Editorial: In silencing the ACLU, BLM shut down an important ally
http://www.richmond.com/opinion/our-opinion/editorial-in-silencing-the-aclu-blm-shut-down-an-important/article_a737ccc9-45ef-5edb-98f6-f2f31f8bce44.html
“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.”
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
