Topic: ‘U’ Students Want Crime Alerts To Avoid Using Racial Descriptions

[Pandora]

At Wednesday’s forum, Ian Taylor Jr., president of the Black Men’s Forum, said members of his organization feel threatened when the use of a racial description is given in the crime alerts.

There's been an uptick in crime on campus, nevertheless, a letter protesting the inclusion of race in suspect descriptions was mailed to the president and vice-president of University Services because "while campus safety is crucial, the profiling can be devastating for black male students."

It's not like tards only capable of African American Studies have anything else to worry their empty heads about...like contemplating a lifetime of employment in low level food service, utilizing that African American Studies Degree.

We have a long progressive history of caving into most every racial extortion scheme and demand that comes out of such outfits primarily because your average run-of-the-mill beta caucasion progressive is especially senstive to what many call "white guilt" and will literally bend themselves into all sorts of odd shapes to appease minorities (which inlcudes, all non-whites, women [progressives], gays, lesbians, transgender critters, etc etc).

Hopefully, when somebody dies as a result of a non-racial specific warning, friends/family of the victim sue the U into oblivion and nobody ever sends their kid to their school ever again.

 "Alert!  A...umm...person....is lose...with a weapon, maybe, I dunno....and has, uhh...allegedly been engaving in unwanted sexual advances of a non-consensual manner with allegedly violent intent, towards women...and his...well, a breeder obviously, so most of our GLBT students are safe...and is, umm...I dunno...he's out there so look out for...a guy...with a weapon of some sort, don't know what, and he may have a blue or green jacket and white or red pants and, ahh....umm..."

IDIOTS!

Now back to your regularly scheduled African American Studies classes.

I am so beyond tired of this Alice In Wonderland bullsh*t we have to endure on a daily basis.

“[We] unanimously agree that campus safety should be of the UMPD’s utmost importance; however, efforts to reduce crime should never be at the expense of our Black men, or any specific group of people likely to be targeted. In addition to causing Black men to feel unsafe and distrusted, racial profiling is proven to inflict negative psychological effects on its victims.”

Got that? We should do nothing to protect people from ACTUAL  threats and acts of violence if it might lead to someone FEELING unsafe and distrusted. Every F'ing one of them deserves to be the victim of violent crime - and don't complain- because no one of a protected ethic group  was made to feel unsafe and distrusted as you were raped, beaten and stabbed and left to die on the cold  pavement by a man who had done it 15 times before, but was never caught because of the color of his skin..

Besides,  we do this now.  They report that a crime was committed and they don't name the ethnicity the omission means that they are a person  of color.  After all, why mention something that you you would be right guessing a disproportionate amount of the time?

Muhammad Mooshyeite al-Quali can be any race.

Melana Taniqua Johnson needs no other description, nor does Dreboy Rufus Jackson.

Just give the names; no description needed.
