  • It’s always a mob of hundreds…against the one person being lynched

  • It’s always a group of racists…against one or two people

  • And it’s ALWAYS someone writing something hateful with no one looking

but but but Dr. King had a dream, and Barack O-postracial, and millennials are less racist than their grandparents…and ah never-mind, forget that. It’s time to celebrate the peaceful and mutually beneficial encounter between the benevolent Spaniards that discovered a group people that were already here.

The rhetoric of Trump has enabled this. He may very well be the most dangerous man in America; I fear one Donald Trump more than 10,000 Syrian refugees.

Couldn’t they just tattoo it on their foreheads so we can all mock them from a safe distance?

So the College Republicans have a chapter at Calvin?

If you can’t find enough “microagressions” to support your narrative, create some yourself. Most likely this was done by some whiny, passive-aggressive “activist” looking to control the conversation by pretending to be a victim. No witness, no photo, no telling who did this or their intentions. Not newsworthy.

lots of home schoolers at Calvin. Usually math is the missing link (along with evolution - but so much for puns) but apparently spelling without spell-check is also difficult.

It is an ultra-right Christian campus so, sadly, this isn’t a big surprise.

So what you are saying is that it is inconceivable to you that at a “Christian” college there may be undercurrents of racism and hatred? Instead of the simple answer, you attribute it to a “false flag” operation?

The leader in the GOP primaries is out there suggesting that “roughing up” an African-american protester is a correct course of action, that immigrants are rapists and brown-skinned refugees are terrorists and you cannot imagine that this is real?

The ugly underbelly is bubbling to the surface.

Yea and that’s a stick figure of a guy running while throwing a snowball with his head bent down ducking incoming shots.

Yeah, see? Liberals are turning this particular expression of opinion into a racial issue. The Democrat Party reads race into EVERYTHING because it serves their purposes!!!

So you believe it is inconceivable that it is a “false flag operation”? If it fits your biases, we should all just believe it. This is sloppy, hate-inspiring “journalism”, and TPM knows better, yet does it anyway.

Ask the question “who benefits”, and the answer is obvious.

Trump will be on this story at his next white supremacist rally like a fly on shit I’m sure.
