I'm obviously not interested in the white supremacist results I got from googling what you suggested, I'm more interested in your concern of a lack of "white babies", or why women aren't deserving of certain "inclusiveness " because they weren't historically part of wars or the workplace.

You've dropped plenty of breadcrumbs, just curious if youd like to clarify since you've felt the need to bring these points up at all.

I think you're looking at it precisely backwards. Why do women need organizational backing to be included, are you of the mind they're too weak and devoid of merit to claim their own place?
Why should non-whites be allocated greater support/have the bar lowered in contrast to their white peers? Do you view them as the untermensch?

Their is a discriminatory factor, but it's coming from the left, not the right.

I haven't brought up the left or the right. Nor have I meant or said anything you insinuated I said or meant. In fact, my only goal was for Superfly to clarify his comments.

Semantics, in this case replace right and left with song preservationists and editors.
Why do women need a governmental body to change the words of a song most don't care about?

My assumption would be that the women on the governmental body (and maybe some guys) see an opportunity to effect the change and are using their position to do so. However, I'm not sure why that's your sticking point with me.

I'm simply trying to understand what Superfly has been tiptoeing around all night.

Uh-huh.. So why an obscure thing like the word "boys" in a fight song only played at sporting events, and not say change toward something that's actually a problem? Could it not be the case, that maybe they have an odious agenda? This same body doesn't seem intent on editing out mentions of girls or women. It's funny how people hear dog whistles when they want to, isn't it? And how they're never satisfied until and unless they're convinced this imagined evil has been outed and punished. It's almost like people have a primal, cult like, tendency to persecute others in the name of the greater good. They have to appease the beast.

The really derpy ***** are the ones who don't even realize they're doing it. But I'm sure that's not applicable to anybody here...

Wow... okay.

Listen, you've successfully let Superfly off the hook for his insinuation that white males were under attack. I'm going to bed.

I'm not looking to insult you because you think differently than I do, but I'd like to say that these are just 19 or 20 year old kids trying to make a positive change, to change out something antiquated for something a smidge more modern. It's not an opening salvo against the western world. Also, teachers aren't drone striker adjacent, the lefts ideologies aren't akin to murdering babies in the maternity ward. But above all I truly hope you have a good day tomorrow.

Hopefully, we all will hate a little less tomorrow.

I commend you for calling out Superfly for his ridiculous statements on this thread.

But about the highlighted part of your post.... most people who try to use political means to "make a positive change" end up making a negative change. And yes, student government is a political means.

Stalin thought he was making a positive change. Hitler thought he was making a positive change. McCain-Feingold, Obamacare, the Patriot Act - all passed with the best of intentions but have had the worst possible outcomes. Obviously the UC fight song isn't anywhere near that level, but you're the one who argued that we should let them off the hook because they're "trying to make a *positive* change" without any analysis of whether or not the change is actually positive. When you utilize force (i.e., government) to implement a change, effort shouldn't get you any brownie points - it's results that count.

Fun fact - did you know that the stock market performs an annualized 6% better on days when Congress is not in session? A UC professor found that out and wrote a great academic paper about it. The point is that the vast majority of changes that any government makes are negative.

The world would be a much better place if the people who really wanted to change the world would leave government to start private charities as a means to help others, rather than forcing their viewpoints on the rest of us through governmental force. I'd rather the government's domestic policy be run by corrupt soulless people like Trump or Berlusconi or Hillary than by people who sincerely think they can use the government to help me like Obama or Bernie or Bush 2.

There is no hook friend. This isn't an inquisition and I believe in live and let live. I wasn't insulting or hating on you, I just saw you cornering someone and don't agree with that. We live in a free society, a man is entitled to his thoughts and if he doesn't want to share them, that's his business.

As far as white males under attack go, in certain quarters they are. The Kalergie plan was a real thing, so was the Frankfurt school but I think white supremacists give those things far too much credit. People move forward with incompetence more than malevolence in most cases. I think there's a little bit of both at play in the racist, tribal, crazy ass far left. But things are more nuanced than some sinister cabal wringing their hands at the idea of getting "whitey". For instance, corporate culture does what it does because advertisers and shareholders, those groups do what they do because they take the opinion of a whiney few progressives as representative of the majority of people and they're scared of losing money.

University administrators? Kind of the same thing. Profs can be far out there wack-a-loons though.

However, Many areas have imposed diversity, affirmative action and diversity quotas or the ever popular "White exclusion" crap we see on the coasts

I don't think there's anything modern about policing language. I think it smells of ancient tyranny and moral puritanism our founders threw off, and I will not eschew the gifts given to us by the enlightenment to appease the tribal left. It has nothing to do with anachronisms in the song, "boys" is never going to cease to exist in our vernacular, and the future doesn't belong to emotionally stunted children who can't accept that there exists differences between people. You think this is just about a song? ….
If they were just kids going out on their own volition and doing things, I wouldn't mention it. 18 year olds don't care that a song said "boys". Listen to the music the average 18-20 year old listens to, those songs that have actual lyrics anyway, and tell me how "boys" or the rest of our fight song compares to any of it.


Quote: It's not an opening salvo against the western world.

It's Marx and Michel Foucault's bastard child. It makes us weaker and adds nothing of value. It claims to mend fences and does so at the cost of tearing down tradition. We have a national character and they're lucky to have inherited it.



Quote: the lefts ideologies aren't akin to murdering babies in the maternity ward.


They are in the sense that reallocation of wealth and power comes at a cost to someone else. We live in a finite world, just as in nature their is no such thing as free energy, and everything is gained through either chemosynthesis or photosynthesis; animals taking down other animals, plants choking out other plants, there's no such thing as gains made at no one else's expense.
If you want to be morally pure, suicide is there. If you want to be a person, imperfect and trying their best, accept that we all have advantages and disadvantages, and let other people do their thing. Don't try to have it both ways.
There is no move you can make that won't cost someone, but only a narcissistic, psychotic, Dbag intentionally takes from others on the basis of "righting past wrongs".

There is no being morally pure as long as you have money in the bank, food in your belly and a place to rest your head; as those things are missing from the lives of others. If you want to be pure, give up all your possessions and walk the earth as the apostles. Short of that?
Don't waste other people's time with self aggrandizing, sanctimonious, faux-altruistic BS

I'm sure all the tyrannical states of the 20th century told themselves the same philosophical circle jerk, how they were doing what was in the interest of humanity. I just see a bunch of uppity pricks messing with something, because other people who have their ears and pretend to be adults, likely baby boomers still carrying their own daddy issues, told them to.

Woman: we make less money, watch as our sexual assault assailants get put in positions of power, have disproportionately less of us in government (particularly on the right)...
African Americans: we make less money, deal with housing discrimination, deal with targeted efforts to limit our ability to vote, live in fear that our unarmed sons will be shot and killed for no reason, get longer sentences for the same crimes...
White males: um.. they are discussing changing the word boys in a fight song meant to represent a school of men and women...

RE: UC Student Govt Wants to Change Lyrics to Fight Song
"Diversity" = no white males. UC has a stated hiring practice of "non traditional" applicants/people. So does virtually every university. Heck the Boy Scouts are now Scouts BSA.

A University of Georgia (UGA) teaching assistant wrote Wednesday on Facebook that “some white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole in this struggle to advance to freedom." He added that to suggest otherwise is “ahistorical and dangerously naive.”

UGA philosophy TA Irami Osei-Frimpong made the comment during a conversation on the Overheard at UGA Facebook page. The comment has since been deleted. Osei-Frimpong claimed in May 2017 that Facebook suspended him for quoting from an article which detailed how Texas A&M professor Tommy Curry had said “in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die.”

Before the turn of the century, more than half of the residents of the United States were blue-eyed Caucasians, but that is no longer the case. In fact, the odds are that a baby born in this country today will grow up with brown eyes. By 1950, fewer than 35 percent of the American population had blue eyes. Most recently, that percentage has dwindled to about 17 percent. Worldwide, the number of people with blue eyes is even less at only about eight percent. In the United States, both the huge influx of immigrants from Hispanic and Asian countries and the increased acceptance of interracial relationships and the children born of those unions have caused this shift from a blue-eyed to a brown-eyed population.

Heck the Scouts are now having to consider bankruptcy. The left wingers will be happy. First they forced in gay leaders, then forced in girls and those things assured the end. Of course this is what the left really wanted as the BSA promoted a belief in God, etc.

Before the turn of the century, more than half of the residents of the United States were blue-eyed Caucasians, but that is no longer the case. In fact, the odds are that a baby born in this country today will grow up with brown eyes. By 1950, fewer than 35 percent of the American population had blue eyes. Most recently, that percentage has dwindled to about 17 percent. Worldwide, the number of people with blue eyes is even less at only about eight percent. In the United States, both the huge influx of immigrants from Hispanic and Asian countries and the increased acceptance of interracial relationships and the children born of those unions have caused this shift from a blue-eyed to a brown-eyed population.

There you have it, proof-positive that employees of our insidious state motor vehicle departments have been secretly compiling data about the citizenry's eye color.

But maybe they've gotten it all wrong. Maybe it's just that, back in the old days, only blue-eyed folks applied for a driver's license. I know they wouldn't even let me apply and take the test until I was sixteen years old, no doubt because I have HAZEL eyes (well, not my entire eyeballs, just the irises). Or maybe, with the advent of the contact lens, more recent applicants have chosen to alter the appearance of their eye color by wearing tinted lenses. Or maybe...

What ever happened to the scientific method?

I went ahead and moved this to the off topic thread. Initial topic is certainly on topic but a lot of tangents. I didn't want to put it in the political thread because not everyone used it.

New fight song idea for this board:

Oh, my good gracious, this thread got hacked
Left for a moment, when I got back
What started off as harmless one-offs
Is now an awful scene

Irrelevant to the discussion, two wrongs don't make a right but I'll **** on this talking point anyway.

They make less money because they have more children and work less hours. Stop molly coddling them like they're infants who would die without your support.
Female CEO's who set their own hours and run their own business make less too, that's not because of a hidden patriarchal plot to keep them down. It's because women and men have different interests and different drives. Women focus more on family and social lives, men care more about making money and competing with one another. There are more male engineers and female nurses because we have entirely different brain chemistry. Unless you have a background in neurology, you really don't have an opinion on the matter.

What about our sexual assault assailants mark? What about the boys and men who get raped? …
Why don't we see some hammy, emotionally charged reporting on that? Could it be that western media and douchie, upper-middle class white leftists infantilize, and patronize people they consider lesser?

Quote:get put in positions of power, have disproportionately less of us in government

Okay great. Plug people in based on gender. Lets not bother considering who people are as human beings, lets boil everything down to their genitalia and their skin color. don't bother earning a place, we'll just put you there arbitrarily, because it's not who you are as a person that counts, it's what you have between your legs... What a thing to say.
Great to know you don't think girls can ever be more than a tits and ******. Did you by chance have part in producing the following 03-lmfao





Look, you're proving the point I made earlier. You progressives are racist and sexist, while claiming to combat those very same things. Treat people with dignity and respect, but quit acting like black people and women need you to come to their defense. You aren't their great white savior and the fact you're positioning yourself to be that, just goes to show how tone deaf and up your own butt a lot of you people are.
I'd get into the other things you said, but it'd be me basically repeating myself. All you mentioned is so one sided and cartoony as to be a caricature of what was being talked about.

Thanks to people like you trying to level the playing field, Asians now have to lie about their race to overcome hurdles at Harvard.



And the ACLU defends that ****. You tell me why I should take your agenda seriously, when it infantilizes black and brown people, while simultaneously discriminating against East Asians?
**** or get off the pot sir. Either be egalitarian or stop whining.

You can't have it both ways.

The second civil war in this nation will come when the producers leave the consumers and either form their own enclave or disperse to points unknown.....or perhaps build an off shore archipelago.

A nation of net consumers won't last long and will follow Western Europe and Central and South America into oblivion.(or paradise if you ask a leftist).

To see what paradise will look like, check the current conditions in Venezuela or San Francisco.

A University of Georgia (UGA) teaching assistant wrote Wednesday on Facebook that “some white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole in this struggle to advance to freedom." He added that to suggest otherwise is “ahistorical and dangerously naive.”

UGA philosophy TA Irami Osei-Frimpong made the comment during a conversation on the Overheard at UGA Facebook page. The comment has since been deleted. Osei-Frimpong claimed in May 2017 that Facebook suspended him for quoting from an article which detailed how Texas A&M professor Tommy Curry had said “in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die.”

Just saw this... wow indeed. But remember, I was "cornering" him into saying this.

Well, you were. He just decided to stop dodging.
Not sure why though, he had the opportunity to let it go.

Page 1 to 4 is an interesting study in moving the goal posts.

I think there are some great suggestions in the thread such as using the word "team" or "Cats" instead. Nothing to get too worked up about here IMO.
