Black Student Alliance at U. Michigan Demands Greater Policing of Hate Speech
“I am here because I have been pushed into a corner. Because I am being targeted.”
Moves like this one always look like they’re really about power.
The College Fix reports:
Black Michigan State U. students demand ‘no hate ordinance’
“Hate speech” and other conduct should be further policed by Michigan State University, according to the campus Black Student Alliance.
The activist group wants a “No Hate Ordinance” passed on campus, citing “hate speech and harassment, vandalism and administrative failures” at the public university.
Black Student Alliance board member Missy Chola, for example, says she is a victim and “exhausted” after she faced a subpoena for calling a professor “racist.”
Professor Jack Lipton is currently suing the university trustees following what he says is a targeted campaign against him for criticizing former Chair Rema Vassar.
According to Chola it is “racist” to call a raucous group of protesters who are disrupting the flow of a board meeting a “mob.” She repeated the charge from Vassar who made the same accusation against Professor Lipton, as previously reported by The College Fix.
“I’m not here to stir drama or point fingers,” Chola wrote. “I am here because I have been pushed into a corner. Because I am being targeted. And because MSU, the university that should have stood with me, has chosen silence over support,” Chola said, in a statement reposted on the BSA Instagram.
The Black Student Alliance did not respond to multiple messages sent by The Fix about their demands.
The Fix could not locate the entire 23-page document referenced by the student newspaper. However, the black student group’s Instagram account has a variety of letters criticizing school leadership. The group is also collecting stories about hate on campus, with a campaign called “HATEHASAHOMEHERE.”
The goal is “to bring awareness of the constant and unchecked discrimination that marginalized students, specifically Black students, face on this campus.”
“Black students have been consistent victims of acts of racial and gendered violence for decades, and the university has done essentially nothing to combat this issue,” according to the Google Form. “As a result, we are taking the [initiative] and calling them OUT!”

Vito Corleone responds, “Sorry, but we’re all white now.”
Anything a black says is racist is of course racist, Blacks are never wrong, Get with the program already.
MSU is not the University of Michigan. The title is wrong.
and no one pushes a Chola into a corner
Them calling themselves “special” saves me the effort.
The obvious problem with stupidity like this is who gets to define what it “racist” or “hate speech”? Calling a loud, unruly, disruptive group a “mob” is not racist or hateful, and neither is saying something you don’t like.
For big strong self-sufficient people who were “kangs and [stuff]”; the ones who invented and discovered everything until the white man stole it, they sure get their widduw feewingz huht easily.
