  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

Actually, Nazis were socialists and were early green socialists in the sense discussed today, as the book Green Tyranny documents. "Few know today that the Nazis were the first political party to champion wind power, Hitler calling wind the energy of the future."

Oh my! Doing some reading on that "book" it appears that Mr. Darwall is espousing conspiracy theory instead of history. A quick Google search shows that the only source for this Godwining of wind energy appears to be... Darwall's "book".

It's funny that you can't see it. It is like you're looking in a mirror, but can't see the reflection. Quite sad.

The God of Christianity cannot lie, it is contrary to His nature, I find comfort in that truth.

Gay whites are seen as allies by the campus left. White students are held down in the sense that they're told their ancestors were racists and that white students are beneficiaries of white privilege. They must bear the guilt burden. Since any type of Euro-student center or emphasis would be seen as racist on campus, white supremacy from the outside has filled the vacuum. Christianity could fill the vacuum, but its activities are restricted on campus.

If you don't mind me asking, do you know this from personal experience, or is this "common knowledge"?

Sorry. No conspiracy. I have the book in hand. See these pages.

It seems somewhat evident in the news. And yes, I've seen a little of it first-hand. A black student told me that racism was passed on to children through their parents, even if the children came to know better as adults. On a broader note, Gore Vidal once argued that Jews, blacks, and gays needed to "join forces in order not to be destroyed" by Christians, presumably white Christians.

That's a Conservative advocacy group, not a news source.

I don't know what any of that has to do with white students being "held down" and the claims you made. As far as Christianity on campus goes, I checked out my alma mater and there are 6 different Christian organizations officially recognized by the university.

I think the increasing presence of white supremacists on campus is not something borne of the student body, I think they're mostly outsiders. That is wholly different from on-campus discourse seen on college campuses. If anything, I think the right-wing college students like to flirt with white supremacy without going full hog. They often flirt with it under the guise of free speech, but my attitude is if they really are all about free speech, why don't they invite some Hoteps or Black Israelites on campus?

I imagine that it's because the positions those groups advocate is already pretty well represented by the professors themselves.

I never understood these claims of Christian persecution on campus, the Christian groups have always been active. At every university I have attended or worked, there has always been an active Christian group, and no one is attacking them. There are six organizations at my undergraduate institution; and I know there are more than my cursory Google Search because there were some I didn't see there. And that also doesn't include the students that have their own Bible study groups.

But maybe we should now claim that people that suggest there is Christian persecution, whether true or not, are anti-Christian, we all know that claim is made for people that identify white supremacy. :rolleyes:

Lol white supremacy? I gave three examples...a racist professor claiming all whites cannot be trusted because they're violent, a racist professor who casually jokes about white genocide, and another racist professor who thinks that all whites are white supremacists and the only solution to this is for them to stop having children.

While I don't like the idea of racists promoting racist ideology by spreading flyers on campus....it pales in comparison to the problem of racist professors spreading racist ideology in the classroom.

Christian groups are allowed to stay on secular campuses as long as they go along with the ideology prompted on these campuses. If these groups challenge the ideology, especially related to homosexuality or Christianity as the one true way, their presence on campus could be challenged, and has been in some cases,

Given what follows, that post of yours was deeply misleading. Yes, the article was indeed published. But the fact that the newspaper fired the writer and disavowed the article undermines your implication that this view is widespread on the left.

Editors of the Texas State University Star told readers "we screwed up" this week after publishing an opinion column that called whiteness "an abomination."

Under the headline "Your DNA is an abomination," columnist Rudy Martinez wrote, "I hate you [whites] because you shouldn't exist. You are both the dominant apparatus on the planet and the void in which all other cultures, upon meeting you, die."

The student newspaper immediately faced backlash for publishing the column, and removed it from its website. In an editorial Thursday, the paper's editors said Martinez had been fired.

We need a modicum of responsibility in this debate. The publication was an aberration - something that slipped through the cracks.

Further to my last post, I suggest that there is a discernible difference between the "left" and the "right" on this. The "left" - in the USA at least - is not really that far left. But, more importantly, when someone on the left goes rogue and says or writes something crazy, there is generally a corrective reaction from other members of the left. Not so with the Alex Jones crowd - they tend, I suggest, to double-down on the nuttiness when it is exposed.

That backlash began decades ago. It's called "college Republicans".

This is white supremacists aiming for some market share now that the current administration is normalizing their "brand."

College Republicans are not a backlash against PC culture. :mmh:

Also, Trump isn't responsible for the alt-right. If I were to assign any sort of relation to the two, I'd say it was the opposite way around, and even then I'd say that's stretching it. Trump is simply a symptom of a backlash, along with the alt-right, but they are not the same thing.

So they become supremacists?

Oh, they jumped that shark nigh-on half-a-decade ago. There is a dedicated, entrenched corner of the Progressive wing which demonizes straight white men similar to the way the Klan and other racists stereotype blacks.

Want a trip down the rabbit hole? Have fun: You searched for white - The College Fix

While it is a conservative leaning site, but it does cite their sources quite well.

And yes, that is 457 pages of results.

Every public school organization must adhere to non-discrimination laws, it is not a matter of college campuses, it is a matter of law. You can't get state funds and then discriminate against a group of people. Every public school organization follows this. I do not know why there are Christians that believe the law applies to others, but not to them.

I think it's a misnomer to argue that white supremacist groups targeting college campuses is somehow a backlash when they're not part of the university community. One of the organizations listed has been connected to five murders in the last year, are we really arguing that those ideas and groups were started on college campuses in response to liberals? Well, you said it.
