was something about KState in particular.

This is classic. It's okay for you to do it when somebody knows you right?

If I did the same with my pals you wouldn't hesitate to call me privileged or a racist, which you pretty much have when you don't know me but it's ok for you. What a douche. Why don't you say you have many white friends too and they don't care because they know you... oh, you just did that. lol. You gave bookie an incredibly hard time about him saying the same damn thing. And the name calling is also a great touch you possess.

Good question, and I don't know how other universities would handle it, fortunately they haven't had the chance, K-State has and it appears as if Myers is just going to hem and haw and hope that this goes away. I know this, Wefald wouldn't do this, people might not like what he would have done, but he would have done something other than a 1000 word press release that didn't do much more than tout where he's been. It's unfortunate that the jaden fish was thrown in their laps, but that's how crisis management works.
I agree with #blackatkstate, almost all of those stories had nothing to do with K-State as an institution. That was brought to my my attention a week after otherwise I would have tried to shift the focus on the university response to things that happened under their watch, other than the acts themselves.
I am getting the feeling that the leadership at the school thinks that initiatives aimed at recruiting minority students and using supportive words stand in the place of actual strong, put your foot down advocacy. I also will relate this to sexual harassment at schools. Back in the day before title IX offices, schools would absolutely use strong language disavowing all forms of harassment, but they really did nothing to protect women, not until the federal government made them do so.

Thanks. My hope is that today’s statement was truly a stall for time to navigate admittedly complex ancillary issues, legal and otherwise. If this is the end of it, that will be disappointing.

Yes, you dumb sonofabitch, I can use language on a message board and with my friends than I couldn't in other settings. No rough ridin' crap, like what in the living hell are you even crying about here? It's just like you using words like spook, coon, wetback, chink, etc. when you're hanging out with Billy over the smoker while having a busch light.
You're also still equating the words cracker and honkey with other language that has historically been used to harm people of color. Honkey and cracker were made popular by late 20th century comedians. Why don't you do a Google image search of the words cracker and honkey and look at the results, then Google image those words I used in my first paragraph, you tell me the difference in those terms.

what specific action are people accusing the president of not taking? what actions has ksu not done that other schools have done? is ksu at fault for a boys comment on twitter? i think its been what 2 days and we're already criticizing the president for not having solved the problem of kids being offensive on social media? please highlight for me because i am dumb and uneducated what the things other colleges have done to combat a handful of racist punks that KSU has refused to institute. thanks so much

guys I infiltrated the BLM cell and came back with some intel. sounds fishy
#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.
We are expansive. We are a collective of liberators who believe in an inclusive and spacious movement. We also believe that in order to win and bring as many people with us along the way, we must move beyond the narrow nationalism that is all too prevalent in Black communities. We must ensure we are building a movement that brings all of us to the front.
We affirm the lives of Black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, undocumented folks, folks with records, women, and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. Our network centers those who have been marginalized within Black liberation movements.
We are working for a world where Black lives are no longer systematically targeted for demise.
We affirm our humanity, our contributions to this society, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression.
The call for Black lives to matter is a rallying cry for ALL Black lives striving for liberation.
You also don't have to read far to find anti-family and Marxist ideas.

Cross post; Have you guys been over to Wildcat unfiltered or K-State Family. What a bunch of racists
Some of them, probably. I think others are making valid points. I'll probably butcher this quote, but the guy who said that more would feel empowered if this guy gets kicked out, sues, and wins. I don't want any of the money I give to K-State going to fight racist trolls, or worse, being paid to them because they've won a lawsuit against the university.
I still think too much attention is being given to this.
The tweet that is, not racism in general.

Some of them, probably. I think others are making valid points. I'll probably butcher this quote, but the guy who said that more would feel empowered if this guy gets kicked out, sues, and wins. I don't want any of the money I give to K-State going to fight racist trolls, or worse, being paid to them because they've won a lawsuit against the university.
I still think too much attention is being given to this.
The tweet that is, not racism in general.
you should tell that guy that the players' most recent statement they all posted isn't asking for the kid to be expelled.
It's amazing how many definitely not racist adults have been tsk-tsking the athletes for not thinking this through while casting judgement and making assumptions without actually taking the time to learn what the players are asking for.

I'm honestly dont know what they want at this point. They started out with "expel him, or else" and now are on "everyone needs to be nice to us, or else". Is this accurate or what exactly do they want at this point?

They started with "make it a university policy that racism isn't ok" and that is where they still are.

Sure. That's a vague enough term that could theoretically cover "disrespectful" actions. The problem wouldn't be the policy, the problem would be applying it in a way that would withstand constitutional scrutiny in the event a punished student sues -- the importance of which hinges on whether the university cares about losing a hypothetical constitutional claim brought by a student.
I actually think the more applicable rule would be:
- Conduct directed towards another person(s) that is intended to and does substantially interfere with another’s educational or employment opportunity, peaceful enjoyment of residence, or physical security.
That's pretty close to what the athletes are advocating for. I doubt that that point would cover the tweet at issue ("directed at" being the most operative phrase), but it's at least close to what the athletes are calling for.
-
Yeah, except they’re looking for validation that racism is a special category worth calling out. I’m honestly surprised the provisions you highlighted don’t already call out protected groups.

You would be incorrect. That phrase does not refer to disrupting someone's internal peace; it refers to a state of lawlessness that is considered dangerous. For example, let's say you're repossessing someone's tractor because you loaned them money to purchase the tractor and they defaulted on the loan. When you show up, the farmer is sitting on the tractor with a shotgun. You cannot then repossess the tractor without causing a breach of the peace, so you can no longer privately repossess it.

There's a practical element to this. K-State can do whatever it wants. There's very little (if anything) K-State can do to punish protected (i.e. racist) speech within the bounds of the constitution.
If K-State needs some pretext to boot this guy (or the next guy) off campus or otherwise punish him in any meaningful way, "breach of peace" is as good (and as bad) as any, imo.

No, K-State cannot do just whatever it wants. It's a state university. The state owns it, runs it, allots it money etc. It is a state actor regardless of which way the political winds happen to be blowing. I forgot that part of the Constitution where it said, hey these rights we discussed, nevermind ... they don’t rough ridin' apply if a school has a code of conduct. Being expelled is punishment. The First Amendment prevents state actors from retaliating against individuals for protected speech. It isn't just limited to protection from being jailed.
The whole reason for the code of conduct change is so that students can be removed for similar comments in the future. This is setting up the university to be sued in multiple ways when the next racist bad person like this kid gets kicked out for similar statements/tweets/FB posts. I understand that it wasn't really a joke to him. I understand who he is and the groups he associates with. I also understand that as a grown adult, sometimes you have to just walk on by the trash.
This little punk's comment was horribly insensitive, specifically intended to rile people up, comes at a politically hostile time, and is not worth the time it takes to read.
Yet, here we are anyways.

Remember how bothered gE posters get when they'd see the "racist piece of crap" tag in their profile here?
KSU as a university can't brand a student that, but the community can. Long before the tweet, EMAW's and MHK'rs should've been pointing the kid out everywhere he goes and announcing there goes the racist piece of crap.

This event with GF was originally about police brutality. That was a valid conclusion and concern. It has been hijacked into a society engineering wealth redistribution plan like Zimbabwe.
All dissent bullied and shouted down in the name of racism.

this might be another spracne question but if one decides to become a student at kansas state university and as a condition of enrollment you agree - either in writing or implied by your attendance - that you will abide by the ksu honor code...isn't that an instance of the student knowingly and willfully forfeiting some of their constitutional rights in order to participate? Like yes you can make your "this is unconstitutional" argument all you want but if if you agree to abide by the honor code then you just agreed to an additional set of rules/restrictions.

There's no ammo that will stand legal scrutiny. If this kid gets kicked out and has the wherewithal to come back and sue the university, he'll very likely win.
There have been a few students booted from public universities (OU for one) and the students have not come back at the university with lawsuits, but expelling students for protected speech is a dog that won't hunt for long. The ACLU has historically gone after institutions who punishment students for exercising free speech, but has so far stayed out of the 'racist' protected speech issues.
ACLU Blurb on topic:
CAN I BE PUNISHED FOR EXERCISING MY RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH?
Students retain their right to free speech in the public school setting, but that doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want anytime you want. For example, you can be disciplined for violating a bullying policy that bars students from threatening or repeatedly harassing other students, even if it’s “just words.” On the other hand, a bullying policy that punishes you for causing another student “emotional harm,” a very vague and open-ended standard, probably violates your free speech rights.
You are generally free to express your political views on buttons and T-shirts. In that vein, a court upheld the right of students to wear breast cancer awareness bracelets that said “I <3 boobies”; on the other hand, the U.S. Supreme Court approved the discipline of a student who gave an off-color school auditorium speech. In short, many of these issues are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may not have simple answers.
Schools are much more limited in trying to discipline you for comments you make outside the school setting, such as on Facebook or other social media, unless they can demonstrate that it caused disruption in school. If you think your free speech rights were violated at school because you were punished for something you said, then you should contact the ACLU or an attorney.

I'll be honest, I don't know the precise contours of the answer to your question, but I do know that contracts that purport to waive constitutional rights are difficult to enforce, particularly where there is uneven bargaining power and/or it is a contract of adhesion rather than a contract freely negotiated at arms-length. The fact that, in this instance, it is essentially the state asking you to waive your constitutional rights via a contract of adhesion, I would think that would garner additional skepticism by a court.

are there any government services that can be denied to racists? I was thinking maybe small business loans or grants might not be given to businesses that do something like exclusively sell swastika stickers.

Yes, K-State can. If K-State wants to expel him or anyone like him, they can do it in the next ten minutes. Whether, down the line, the guy sues and K-State gets told by some judge that they have to let him back in is another (and overwhelmingly likely) story.
I get how the first amendment and student speech works, but the practicalities of constitutional protections being enforced require more than the bare unconstitutional action.

There's plenty of information that indicates this guy was creating an atmosphere of intimidation.
This isn't some dork thinking he's gonna try and make a funny and gets embarrassed. This is an individual engaged in a systemic process to spur others to intimidate people on campus. I'm sure there's lefties engaged in the same behavior, they need to be dealt with as well.

No, K-State cannot do just whatever it wants. It's a state university. The state owns it, runs it, allots it money etc. It is a state actor regardless of which way the political winds happen to be blowing. I forgot that part of the Constitution where it said, hey these rights we discussed, nevermind ... they don’t rough ridin' apply if a school has a code of conduct. Being expelled is punishment. The First Amendment prevents state actors from retaliating against individuals for protected speech. It isn't just limited to protection from being jailed.
The whole reason for the code of conduct change is so that students can be removed for similar comments in the future. This is setting up the university to be sued in multiple ways when the next racist bad person like this kid gets kicked out for similar statements/tweets/FB posts. I understand that it wasn't really a joke to him. I understand who he is and the groups he associates with. I also understand that as a grown adult, sometimes you have to just walk on by the trash.
This little punk's comment was horribly insensitive, specifically intended to rile people up, comes at a politically hostile time, and is not worth the time it takes to read.
Yet, here we are anyways.
Yes, K-State can. If K-State wants to expel him or anyone like him, they can do it in the next ten minutes. Whether, down the line, the guy sues and K-State gets told by some judge that they have to let him back in is another (and overwhelmingly likely) story.
I get how the first amendment and student speech works, but the practicalities of constitutional protections being enforced require more than the bare unconstitutional action.
well then my vote is find a reason to expel him and do it. if he gets a judge to let him back in then at least KSU has shown they did everything possible. i can't wait for the first report of him being seen on campus. i wonder if he will ever be on campus and if he is even from kansas?

Once again, plenty of ammo to get rid of the kid. Still extremely pleased some of you don't run K-State.
There's no ammo that will stand legal scrutiny. If this kid gets kicked out and has the wherewithal to come back and sue the university, he'll very likely win.
There have been a few students booted from public universities (OU for one) and the students have not come back at the university with lawsuits, but expelling students for protected speech is a dog that won't hunt for long. The ACLU has historically gone after institutions who punishment students for exercising free speech, but has so far stayed out of the 'racist' protected speech issues.
ACLU Blurb on topic:
CAN I BE PUNISHED FOR EXERCISING MY RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH?
Students retain their right to free speech in the public school setting, but that doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want anytime you want. For example, you can be disciplined for violating a bullying policy that bars students from threatening or repeatedly harassing other students, even if it’s “just words.” On the other hand, a bullying policy that punishes you for causing another student “emotional harm,” a very vague and open-ended standard, probably violates your free speech rights.
You are generally free to express your political views on buttons and T-shirts. In that vein, a court upheld the right of students to wear breast cancer awareness bracelets that said “I <3 boobies”; on the other hand, the U.S. Supreme Court approved the discipline of a student who gave an off-color school auditorium speech. In short, many of these issues are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may not have simple answers.
Schools are much more limited in trying to discipline you for comments you make outside the school setting, such as on Facebook or other social media, unless they can demonstrate that it caused disruption in school. If you think your free speech rights were violated at school because you were punished for something you said, then you should contact the ACLU or an attorney.
You're FOS, bro.
There's plenty of information that indicates this guy was creating an atmosphere of intimidation.
This isn't some dork thinking he's gonna try and make a funny and gets embarrassed. This is an individual engaged in a systemic process to spur others to intimidate people on campus. I'm sure there's lefties engaged in the same behavior, they need to be dealt with as well.
if this is correct i think it will be pretty easy to show a pattern of comments trying to initiate disruption. disruption of what might be the key issue for someone smarter than me but he is definitely trying his hardest to disrupt people/systems/groups/
-
You would be incorrect. That phrase does not refer to disrupting someone's internal peace; it refers to a state of lawlessness that is considered dangerous. For example, let's say you're repossessing someone's tractor because you loaned them money to purchase the tractor and they defaulted on the loan. When you show up, the farmer is sitting on the tractor with a shotgun. You cannot then repossess the tractor without causing a breach of the peace, so you can no longer privately repossess it.

This little crap has already garnered a larger platform than he could have ever dreamed. Why would we want to perpetuate this and end up in court, likely to lose? Just to prove we're not racists?

Yeah. Just like a person can rob a bank or kill someone...
The kid would sue, he'd win, and the University would write a check for at least seven if not eight figures.
They'd be subject to punitive damages. Just how big do think the damages would be so that the University would never do this again.
This kid has already lawyered up and is waiting for the University to do something stupid.

I think punitives (or any damages beyond nominal) would be pretty unlikely.
-
Remember how bothered gE posters get when they'd see the "racist piece of crap" tag in their profile here?
KSU as a university can't brand a student that, but the community can. Long before the tweet, EMAW's and MHK'rs should've been pointing the kid out everywhere he goes and announcing there goes the racist piece of crap.
I haven't paid attention to what year this kid is but not sure how he thinks he's going to get a job anywhere? He's mumped for a long time to come.

Google/search lexis/nexis for "first amendment retaliation".
Obviously there are no cases exactly like this one, but the law is clear as is the possibility, if not likelihood, of damages in the millions of dollars.
Given KState's size and the stupidity it would take for University to take any actions to remove this guy, the damages would likely be huge - as the point is to make it painful. KState could easily manage a low seven-figure claim.
And no, the University cannot start digging into the guys past as that would simply support the idea that they are retaliating because of the tweet.
The good things is that the President and University counsel know this and are looking at other ways to address the situation.

(I'll acknowledge this could just be wishful thinking, but imagine booing someone saying "black lives matter")

I can def hear the grumbling throughout the stadium, though. I don’t think it would last for a whole season though. Most people resistant to the phrase Black Lives Matter haven’t put much time into trying to understand it.

There will at minimum be a few short-haired ladies in the crowd (undoubtedly named Tammy or Jan or something) who will halfheartedly yell “All Lives Matter!” Probably just loud enough to be heard in the neighboring sections.

I imagine that would be true. Whatever. If they don't like K-State's messaging (and they don't have to like it) they don't have to attend games.
K-State's putting their neck out there a little bit by signing on to do this. I'm sure they've considered the consequences.

i believe that's part of the plan. more scholarships for underprivileged communities. i'm proud of this.
and if some people dont like a pro-diversity message at ksu public gatherings then maybe we dont them at our gatherings. i think we need people of all color and all origin to go to ksu. we will not survive with just farmers kids. i think that has already started to show itself. its past time to change our brand in order to help our future. i'll take all the farmers i can get and i'll also take anyone else. but i think farmers already feel welcome here. i'm not sure many others do.
have you ever seen a couple african american football recruits walking around the stadium during a game? i can't imagine how uncomfortable it must be for many of them. not because of offensive comments or looks. Just how different this world looks from theirs.
i dont think i would sign on to attend one of the historically black colleges. i understand how they might go home wondering if this is where they could feel comfortable

yes i know that. i think you probably knew i was generalizing a lot when describing what most of us would agree the most common KSU student profile. i lumped them together thinking it would be ok. sorry but to an african american or any outsider of kansas a kid from wichita is almost indistinguishable from a kid from abilene. Usually. either way the school can not just rely on the kids from wichita, kc, and farmland, ks. and whether some people like it nor not that means doing something to attract kids from outside our usual territory.

Here I have an idea, match every scholarship you grant an african american student athlete with 5 more just like it for african american non athletes. That would feel a little more genuine. pffft of color my ass!
I LOVE the idea of more scholarships for non-athletes.
maga :cheers:
No maga here, bro. Just a fan of more scholarships for scholars.
You mean like earning them for what you know and not what you look like?
why is earning a scholarship for what you know preferable than scholarships for other reasons? not sure why that is important actually? 25% of my fraternity had absolutely no business being in college if academic desire or talent was a prerequisite or condition to hang around. ACT score is not a precise indicator of knowledge or future career prospects. some of the dumbest shits i ever met in college are either doing incredible things or have made millions of dollars. So trying to choose the future contribution of kids by an ACT score or as you call "for what they know" has already been proven to be inaccurate. HALF the kids with your so called brains drop out of college anyway.

I think Kansans will be too ashamed to boo that. definitely lots of stern arm folding though, kansans just aren't an outspoken bunch when it comes to things like this.
Under normal circumstances, you would be right. We are talking about Kansans who have spent the last 4 hours throwing washers and chugging Coors Light, though.

Or maybe certain donors will contribute more after seeing how the Athletic Department responded to the situation, as well as seeing how the team came together as one in support of each other. Maybe some major donors aren’t racists. Just a thought.

i believe that's part of the plan. more scholarships for underprivileged communities. i'm proud of this.
and if some people dont like a pro-diversity message at ksu public gatherings then maybe we dont them at our gatherings. i think we need people of all color and all origin to go to ksu. we will not survive with just farmers kids. i think that has already started to show itself. its past time to change our brand in order to help our future. i'll take all the farmers i can get and i'll also take anyone else. but i think farmers already feel welcome here. i'm not sure many others do.
have you ever seen a couple african american football recruits walking around the stadium during a game? i can't imagine how uncomfortable it must be for many of them. not because of offensive comments or looks. Just how different this world looks from theirs.
i dont think i would sign on to attend one of the historically black colleges. i understand how they might go home wondering if this is where they could feel comfortable

Oh i think you might be surprised. there are a LOT of normal acting people who think black lives matter is a cover for a terrorist organization and is trying to overthrow the government and erase American history forever and adopt every far left liberal extremest idea ever conceived as well as taking down the african american community as a whole. These are college graduates. these are hard working people. these are church going people. Depending on how KSU chooses to promote BLM at games i can almost promise you they will boo depending on how it is fed to them. But i am hoping they will feel just enough uncomfortable in front of so many others that they might stay quiet and bitch on their way home

interesting you say this i've been thinking about that issue a little bit. my impression is some people have been using the word racist to describe others who may well be racist or may just not understand all the intentions and meanings of the other side so are really just uninformed more than they are racist. There is an amazing amount of lack of clarity and understanding even in very intelligent people about Black Lives Matter and other racial movements currently. Their misunderstanding of the goals and intentions of these race movements makes them appear racist when in reality they believe something about the movement that isn't true. so instead of jumping on people as racist it might be more friendly to discuss their specific thoughts on the ideas because there are a lot of ill informed people.

Idk if you felt wrapped up in my statement, but it seemed pretty clear that sort of statement was directed towards people like eastcat. It doesn't have to be this super nuanced discussion. If you do feel like it was directed at you I would like to know how you arrived at that conclusion. Being concerned about 1st amendment rights is one thing, doing what Stevie said, me pointing out the obvious, has nothing to with that.

”We encourage any student who feels threatened to contact the Office of Student Life,” said Jeff Morris, university spokesman. “We have a wide array of resources to help them. We have been working closely with many of our students and student athletes who have been affected by recent events.”
maybe Jeff could personally hit the phones and personally reach out to black students, regardless of whether or not they feel threatened? I think the students quoted have good points.

Just calling up the black students to make sure they are OK after someone tweeted something mean sounds condescending as eff.

it doesn't need to be a "are you OK?" call, it can be a "we're serious about making you more comfortable on campus, you're an important part of our community, here's what we're doing, how do you feel about it, what would you like to see us do differently?"
Yeah idk about that. Honestly a little surprised by the statements in the article about feeling unsafe since the only publicized stuff I’m aware of were false flags.

The students quoted cited specific non-publicized incidents that happened to them personally. The McNeil tweet just started a dialogue. And you're right that incidents like this are probably not unique to KSU, but maybe KSU could be unique in their response? (in a positive way)
-
actually when i looked up Jeff Morris, it probably isn't his job. But more outreach from KSU beyond "hey if you feel threatened, give us a call!" and "here's a list of possibly meaningless actions" would be nice.

It shouldn’t be a quest for demographics. Increasing diversity in a school or workplace makes everyone involved demonstrably better. You can’t be a great educational institution by matching the low demographics of the state you’re in.
Obviously it’s an extra challenge for the KS schools but it’s a campaign worth fighting.

Precisely, except KSU has a much lower number despite overall higher enrollment (assuming this is still the case, but I haven't checked lately).
KU always has approximately 2,000 more undergraduate students than K-State. Wyandotte County alone has approximately 50K black residents. So a couple of hundred more black students at KU which is right down the road isn't impressive to say the least.

Not that this is even germane, as I never claimed KU was somehow a model of diversity, but where are you seeing current undergraduate enrollment numbers for both schools?

Which only makes the handwringing by some about how this is going to impact recruiting at K-State hilarious. Every P5 public university is pretty much cracker town with maybe a few exceptions, and the privates are even worse. It's all about what K-State does.

Just calling up the black students to make sure they are OK after someone tweeted something mean sounds condescending as eff.
Well, it isn't.
-
Yeah idk about that. Honestly a little surprised by the statements in the article about feeling unsafe since the only publicized stuff I’m aware of were false flags.
Not doubting their feelings obviously, just clearly not a problem unique to KSU’s campus.
In this case it doesn't matter how unique it is to Kansas State, that's the university they attend so that's the only school that matters. Of course kso went off the rails when this article was posted. Instead of white K-Staters losing their crap, y'all/they/whatever should be happy the student's love K-State enough to stay and make it a better place.
-

Well, it isn't.
I'll expand here. I don't even know how this could be construed as condescending at all. The university made a decision to keep a vocal and visible white supremacist on campus, making a call to the people of color on campus to have a brief chat about it is the least they can do. It's great humanity and customer service. You can't be an ally if you aren't willing to give a voice to those needing to be represented and to be an active listener when the people you are professing to help wants to talk.
Long story short, none of these problems will be solved by us not talking to people who can actually fix it.
-
I try to empathize with feelings of minority students at state but haven't yet heard much in terms of concrete things that have made some of them feel unsafe. other than 1 of 1,000,000 offensive tweets on twitter one day that happened to come from a supposed KSU student.
is it just they are in such a minority that they are uncomfortable? that kinda makes sense
none of them have been very specific about why they feel uncomfortable. no specific examples other than a tweet
i believe them but also think maybe there is a little bit of jumping on the bandwagon. i know people on twitter have asked a couple of these kids quoted in the paper about specific points that led to feeling of unsafeness and the kids will not respond with specifics. When asked what KSU does not do that other colleges do there was no response.
i hope the administration is communicating with all these kids to enlighten our leaders. i've lived in the south. the cultures and people are OVER THE TOP RACIST. not sure there would even be a story here if it weren't for a single tweet on a social media platform famous for being offensive

Well it matters in the sense that many of those students likely aren’t leaving because they don’t expect to feel better off at any of their other options.
KSU is never going to compete with the very top schools for diverse talent, so I’d think positioning itself as better than the alternatives in its tier is a worthy benchmark. Obviously not the end goal, but it’s something.
-
I think kRusty's follow up was fine. Asking for input on how to improve life at the university is great. Offering services or even just someone to listen is all great.
The condescension to me (and admit I may have taken kRusty's post the wrong way initially) is assuming that black students want or need to be checked on like the university is their mother.

I wade tenuously into these waters, as I'm not a KSU stakeholder. In Supreme Court jurisprudence, there is said to be a compelling interest in the level of diversity in institutions reaching a "critical mass", such that minority students are not looked to as being so-called spokespeople of their [insert]. In that sense, I understand catastrophe's point. I think soliciting input from minority students is good, but perhaps it would be better in a town hall kind of setting, or inviting voluntary submissions from students. Reaching out directly to someone based on their melanin content sure smacks of singling out individuals as spokespeople of their [insert].
-
I think it's important you don't call black students and expect them to fix racism on campus. But jesus they're part of a community that was targeted in a high profile way, I don't think you need to worry about Supreme Court jurisprudence to start a conversation with that community about what happened and actions the university is taking.

This is an honest question, as snooty as it sounds, but why would anyone need to prove anything to you? The fact that you feel like you need "concrete evidence" to feel empathetic is telling. If anyone, in any circumstance tells you they feel uncomfortable with something the absolute wrong move is to be like "oh yeah, prove it." Your need for proof before you feel you can do anything to help indicates a lack of empathy that is improbable to overcome as the proof you're seeking is tantamount to saying, "I don't believe you, convince me otherwise."

This is a unique situation, and in this case the university is more important than their mother as their mothers wouldn't let jaden hang out in the house.
I can't speak for others but if I were a current student, I'd have questions about how the university planned to keep me safe, a phone call would let me know that there's at least considerations being made, the school has IMO done nothing to protect students of color from hate speech unless it fits a very narrow definition. To me that isn't acceptable and I'd want answers/assurances made, and it isn't like I can just march into Anderson Hall to get them.

I'm going to ask instead of responding because it seems like you are rebutting my point about students asking for this to be fixed because they love the school they are at and want it to be better. I read your post as saying that the motivation is actually that they see K-State the best of all bad options. That isn't your point, right? If not what exactly is your point?

From the article, here were the reasons offered for staying.
“I thought about transferring because of all of this,” she said. “But I came to K-State because of the veterinarian medicine program. It’s too hard to start over. It is easier to stay than to transfer.”
Besides, she said, she wants to stay and push for change. “But it feels like we are fighting a battle we should not have to fight. When minority students who want to come to K-State ask what it is like on campus, I want to be able to tell them that it’s safe, that they care about us.”
Molinar of Wichita said she doesn’t want to sound hopeless. “But I have thought about leaving K-State. And even considered it. But at the end of the day I am at K-State because I am an engineering student, it’s a good school for that and I’m there to get my degree.”
Ayana Belk, a graduate of Kansas City’s Lincoln College Preparatory Academy, said she feels trapped at K-State because she’s a junior majoring in landscape architecture. “With that major, it’s not easy to just go somewhere else,” the 20-year-old said.
“I did let them know that I didn’t want to come back to K-State and that I did want to transfer,” Belk said. “But I’m going back because my program does very well coming out of K-State.”
They’re not saying race relations would be just as bad elsewhere. They’re saying they’ll deal with shitty race relations at KSU because given their majors, finishing at KSU is worth it.

i get that if someone says they feel unsafe then they feel unsafe. I guess my interest is in understanding why that is the case. in none of those interviews did the student explain why they feel unsafe. how is anyone supposed to know how to address someones lack of personal security if they can't explain what makes them feel that way. i'm all for looking at improving whatever we need to improve. i just like to know what exactly are we trying to improve? is it wrong to want to understand why some students want to transfer but they won't explain why?

And that goes back to our initial disagreement that the university has any responsibility to shield students (adults) from speech they don't like, particularly when it doesn't even happen on campus.
Also, I truly do not understand the not feeling safe because of this guy being enrolled. I don't mean that to be dismissive at all. I try to look though other people's eyes to understand their perspective and it's just not clicking here. To me, the jaden dude is in far more danger from the student body as a whole than any student is in danger from him.

As I understand it from reading the article, it isn't about the tweet, it's about the culture. The tweet's a symptom (albeit an extra loud one) and the culture's the disease. It's a tweet combined with being called the n-word combined with lack of outreach combined with similar experiences other students have had combined with what some felt was a half hearted effort to deal with this. (All things mentioned by students other than the tweet)

”We encourage any student who feels threatened to contact the Office of Student Life,” said Jeff Morris, university spokesman. “We have a wide array of resources to help them. We have been working closely with many of our students and student athletes who have been affected by recent events.”
maybe Jeff could personally hit the phones and personally reach out to black students, regardless of whether or not they feel threatened? I think the students quoted have good points.
Rusty, did you see the protest march vid? It looked like mostly white with a few blacks and I didn't notice any other people of color. It seems there should have been more ppl of color at a march for their rights; again very strange.
-
actually when i looked up Jeff Morris, it probably isn't his job. But more outreach from KSU beyond "hey if you feel threatened, give us a call!" and "here's a list of possibly meaningless actions" would be nice.
I feel like this would be a great assignment for a person of color, not some white person stating crap for the sake of the university to show support.

your explanation still doesn't explain it. "similar experiences other students have had"? What are those experiences? the tweet; lack of outreach; and half hearted effort (which i strongly disagree with) are not really part of a culture. those are separate items. so you didn't really name what the culture problem actually is. i dont hear the n word used often as an explanation of poor culture. i just hear culture. but no one can actually say what they are talking about. you didn't explain it either.

Yes, it's wrong, and I've already explained to you why. Unless one of these students is your child they don't owe you or anyone else anything.

This is the same argument people, including me, said when trump was elected. His embrace of white supremacy wouldn't lead to a spread of the viewpoint. Well I was wrong, it clearly did, his, I won't even call it a support, let's call it antipathy towards the spread of white supremacy has lead to people like jaden feeling much more comfortable spreading it publicly. With the prevalence of this spreading nationally. To me it seems perfectly rational to think that open white supremacy on the campus will be more prevalent given the school blinked when it stared them squarely in the face. At the very least the veil of fear of punishment any of them may have felt is gone. There's nothing stopping neo-nazis from standing outside of a Hillel meeting in the union, intimidating people who want to go in. There's nothing stopping jaden and his crew holding a no coons on campus protest on the quad in front of Eisenhower Hall. There's nothing stopping the Proud Boys from picketing Women's Studies classes. Sure, there was nothing stopping these things from happening before, but now there is absolutely no fear of sanctions from the school. All these things have been green lighted when there may have been some doubt previously.
It's also why people just throwing up their hands and saying speech has to be protected is so frustrating. What is protected speech is and always has been up for interpretation. What is defined as hate speech has changed. This was the time for K-State to stand up against clear hate speech and they didn't do it. The thought that "well it's legal and we can't do anything about" it is why Jim Crow laws were in place for as long as they were. You all are condoning cowardice and inaction when the opposite was needed. It is 100% a privilege to think there absolutely won't be negative consequences to students of color when the school showed that it won't do whatever it takes to protect them.

Well that is rich suggesting that I don't believe the students. I'm extrapolating from the actual statements, whereas you appeared to have pulled this completely from your entire ass:
Instead of white K-Staters losing their crap, y'all/they/whatever should be happy the student's love K-State enough to stay and make it a better place.
The students quoted in the article never said they stayed at K-State because they loved it or that they wanted to make it a better place. They said they stayed because they did not have better options to transfer for the degrees they were pursuing. And whatever the race-related issues they experienced, they were not enough to make them want to take their credits elsewhere. I have no doubt they had plenty of options.
If anything this shows that if universities like KSU want to attract diverse students, it HAS to be a combination of both (1) increasing cultural awareness and tolerance campus wide; and (2) focusing on providing high quality programs to attract quality students. The fact the quoted students were dedicated to KSU's veterinary and engineering programs is really no surprise to me. Those are two of the best programs K-State has to offer.

They’re not saying race relations would be just as bad elsewhere. They’re saying they’ll deal with shitty race relations at KSU because given their majors, finishing at KSU is worth it.
They’re saying that among schools with programs at KSU’s level, they don’t see better options.
What exactly is wrong with you? These black students are liars that can't go to another school?
Well that is rich suggesting that I don't believe the students. I'm extrapolating from the actual statements, whereas you appeared to have pulled this completely from your entire ass:
Instead of white K-Staters losing their crap, y'all/they/whatever should be happy the student's love K-State enough to stay and make it a better place.
The students quoted in the article never said they stayed at K-State because they loved it or that they wanted to make it a better place. They said they stayed because they did not have better options to transfer for the degrees they were pursuing. And whatever the race-related issues they experienced, they were not enough to make them want to take their credits elsewhere. I have no doubt they had plenty of options.
If anything this shows that if universities like KSU want to attract diverse students, it HAS to be a combination of both (1) increasing cultural awareness and tolerance campus wide; and (2) focusing on providing high quality programs to attract quality students. The fact the quoted students were dedicated to KSU's veterinary and engineering programs is really no surprise to me. Those are two of the best programs K-State has to offer.
You seem to be the only person with that interpretation, I'm not going to try to figure out your agenda for making such a dubious interpretation.

From the article, here were the reasons offered for staying.
“I thought about transferring because of all of this,” she said. “But I came to K-State because of the veterinarian medicine program. It’s too hard to start over. It is easier to stay than to transfer.”
Besides, she said, she wants to stay and push for change. “But it feels like we are fighting a battle we should not have to fight. When minority students who want to come to K-State ask what it is like on campus, I want to be able to tell them that it’s safe, that they care about us.”
Molinar of Wichita said she doesn’t want to sound hopeless. “But I have thought about leaving K-State. And even considered it. But at the end of the day I am at K-State because I am an engineering student, it’s a good school for that and I’m there to get my degree.”
Ayana Belk, a graduate of Kansas City’s Lincoln College Preparatory Academy, said she feels trapped at K-State because she’s a junior majoring in landscape architecture. “With that major, it’s not easy to just go somewhere else,” the 20-year-old said.
“I did let them know that I didn’t want to come back to K-State and that I did want to transfer,” Belk said. “But I’m going back because my program does very well coming out of K-State.”
They’re not saying race relations would be just as bad elsewhere. They’re saying they’ll deal with shitty race relations at KSU because given their majors, finishing at KSU is worth it.
i get that if someone says they feel unsafe then they feel unsafe. I guess my interest is in understanding why that is the case. in none of those interviews did the student explain why they feel unsafe. how is anyone supposed to know how to address someones lack of personal security if they can't explain what makes them feel that way. i'm all for looking at improving whatever we need to improve. i just like to know what exactly are we trying to improve? is it wrong to want to understand why some students want to transfer but they won't explain why?
Yes, it's wrong, and I've already explained to you why. Unless one of these students is your child they don't owe you or anyone else anything.
Well good luck on achieving a cultural change if they can't explain how the existing culture is harmful to one's personal security.

To the extent you guys are interested, here is a fairly analogous case from the 70s:

The arguments are very similar to those at issue re. McNeil.

Also, I truly do not understand the not feeling safe because of this guy being enrolled. I don't mean that to be dismissive at all. I try to look though other people's eyes to understand their perspective and it's just not clicking here. To me, the jaden dude is in far more danger from the student body as a whole than any student is in danger from him.
As I understand it from reading the article, it isn't about the tweet, it's about the culture. The tweet's a symptom (albeit an extra loud one) and the culture's the disease. It's a tweet combined with being called the n-word combined with lack of outreach combined with similar experiences other students have had combined with what some felt was a half hearted effort to deal with this. (All things mentioned by students other than the tweet)
your explanation still doesn't explain it. "similar experiences other students have had"? What are those experiences? the tweet; lack of outreach; and half hearted effort (which i strongly disagree with) are not really part of a culture. those are separate items. so you didn't really name what the culture problem actually is. i dont hear the n word used often as an explanation of poor culture. i just hear culture. but no one can actually say what they are talking about. you didn't explain it either.
I don't think you really care to understand
and you would be wrong. what in my writing has conveyed an intention to not understand? i am asking questions to get better educated. that is how we solve problems. and neither of you can tell me what the campus culture is like at KSU that is threatening to people of color. is asking that question racist? i dont understand what is wrong with the question. how do we overcome obstacles without understanding the obstacles? i understand each of us takes responsibility for how we make others feel. but how do we improve individually if we are not educated? you certainly wouldn't expect anything to change without first explaining the problem

i disagree. i have read the article. they did not explain what has made them feel scared. please quote the information where the specific threat was identified or source of the fear.

They don't need to explain that, there's thousands of places you can go to get the explanation of you want it, including this thread. There is no standing for adults to claim ignorance on this topic.

Dismissal isn't any less harmful than willful ignorance. Neither, however, are as bad as people who need to be allies but are afraid of the dirty work.

The arguments are very similar to those at issue re. McNeil.
I'll be real, I'm not going to read 50 year old case law, because I'm not in college anymore. However I do have a direct question for you and the other attorneys on the board, hell for anyone. It's a yes/no question, two actually.
1. Isn't there extensive case law and precedent used to interpret broaden/narrow the scope of constitutional amendments?
2. Has what's considered protected speech changed in any way since 1791?
If the answer to either questions is yes, isn't the opinion that the university should let him stay to protect his first amendment rights just essentially saying you (general term) don't think this is a battle worthy of the university fighting? I'm very put off by some people who are yielding the first amendment as some mind bending labyrinth, not even worth trying to solve.

Personally I don't think there is anything to solve. Racist speech should not be punished by the government.

ok cool. could you simply tell me where to go to find the explanation for why these ksu students are fearful on campus? if there are thousands of places to get the answer could you direct me to just one? that would be helpful so all us ignorant people can become a little less ignorant. you name call but give ambiguous and unclear answers to simple questions. how do u expect anyone to ever come close to your intellectual capacity if you dont help them out with where to get educated?

I think publicly-subsidized college should be looked at as a benefit. Is not receiving a benefit a punishment? Are there any government benefits that can be withheld from racists? (I asked a question to this effect a while back and didn't receive an answer)
I can honestly kind of see arguments both ways.

I'll tell you that I'm a bit rusty on 1A procedural stuff -- spracs seems to have a better understanding so I'll defer to him if my analysis is off. But the answer to both questions 1 and 2 -- "yes."
That said, lower courts would be governed by the established precedent, which undeniably recognizes that expelling this guy would constitute an intentional violation of his constitutional rights. McNeil is back in school a week or two after filing the case, btw. We would 100% lose at the trial level with the only question remaining being damages (not ideal!). SCOTUS could theoretically hear the case (though that's not likely) (also we're spending an assload at this point on fees and we're likely already judgment debtors for the punitive amount) seeking to overturn decades of established precedent, but that sort of thing is exceedingly, exceedingly rare. If by some chance this hypothetical case did make it to the Supreme Court, I suspect the Court would unanimously rule against us. I'd put our odds of success somewhere between 0-5% -- and that may be generous. Also, the resolution of this case would be years down the line.
So yes, it's possible the precedent could get overruled. No, it's a virtual certainty we'd lose. It's also a certainty that this would cost K-State 7-8 figures. If your only bet is overturning 50 year old Supreme Court precedent, it's usually not a good idea.

I don't think America First Students should be a non-profit or receive support from KSU, even if they meet the minimum number of members or get faculty sponsorship

I could probably be persuaded on that. I am completely ignorant of clubs and how they interact with the university though

Also, full disclosure, I wouldn't want K-State to win a case like that because I think it's important to protect free-expression on college campuses - even the expression of ideas i think are stupid and harmful because I'm sure there are plenty of people out there (WHO ARE PIECES OF crap, btw) who think my ideas are stupid and harmful. So take everything I say with a grain of salt because I'm a bit biased.

There’s absolutely 100% always room for change. Your challenge would be crafting a rule that doesn’t have potentially disastrous implications for speech (and would therefore be rejected in a heartbeat).
If you can figure out a way to do that, you could have a case. I just haven’t heard even a half baked suggestion that makes sense to handle something like this.
You can’t tell schools they’re allowed to repress racist/hate/repugnant speech because the terms are so open ended every case would be litigated and there would be no concept of what is and isn’t ok to punish. That kind of uncertainty would lead to the paradigm of a chilling effect on speech.

Would Jaden pass the character and fitness part of the bar exam process?

You seem to be the only person with that interpretation, I'm not going to try to figure out your agenda for making such a dubious interpretation.
My agenda is the same as KSU’s: educate some fools.
Yup. Also, they could've used this as an education moment and had him have to take an African American history course and make it a pre-req for graduation. They control after all how you get a degree.

Adding something like that to the core curriculum would be a great step, IMO.

The only thing that will actually fix the problem is society not accepting racism, not implementing rules against it. Which I recognize is being attempted. Hopefully all this will cause people to speak out more often to their friends/family that have racist tendencies. That's a big slow boat to turn around though, as history shows. However racism has clearly receded over decades and I expect it will continue to do so, although doubtful to ever truly die. Maybe all this can accelerate the process? We can only hope.
But I guess what I'm saying is that I still support the right for dumbass people to say dumbass things within the confines of law. Society itself has to defeat small minds, and IMO, it's very important to keep our rights intact during that process.

If you force knuckleheads like Jaden underground or off campus you definitely make it more difficult for them to organize and get attention. I'm sure he would attract lots of folks who go College Republicans -> TPUSA -> America First who might have just stopped at College Republicans if the America First wasn't an option

yeah I don't understand how chings is coming up with this. I've definitely evolved on race relations since I left college. Granted it wasn't necessarily driven by someone "educating" me, but learning and listening was part of it.

I don't believe in the excuse of ignorance as a true cause of racism for anyone raised (except for extremely extenuating circumstances) in this country.

You're probably right on the first part, but I disagree on the second - again, depends on your definition of "racist". I think there are plenty of casual dog-whistley racists that are that way because they never interacted with minorities.
I'd say an example is when I grew up I used the phrase "jewed him down" quite a bit. I didn't know any Jews or really understand why it was wrong! I probably even used it in college. I don't use that phrase any more.

A huge piece of racism can be educated away. Very few racists actively seek to oppress minorities. The vast majority just seek to perpetuate systems to their advantage either without knowing or being indifferent about the fact that they oppress minorities.

Because I believe that freedom of speech is the cornerstone of a free society. Yes, there are some pretty specific limitations mostly dealing with breaking the law. I understand that you want to file racism in that category as well but it comes dangerously close to thought crime and that's just not something I can support.
If a person is being threatening or harrasing, that's a different discussion.
-
A lot of racist speech is threatening or harassing. I think Jaden's tweet comes pretty close to harassment.
-
I don't think it comes anywhere near harassment
-
I don't think it comes anywhere near harassment
agreed
-
I don't think it comes anywhere near harassment
yeah. if he was going around saying it directly at people, i could see that being interpreted as harassment or fighting words. but since he just put it on twitter - where presumably twitter doesn't force you to see his content and you have to go seek it out - i think that just means he's confirming that he's a piece of crap.
-
I don't think it comes anywhere near harassment
agreed
Oddly enough, the people who would be the ones harassed disagree.
-
I would think of harassment in terms of, would the aggrieved person have any chance of getting a restraining order from the alleged harasser?
When someone says shitty things about someone else that you saw on social media, you’ve got a tough case there.

Harassment definitely doesn't need to be targeted at an individual. It's about making the environment uncomfortable for someone based on who or what they are. Jaden's a really smart racist because he's about at close to harassment as you can get and still have people defending him.

Well that’s just a ridiculously low bar you’ve set. That’s like saying the straight people eating at chick fil a were harassed by those dudes kissing.
The university should be focused on making people feel safe. But comfortable based on their identity? I can’t think of any group who has more vocally complained about being targeted based on identity than white men. I don’t think we should be catering to people’s comfort level.

I didn't set it! (probably should have used "intimidating" or "hostile" instead of "uncomfortable"). And I know employment law doesn't apply here, but feel free to point me to the university's definition of harrassment
. Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.

Honest question, do you see any potential problems if there was a rule that said "offensive tweets are punishable by government institutions"?

This guy rocketed into some of our awareness with that tweet, but the tweet in a vacuum isn't the harassment and/or thing that has people uneasy at KSU.

But he’s staying in the conversation because a lot of folks are still demanding a pound of flesh. Kicking that guy out is still the only actual proposal I’ve seen from the crowd who says the University’s latest steps aren’t going far enough.

Yes! Do you consider the university not granting America First Students official club status (or whatever) a "punishment"? What about giving them money for bringing in speakers?

Definitely a closer call, IMO. Could go either way, really.
I personally don't care much about the student groups/speaker issue though. No skin off my nose if K-State isn't doling out money to student groups because it doesn't agree with their message. Just not an issue that would bother me very much.

Personally I don't think there is anything to solve. Racist speech should not be punished by the government.
Why not?
Wow
Please sit this out, at the very least until I can get an answer to my question and I can rebut before you freak out about nothing. Thanks.
Because I believe that freedom of speech is the cornerstone of a free society. Yes, there are some pretty specific limitations mostly dealing with breaking the law. I understand that you want to file racism in that category as well but it comes dangerously close to thought crime and that's just not something I can support.
If a person is being threatening or harrasing, that's a different discussion.
I feel like your last sentence is trying to have your cake and eat it too. We rightly have a very broad definition of what's considered gender based harassment, why is it okay to narrow that definition for race? A large part of the reasoning for broadening of the definition of sexual harassment was because it was thought that women weren't being allowed to work and study in environments that weren't openly hostile. What I'm hearing when someone uses the term like "thought crime" is that I don't have the right to walk into my place of work without seeing KKK posters, because your right to put those posters up where I can see them everyday, is more important. Also you're allowing the potential harasser to dictate what they view as harassment. Let's say I walk out of Kedzie Hall and skinhead, ss arm bands, iron cross tattoos, and all walks up to me and says "hey spook, I know who you are and you better watch yourself." Harassment or not? By your definition, it isn't, there was no implied threat. What do you think happens to the university if I report this, they tell me they can't take action because there was no direct or implied threat, then I get either hurt or killed by a skinhead?
As for this specific case, you're getting hung up on the one tweet instead of the history of what this student has done and the environment he's created that led to another student getting a picture of her face in a noose sent to her. He has a documented history of encouraging others to harass other students.

There have been plenty of legal definitions of harassment that falls well short of this, especially in schools and workplaces.

Yes, I do think your scenario is sufficient for harassment. Maybe not enough to do anything legally (not a lawyer), but reporting it would at least be a step in establishing a pattern of targeted behavior if it happens again. At the very least I would think those actions are sufficient to be placed on probation or suspension from violation of university policy.
As far as the kkk posters at your workplace, 1) you have the freedom to not work at a place where that is acceptable. 2)the company has the freedom to not allow that and fire the offender. 3) I'm not sure that's even legal given eeo, which I have no problem with. But once again you're trying to muddle the lines between government censorship and private censorship.

Twitter isn't unique, they are written/typed words and should be legislated the same way any other written/typed words are, which, for the most part, are legislated the same way spoken words are. Also stop it with the term "offensive" this is in part what I'm talking about when I say I wonder if this conversation is happening in good faith. No one thinks you should be thrown out of school for offending someone. Using that very narrow language in one tweet made by someone in the heat of the moment is the same thing as limiting the conversation about Jaden to just the George Floyd tweet. This conversation is about figuring out what constitutes harassment.

You're not nearly close to as clever as you think you are. I haven't said a goddamned thing about being offensive. I live for offending people like you who think that knowing the difference between being offended and being harassed is some erudite thought process.

It’s actually pretty robust. Apparently some folks have already put a lot of thought into this thing:
B. Harassment: In this Policy, the term “harassment” has two different definitions, the application of which depend on where the alleged conduct takes place and its context. Harassment meeting either of these definitions is discrimination.
1. In the work, on-campus housing, or other non-academic environments, “harassment” is:
Conduct toward a person or persons based on race, color, ethnic or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, ancestry, disability, genetic information, military status, or veteran status that:
(a) has the purpose or effect of:
(1) creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment or on-campus housing environment for the person(s); or
(2) unreasonably interfering with the work, or on-campus housing, of the person(s); and
(b) is sufficiently severe or pervasive that it alters the terms, conditions, or privileges of a person’s employment, use of on-campus housing, academic opportunities or participation in university-sponsored activities.
2. In the academic environment, “harassment” is:
Conduct toward a person or persons based on race, color, ethnic or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, ancestry, disability, genetic information, military status, or veteran status that:
(a) has the purpose and effect of:
(1) creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational environment for the person(s); or
(2) unreasonably interfering with the academic performance or participation in any university-sponsored activity of the person; or
(3) threatening the academic opportunities of the person; and
(b) is sufficiently severe or pervasive that it alters the terms, conditions, or privileges of the person’s academic opportunities or participation in university-sponsored activities.
Whether conduct is sufficient to constitute “harassment” is evaluated under the totality of the circumstances, including the frequency of the conduct, its severity, whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or merely an offensive utterance. These factors are evaluated from both subjective and objective viewpoints, considering not only effect that conduct actually had on the person, but also the impact it would likely have had on a reasonable person in the same situation. The conduct must subjectively and objectively meet the definition to be “harassment” to be a violation of this Policy. Repeated incidents, even where each would not, on its own, constitute harassment, may collectively constitute harassment.
Depending on the circumstances, some occurrences may require evaluation under both definitions.

The conversation turned to the tweet:
A lot of racist speech is threatening or harassing. I think Jaden's tweet comes pretty close to harassment.
Then Rusty went on about how the tweet probably constitutes harassment. Hence -- my question regarding twitter and offensive tweets. I promise I'm not discussing any of this in bad faith. I'm just trying to track the conversation as best I can.
FTR, I do think Jaden giving a call to arms to his trolls in an effort to get them to brigade k-state students probably fits the definition of harassment.

People pretty clearly feel harassed by the tweet and Jayden pretty clearly doesn't care. I'm really not sure how one could come to the conclusion that the tweet wasn't intended to harass a specific segment of the population.

And that's where the disagreement is I guess -- I don't think anyone felt "harassed" by the tweet, at least not without taking an extreme view of what "harassment" is. I think they came upon the tweet (likely via retweet through someone they follow) and felt offended (which makes sense, given that it was a very offensive tweet).
If McNeil tweeted that @ a black student, I think that's closer to harassment. If McNeil walked up to a black student he didn't know and made that joke, then I think that's closer to harassment. If he walked up to the same student every day and made that same joke, then I think it's pretty clear.

Is a tweet of "I love looking at big tits in sundresses" specifically harrass a segment of the population?
I don't think so. If it was tweeted during mass riots related to big tits in sundresses, athletes were felt harassed to the point that they decide to just not play sports anymore, and the person who made the tweet organized and runs a hate group, I think I would reconsider, though.

Or if Harvey Weinstein tweeted about tits in sundresses, that would be harassment.

So because #metoo has fallen out of the media spotlight, it's no longer harassment? That's certainly an interesting argument.

The media doesn't have much to do with it. If you want to start an incel group, more power to you, but when you start tweeting about women, the women who know you are going to feel harassed.

Does it get immediate traction? Does he double down? Does he ask his followers to retaliate against the athletes protesting or twitter accounts who lashed out at him for the tweet? Kansas State University has 22,000 students, what are the odds that Jaden is the only one of them that has either tweeted or retweeted something distasteful about BLM, or George Floyd, or Breonna Taylor, or any other black person killed by the police? Of course not, I'm sure It has happened since. The talking point that the university should acted on that tweet alone is incredibly frustrating, and even more frustrating that so many people are falling for this obvious shell game.

so what does Jadens past tweets look like? is there a pattern of tweets that could reasonably be seen as offensive in a race perspective? i dont follow the kid and have no clue if this was a first offense or a repeated behavior. i am starting to come around to the idea that this kids past writings and speakings could create an entity that instills fear in others by his use of language which has been reflected by others who are racist.

To be fair, people in this thread were suggesting that he ought to be given the boot based on the tweet.
I don't really follow the non-bolded part of your post. Obviously if Greg made the tweet it wouldn't gain as much traction or elicit the same response, largely because Greg doesn't have the notoriety on campus that McNeil has, and also doesn't have the already established reputation McNeil has. We definitely agree there. Help me get to the point you're making. Is it the established pattern of McNeil's words and associations that warrant him being expelled?

Looking beyond The Tweet to the totality of McNeil's misdeeds, as summarized by Trim's article:
Among the significant new findings from McNeil’s brief activist history:
Jaden McNeil has been involved with, not two, but four different participants in the murderous white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
White nationalists provided even more guidance to McNeil in the formation of America First Students at Kansas State University than IREHR originally reported.
McNeil was warned by conservative peers about aligning with a “Nazi” like Nick Fuentes, but chose to ignore the warnings.
McNeil’s attendance at the Groyper Leadership Summit in December 2019, an event organized by white nationalists Nick Fuentes and Patrick Casey, has been further confirmed. McNeil is also scheduled to attend the white nationalist-organized America First Political Action Conference on February 28.
McNeil has amplified white nationalists on social media, repeatedly sharing white nationalist content to his followers.
McNeil interned with a “politically incorrect” podcast that was promoted by the founder of the Proud Boys. He also posted photos of himself flashing the “OK” hand signal at a political rally, a sign popularized by the Proud Boys, and designated a racist symbol by the Anti-Defamation League.
McNeil made crude homophobic comments, calling the LGBTQ+ community “degenerates” and using an anti-LGBTQ+ slur during an interview. He has also expressed hostility towards diversity and immigrants.
Replace "white nationalist" with "socialist" and you have a starkly similar list of offenses that were initially punishable in the early 20th century but eventually lead to the development of the First Amendment as we know it today. Replace "socialist" with "terrorist" and you see how these battles are playing out in the 21st century.
Why do we as a society insist on protecting shitheads like Jaden? To protect shitheads like you (plural) and me. Your rights are my rights. That is why it is imperative that we protect the ability of others to hold and profess ideas that we hate; sometimes, we might hold and profess ideas that others hate.

I guess you don’t remember Kool Kats Klub girl. To be fair, I wouldn’t expect you to since she had no sort of reputation or notoriety until she shared one bad racist joke. But rest assured, she was skewered even when there weren’t widespread protests about race going on in the background.

While this is true, I feel like making what should have happened to Jaden about one tweet is a losing proposition, is a losing proposition and minimizing the magnitude of needing to protect minority students from harassment on the basis of their race. This will just be a never-ending cycle of whataboutism with theoretical tweets about god knows what. The larger conversation is more important, IMO, and talking about one tweet makes it very easy for most people to completely ignore the larger conversation.
So MIR i'm sincerely asking you this in good faith, but what do you think should be done? What does justice being done on Jaden look like?
He should have been expelled.
My biggest problem with reducing this to one tweet is that, let's say it wasn't Jaden that tweeted that George Floyd tweet, but it was our buddy Greg. Does this shake out the way that it did? Does it get immediate traction? Does he double down? Does he ask his followers to retaliate against the athletes protesting or twitter accounts who lashed out at him for the tweet? Kansas State University has 22,000 students, what are the odds that Jaden is the only one of them that has either tweeted or retweeted something distasteful about BLM, or George Floyd, or Breonna Taylor, or any other black person killed by the police? Of course not, I'm sure It has happened since. The talking point that the university should acted on that tweet alone is incredibly frustrating, and even more frustrating that so many people are falling for this obvious shell game.
I guess you don’t remember Kool Kats Klub girl. To be fair, I wouldn’t expect you to since she had no sort of reputation or notoriety until she shared one bad racist joke. But rest assured, she was skewered even when there weren’t widespread protests about race going on in the background.
I mean look at the similarities here: https://www.kstatecollegian.com/2017/10/17/students-social-media-post-referencing-kkk-sparks-online-outrage/
I’d post gems if I weren’t on a phone. But there is ample evidence to believe this current situation is, indeed, mostly about one tweet.
-
do you guys ever say, "pass it, don't harass it"?

We're the socialists of earlier times celebrating the deaths of others based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or anything else that is part of the basic identity of those around them?
How do you define socialists?

To be fair, people in this thread were suggesting that he ought to be given the boot based on the tweet.
I don't really follow the non-bolded part of your post. Obviously if Greg made the tweet it wouldn't gain as much traction or elicit the same response, largely because Greg doesn't have the notoriety on campus that McNeil has, and also doesn't have the already established reputation McNeil has. We definitely agree there. Help me get to the point you're making. Is it the established pattern of McNeil's words and associations that warrant him being expelled?
Yeah, like I said several times, it isn't about a tweet it's about a pattern of behavior that's surely to escalate.

Yes, I remember. It affirms that the outcry about Jaden isn't about one tweet or one off color picture. She was even convinced not to quit school. If jaden threatened to quit the administration would open Anderson Hall up at 3:30 AM on a Sunday to expunge his record.
This dude is a disease, the university found the herpes after a particularly bad flare up and decided to let it play itself out without taking penicillin.

It really doesn’t reaffirm your point. That girl caught the same flack despite immediately and repeatedly apologizing, and folks were voicing the same concerns about the comfort level of minorities at KSU. The most obvious distinction is the fact that Jaden’s tweet came in the midst (if not the apex) of a worldwide reform movement, which prompted a much stronger push against the university as well as a much stronger response.
Looking back at KKK girl, I feel like Jaden has actually been treated better so far simply because he’s viewed as a threat.
Conservatives and progressives have dug into a tribal culture where you’re much more likely to get railroaded if you don’t have allies.

You missed the point, that's okay, it was a long post. I have summarized it in one sentence about a dozen times in this thread, but whatever.
You can't possibly think that "Jaden has actually been treated better." The guy had an entire university athletic department protesting his existence, KKK girl had some people mad on twitter for a weekend.

While the public (social media) backlash may have been similar, the difference in action from the administration in the two cases is noteworthy.

The social media backlash wasn't similar either. The engagement of his each of his tweets are in the thousands. The George Floyd tweet had well over 20,000 replies before it was taken down.
BTW, he's still antagonizing the university and students on the campus and bringing his lunatic followers right along with them. These are the same people who sent a noose tweet to Chrisianna Carr. There is no way this ends well, Dick Myers will have the inevitable unfortunate incident on his hands, he'll get to retire and no one will care.

just checked his twitter account. i'm not sure how anyone couldn't agree he is antagonizing a lot of people. it may not be all directed at ksu students but he does respond to KSU related accounts among others. and as stated previously when he responds to someone all his rodents follow up with subsequent harassment as well. HE's a piece of crap and we need to find a way to get rid of him

Without addressing this particular instance of racism and how it might hypothetically play out in America, you are correct that the First Amendment is indeed exceptional among Western democracies. There's even a scholarly term for this phenomenon--First Amendment Exceptionalism. Here's a good comparative constitutional law article outlining the subject: https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1360&context=mlr
-
A 12 year old shouldn't have access to social media of any kind, and parents should be held responsible for their children's post if they do allow them to post.
-
12 year olds also shouldn't be racist pieces of crap and probably wouldn't be if their parents didn't teach them to be that way.
-
12 year olds also shouldn't be racist pieces of crap and probably wouldn't be if their parents didn't teach them to be that way.
12 year old kids aren't that good about thinking for themselves. Either the parents are openly racist or the kid's friends are (because of their parents).
-
12 year olds also shouldn't be racist pieces of crap and probably wouldn't be if their parents didn't teach them to be that way.
Yes, or they are learning it on social media. Either way, it's irresponsible for a 12 year old to be using social media.
-
It's a 12yr old edge lord going for shock value and attention
-
Or just being a stupid idiot thinking he’s funny. (Maybe that’s the same thing.)
I don’t think a 12 year old should face punitive prison/jail time for really anything. I could really only see it if they are legitimately considered a threat to public safety, which would rule out pretty much all the keyboard warriors/racists.

Clearly none of you have played COD online if you think 12 year olds are picking up negative traits from either their parents or friend's parents.

They take that stuff seriously over there. Generally when someone gets arrested for publicly being racist, they get community service, I can't imagine how this will be different.

Being a threat to public safety isn't the standard for charging people for racial abuse over there. He's not going to jail, but he should be punished for breaking the law. 12 year olds absolutely know what racism is, their targets, whether it's a classmate or a professional football star, certainly knows what racism is.
In this country we seem to soft pedal and easily forgive racism, without regard for the need of the offender to learn hard lessons about their actions or without considerations of the victims of the abuse. One of my children, when she was seven was told by a classmate, "shut up or I'll make you pick cotton." Do you think my kid cared whether or not this boy learned it from his parents or not? By the way, the administration just made excuses for the kid and there were no repercussions, this was with my wife teaching in the same building.
-
If the 7 year old hit your kid would you have been calling for him to be arrested?

The kid is going to get community service and cops there don't have guns, so yeah, the kid wasn't in danger of getting Tamar Rice'd.
My actual issue with catastrophe's question is that he seems to think that a 7 year old should be held to the same behavioral standards as a 12 year old, that's laughably ignorant.

Harassment is harassment, regardless of if it's "hey coon", "hey fattie", "hey towelhead", or whatever. Applying a racial component does not negate the harassment. I honestly have no idea how you came to think that's my belief.
Is the line you're trying to draw here is it's only harassment if the repeated taunts are directed to one solitary person instead of a group of people? Or are you attempting to say that tweets should have a different standard than spoken word?
Well I very much disagree there
The EEOC explicitly calls out offensive jokes. I realize the EEOC doesn't have jurisdiction here but it's a pretty clear definition.
https://www.eeoc.gov/harassment
And that goes back to our initial disagreement that the university has any responsibility to shield students (adults) from speech they don't like, particularly when it doesn't even happen on campus.
Also, I truly do not understand the not feeling safe because of this guy being enrolled. I don't mean that to be dismissive at all. I try to look though other people's eyes to understand their perspective and it's just not clicking here. To me, the jaden dude is in far more danger from the student body as a whole than any student is in danger from him.
Personally I don't think there is anything to solve. Racist speech should not be punished by the government.
Why not?
Because I believe that freedom of speech is the cornerstone of a free society. Yes, there are some pretty specific limitations mostly dealing with breaking the law. I understand that you want to file racism in that category as well but it comes dangerously close to thought crime and that's just not something I can support.
If a person is being threatening or harrasing, that's a different discussion.
-
Let me try this from a different direction, this all started because you feel racist speech should be illegal. Is there any circumstance that (you feel) racist speech should not be against the law?
-
To answer your question though, yes targeting and repetition make a harassment case stronger. I don't know that without targeting you could make a legal case. As for what if's, I don't really know what the absolute line is. Wearing a swastika shirt to class every day would rise to some level of learning disruption for other students and I I'm honestly split. If it's a guy wearing a swastika shirt walking down Moro everyday, then I'm absolutely certain that I don't want any legal consequences for that behavior. If that same guy is walking down Moro and comments "another coon" any time he passes a black person, well I really don't know what to do about that the same as I don't know what to do about someone pointing out all the overweight people with "another fattie".
Tweets are slightly different in that they are more of a public forum (the Moro sidewalk), but can also be used much more personally. I don't necessarily think they should be held to a different standard, but it should also be acknowledged that no one is forced to see your tweets (unless @'d).
-
To answer your first question/post. Race, like gender are protected classes under the law already (weight obviously is not). If your default is to have a broad interpretation of what racist language should be protected then you are essentially allowing for all racist language should be protected. Yes, I think the scope of what racist language is allowed should be significantly narrowed. Almost all racist language, by nature can very credibly be viewed as threatening. If you don't think that students should be able to attend a public university without being subjected to racism, I don't know the circumstance in which you won't allow it, which is unacceptable because there are plenty of cases of where racism is not legal.
No, I can't think of a single case where racist language either isn't intentionally isn't used to intimidate or wouldn't be reasonably deemed threatening. The history of racism in the world is overwhelmingly violent. Should we just ignore that because you (general) are scared that someone will try to get you arrested or fired for saying that Beyonce is ugly and a shitty singer?
Hope I answered your question, I may not have.

I have always agreed with the statement "you do not have the right to not be offended" and i don't think i will ever change my mind on that. However, i do believe that you have the right to not be threatened. I think the problem is that in the vast majority of instances there is so much gray area between offended and threatened there is no way it could possibly be legislated.
-
A lot of racist language is merely offensive to me, but threatening to others.
-
i agree 100%. so who gets to be the standard bearer? Is there a standard or is the only requirement that someone says they feel threatened? Beyond that, how do you prove an emotion in a court of law?

Thank you. I knew exactly where this was going to lead, and I've been waiting for it.
By the way I don't ever believe I've defended my right to call anyone a honkey, cracker, or peckerwood. It doesn't need to be defended any more than calling someone an idiot or a dumb ass, or a fat headed freak.
7, I don't actually hope that you don't think calling someone a cracker does or should carry the same weight as calling someone an actual racial slur. You know those that only mean one thing, those that are abhorrent in every context. The argument you seem to be making is akin to calling nude statues pornography. I'm trying to be patient here, but you couldn't have a more privileged viewpoint on this if you tried. You keep trying to divorce the violent history of racism in this country from this conversation. It's important to establishing why using this language shouldn't be legally tolerated.
The ability to use the word honkey has never and will never be used to rally people to commit acts of violence against others like words like n-word, spic, kike, chink, etc.
-

You don't have to prove emotion, that's a fool's errand, and frankly an impossible standard that we don't apply to other laws regarding language, intent is the standard.
You don't have to actually be scared if someone tells you they are going to shoot you in the head. You're not exempt from punishment if you scream fire in a crowded movie theatre and everyone isn't scared. Perjury is still perjury even if you profess that you're telling a joke.
I've showed you all in this thread that other countries, even whiter than this one, have laws against hate speech on the books, and it's enforced. People aren't walking around on pins and needles wondering if they're going to get arrested for dressing up like 1980's Michael Jackson. I'm really wondering what the hesitation is. Is it that difficult to legislate even the slightest bit of decency in America?

Racism is a belief system, not an action, so power is not required. Jesus Christ people. It may not have teeth (yet) if a powerless person has a racist belief system, but it's still rough ridin' racism. GTFO with the critical race bullshit

From my perspective, you're actually defending racism. Hatred of a human, solely due to their race, is racism. It's dangerous in all forms, all they need is a gun or a home made bomb to prove me right. To say otherwise only gives the green light to a group of people to form racist thoughts.

You don't have to prove emotion, that's a fool's errand, and frankly an impossible standard that we don't apply to other laws regarding language, intent is the standard.
You don't have to actually be scared if someone tells you they are going to shoot you in the head. You're not exempt from punishment if you scream fire in a crowded movie theatre and everyone isn't scared. Perjury is still perjury even if you profess that you're telling a joke.
I've showed you all in this thread that other countries, even whiter than this one, have laws against hate speech on the books, and it's enforced. People aren't walking around on pins and needles wondering if they're going to get arrested for dressing up like 1980's Michael Jackson. I'm really wondering what the hesitation is. Is it that difficult to legislate even the slightest bit of decency in America?
So what's your stance on the Nation of Islam and their doctrine?

In this very thread (I think it was) you defended your right to call posters on this board honkey, so I have to think you think some racist speech is acceptable.
you could argue that's prejudiced but not racist
the argument being
racism = prejudice + power
Thank you. I knew exactly where this was going to lead, and I've been waiting for it.
By the way I don't ever believe I've defended my right to call anyone a honkey, cracker, or peckerwood. It doesn't need to be defended any more than calling someone an idiot or a dumb ass, or a fat headed freak.
7, I don't actually hope that you don't think calling someone a cracker does or should carry the same weight as calling someone an actual racial slur. You know those that only mean one thing, those that are abhorrent in every context. The argument you seem to be making is akin to calling nude statues pornography. I'm trying to be patient here, but you couldn't have a more privileged viewpoint on this if you tried. You keep trying to divorce the violent history of racism in this country from this conversation. It's important to establishing why using this language shouldn't be legally tolerated.
The ability to use the word honkey has never and will never be used to rally people to commit acts of violence against others like words like n-word, spic, kike, chink, etc.
No, I don't think honkey, etc is equivalent. On a 7 point racist speech scale it's a .1, but it still is on the scale. I honestly wasn't trying to do a gotcha or call you a hypocrite.
I don't think we are going to find common ground on this, but I do think it's an interesting viewpoint that has given me more thought on the issue. I read a variety of political bbs's and this is the first time I've seen someone advocate for it in the US.

So the most dyed in the wool hardcore nazi is no longer a racist in Israel. Cool.
No, that person would be anti-Semitic. :gocho:
but seriously, it's an interesting scenario. I think due to the history and global balance of power Jews are not fully "in power" like whites in America are. I'd suggest reading more, you seem uncomfortable and unwilling to think a little more deeply about things.
From my perspective, you're actually defending racism. Hatred of a human, solely due to their race, is racism. It's dangerous in all forms, all they need is a gun or a home made bomb to prove me right. To say otherwise only gives the green light to a group of people to form racist thoughts.
If you want to argue that currently, in the US, white racism is more dangerous than a POC's racism against white people? I would agree.
Mich’s definition of racism is pretty well accepted, but that doesn’t make it a good lens for determining how we should regulate/condemn speech. If anything it highlights the problems with having a law that prohibits “racist” speech.
It is, however, very useful for appreciating why prejudice against minorities is particularly problematic vs prejudice generally.
-

I don't think that definition of racism is "well accepted" at all. I think a lot of people would argue (including myself) that someone can do or say something racist, regardless of whether or not that someone (or his demographic) has any power at all.
I think Mich's definition has more to do with the concept of institutional racism -- which (at least from my understanding) is a more particularized form of the umbrella term "racism."

Yeah sure but that distinction isn’t all that important cause you’re just saying all racial prejudice is racist. As long as you understand that your “institutional racism” equals my “racism” then it doesn’t need to slow down whatever conversation we’re having about race.

But it does slow it down, imo, because we have different definitions of the same thing and that thing is what's trying to be combated. If we're drafting a law that prohibits "racist speech" then it's important to understand what "racist speech" contemplates.
I don't think "racist speech" should be prohibited but I also especially don't think we should prohibit (or legally define/apply) "racist speech" as contingent on the race of the listener or speaker. A law like that would seem racially discriminatory on its face.

It's not just anti-Semitism. It's also their promotion of racial segregation, anti-LGBT, and black supremacy. But I can understand why you'd want to dodge this question considering your viewpoints on free speech would have all these black people thrown into jail.

Yes, because my views on LGBT rights and segregation are within question for anyone who've read more than three of any message board post I've ever had. What the eff is your point? Did I say that black people can't be racist or have abhorrent views? eff outta here with this stupidity.
You're actually too stupid to understand that you don't nor should get thrown in jail for everything that's illegal. Go rough ridin' read a book and stop making this conversation dumber.

No article has been able to identify just how many players are a part of this PAC-12 thing. The CBS article waits until the last paragraph to note that they really don't rough ridin' know.

While the story published by The Players Tribune does not specify how many players are involved, one anonymous staff member at a Pac-12 program told ESPN the group could consist of hundreds of players from several different Pac-12 schools.

there are like 10 things on that list that are either completely off the wall or against ncaa regs. there's no possibility of even compromising on anything close to that list.

OT, but explains how important football is to the P5. Seems like they are about to tell the NCAA to kiss their ass goodbye.
"The TV ratings of those games is the answer to your question," Carparelli said. "The average bowl game rates higher than the best regular-season college basketball games. That's a fact."
This in a way explains how important a basketball power like KU is to P5 football. Kind of like a tick on a dog's ass.

No college sport has a multi year guarantee, it's why the national letter of intent program is so completely rough ridin' foul

The fact they can pull a scholarship from these players is a very good reason they should be able to transfer to another school without permission or penalty.

“I feel like we’ve built a base of 200-300 leaders,” Cooper said. “And now, all of those leaders are empowered with the information and inform their teammates to join this as well.”
“There’s technically not one person running the show,” said Washington State’s Dallas Hobbs. “It’s a collective of people who really want to create change in their school, but around the whole Pac-12.”
The group chat now has 400 members. One of the members, Treyjohn Butler of Stanford, started communicating with players around the country in July about their schools’ commitment to social justice after the killing of George Floyd. “We wanted to speak up about social injustice at first and felt our schools were silent,” Butler said. “Schools posted about Black Lives Matter and called it a day.”

Also the Baylor O line coach got fired because there are black face photos of him from when he played at Auburn. They are on thedirty.com from years ago.
