Missouri email tells students to call police if feelings are hurt from hate speech
Now that the #ConcernedStudent1950 strike is over at Missouri and university president Tim Wolfe has resigned as a result, emotions are still high campus as tension builds from several instances of students vs. media.
Missouri, as you know, is home to one of the nation’s most prestigious journalism programs but its vile treatment of media members and disregard for the first amendment in the wake of this week’s events has become an embarrassment for the university.
One faculty member made a public apology this week after being shown on video saying “I need some muscle over here to get this reporter out”, disregarding that videographer’s rights as a media member.
On Tuesday, Missouri sent a campus-wide email to all students saying they should report hate speech to police. The school advised that photos should be sent it in of the culprit regardless of whether they have committed a crime. The email served as a strange new ‘waving the white flag’ twist during what’s been a wild week at the university.
The University of Missouri just sent an email instructing students witnessing “hateful” speech to CALL THE POLICE. pic.twitter.com/UhkECZOvig

THE AFTERMATH:
- Comprehensive list of demands from Mizzou protesters
- Team holds meeting, university president releases official statement
- Missouri players issue statement after strike ends
- Boycott wouldn’t happen if Mizzou was 9-0, says player
- Former linebacker says players ‘lack responsibility and respect’ due to boycott
Anti-Americans and anti-Constitutionalists have taken over UM and Columbia’s police.
You can now be harrassed by the students, the university and the Columbia city police and possibly be put in jail for excercising your Constitutional right to free speech.
This is an example of why you cannot appease these criminals. They think they are above the law.
It’s time for Americans to take their country back.
I called the number in the email and talked to a University Police dispatcher named Rachael.
I began to ask her why a distinguished journalism school has an instructor on film threatening physical violence to an ESPN cameraman and trying to instigate violence against him. She had no answer.
I then asked her why the school was trying to intimidate free speech by threatening police action against anyone who said something someone else didn’t like. She again had no answer.
She said I should talk to a lieutenant and hastily patched me to his phone even though she knew he was not in the office.
I called back.
She had the integrity to admit she knew the lieutenant wasn’t in his office but not enough to answer any questions as to why they are systematically violating everyone’s constitutional rights. I let her know that America is watching.
Please let her know too…..573-882-7201.
Great Post. If a university such as Missouri has to resort to this, then their accreditation should be suspended and scholarships put on hold until the university can provide real solutions. This email is wasting a ton of American Taxpayers Money. All Parents–pull your student before it gets out of hand!
Not sure how you can see this as a great post RTR15. What could you possibly expect to gain from harassing a police dispatcher Esec? What Missouri is doing is ridiculous, but I can assure you this dispatcher had nothing to do with the policies or even enforcing them. She is doing nothing but her job of answering the calls and dispatching officers. To take it a step further, the police are also just doing their job. Why you somehow think interrupting police work is the answer to getting answers from Missouri is beyond me. I disagree with that email sent out 100% but what you did was even worse. If you want answers go to the University and try talking to someone who actually has them instead of harassing a poor dispatcher just trying to do her job.
Thumping your chest that you are harassing a person who very likley had no input in the decisions made a has no inside knowledge on why they were made puts you in a bad light my friend. Will you interrogate the lunch lady too? She probably has just as much info as Rachael who drew the short straw and was assigned to take these reports/calls.
Baiting and stirring up the fire is just… baiting, regardless of point of view. Preaching to the choir is not ministering. It merely widens the separation the world wants us to live in.
We are being manipulated on many sides. It’s only the fool who doesn’t see it, even from his own side. That’s why it’s even more important to see the basic truth without the anger thrown in.
I’m getting less concerned about the content of these articles and posts than the scary motivation behind them.
You think Rachel has a clue? No chance. She gets paid to answer the phone, nothing else.
Thanks for replies.
I’ve been told all my life to give up and don’t try.
If you are too ignorant to see what’s happening to America’s freedoms in your own lifetime, I understand.
If you call holding government accountable harrassment, then you may need to retake high school civics.
I will not sit idly and if you think that phone call didn’t have an effect you are probably too ignorant to even be discussing this topic.
…and if you reply again, please call that number first.
I admire someone at MU willing to stand up and tell the Emperor he has no clothes. Some of us wonder how this could be happening in the SEC.
Esec’s actions are completely appropriate. They are his form of protest. He knows the woman answering the phone has no part of this. But if 100000 people flood the police department with these legitimate issues, they will be forced to address the issues just as the university had to address the issue of students protesting for the firing of a man who had nothing to do with the issues that supposedly upset them. If you believe in the students’ rights to protest, then you must also believe in Esec’s right to protest. You may not agree with his form, but many do not agree with the form used by the students either. It does not negate either party’s rights.
Please tell me you called too!
#timtaisuemizzou
Seriously?? So you actually believe that a good way to protest is to shut down the police emergency call system?? You feel that harassing a completely innocent person who has no part in any of this whatsoever is a great form of protest? I really don’t think you guys understand what protest is all about, nor do you understand the laws concerning peaceful protests. Here is a hint, disrupting governmental emergency services is certainly not covered by freedom of speech or the right to protest and is in no way, shape, or form what protesting is about. The students have every right to do what they did but nothing Esec did was supporting that.
This platform will not let me reply to lovindagame so I will do it here if that’s ok. Thanks.
Yes. What I said was I want all 5 of us to call incessantly over and over with multiple phones and/or computers to disrupt governmental emergency services in a devious plan to cripple and/or paralyze Columbia and surrounding counties.
Now someone has to be fired because I just accidentally offended the physically challenged community. I know it’s an exaggeration or is it?
Other than me imploring you to be an good active American Constitutional citizen and you twisting it, the only other fault I found with your comment is that you failed to find fault with the students’ verbal and physical assault as well as the professor(s) verbal and physical assault as well as the multiple cases of intimidation of Constitutional rights (which is punishable by death).
…but you didn’t fail to find the ideology to say “The students have every right to do what they did….” which of course no American constitutionally educated citizen with loyalty could do, but yeah nothing I’ve done supported that “right”.
I don’t mean to offend, but I question your right to vote.
I
You talk in circles to deflect from your mistake Esec. I have spoken up on this matter many times in different forums and am just as outraged as you on the way the First Amendment is being abused. The difference is I did not choose to take out that anger on an innocent party. You try and deflect from what you did by claiming it’s an exaggeration to say it could shut down the system but by posting the number here and asking everyone to call it you faced the risk of just that. You do realize it’s not just the ‘five’ posters here reading this forum right? Not everyone who reads, posts. A simple ‘maybe I chose the wrong outlet for my venting’ from you would end this but you continue to insist you did the right thing. You can question my right to vote all you like but you should take a long hard look in the mirror before doing so my friend. Missouri has screwed up this entire incident in every way possible but just as those students brought bad light to their event after a victory, you are taking a valid anger and putting in the wrong spotlight with poorly chosen and misplaced actions.
You might want to review your shapes and colors.
You tried to take what I said and twist it. You took it and ran with it so far to an extreme it didn’t even resemble what I said and instead became a caricature of your reasoning ability and that’s why I clowned you.
I didn’t feel any anger, even if I had , I did not take anything out on an “innocent” party. If I had called you then maybe so, but I called the CULPRITS and talked to the first person who answered the phone. I hope you can one day have enough wisdom to understand these complex subjects you are trying to tackle while you aren’t ready.
The number was posted in an anti-Constitution email from a government agency and re-printed in the article and copied to my comment. You might want to spend some time reflecting on those facts.
America only works when there is a balance of power between government and the people they serve. If government will not be held accountable then America will die. You might want to spend some time reflecting on these facts.
The only way to hold government accountable is to contact them. You might want to spend some time reflecting on that fact.
If these well known tried-and-true American values and exercises make your head swim to the point you see bubbles or circles, you might want to consider taking a break and trying again later.
In the mean time, you might want to go back to highschool and retake civics.
Not only did I do the right thing, I exhorted everyone else to be a good American too. If you do not wish to be a good American, then that’s on you.
Not only did I do the right thing, I did virtually the ONLY thing you can do without filing a lawsuit.
Until you can learn the Constitution and the tools given you to hold the government accountable, you should seriously consider not voting anymore since you have demonstrated twice now that you have no idea about America, freedom, how we got it and how we keep it.
It would have been much better if you had simply said ‘thank you”. You are welcome anyway.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
You might want to re-read the last 10 words until you finally get it. It’s hard to find anyone more anti-American than someone (you) trying to get Americans to give up their 1st amendment right.
I didn’t twist anything Esec, your post was pretty clear. This little tidbit here was really I needed to read from your last response:
“If I had called you then maybe so, but I called the CULPRITS and talked to the first person who answered the phone.”
The fact that you call the campus police culprits here says all we need to know about you. Do you also yell and belittle the checkout person at the grocery store when you think an item is over priced? I’m betting you actually do which is really sad. None of the rest of your post has anything to do with this conversation or what we are calling you out on. Most of us agree with what you are upset about, the problem is you took a cowards route and called someone you knew had nothing to do with the issue and someone you knew could do absolutely nothing about the issue. If you really meant everything you said you would have called someone actually involved and done something about it instead of harassing an innocent person and bragging about it on a sports forum. You are the epitome of an internet bully, and in this case a phone bully as well.
Thank Gary Pinkle for allowing this to hit critical mass. He should have been fired on the spot.
I have refrained from holding Pinkel accountable. He is in an impossible situation. He has absolutely nothing to gain personally from taking action in either direction. But, if he sides against the players, it may mean his career is over, his name and reputation are destroyed, and, most importantly, the safety of his family could become an issue. Furthermore, he must act first and foremost as a representative of the university and he must consider the university’s best interests ahead of his.
He was quick to identify with that anti freedom fascists holding the campus hostage. Shame on him.
So you believe he should have immediately come out and done what?
Student: Mr. Policeman, they called me a dirty word.
Policeman: Did the baby get it’s feelings hurt?
Grow up people. This has gotten ridiculous.
We live in an age of entitled, self centered, little freaking brats who think that everybody has to like them and agree with them. And that you have to believe what they believe. And if you don’t, they and THOUSANDS of their brainwashed idiot friends will get together and force you to believe. And if you still don’t believe, they’ll shut down your business, Sue you for everything you ever worked for, and take everything in your life, except your actual life. I tell ya, you’ll just have to straight up kill me before I bow to this new mob mentality of today’s youth and liberals. I’m afraid America is already past the point of no return with these idiots being raised to be the future leaders of this nation. In the next 20 or so years we are screwed.
Agreed!
I apologize for this institution. I’m a student here and if I didn’t have as much time and money already invested in it I’d transfer. We have become the laughing stock of the nation and it is now more tense on campus than ever before. And it is understandable when a lot of sec fans are asking for us to leave or be kicked out of the conference. Again, I apologize for the sad excuse for an educational institution.
Nothing for you to apologize for, brandes85. Sadly, I have a funny feeling we’ll be seeing similar occurrences across the nation now that this level of lunacy has been displayed. Here in Athens, I hope to never see our beautiful campus divided like you guys are experiencing. Hoping for the best for Columbia, MO.
It is already happening at a handful of liberal arts colleges…
These kids needs the sense knocked into them…. it’s beyond ridiculous.
I agree with him. Embarrassed to be a Tiger right now but I have a year and a half left so it would be stupid not to finish.
Transfer. Let your money do the talking.
TLC, you have two choices. You can transfer or you can grow a pair and stand behind your convictions and confront the school administration with your concerns and fight for your beliefs. Sound reasonable? But more importantly, sound familiar? When it only applies to one side, then you have bigotry.
vkelly,
Your movement is false.
liberal fascists throw the word “bigot” around like candy. Usually they are homosexuals.
I took you to be African American by your posts.
Are you actually a homosexual or African American or both?
“Liberal fascists” “usually they are homosexuals” hahaha what? I don’t think it’s too much to ask to not allow racism at an institution. I’m not black or homosexual, I’m just a person with common sense. Your comments on this article show that you’re a little bit off your rocker.
Racism, while ignorant will always exist. It is not a crime. The thing I find funny is that only white people are called racist for their beliefs. You just saw a group of African American student hold the university hostage by demanding they cater to ‘people of color’. How is that not racist?
Esec, I’m neither African American nor homosexual, as if that’s a prerequisite for despising narrow-minded racism. But fair is fair, when I imagine you, I imagine a skinhead in his prison cell, covered in tattoos who’s getting computer privileges for doing something nice for a guard. But profiling really isn’t my thing.
Well you may be surprised to find out bigot is a term most commonly used by those who support homosexuality to persecute Christians. You might want to spend some time getting to know your coalition partners lest you get unwittingly profiled again.
You will find it prominently displayed on The Southern Poverty Law Center website. (The discredited organizations’ title being just another intended offense given).
Speaking of ironic, how about that bigotry on the video huh? How about that professor showing everyone how to get her bigot on? Please tell us what you think!
Esec, “homosexuals persecuting Christians”? Wow. You have some issues. And bigot is not an exclusive term used by the gay community. How old are you?
Google: “homosexuals persecuting christians”

I have issues with someone claiming someone must have issues if they are educated and informed…especially when the claimant is the one who is uneducated and uninformed. Is it fair to say a claimant who would do that has issues?
I said “usually” and it is defined as: under normal conditions; generally.
If you don’t know the simple definition of common words like “usually”, should you really be entering in debates with someone over 7?
I am over 7.
I am also wise enough to know you have ulterior motives. The reason I know this is because you keep making juvenile beginner mistakes in your discussions which indicates you aren’t letting the facts lead you to the correct conclusion. You are starting with your desired outcome and trying to work backwards.
It’s making you look dumb.
For extra credit, google “reading comprehension” and work on developing that skill.
Don’t bother with Esec, he makes the rest of us on the right look bad with his ignorance. He is nothing more than an internet bully who feels you should take out all your anger and frustration on this matter against the police dispatcher. According to Esec she is apparently the conduit for all that is wrong in this.

No one is laughing louder than KU fans. But this could very easily spread to them as well.
KU is 0-9! They’d give anything for every person in America to hear their universities name at least 10 times on Monday.
Our university Marxist puppy mills have gone off the deep end:) You think the police have time for that BS?:) Hilarious:)
They will do exactly what the administration tells them to do so yes, they do have time to be the campus gestapo enforcing fascist doctrine.
As I have already stated…… lost their freakin minds.
Don’t know if anyone has heard but there have been a ton of shooting and bomb threats made to MU today and they decided to continue with classes. Myself and a good amount of others students are not going today for concern of our safety after seeing what has happened at other schools. Praying for the best.
… And there isn’t a problem? It’s all manufactured by the entitled black folk? Holy cow, what needs to come to the surface to show we are way behind where we need to be. Sweeping it under the rug until it emerges from the edges is not working because the dirt’s still there.
There were no bomb threats, no shootings, and the student body president created a false story saying KKK was running rampant and he was working with campus police, highway patrol, and the National guard. He has ruined all his credibility on this campus and all support.
Most people believe what they want to believe.
If you notice, virtualkelly is all too ready to believe anything that helps his agenda.
It hasn’t occured to him the lack of credibility is telling off on him.
Why don’t you guys go hold one of your clan rallies at the university. after reading your pathetic comments, it seems like you’re into that kind of thing. this article also caters to the idea that racism and hate do not exist. and also, the police have better things to do? like writing speeding tickets and eating donuts. STFU.
Are you here? Do you know the full story? Did you physically watch the protests and hear what was said? Are you living through the threats right now and hoping you don’t get shot at school today? No? Then you have no right to tell me to STFU.
This article has nothing to do with racism donBigote. Why do people insist on throwing out that word everytime they have no real argument as if it automatically wins the debate? Your insinuation that police officers have nothing better to do than investigate someone standing on a corner saying things other people don’t want to hear shows the caliber of person you are. I fact that you can sit there and throw out a stereotype of cops eating donuts is testament to what this article really is about, free speech. If you wanted to stand on the corner and speak out about how much they despise cops you should be free to do so without fearing the actual cops being called on you.
You have nothing to say that could defeat us, so you accuse us as Klansmen. I’m sorry, but if somebody called me a “honkey ” and drove away, that isn’t a threatening thing. Now if a group of people circled me, that would be a threatening issue. There is no reason for the police, who have much more important things to do such as stopping REAL crimes, to respond to callers who claim that they were “offended.” This costs taxpayers money and there is no reason to pander to all of those failures of students who complain about everything. To the real students, I applaud you for not joining this circus. As to the intolerant liberals such as this Tennessee fan I’m replying to, I hope you know that your viewpoints about the issue are not conductive to a better climate in Missouri and you people are ruining this nation’s youth. I know that because I’m just a Junior in Highschool. Entitlement frickin everywhere.
Pretty mature 17 year old…..
Clan is a Scottish family. Try to get it right fool.
don, I don’t believe anyone would agree that racism doesn’t exist. What we don’t believe, in fact what we know to be true, is that racism does not define this society as the media and fraudulent actors such as Jackson, Sharpton, and Farrakhan would leads us to believe. Racism exists in every part of the population: white, black, latino, native american, etc, etc. Why is it that the country is only outraged when it sees racism exhibited by a white person (this is rhetorical)? Is it not equally outrageous when a black person is racist to a white person? These incidents happen everyday and they happen just as frequently on both sides.
Yuuuuup I’ve lost a lot of faith in the people that come to this site. They worked hard to remind me that it’s the SOUTHeastern conference. Apparently there are people driving around on campus yelling “white power” and there have been multiple threats to black students on campus, but let’s keep acting like anyone scared is being ridiculous.
Every time someone proves you wrong, every time someone calls you out for it, yet you still act like you are providing factual information. What part of “those aren’t verified sources” do you not understand? Now I know you’re a 20-something college band student who wants a cause to join, just please pick a noble one. You’re hateful to your own fellow southern brethren, and obviously aren’t interested in any real meaningful change. You just keep saying the same liberal Dogma and whenever someone proves you wrong, you call them racist. If I did that on my school’s debate team, I would be laughed at, but because Bernie Sander’s is the future and the one to pray to, you think that makes your tactic somehow different in this scenario.
Where you one of those who said Mike Brown was a saint too?
If you were, would you be mad if I said I am not sure about your claims?
30 plus years in MS, classes at both major universities and I have never once heard anyone yelling ‘white power’. If you are talking about Mizzou, so be it but you should specify. I’m pretty sure doing so in Starkville could get your a$$ handed to you, maybe even by a white person.
You’re missing the point Coozie, students were not told to contact the police if they felt threatened, that’s pretty much a given thing to do wouldn’t you say? What students here were told is to contact campus police if they felt offended by hurtful speech. Do you seriously not see the difference? You seem to be insinuating racism here, but you are the only one judging anyone so who is in the wrong?
Based on the behavior of student groups described in the account of unrest at the University of Missouri, what groups seem to have members most likely to direct hate speech toward an individual or another group? So can you imagine a police force acting on that hate speech?, no. It would only be accepted if the police acted against the most vulnerable majority group or member.
You’re editorializing when you inject “feelings get hurt”. If SDS wants to take a position, do so, but don’t veil it as news and be inaccurate while you’re at it. Doing so for bait and click is even worse. None of the police correspondence contained this “feelings get hurt” language.
Race related behaviors leading to violence are called hate crimes and are illegal in every state in the union. And with the phony media stirring up the powder keg, the likelyhood of violence is even worse.
1. “hurtful speech” is printed in the email in black and white. Would a non-prejudiced person have seen it?
2. You might want to ask someone to explain the First amendment to you and how it applies to “hurtful speech” as well as find out whether it is a crime to speak it or whether it is a crime to supress it.
3. And lastly, would you color an accurate paraphrasing of the email that the sds author gave as stirring things or up or would it be more likely that a poster making false claims and throwing words like “bigot” around is the one who is stirring?
You need to re-read. At the bottom it states that this speech is not a crime but might be against school policy and be subject to disciplinary action. You know, I don’t think Mizzou really wants folks walking around campus shouting the n-word. Go figure.
You are surely old enough to know that although we have freedom of speech in this country, there are real-world limits to it. Try spewing a litany of racial epithets at work, or committing slander, or yelling fire in a movie theater sometime. Your speech would be protected; the disruption would not.
This email is only to keep a potentially volatile situation from boiling over. But there are some who enjoy s*** disturbing and controversy. And in the digital age, makes click-throughs as well.
You are still confused and you are unaware that you appear to be going down grasping for straws.
The email is a clear institutional and systematic intimidation of Constitutional rights to free speech. It is deliberate and therefore egregious and punishable by a fine or up to 10 years in prison or both.
The last time a major world power wielded intelligence and police capabilities while abrogating laws by oppressing it’s citizenry, it was engineered by a guy named Hitler. You would like him.
This is the defacto state of affairs at an American university and you are still pretending to defend the bigotry and fascism. The non-arrest disclosure does nothing to assuage their guilt of Constitutional intimidation. ( 18 U.S. Code § 241 – Conspiracy against rights).
There are real world limits to freedom of speech but those limits don’t cover Constitutional intimidation by a institution, it’s students and it’s faculty and it’s police. I wonder if they were wearing brown shirts.
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Benjamin Franklin
So saying the n-word will get you in trouble? Does that go for white students or black students saying the n-word at Missouri? How many black students do you think use that word on a daily basis? Where is the line drawn here? What if a black student calls a white person the klan or whitey or honkey? Will they get punished as well? I hate to tell you, the university of Missouri just opened pandoras box.
Esec, you are way the hell out there. I see nothing in this email that is intimidation against anyone. You can read anything into anything. It appears to be nothing more than a nip it in the bud move by the campus police to chill the situation. There is nothing unlawful about it. Hate speech is not unlawful but it can be against policy.
The email is a clear institutional and systematic intimidation of Constitutional rights to free speech.
Call the police if you are hurt by speech.
It’s not going to get any clearer.
Your bias is blatant and you look dumb.
The crime they are committing is codified and it calls for a maximum of 10 years in prison.
You should understand that everyone knows you have an agenda because about 85% of the stuff you said is obviously wrong to anyone who has graduated highschool and didn’t sleep through civics.
Google Constitutional intimidation and please stop posting until you educate yourself, this is getting very old and you look really dumb.
The words “feelings get hurt” appears nowhere in the SDS article. The comments section is not part of the SDS article. All of the SDS articles relating to this matter have exhibited a much higher form of journalism than any of the major outlets. They have only documented facts and have not once injected anything that could be construed as an opinion.
Uh, RTR. Read the caption… And the FB link… And the Twitter link. That “feelings” line is there. You must have missed it.
Mizzou needs to change from the Tigers to the Pu**ies. Grow a pair. People aren’t always nice.
Waaaaaaaaa, call the cops, he looked at me wrong!!!!! How sad to see a great university destroying itself.
Well…Missouri is just Illinois West.
The scariest thing in these situations … is a bigot who doesn’t think he’s a bigot.
Well obviously you mean the two Missouri professors who violated that reporter’s Constitional rights…….right?
I absolutely agree on that one. I’m not sure what those people were thinking.
the scary thing is the bigot who only thinks white people are bigots.
White people are the only ones that benefit from institutionalized racism. Read a book.
Get a life.
Name the Martin Luther King Jr. speech where he spoke out against ‘white privilege’. People like you are detrimental to racial equality and progress. For a society to be considered truly equal, all races must get along and FORGIVE any past transgressions. If one race is constantly bitter at another race for their ancestors’ wrongdoings, then how can we all truly get along?! People like you are the PROBLEM. Not the SOLUTION.
Now try to call me a racist now @Coozie.
White people may be the only benefactors of institutionalized racism, but that doesn’t mean only white people are bigots.
smh. Coozie, I will not argue your comment as it would be pointless to do so. But, please explain, how does your comment have anything to do with mine?
We live in an age of institutionalized racism, but it does not benefit white people.
Really Coozie? Not getting to the complexities of affirmative action, but I can tell you one med school denied me entrance and accepted a few fellow classmates with inferior grades, mcat scores, experiences, etc. There was one differentiating factor, if you want to guess. As it turns out, I could have probably joined them had I known my 1/8 Cherokee on both sides may have allowed me to check that magical box, even though I’m as honkey as they come. I understand the desire for diversity, the theory that minorities might relatebto and better serve minority populations, etc.
But I take it personally. Because I returned to that institution for my GME in a very demanding specialty after breezing through med school, only to find out many of those fellow classmates that were accepted had struggled, and watched them continue to struggle, fail board exams, etc. That magic box cost me tens of thousands of dollars to attend another more expensive school, move, etc, so don’t dare tell me white people are the only ones who suffer from any form of racism.
Welcome to Nineteen Eighty Four…
I guess that reporter should make to call today and report that Professor.
#timtaisuemizzou
If I were a student at Mizzou, I would probably withdraw immediately.
Can you imagine gameday and all the calls that will flood in from trash talkers? They’ll need the Missouri guard to help field all the complaints.
How many people directly phone the police department? Most will just dial 911 to report “hateful” speech which is a gross misuse of the 911 system.
Judging by some of these comments, I bet some of you have some nice white robes in your closets, possibly with a nice hood to match. If you read the whole thing it’s not saying they’re going to arrest people for hate speech, but they will take disciplinary action which is ABSOLUTELY in their right as the university. THINK. USE YOUR BRAIN. I know it’s probably hard for some of you but read the post. This isn’t about “hurt feelings” and you know it.
I feel like the people who insult others the most are the most insecure about their own self worth.
Your comment is so hilarious coming from Mississippi State fan. Mississippi is one of the most racist states in America. So I’m sure you know a lot about white robes.
I think he’s an idiot, but MS is over 40% black, under 50% white, and has a rather large proportion of people of neither race. Calling us ‘one of the most racist states in America’ means your buying into a stereotype purveyed by Hollywood and mass media. Yes there are Klan members still in MS, yes there are areas where there is racial strife, but we don’t have anything on California, Ohio, Missouri, or even Florida for that matter. The racial attitudes prevelant in California have repercussions throughout the country, and they are the primary contributor to the cultural idea of racism in America. I find his statement idiot, but your is insulting and untrue. OK, where I moved in Feb., exhibits far more openly racist attitudes than I am used to, there are just less black people in most of the state (outside OKC and Tulsa) for the media to take note. That, and a lot of it is directed at Native Americans, though the state provides ammunition by pandering to that population at the expense of everyone else (ex. buy a vehicle with Creek tag, and you are stuck with the taxes from every year it had Creek tag, though you didn’t own the vehicle. How is that even legal?) Do you seriously think MS is ‘more racist’ than, say, Minnesota or Wisconsin? Pull the plank out of your own carjackin state’s eye.
Your ignorance is offensive.
You are complicit in the institutionalized systematic intimidation of the citizenry by the governmental police apparati.
For your educational enjoyment and to find out what has happened in the past, google “1930’s Germany” and/or Hitler.
I avoid calling people racists. I will point out that people’s words or behavior make them seem racist. But I’ve found most people are instead simply trapped in a different time and old mindset. I have met both white and black people who seem racist. But I’ve also met rednecks who are simply behind and stuck in some kind of social rut. It needs to change though. Can’t move forward without change.
Btw, I’m a red neck so I can call myself that.
I would make the argument the main people who are simply trapped in a different time and old mindset are African Americans.
Ever so often 40 acres and a mule.
Without debate it seems most certainly true that African Americans are the most racist American group.
No other race has so many special racist groups. The NAACP puts their racist creed right on their flag proudly. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Advancement of who? Colored people.
Over who? Obviously over all other races.
That and the BET channel are so not racist. Neither is Miss Black America or Black history month.
Obviously you could name quite a few too I’m sure.
I am so glad I don’t live my life believing someone owes me something or that I am a special needy case. I can’t imagine the unhappiness.
And what about someones mindset that they are owed something and have a feeling that everyone is out to get them? What mindset is that and how do they change? I treat everyone like I would want to be treated, but not everyone is like that. Those so called rednecks you are putting in a category like me calling a black person the n-word. Just because someone is country and not from the big bad city, doesnt make them a bad person. Let a black person call someone a redneck and there is malacious intent behind it. So now what?
Well, I am a redneck. I’m okay with it because it doesn’t denote something negative to me. I’m also pretty sure there are some black folks who use redneck in the pejorative. But there are white folks who do that too. So I can’t understand if you’re insulted because I called myself a redneck or what really.
I feel like the same people who would call the police for something like this are the same people who protest when police show up.
*like*
You’ve made me do something I never thought I’d do. War Damn Eagle. See this matter is bringing us all together.
I read this and thought “My God” is this what we have come to? Is this what we teach our young people? Does this email and general attitude remind any of the older readers of what we were told Russia was like during the cold war? Report all “hate speech”- read ” anything we don’t like of is different”. When I was in College it really was a place where all ideas were discussed. Today is Veterans Day and I returned home from Vietnam 44 years ago roughly and I know this is not what any of us ever went to war for- We went to protect free speech.
Thank you for your service.
Yes University police have nothing better to do than deal with people with “hurt feelings”!!! Grow up people….stop whining!!!
This University is an EMBARRASSMENT!
Institutionalized Racism in any form is ILLEGAL. The laws changed with the Civil Rights Act in this country a very long time ago for good reason.
So the minorities, homosexuals and other groups that pull these stunts need to shut their mouths because “Racism” is illegal.
I feel bad for you at Missouri right now. As a hiring manager any resume with a degree from Mizzou will be deemed worthless by me and I know alot of others who feel the same way. Whether or not these race mongers realize it they are diluting the value of their education. I saw a professor resigned today in protest because he was attacked for not canceling class. If more professors join in your degree becomes less valuable. Frankly, I would advise you to transfer from this tainted school.
Wow.
That’s a little much, don’t you think? I agree that whats going on out there is flat out ridiculous, but not every Mizzou grad is associated with this “protest” nonsense.
Jeebus Mizzou, just fall into a sinkhole already. What a joke.

will promptly dispatch a “hugger” to you ASAP. In the event we are unable to find a “hugger” we will notify the fire department and request that they
send fire personnel to your location. If you are in need of supplemental support, upon written request, we will make every reasonable effort to provide
you with a “blankey”, a “binky” and/or a bottle if you so desire.
