How about the intolerance on the right? Does that make you sad too?
Or the lactose intolerant? Personally, the just the thought of being lactose intolerant upsets me. I love cheese too much.

I think you may need help with the word "literally". If you come to campus and behave in a civil and respectful way, the students will most likely reciprocate. I recall the College Republicans and the Young Americans for Liberty clubs inviting provocative and controversial speakers all the time and nothing happened to them.
If Kaitlyn wanted to have an earnest discussion about hotbed political issues, she absolutely could have. There are plenty of avenues she could have utilized to do this. Instead, she showed up unannounced without contacting OUPD. She came with the sole purpose to rile people up and get it on film so she can get more views and clicks on her web pages. She's the offline version of a twitter troll, and she got the reaction she wanted.
Kaitlyn claims she was there to innocently ask college students trivia questions about presidents. She likely wanted to find a few OU students who didn't know John Adams was the second president so she could be like, "HA! look how dumb leftist college students are these days!". Now this alone wouldn't warrant much of a reaction, but she's also known to ask a different set of questions.
Go watch some of her videos yourself. These are some examples of the kind of stunts she pulls:
- She walked up to an black couple and told them that she identifies as a Person of Color. When challenged, she responded with, "If a man could identify as a women, why can't I identify as black?"
- She dressed up in a stereotypical Indian costume, face paint and everything, and asked a native american women why she was oppressing her.
- When speaking to a gay couple, she asked if one of the men gives out free blow jobs at parties. She then goes on to say that while she doesn't have a problem with gay people, she thinks their lifestyles are disgusting.
And these are just what I've gathered from her videos in the last 10 minutes. I guarantee there are far more videos of her harassing and insulting people she disagrees with, but I don't want to watch anymore of her videos. I'm afraid that if I listen to her speak, I'll put what remaining brain cells I have left after some hard partying years at OU at risk.
Prior to rolling her tape, she must have done something to provoke the ire of the students. I wasn't there, so I don't know for certain what it could have been, but I heard that she was asking black students if they should "thank a white person for freeing them from slavery". You think we should respect that kind of discourse??? I can almost guarantee that if she was simply asking questions about presidents that none of this would have happened. Hell, on most days, there's a group of people who stand outside the student union with signs that say "God hates fags", and "Repent or Burn in Hell", and OU students just walk past them on their way to class.
Quote:College used to be a place for diversity in thought and tolerance, all it is now is a recruiting grounds and training ground for the left. I'm not singling out Ohio U for this hate and violence, it's a common thread in about 80 percent of campuses
It still is. I grew up in a predominately white, protestant, rural community in NE Ohio. Like 99.5% white. My experience at OU opened me up to the world. In my engineering program alone, I shared classrooms with people of all major religions, political views, and races. In fact, while I admittedly sit on the left side of the political spectrum, most my engineering professors were actually quite conservative. And we all got along great!
Students are tolerant of your sexual orientation, your religious beliefs, your political ideology, the way you self identify, and whether or not you wear Scarlet and Grey on saturdays instead of Green and White.
What they do not tolerate is when a bully shows up on campus to produce a highly edited video to humiliate and disrespect their fellow students. While she has the right as an American to do this, we also have the right to voice our opposition to her actions.
For the record, I draw the line at any physical abuse. I wish the students didn't throw TP at her or water/iced coffee at their vehicle while they were driving away.
I gave you a negative rating because your ignorant/idiotic comment warranted it. You responded with a negative rating which was then met with the same.
