Remember Midwestern folks, if you say this was about race and religion you will be tarred with reductionism, stereotyping, and pernicious identity politics by some East or West Coast elitist.

Because only Democrats from Metro areas guilty of these sins, rural folk come right out of a holy Norman Rockwell painting.

All perfectly normal. Certainly nothing Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions will need to bother the heads of the guys and pretty little gals in the Justice Department with.

Oberlin is a terrific university. It has a history of free-thinking liberalism and diversity. This is just sad on so many levels. https://new.oberlin.edu/about/

Minus the torture and summary executions (for now), we are headed towards a Khmer Rouge-style government . . .

Don’t blame Midwesterners. Ohio isn’t in the Midwest.

Yes we are. We are the first state in the Midwest, the first state of the Northwest Ordinance. You may be confused with the Plains States as “Midwest”

“He represents that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character that almost every country in the world has learned to fear and despise. With his Barbie-doll wife and his boxful of Barbie-doll children, he speaks for the Werewolf in us; the bully, the predatory shyster who turns into something unspeakable, full of claws and bleeding string-warts on nights when the moon comes too close.” – Hunter S. Thompson

He may have been describing Nixon instead of Trump, but if the armband fits…

Sad and it’s just going to get worse.

This does not sound like my alma matar, quite the opposite. Oberlin has always been a bastion of tolerance and support for the marginalized. It was an important stop on the underground RR and a leader in the Civil Rights and anti-war movements in the 1960s.

And the press response on this kind of thing seems always to be along the lines of:

“Critics claim President elect Trump’s (1) advisors may have Alt Right Allegiences”

(1)AKA Pres. Elect Shitgibbon, AKA Pres. Elect Cockwobble.

I’d be curious to know what Rep. Tim Ryan (who is challenging Pelosi) would say about this incident? Does he think that this is the outgrowth of “economic insecurity”? Since he’s from OH he should know.

How Trump reacts to this is going to be very telling. My guess is his new Attorney General will say something like Buck Up, Boy, Don’t Be A Buttercup.

No, we are the Western Reserve.

Trump: If the professor had converted to Christianity and changed his name(hopefully he is light skin), this would not have happened. Hopefully, he learned his lesson. I am sure he didnt vote for me; so who cares. Also, whats a Jew doing in OH? Thats a racist/bigoted state.
