College professor being forced off campus due to racist student mob

The Evergreen State College biology professor Bret Weinstein was targeted by vitriolic and aggressive student protests against him this week after he refused to leave campus during a so-called “Day of Absence.” It was a day in which white people were told to stay away from campus so students of color could have a safe space to powwow and commiserate.

That observance was in mid-April, but this week massive protests unfolded against Weinstein after students found out about his conscientious objection to the absence day and his refusal to support their demands for racial reparations.

Videos of these protests show a bunch of mostly white students yelling at this white professor for not leaving campus on the no-whites day. Wrap your head around that.

The College Fix

Combine this with the racist media reportings on the Portland terrorist mentally-ill Berniebro, and it seems to me we have a good dose of racism against white people in this country as of late. Living in Seattle I see racism against white people all the time and it's essentially just accepted as the status-quo. It doesn't matter if you grew up with broken family with broke-ass parents - if you're white, people automatically assume you're privileged and it's always going to be weighted against you. Liberals seem to be the most racist towards white people (despite most of them being white themselves), so it's no surprise that I see it often living in Seattle.

The fact that a no-white's day was actually allowed at this campus is some mind-bending stuff. Can you imagine if a campus held a "no blacks" day?

EDIT: Dave Rubin today (5/31) had this professor as a guest on his show for an interview. Please check it out!

EDIT 2: Joe Rogan (6/2) had this professor as a guest

That's why if I had a company and hiring, I'd skip US college grads and go straight to talent overseas. I don't have time for this crap.

Grabbing popcorn and waiting for people to come and tell you why only black people (maybe women too) have the right to do this because equality something and oppression something else.

Why do they continue with this segregation when they claim their goal is the opposite?

The far left becoming what they hate.

That sounds too stupid to be real. Then again...

This.

That links says nothing about it being a day where white people have to leave.

Martin Luther King : "I have a dream..."

Some student nowadays : I wish there was a way we could like...segregate us so we have a safe space from the others.

@Gaming-Planet: Those are the times we live in far-right and far-left switching places without realising they still sound idiotic.

Another story giving me brain aids.

College is a joke now......

Someone needs to set this man straight. Id protest his class. Clearly he has a lack of understanding others wishes. Maybe a new career path is best for those who cant handle others opinions that differ.

And the reverse of that is true as well....

@LJS9502_basic: Isnt Democracy beautiful?

Yeah but that means the college kids need to grow up......

@LJS9502_basic: They will, thats what college is for, to help them start life.

I'm glad I finished college before all this cancer came along. As long as the real world keeps chewing them up and spitting them out, then I don't really care.

So he ought to change career because he went to work on a day when some students didn't want white people to be at the college?

@jun_aka_pekto: you'd likely be pretty disappointed. I interact with "talent from overseas" daily, and it's the same distribution of shitty/good work ethics as domestic students.

Uh no....college is not going to make immature people grow up. Also growing up=/= starting life.

Which media had racist reporting on him? I'm not saying ti didn't happen, just curious I'd like to see it.

@iandizion713: I'm 30 years old and have only been in college for 2 years. Is college supposed to help me grow up?

I own a house, have a career, have a one year old son, go to school and handle my shit like an adult. But college is going to help me grow up. Right?

Ah, I did not know you lived in Seattle. That suddenly makes soooooooooooo much more sense now. I see why you are so entrenched, you must actually encounter "these types" on a daily basis.

I apologize, I just assumed you were some dude going off of what he heard on the tv or internet lol. I can't imagine being a conservative and living in Seattle, my god...

Still don't agree with you, but damn....props to you.

Anyway, as for your comment, white liberals sort of see it as a duty (and it sort of is, not really, but kind of) due to their position of power and privilege to help make social change. I think that is a fair thing to do. A lot of folks might see that as self-loathing, or hating on their own race, or something like that, but I don't think they really do.

Wow. That's dumb.

He probably had work to do.

Why can't everyone just leave everyone else alone. This sense of fellowship is disgusting.

@nibbin1191: College doesn't help anybody grow up. It's an institution of higher learning, not of coping with real life.

It's probably this part right here.

Day of Absence

On Day of Absence, members of the Evergreen community have choices about how and where to participate.

Off campus, at a community venue, we host a full-day program focusing on allyship and anti-racism work from a majority culture or white perspective.

At the same time, we offer a full-day, on-campus educational and social program designed to address issues from the perspective of people of color.

White people are supposed to participate off campus while black people and other people of color are supposed to participate on campus.

The irony! This "Day of Absence" is the most racist thing I have ever seen.

@nibbin1191: I was too busy gaining technical skills in the Air Force that landed me a career on the outside. And no I wouldn't have thought differently. I learned to grow up because of the way I was raised.

Why did you cut out the part where it says this?

Because of the need for a dedicated space to explore issues of diversity within each of these two perspectives, each program has been designed with a specific community-building objective in mind. And because many of us are mixed, and may not wholly identify ourselves with one community or the other, we invite each person to attend the program of their choice, wherever they feel most comfortable.

So it's pretty clear that it's not a non-white only event, you're free to go to whatever activities you want regardless of your race.

It still seems like a flawed idea and maybe the students were overreacting to the professor (but without actually seeing what he said I can't judge) but it doesn't seem quite as bad as you're trying to make it seem.

I'm not making it seem like anything. Notice how I said "probably". I pointed out the parts where it looks like people think whites are supposed to be off campus and blacks on. This is clearly a case of students misunderstanding their own event, as it's confusion-laden.

Tbh I think the absence day thing is a dumb idea, but the OP's perspective is what really gets me. The guy who stabbed people on that train was a WHITE SUPREMACIST they have photos of him with other group members and evidence on his social media.

Stop disregarding DOMESTIC TERRORISTS (Which is exactly what racist whites committing crimes against minorities are) by just labeling them as crazy one offs.

Also, Bernie-bro? I wouldn't be surprised if he was yelling Trump's name while stabbing those men to death. Google white supremacists at trump rallies and then do the same for Sanders (Who is Jewish btw...)

Yes, thats whats its for, for growing.

There's actually a no whites day on a college campus? As someone who is pretty damn liberal, that's extremely offensive to me. These are the kinds of people that give liberals a bad name.

The far left have gone so far it's wrapping around and becoming hard to distinguish from the extreme right (except replace whites with minority groups).

Just dumb students not understanding what the event they are participating in actually is. :P

there are loonies on both sides getting hung up over "race" and religion, culture, bla bla bla. Meanwhile, the rich guy robs everyone blind all the way to the bank.

Politics in the US has become a hardcore JOKE. Thats what happens when you sell out your media to corporations...who lets face it only look out for their bottom line. To suit this purpose, the corporate media will brainwash and spew propoganda filth over and over again in every which way to confuse/divide people.

Not having a government operated media network is the biggest reason for all the US problems....not saying that it has to be communist propoganda, but when the government owns or controls the media then its much much harder for the rich establishment to go unchecked.

Whoever owns the media is the real king. In this case, you can trace the ownership of the media to huge corporations such as apple, disney, microsoft, exonn mobile, etc etc.

I would have been all like "Sweet! Free day off! Yay racism, but really like **** all you racists. Whatever, I'll be drunk if you need me."

I know someone who does deliberately discard CVs from humanities or arts graduates. STEM students are still fine for the most part.

The dragon has its own tail, as Churchill once said: "The fascists of the future will be called anti-fascists"

@nibbin1191: Whaaat??!! Lol

I'm not taking what you said as a personal attack.

Churchill didn't say that, some pre-nazi white populist did

Weaken the domestic economy by outsourcing because you don't like people's political views within the country that prides freedom of speech. Genius.

Well if you think about it a lot of the geniuses of America are immigrants (non-American born) from overseas such as Nikola Tesla, the Nazi Germany rocket scientists, Albert Einstein, etc.

Where exactly does freedom come in with these students hassling a professor who didn't want to stay out of campus?
