A couple thoughts reading through this diarrhea of words:
The words "fascist" or "fascism" are used
eight times in this short statement, to the point that it really lost any meaning.
>We will not stand for a white supremacist killer on our campus
From my understanding Kyle was going to be an online-only student, so he wasn't going to be on campus anyways - they likely never would have seen him.
I was not familiar with the Greensboro massacre, so I decided to do some casual research through google and wikipedia. Unsurprisingly there are some interesting things that this statement is purposefully leaving out:
- From what I'm reading the protest was not an anti-racism protest, it was a protest organized by the Communist Workers Party for the sake of workers' rights within the local textile industry. Just because it was an area where a lot of those workers was black does not necessarily make this a race-based protest
- The way this statement is worded, you'd think the KKK simply opened fire into the crowd. From what I'm reading it started with protesters throwing rocks at the KKK/Nazis' cars, and things escalated into a firefight between the KKK and the CWP. Nobody's sure who fired the first shot, though a lot of people think it was a KKK guy firing off a warning shot. The point is that it was an absolute shitshow, not as one-sided as portrayed here
- As far as the acquittal goes, the KKK members were acquitted by jury under self-defense. They were then charged at the federal level and acquitted again, though this time seems more like a weird loophole thing - the feds charged them with race-motivated hate crimes, and the defense argued that it was politically-based and not racially-based, therefore the jury acquitted them again. I don't know law for shit so fuck if I know how this should have worked out, so I'll leave it at that
- Some of the KKK and Nazi members (as well as the police and the feds) did get fucked in civil court from this shitshow on behalf of the one protester who died that wasn't part of the CWP, so it's not like there wasn't any justice for what happened
I don't know enough about what all happened to make any clear declarations who was in the right (legally or otherwise) in Greensboro, but I don't think I need to go that deep into how this and the Kenosha riots have very little in common beyond people getting shot and killed in them.
>Student clubs caught dressing up like Charlottesville Nazis
1. What constitutes dressing up specifically like a Charlottesville Nazi, and not just a Nazi? I seem to be behind on Nazi/NeoNazi dress codes.
2. Please provide any proof that this actually happened on campus. I
really wanna see it.
What are the "Students for Socialism" and the "Students for Justice in Palestine"
(What the fuck do you even do for the Justice for Palestine club? Sell brownies and lemonade to send money over to Hamas?) doing signing this document? What do either of those clubs have to do with a supposedly racially motivated hate crime? Like these same people could simply sign under the Multicultural Solidarity Coalition or the MECHA de ASU since they're the ones with the social media account this statement is being posted on.
