Let's get a single thread going. There are currently protests, stake-outs, and small bursts of violence at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington after professor Bret Weinstein objected to the idea that white students should be prevented from coming to class ("or else") on the annual Day of Absence, during which students and faculty of color typically do not attend class or work. Bret is now being called "anti-black" and students have occupied the school library, refusing to leave until he resigns and the president, George Bridges, signs their lists of demands.
I haven't watched more than 1/4 of the video myself, since I'm fucking lazy.I also stopped looking for new videos/streams. My primary focus for now is that in one of the demands the students made is this interesting line: >We demand that the video created for Day of Absence and Day of Presence that was stolen by white supremacists and edited to expose and ridicule the students and staff be taken down by the administration this Friday. cooperpointjournal.com/2017/05/27/complete-list-of-student-demands/
I have never wanted to watch a video more than I have wanted to watch this.
President's response to the obvious cry for outright illegal censorship: >Next steps: >Based on conversations with the Attorney General’s office, the most likely course of action requires an investigation. We commit to launching an extensive forensic investigation of the theft of this video and to determining who stole it from the student. If that investigation yields a suspect, we will seek criminal charges against the individual in consultation with the Attorney General. cooperpointjournal.com/2017/05/27/george-bridges-statement-in-response-to-student-demands-delivered-in-the-longhouse-on-friday-may-26/
If Sup Forums was my personal army, I would say that we need all-hands-on-deck for this one. This is our number one priority.

Honestly, I quite like these Kwangz turning against their Jewish puppeteers.

>Colleges become a pseudo monopoly with monopoly prices >let their communist message run rampant
wow shit doesn't happen in trade schools
Brayden Brooks
Wait I fail to understand something. By people of color we mean non whites, yes? White professors told white students to also not come, and Bret disagreed? How is that "anti-black"?
Carter Gomez
>blacks exploit PC culture to get a free day off school/work I actually respect this part. The cynical opportunism is commendable. They just got ahead of themselves and thought the gap between "I want a 3 day weekend" and "I want white people banned from campus" was way smaller than it actually is.
Kevin Kelly
My favorite
Please note the demand for "free, discrete, secure" housing and parking space for all undocumented students to prevent discrimination on their way to the campus
Logan Miller
>How is that "anti-black"? Wow. I can smell your privilege from here, buddy

Christopher Stewart
Thanks. That's pretty much what I expected as a list of demands. Isn't it funny how the one thing missing from these lists is the "Or else" part. When a bank robber is trapped and makes a bunch of demands, he can say "Or else I'll kill a hostage." I would really love someone to ask these students "Or else what?"
Brandon Flores
We all are to blame for trusting the kike, watching his movies, reading his articles, buying his goods. We all are to blame for not spotting the signs and resisting the change. We all have to pay for this with our honor while gassing all the lot. We should do this or otherwise our species is toast.
Carter Brown
But that screams anti white for me I just don't understand that
>Hello! My name is Cassie Baisa. I am a nonbinary person of color who uses they and them pronouns. I am multiracial—I am Chicanx (Mexican-American) and Filipinx. I’m also a Pisces, if you’re interested in astrology.
Nathaniel Brown
>divestment from all Israeli products and corporations
At least they got one of their demands right.
Chase Scott
>this fucking scam
Wouldn't a gofundme be much more efficient and lucrative?
Jacob Cox
Or else they'll call you racist some more.
Andrew Moore
cheese, please!

Can't just the dude in charge expell every single nigger, faggot and snowflake that is in the library and call the police as they resist?

1) I now have cancer
2) At least it will also metastize in Evergreen, and eat every healthy cell from within, hopefully before it spreads.
Carter Wood
I have better solution. Just roll out stack of barbed wire around this failed institution and let nobody out. Declare this place as human zoo and fund it by selling tickets.
John Brooks
There are some good people suffering on the inside though, user

You missed the "BLACK POWER" and "2 4 6 8 THIS TIME YOU CAN NOT ESCAPE" chants.

Well done

They should have quit yesterday.

WA here. Been going around my facebook lately from people who go there.
** COPY // PASTE ** "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 24, 2017 STUDENTS AT THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE PROTEST RACISM AND ANTI-BLACKNESS ON CAMPUS. Whereas the campus community is experiencing mounting racial tension, putting the health and safety of brown and black students at risk and Whereas The Evergreen State College administration has failed to indicate any plan of action for the protection of students of color on campus and Whereas the College administration, specifically Andrea Seabert Olsen, has demonstrated anti-blackness in the pigeonholing, charging, and sentencing of two Black, trans, disabled students based on false, racially-charged allegations and Whereas the Evergreen State College Campus Police, in a separate incident, kept two Black students detained over an unfounded claim of aggression until hours after midnight, conducted unlawful interviews, and contacted the students’ guardians illegally, without a Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) release or student consent and Whereas peaceful protesters were assaulted by Evergreen Police Officer Timothy O’dell over a false report made by professor Bret Weinstein on the morning of May 23, 2017, after students attempted to hold Bret accountable for a recent racist email he wrote and Whereas the College administration has, without any student input, proposed changes to the Student Code of Conduct which would criminalize protests and disruptions on a federally-funded, public institution and Whereas the labor for dramatic change in the institution has fallen on Black femme students, instead of paid administrators or other white bodies.

In response to these recent events and the cyclical nature of anti-blackness and racism at The Evergreen State College, students are engaging in an ongoing struggle for equity on campus. Today at 1pm, students will be rallying in the Library lobby to formally present a List of Demands to College administrators as well as to show solidarity with the individuals whose bodies are routinely targeted by The Evergreen State College. This is a CALL TO ACTION to show up in solidarity with students on campus; to report incidents of racial bias or harassment by or at The Evergreen State College; to submit claims to the Office of Civil Rights; and to contact College administrators to demand repercussions for ongoing incidents of anti-blackness conducted by students and faculty alike. Who to contact: The office of President George Bridges - [email protected] Vice President of Student Affairs Wendy Endress - [email protected] Assistant to the VP for Student Conduct Andrea Seabert Olsen - [email protected] Signed, Those Who Are Not Often Heard
they won. The president gave them everything they wanted except for firing the professor immediately. They are going to "review" his conduct and fire him later.
Joshua Reyes
>There will be a removal of American flag OUT OUT OUT OUT
Camden Wood
holy fuck this is absurd.
Asher Morris
What exactly did they give them? Also, even if they wanted to they couldn't fire him. It's a state school and they have no legitimate reason
Connor Fisher
this is all i got out of it that fucking ass lad
Logan Perry
it is memorial day weekend a week or so before graduation.
the campus is empty. in a week most of these kids will leave, and a great number of the "problem" students won't return.
next fall it will be like this never happened.
Brody Cooper
Thank christ, I'm finally feeling some modicum of hope
Reading first line... >I’m George Bridges, I use he/him pronouns. ..Is this real?
Jaxson Lopez
>I’m George Bridges, I use he/him pronouns.
Owen Torres
technically, yes. they could. but the staff is just going to become bukkake slaves for the entire nigger community instead.
we need to end this
look at this, this is exactly what they want... more reason to feel like they can bully
Isaiah Robinson
except these little fucks will be roaming around in our society with nothing but time on their hands and communist plots in their minds
Aaron Price
check'd. such a beautiful area of the country.
Matthew Cox
Academia is filled with the weakest, most subverted people you will ever meet. They'll say anything to hold onto their "power", and will submit to any demands that won't result in having them immediately removed.
If it wasn't illegal to fire those people over popular demand, they would have done that too.
Nicholas Williams
100% confirmed. Yesterday when we got it out of someone on Sup Forums I thought they were trolling
> Was our inside source, didn't finish posting it all, so when the real thing came out I was shocked.
Nathaniel Nelson
>those demands
What the hell do you do in an "equity center"? Also, >We demand that the video created for Day of Absence and Day of Presence that was stolen by white supremacists and edited to expose and ridicule the students and staff be taken down by the administration by this Friday
Fucking lol
Xavier Hill
Holy fuck America. What the fuck are you guys letting happen over there?
Isaiah Gutierrez
These are fake, and proof that you retards will believe anything.
Blake Roberts
This is outright racist. It's not a walkout. It's a ban..
Zachary Foster
>We demand that the video created for Day of Absence and Day of Presence that was stolen by white supremacists and edited to expose and ridicule the students and staff be taken down by the administration by this Friday
You have no idea how disappointed I am that I haven't seen that video yet. I'm also so confused on what "stolen" means. Wasn't it an electronic copy? Like did someone steal a tape or reel of film? Was it only on a USB stick and they walked out with it? I have to know.
Dominic Allen
I live in Olympia, shitfuck. The latinx shit sounds totally reasonable and the redpill pasta is 100% accurate.
John Martin
I can't verify the list of demands, so you may be right, but I wrote that summary post. I only used info I got directly from the protesters I know on Facebook and some news sources
I've seen at least 5 different versions of the second macro today. More stupid shit keeps getting added to it as the day has gone on. Is there anything you won't believe? Lizard people perhaps? Aliens?
Nicholas Torres
Right, you're getting your news from Facebook. Why am I not surprised at all? You must have the critical thinking skills of a muskrat.
Jace Myers
i don't think it's gonna work out for them the same way in the real world my man. university is still just a social bubble.
David Jenkins
omg the last one.
>gender-neutral or non-binary alternative to latino or latina
are they even aware that nearly every spanish word has a gender????
Michael Nguyen
Someone needs to take this Webm and play hello darkness my old friend over it
Noah Peterson
I am the one who made the original crop of the demands. It was posted in the evergreen state college class of 2020 group on Facebook. I can get a crop that shows the whole post if you really don't believe it
Jose Nelson
everyone relax I will tell you what this is.
this is the last spasm of the Trump-is-Hitler narrative from the past 2 years.
the narrative in the media (trump is sending trucks to round up the queer POCs now!) enabled dozens if not hundreds of young people to form their identities and personal power structures in their relationships around "fighting the ebil white nationalists" or whatever.
so these people have no identities without an evil nazi force to be up against.
Carson Edwards
I'm getting my news from fucking videos and accounts from the protesters, as well as news sources and records of the emails in question. In fact, if anything, the protesters' accounts are going to be biased towards their narrative, meaning it's more likely to be even worse than I described it if there's any misinformation
Dispute a single claim I made and I'll back it up
Xavier White
Here you go fuckwit. These kids are dangerous.
Caleb Russell
its the video THEY filmed and posted of the chimpouts
Colton Lewis
Just expel them and have them arrested.
Austin Sullivan
gibbs
Elijah Davis
poor dude, he just wanted to git gud.
Joseph Smith
>we want the officer fired and suspended without pay >fired and suspended
Samuel Ross

Bentley Cox
The story goes a little deeper even. The professor has a history of standing up to the weirder shit in the Strategic Equity Plan and speaking out when no one else will.
>Weinstein took particular issue with one policy, put in place to encourage equity at Evergreen “faculty voted to require official, yearly reflections on our individual progress relative to racial diversity.” He appears to conflate this attempt to mend historical inequality and combat racism at Evergreen, with discrimination against white people, writing, “It is hard to imagine a person of color being flagged by a conversion panel, or as an internal hiring candidate, due to their yearly reflections revealing cryptic bias, or insufficient progress with respect to race. But it is all too easy to imagine a white person (whatever that is taken to mean) being challenged on this basis.” He continues that as a result of these and other diversity policies, “We have now imposed on ourselves a de facto hierarchy based on skin color, and hooked it directly to mechanisms of hiring, promotion and dismissal–empowering some, and disempowering others.”
Someone's out to get him, and considering his emails about the Day of Absence were over two months ago...
Jordan Gonzalez
imagine having NOTHING in your life except a struggle against an enemy that never existed, that you were led to believe by the media and confirmation bias.
These people are essentially in a self induced trancelike state, a heavy LARP session wherein they are the hero and "the system", or in this case, a random Jewish biologist, is the villain.
Adrian Miller
You could be right, but, either way, this is a prime example of Poe's Law
Kevin Murphy
Yes! I'm sorry I had heard that a few days ago but forgot to include it
Ethan Thompson
I know. I am one of them. Im going to make a write up later on how this whole things started. Surprisingly it actually has nothing to do with Bret but rather a student named Kai-Ave. Shit is to sureal and its gonna take some time to write it all out. I will make the op for the next general and have that as the body.
