“Liberalism is white supremacy,” according to protesters at William & Mary who shut down a discussion with the ACLU about free speech on campus last week. The protesters with Black Lives Matter then boasted about doing so on Facebook.

College protesters are often marked by an inversely proportional relationship between their passion for an issue and their understanding of it. So the BLM demonstrators probably missed the absurdity of their own position. As they continued to disrupt the event, one of the organizers handed over a microphone so they could read a prepared statement.

“When is the free speech of the oppressed protected?” one of the protesters said. “We know from personal experience that rights granted to wealthy, white, cis, male, straight bodies do not trickle down to marginalized groups. We face greater barriers and consequences for speaking.”

Why is the image of a circular firing squad coming into my mind, when I hear about this? :whistling:
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor
