Metaphysico

This is a perfect example of what happens when a nation doesn't have any sort of moral foundation. Moral subjectivity just runs rampant. I was a student at Covenant College and the faculty made some decisions the student body didn't in fact agree with. The student body was so ready to sign petitions and become hateful. They loved the thrill of bashing a group. its the popular thing to do. Hashtag activists and social media justice warriors are the same way. They love giving in to their anger. They refuse to look at any situation with any level of respect for the other side. Everyone looks for a scapegoat. (The Mizzou prez seems to be the newest one) I feel bad for all the Missouri fans and students who don't want any part of this stupidity. This is ruining the fans football season. (not that this is a priority) Students have to constantly listen to this gang style movement and will probably be badgered if they disagree with the vocal minority. This list of demands is hilariously juvenile. Hopefully the students who signed this petition/list of demands will look back on all of this in 20 years and be ashamed of their foolishness. Hiring black individuals for the sake of hiring black individuals is just sadly ironic. If we don’t understand the concept of hiring upon merit and not skin color in 2015 then I give up. As a Tennessee fan I wish Missou would apply this same standard of diversity to their football team. Since the student body is 93% not “black” then shouldn’t the team be forced to play a 93% “non-black” group of players every saturday so no ethnicity is left out? Or heck at least 50/50. This would help the Vols odds of beating the Tigers every year XD But no for some reason the Mizzou coaches find it appropriate to play players based upon their football ability. Personally this is just “gross discrimination” XD Hiring people based upon their skin color alone in order to appeal to a certain group with the same skin color is pathetic. In no way is this backward thinking helping solve any version of the racial problems that exist today. This is simply a “Give Us Our People!” mentality that completely contradicts the “We are all equal” mentality. I’m still confused as to what the president should have done in these situations? If he knew about the swastika incident and did not issue an investigation as to who was the perpetrator I can understand why some students might be angry. But beyond this i'm still confused as to how this single man is supposed to prevent the future actions of a few racist morons. What do you petitioner's want? How is hiring a more diverse group of individuals going to stop the few racists who do stupid things. Why is it wrong for the president to not get out of his car and address and angry mob (let's just call it what it is)? Why is he at fault here? He didn't want to answer your biased panel of questionnaires. He is somehow in the wrong here. I wouldn't get out of my car either. Also more funding for mental health services on campus? Really? We are just going to throw that in too XD Why not continue by asking for more parking spaces and free ice cream on Tuesdays. Who created this list of demands. You are college students in the United States of America. This means you are more privileged that a mass portion of the planet. I would think you would have used this privilege to improve your critical thinking skills instead of acting like you are MLK.Jr 2.0 You should be ashamed Mizzou (Those petitioning) if all your president has done is what has been explained to the media. You should be truly ashamed of yourselves. Lets become adults
