    No, the narrative about how bad the racism allegedly was.

    I think everybody here, regardless of political leanings, should be bothered by the way that poop swastika story originally got reported, given the fact that there's ...you know ..no evidence that it actually happened.

    Does it really matter? You're just fine with both scenarios, so why bother asking?

    When Missouri needs money to build a new dorm or Foreign Language Department or a wing on the library or a research facility are the protesters going to find the money or go on a hunger strike?

    Presidents are there to raise money, will the complainers make up the difference?

    By "actual" witness, do you mean a white person?

    YF, do you think that black people generally are trying to "get over" or game the system, or at least in numbers disproportionate to their percentage of the population?

    I'm not YF, but here's what I think:

    I think immature college kids full of piss and vinegar - white, black, yellow, red, or purple, doesn't really matter - lie about shit to advance their pet causes, because they think the end justifies the means.

    Feelings are more important than facts.

    Did I say anything to suggest that?

    Political activists are in the business of trying to game the system.
