A columnist for the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation wrote a column in Sunday’s paper about the Emory University kerfuffle. (If you are not a subscriber to the AJC you can’t read the entire column)
This week, I was invited into the Latino students’ “safe space” at Emory University to talk about fear and loathing brought on by a serial Trump chalker on campus. I know, it sounds ridiculous, sort of like an Onion story come to life.
The story is now well-known. I just finished reading a British newspaper’s take on it.
Sometime late Sunday, someone wandered the decidedly liberal campus “chalking” sidewalks and walls with pro-Trump slogans. Come daylight, a pack of chanting students converged on the university president’s office, complaining about the anxiety and despair brought about by the midnight chalker.
The story quickly made the rounds as the latest example of easily offended students being whipped into a frenzy, of suffering “microaggression.”
AlphaDelta pointed out to me that I was wrong about my conjecture that the minority students who were traumatized were Diversity (All Hail Diversity!) students, by which I mean black. Instead, they were mostly Latinos which makes sense since Trump has promised to ship illegal Latinos back to where they belong. I guess that would traumatize these beaners. What really pisses me off is that most of these Third World freeloaders come here and then want to turn this country into the countries they are fleeing from. Look at all the incidences of Mexican flags at schools in California. If you assholes like Mexico so much, go back to Mexico. Don’t try to turn the US into Mexico with all of its dysfunction. They’re offended by students wearing patriotic shirts and the spineless multicultural school administrators side with the Mexican students. If the American flag offends you, you are living in the wrong country. Go back to Mexico.
By comparison, a student downtown at Georgia State University was involved in a macroaggression Monday: He allegedly was selling pot to somebody and got in a shootout with the buyer. Both were shot. So pick your weapon, a pistol or chalk.
But chalk is so scary.
…
I went to Emory and followed the remaining trail of chalk to the university center, where I met with Jonathan Peraza and Harpreet Singh, a couple of the students who marched on Wagner’s office.
Asians were involved as well. Not sure why since they are prolly here legally. Just dumb liberals I guess. This is Emory where the professors and student body are very liberal. I refer to them as Emoroids.
I found them to be polite, articulate, passionate and misguided.
And stupid. Don’t leave out stupid. And booger eatin’ moh-rons, as well.
Peraza is a sociology studies student from Gwinnett County
A hotbed of illegal aliens.
who had weeks earlier protested outside the immigration offices downtown. That, I can understand. He also posted on Facebook photos of cafeteria workers and asked students to learn their names and be kind to them. Very laudable.
How sweet.
But I told him the march on the president’s office feeds the notion that students see perceived slights as looming threats and are pro-speech only when they agree with it.
Torpy nails it as that is pretty much the truth on every college campus. Why? Because that’s what their liberal rat bastard commie professors teach them.
“We’re not cry babies,” said Peraza.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
“We’re generally afraid for our safety because of what (Trump) threatens to do with us. It’s what he represents and what his supporters represent.”
Yeah. He promises that if you are here illegally he is gonna enforce the law and send you back to where you belong. It’s as simple as that. You broke the law and you are here illegally. Go home!
“We don’t feel safe in our university,” he said. “We’re speaking out against their lack of response and the neglect we feel.”
Neglect? You are prolly going to a $64K a year university on a scholarship. You call that neglect? You are illegally living in the greatest country in the world and are prolly sucking up services meant for actual citizens. You are a leech and a parasite. STFU and go back to the Third World where you belong. You want to live here? Do it legally. Get in line.
They don’t know if the chalker was a real Trumpite or someone simply trying to get a rise out of people. Word on campus is it was a student who likes to sign up for gender studies courses to mix things up.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! A man after my own heart.
Can you believe that a college that charges $64K a year in tuition has gender studies courses? I imagine it has black studies courses as well. I wonder if it has Latino studies? Can you also imagine that there are parents out there willing to spend that much money and have their children take useless gender and race studies classes? Amazing. What’s that about a fool and his money?
I noted to the two protesters that here we were in the Latino club “safe space,” and they are self-segregating.
“It’s somewhere to go if you’re stigmatized and marginalized on campus,” he responded. “We’re treated like animals. We’re treated like the other.”
Speaking of “safe spaces” I asked AlphaDelta to create another “safe space” map for these whining snowflakos. Here it is

Adios snowflakos!
Wonderful writing. I read clear to the end. But, I bet it would have gotten only a D in an emory English writing class.
Brilliant writing. BRAVO!!!
If Trump sends them home they will go in busses and planes, if we have to do it many will go in body bags. And he is worried about Trump?
Worried? Not as much as the big business of the educational aristocracy who indoctrinates these losers to never leave their campus Safe Space funded by undischargeable loan debt. Then heap on big business like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce who pushes for student visas, which are subsidized by us taxpayers at public universities and, then make them H-1B cheap labor to displace American workers from their good paying jobs, only to scramble for shit work equating to an 89% pay cut.
There’s who is really fuckin’ worried about Trump. The campus faggots are merely a symptom. They’re too stupid for anything other than #FeelTheBern.
“It’s somewhere to go if you’re stigmatized and marginalized on campus,” he responded. “We’re treated like animals. We’re treated like the other.”
Sounds to me as though they’re bein’ treated like the whinin’ little pussies they are.
LOL! Yep, you got that right and, it ain’t just limited to the campus lizards: https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/714995332912840705

Ain’t third-wave feminism just grand?
Piers Morgan (the anti-gun Brit) said that a male reporter would be “rightly mocked” if he pressed charges against Lewandowski. When even Piers Morgan is laughing at you you gotta know you’re a bint.
The Fourth Estate is burning itself down with this and, all other garbage they’re doing, like blaming Trump for the NE story yet not dare to even discuss what the NE story is. How goddamn bizarre is that?
This is the best election ever!
That map is farking hilarious!

This week, I was invited into the Latino students’ “safe space” at Emory University to talk about fear and loathing brought on by a serial Trump chalker on campus. I know, it sounds ridiculous, sort of like an Onion story come to life.
The story is now well-known. I just finished reading a British newspaper’s take on it.
Sometime late Sunday, someone wandered the decidedly liberal campus “chalking” sidewalks and walls with pro-Trump slogans. Come daylight, a pack of chanting students converged on the university president’s office, complaining about the anxiety and despair brought about by the midnight chalker.
The story quickly made the rounds as the latest example of easily offended students being whipped into a frenzy, of suffering “microaggression.”

Torpy at Large: Trump backer chalks up a microaggression at Emory
Word that students in this expensive bastion of higher education got so offended by just the thought of The Donald made the Internet explode. Denunciations of the students came by the megabyte — “Snowflakes.” “Humorless punks.” “Pathetic weaklings.”
“It’s enough to make you root for Trump. Well, almost,” wrote Robby Soave, an editor at the libertarian Reason magazine. Soave has been out of college just a handful of years but believes these types of cases greatly increased since he matriculated.
The thin-skinned “seem to have more institutional power on campus,” Soave said. More troubling is that a knee-jerk offense atmosphere brings institutional reticence when it comes to discussing controversial subjects.
“There are cases where (professors) say something a little controversial and instead of it leading to a classroom debate, students are reporting them for what is, in essence, a thought crime,” he said.
When students marched on Emory President James Wagner’s office, they knew they had an easy mark.
Three years ago, Wagner drew national enmity after writing a column where he noted that a fine example of compromise was the 1787 Constitutional Convention when the Founding Fathers cut a deal where slaves counted as three-fifths a person for census purposes. The ensuing kerfuffle that dogged Wagner was an example that sometimes real smart people can be a trifle tone deaf.
And he sure won’t let something like that happen again. President Wagner has learned to nod sagely and appear sympathetic whenever aggrieved students march his way.
Later, he dug into universityspeak and told the Emory Wheel he appreciated the “mechanism for interaction.”
What he said: “Look, I’m so pleased I was in the building when [the protesters] arrived. The opportunity to listen and their willingness to try to explain more and more clearly to me the root of the concerns was very effective.”
What he meant: “Look, I wish I was anywhere else when the kids walked in. I couldn’t wait for them to stop talking, but being a high-paid punching bag is part of the job.”
He crafted an email to the student body and said the university would review security cameras to see if they could ID the chalkers. I don’t know what could be done as punishment other than write a 1,500-word essay on the history of political correctness.
Counseling, naturally is now available for students.
I went to Emory and followed the remaining trail of chalk to the university center, where I met with Jonathan Peraza and Harpreet Singh, a couple of the students who marched on Wagner’s office.
I found them to be polite, articulate, passionate and misguided.
Peraza is a sociology studies student from Gwinnett County who had weeks earlier protested outside the immigration offices downtown. That, I can understand. He also posted on Facebook photos of cafeteria workers and asked students to learn their names and be kind to them. Very laudable.
But I told him the march on the president’s office feeds the notion that students see perceived slights as looming threats and are pro-speech only when they agree with it.
(Although you can almost not fault them for using their new-found power as an opportunity to push around some easily ruffled stuffed shirts.)
“We’re not crybabies,” said Peraza. “We’re generally afraid for our safety because of what (Trump) threatens to do with us. It’s what he represents and what his supporters represent.”
“We don’t feel safe in our university,” he said. “We’re speaking out against their lack of response and the neglect we feel.”

“It’s somewhere to go if you’re stigmatized and marginalized on campus,” he responded. “We’re treated like animals. We’re treated like the other.”
Self-segregation is common, he said, but often it’s called joining a frat.
Interestingly, Emory is a minority majority school, so it is a representation of what America will someday be. Although let’s hope that nation is not so touchy.
Rob – That is the column I excerpted in my post. Why repeat it?
