what part of that did you consider "hate" someone who makes me uncomfortable?
hey eastcat, what's the draw to post here? there are, unfortunately, a lot of like minded kansas state places to be how you are on with your fellows. just curious.
KSU is now receiving desist letters from first amendment foundations.Yeah, speaking out against racism is a terrible look. 100% agree.
Great look guys.

Already on the short list of NRA Collegiate Coalition schools with Coal Aggie.
Imagine if this turned k-state into a hotbed of diversity and inclusion?
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.

No maga here, bro. Just a fan of more scholarships for scholars.
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.
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.
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.

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.
I mean, there might be an example out there, but outside of maybe serial killers and war criminals can you think of a “joke” about a recent dead guy that was well received by either end of the political spectrum?
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.
https://www.k-state.edu/today/info/announcement/?id=66060LOL 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?QuoteUniversities have always been places where controversial ideas can be widely shared and discussed.

https://www.k-state.edu/today/info/announcement/?id=66060did 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.

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
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.”
I mean this is so very sad and racist. "Honey grab your gun we got a parade of colored folk walking by the house yelling things."

K-State is doing the right thing. Good lawd some of you people shouldn’t be allowed to run anything. You’d have your entity sued into oblivion in about 4 days.
It's worth getting sued for. Let's say they cut him a check for $600,000. You think that's going to be more than the amount they lose from student recruitment and donations for this guy sticking around and continuing to drag the school into this? $600,000 in tuition, books, room, and board, is literally like 5 students, they've probably already lost that. How much money and reputation damage has already been done? People are sending pictures of the most prominent black woman on campus in a noose. The only way to stop this circus is to get him the hell away from any university association, let him transfer to liberty or oral roberts.
I get the racists wanting the university to do nothing, but business wise, there is no argument for keeping this guy here.
Why was my post deleted?
Did eastcat actually have a post deleted?
If kstate says his behaviors violate the code of conduct then what’s recourse does he have?

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?
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.
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.
Apparently twitter gave him a 12 hour timeout today
