With what do you disagree? All I am asking is that the group abide by its own policy.
I don't think this is about barring a group in the sense of telling them they can't meet, have their club rules, pray however they want, or whatever. This is about whether they meet the standard (which, in this instance, is just a matter of meeting the group's OWN standard) for receiving funds and having certain official privileges as an official student group.
Maybe so, but surely you agree that in the USA at the present time, the overwhelming majority of the "hate / racism" is coming from the right? That is not to excuse the problems on the left, but rather to gain perspective.
Nice fan faction. White supremacists have increased their presence on college campuses, so we get a false claim of BLM being the New Black Panther Party, despite that group not having a presence on college campuses... it's like a weird form of whataboutism. Let's ignore the group connected to five murders and try to smear BLM with claims it is the Black Panthers."I hate white people. All of them. Every last iota of a cracker, I hate it. We didn't come out here to play today. There's too much serious business going on in the black community to be out here sliding through South Street with white, dirty, cracker ***** ******* on our arms, and we call ourselves black men. … What the **** is wrong with you black man? You at a doomsday with a white girl on your **** arm. We keep begging white people for freedom! No wonder we not free! Your enemy cannot make you free, fool! You want freedom? You going to have to kill some crackers! You going to have to kill some of their babies!"
— King Samir Shabazz, head of the Black Panthers Philadelphia chapter, in a National Geographic documentary, January 2009
Back in 2014, BLM sponsored a panel discussion on “Policing, Race, and Injustice,” featuring a talk by former New Black Panther Party chairman Malik Shabazz. That's the same Malik Shabazz I quoted above who has openly advocated a race war in America; who has exhorted blacks to avenge police shootings of African Americans by creating “funeral in the police community”; who refers to “the white man” as black people's “common enemy”; who characterizes America's founders as nothing more than a loathsome pack of “Indian killers, slave traders, [and] slave owners”; and who praised Osama bin Laden after 9/11 as a Muslim “brother” and “a bold man” who was bravely “standing up” for his beliefs and “bringing reform to this world.”
You see, Black Lives Matter was established in 2013 in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman, the “white Hispanic” who was tried for murder and manslaughter for the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin. According to BLM, Zimmerman's act was but a microcosm of the “virulent anti-Black racism” that “permeates our society” and continues to exacerbate “the deep psychological wounds of slavery, racism and structural oppression.”
Yep.... BLM is a militant group based off, or spun off of the black panthers. The Founder of BLM is Alicia Garza, a young woman who wholeheartedly reveres Assata Shakur
the Marxist revolutionary, former Black Panther, and convicted cop-killer whose 1979 escape to Cuba was facilitated by the Weather Underground Organization and the Black Liberation Army.
Another of BLM's co-founders, Patrisse Cullors, is a self-identified “freedom fighter” who advocates dramatically “reducing the law-enforcement budget” and forcing some police departments to be entirely “disbanded or abolished.” “With a reduction of law-enforcement money,” ... “we can then be putting it back into Black communities”—as in, government-funded programs that provide “black folks” with “jobs,” “housing,” and “healthy food.” In other words, a Marxist paradise filled with dutiful slaves who are entirely dependent upon Washington.
The third and final co-founder of BLM, Opal Tometi, is a “Black feminist writer” and “cultural organizer” who contends that “the racist structures that have long oppressed Black people” perpetuate a “cycle of oppression” that “allows law enforcement to kill Black people at nearly the same rate as Jim Crow lynchings” once occurred in the Old South.
Others whom Garza (The original founder) praises for their “extraordinary” accomplishments include:
Angela Davis (a Marxist and former Black Panther)
BLM maintains that:
(a) our nation's “corrupt democracy” was originally “built on Indigenous genocide and chattel slavery” and “continues to thrive on the brutal exploitation of people of color”
(b) “the ugly American traditions of patriarchy, classism, racism, and militarism” pervade every aspect of our society
(c) “structural oppression” still “prevents so many from realizing their dreams”
(d) blacks in the U.S. are routinely “de-humaniz[ed]” and targeted for “extrajudicial killings … by police and vigilantes” in our “white supremacist system.”
Onto the stage enters the SJW's and ANTIFA. With this came the mainstream practice and proselytising of "white shaming" and "male demonstration". From 2012 on to current day, whites have been the target of every learning institution, liberal ideology, and even media platforms. Until in present day it is taught that all males are rapists, and all whites are racist.
The tactics in use suggest that racial reconciliation is not the goal, but rather instead inducing a feeling of learned helplessness. In hopes that if some spend years and years being attacked about something over which they have no control, (being white or male) sooner or later they will surrender and just look about for the easiest way to make it stop so that they can go on living there life. Aka: capitulation.
Not to worry, the people wielding the clubs, and beating you in the streets are here to help! You can atone for your whiteness by being 'liberal'. You must accept that being born white inherently makes you racist, and since you were born with a penis you are definitely a rapist. although, frankly, that might not be enough. You have to be willing to proselytize others into liberalism as well, and have them share in the shame of being born white.
This falls right in line with the NBPP racist ideology that whites are evil, and the feminist veiw of SJW's. Mix that together with the Marxist point of views from both BLM and the NBPP you get the high horse ANTIFA sits upon:
Everything white is racist. Everything male is sexest. Everything capitalistic is evil, and "anyone who disagrees is a Nazi that deserves to get punched in the face!" Hence this:
So, in the last decade or so... racist is not a term that means 'someone that disparages other races'. Racist=white. Bigot=hederosexual. Male=sexist. Nazi=Trump supporter. and so on.
Now we have real nazi show up on seen, why? Nazis, Antifa, NBPP have something in common. They hate jews.
In 1993 NBPP organized an event called the National Black Power Summit and Youth Rally, which had around 200 attendees. White supremacist Tom Metzger spoke at the event as a special guest. Although Metzger is no friend of blacks, both he and NBPP members believe that whites and blacks should live in their own separate countries or areas, and that jews are a menace to society.
While still associated with the Nation of Islam, Khalid Abdul Muhammad (Shabazz's predecessor), gave a notorious speech at Kean College in New Jersey. He accused Jews of being responsible for the slave trade, called Jews "bloodsuckers," and asserted that white South Africans should be killed if they refuse to leave South Africa.
"Our lessons talk about the bloodsuckers of the poor… . It's that old no-good Jew, that old imposter Jew, that old hooked-nose, bagel-eating, lox-eating, Johnny-come-lately, perpetrating-a-fraud, just-crawled-out-of-the-caves-and-hills-of-Europe, so-called **** Jew … and I feel everything I'm saying up here is kosher."
— Khalid Abdul Muhammad
Later it was stated:
"Kill every ******* Zionist in Israel! ******* little babies, ******* old ladies! Blow up Zionist supermarkets!"
—Malik Zulu Shabazz,
NBPP members also hold black-supremacist religious beliefs. Some think that blacks are God's true "chosen people" and that the people normally called "Jews" actually are impostors (this ideology is remarkably similar to the white racist theology of Christian Identity, which says whites are God's real chosen people). These individuals believe that blacks are naturally superior to people of other races. The NBPP is notable for its anti-white and anti-Semitic hatred. Its leaders have even blamed Jews for the 9/11 terrorist attacks (this same belief is held by white nationalists), but Khalid Muhammad had previously said that he could not be anti-Semitic because Jews had no claim to the term "Semite."
This leads to the summation. None of the 3 groups mentioned, Marxist anti-capitalist ANTIFA, Marxist Black separatist NBPP, nor the White separatist support this:
"Don't get confused there in Israel: I am currently your biggest friend. My daughter is married to a Jew who is an enthusiastic Israel supporter, and I have taken part in many Israel Day parades. My friendship with Israel is very strong,"
Donald J Trump.
Throw into the mix a heavily contested election where many people are trying to impeach him; you make a pretty big band wagon.
So why the rise in white nationalists on campuses? First off, it makes the news. It has been so emblazoned in the psyche that it is racist to point out racism in minors, that many racist groups go unnoticed, or unreported.
The presence of whitenatonalist further enforces the notion that not being ashamed for being white makes you like them. Racist. If you dare to be proud of whatever heritage you come from, and are white, things are even worse. It helps to codify the epidemic of white shaming and gives an example to whites of why they are so evil. 'See? Only whites are racist. Only whites have committed evil.'
Then there is the ever present racism practiced against whites in universities and institutions. Some people have gotten tired of pretending it's not racist just because it is a black person doing it. Or any minority for that matter.
What's funny is seeing people complain about people perverting their religion and then turn around and squarely say that another group perverting a religion is not actually perverting a religion. Putting "peaceful" in quotes does not change the fact that most followers of Islam are peaceful, are not terrorists, and are not supportive of violence. Such attitudes makes someone's prejudice quite obvious.
Mega-dittoes.
Can you support this claim with evidence? I am somewhat skeptical, although I am open to being convinced otherwise.
The people that make such claims do not have Muslim friends or know any Muslims besides the images the see on TV or read about online. They accept a distorted picture as reality, this is the same reason that some people believe Africa (which they treat as a country) is all undeveloped or that the entire country of Mexico is a "war zone" (as opposed the cartel problems mostly taking place in the northern states). I take it as a statement borne of fear and ignorance of the unknown.
It seems odd to me that a billion Muslims are assumed to have nothing but war-verses written on their hearts in fiery letters, while Christians are assumed to more or less ignore their book in favor of whatever their denomination teaches...
Surely you can understand that this is not very convincing - we need some hard data, not personal impressions. If you could quote a survey that showed, for example, that 50% of Muslims want to see Sharia Law incorporated into the Law of the Land, you would have something.
