An upcoming guest speaker at the University of Memphis is stirring up controversy.

Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of killing two men and wounding another during a Black Lives Matter rally in Wisconsin in 2020 when he was 17 years old.

Some have stated online they plan to protest the event by signing up for free tickets and then not showing up. They are asking others to do the same, so Rittenhouse will have to address an empty room.

Students and local and state leaders are all weighing in on the guest appearance. They say allowing Rittenhouse to appear on a campus whose student body is 40% black makes students uncomfortable and sends the wrong message.

“I was baffled to be honest. This is clearly an event that is here to incite anger amongst a predominantly black college in a predominantly black city where MLK was killed. They knew what they were doing with this,” said Joe Griz, a University of Memphis student.

Democratic representative Antonio Parkinson says this is a learning experience, arguing that first amendment rights must be upheld for everyone’s sake.

“Whether you like Kyle Rittenhouse or not, I abhor him. However, he is a part of our history now, believe it or not. And so, if you have an opportunity to hear while the person is here, take advantage of that opportunity,” said Parkinson. “I also don’t believe that we should be suppressing freedom of speech. I think that, just as we allow Rittenhouse here, other what would be deemed controversial speakers, those that may be African American or others, should be allowed as well.”

And here's where I'm baffled. What does niggery and MLK's assassination have to do with self-defense?

Are niggers and progtards really that threatened by the idea that they'll get righteously smoked if they try to attack someone?

I didn't expect such a based opinion to be shared by a politician.

Kyle will also demonstrate some of his moves to be used on skateboarding fags if they want to play up.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

I know that sound racist but memo to the 40% black males students, if you're against Kyle Rittenhouse, that mean you side with Joseph Rosenbaum who was a pedophile? Btw, how do you feel then the third guy who was shot by Kyle Rittenhouse, Gaige Grosskreutz, was hit by a car driven by one of your "brothas"?

What does niggery and MLK's assassination have to do with self-defense?

The ability of The Blacks to dig up shit that happened a hundred years ago as some kind of smackdown never fails to amaze.

It's like certain archaeologists digging up Jerusalem with a shovel in one hand and a Bible in the other, or digging up Troy with a pick in one hand and The Illiad in the other.

It's like they have one book that explains all of history and anything outside that one book is just big-headed scientist shit.

"And on the anniversary of the death of Emmett Till/the burning of Black Wall Street/the assassination of Malcolm X/the integration of Central High School!"

The other day on MSNBC it was 100% the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

It's all so tiresome.

College students cannot think for themselves. That's scary.

Never could.

“Whether you like Kyle Rittenhouse or not, I abhor him.

I see this Parkinson politician is trying to play both sides. These assholes lost one time in this culture war which they have had many victories in, and yet they're still seething about this one.

This is the kind of thing where boredom is real with these people. You still used your names to sign up and still give more publicity to Kyle Rittenhouse, and you effectively proved his point without even attempting to do anything worthwhile.

How you call yourself ”social justice warriors” for crusading against a young man that did far more than what you will ever accomplish in your cushy, privileged lives is something that I will never get.

Politician doing politician shit as usual.

Again, I do applaud him for being pro-1A for his political rivals, even though him disliking Kyle is fucking gay.

You still used your names to sign up and still give more publicity to Kyle Rittenhouse, and you effectively proved his point without even attempting to do anything worthwhile.

The Streisand effect is a real, widely-studied issue and these fuckers still don't get it. Ambitious retards are more dangerous than anyone else.

Kyle accomplished the ultimate form of social justice that night. That's more than these bluehairs will ever be able to say they did. I wonder how many of them are pro-pedophilia?

Niggers, yes. Progtards are concerned about future astronauts being shot for their monkeyshines.

The thing is he wouldn't be if your apparatus just left the poor kid alone. That's what I find so tiresome about all of this shit.

Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of killing two men and wounding another during a Black Lives Matter rally

A Black Lives Matter rally, hereby defined as a mob including pedos, domestic abusers and more chaseing someone who has done nothing wrong save for being alive and white while firing guns into the air.

Completely normal behaviour.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

They're still going with the implied narrative that Kyle shot three Black men - after all, who else would be at a BLM "rally"? This works very easily on the same people who think because Egypt is in North Africa, that must mean They Wuz Kangz.

It's kind of ironic if you think about it. Whites coming to a rally about a nigger and acting like niggers.

It's coming full circle.

On a per capita basis, I'm far more likely to have to defend myself against a melanated individual. Maybe that's their problem.

Come on now, you can do better than that.

The one whose bicep he blew off was a convicted burglar who pulled an illegally obtained gun on him, the one he shot in the chest was a domestic abuser who wrongfully imprisoned his girlfriend, and the one he shot in the head was a convicted child rapist who molested five different children.

Anyone who marches for these people is a fucking retard.

 

[The Taco Santo!]

It wasn't supposed to be like this, he was supposed to be getting gang-raped by niggers in prison by now.

 

[Duke Nukem]

While I think he should have stayed home, his only real crime was not wasting more pasty white Antifa soycunts.

The fact that they turned out to be a convicted child rapist, woman abuser, and burglar (I think) in that order is pretty telling of what types of people political extremist groups tend to attract.

Even more hilarious that your communist revolution aspirations are being stymied by a teenage fatass who doesn't look a day over 14. Zoomers look fucking weird anyway.

how the fuck this connects to rittenhouse the man ventilated two whites , one pedo and one domestic abuser if my memory serves me right. Do you imply that black men are pedos and domestic abusers?
