Berkeley Protesters Demand 'Spaces Of Color ' & Harass White Students Trying To Pass

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/10/24/berkeley-protesters-demand-spaces-color-harass-white-students-trying-to-pass.html/

Left-wing students at the University of California, Berkeley are protesting again. This time, however, these students are calling for “safe spaces” for transgendered people, as well as “spaces of color” at the University (which they already have).

The protesters are also harassing white students trying to study, barring their path across a key bridge while allowing students of color safe passage.

The protest, which began last Friday, blocked Berkeley’s Sather Gate, disrupted studying students in the Student Union, and blocked traffic at the intersection of Telegraph and Bancroft in front of campus.

In video of the protest, the so-called anti-racism protesters were seen denying passage across the bridge to white students — shouting “go around” — while happily allowing students of color to pass through.

After blocking the bridge, the protesting students moved towards the front of campus to occupy the front of the student store, because they felt it interfered with their “safe spaces”.

Berkeley has been crappy since the sixties!

SDS

Then, on October 1, the University of California, Berkeley exploded into the dramatic and prolonged agony that was the free speech movement. Led by a charismatic Friends of SNCC student activist named Mario Savio, upwards of three thousand students surrounded a police car in which a student was being taken away, arrested for setting up an informational card table for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in defiance of the University's ban on politics. The sit-down prevented the police car from moving for 32 hours. The demonstrations, meetings and strikes that resulted all but shut the university down. Hundreds of students were arrested.[9]WIKI

Dumb American Youth

Do you wonder why Sen. Bernie Sanders and his ideas are so popular among American college students? The answer is that they, like so many other young people who think they know it all, are really uninformed and ignorant. You say, "Williams, how dare you say that?! We've mortgaged our home to send our children to college." Let's start with the 2006 geographic literacy survey of youngsters between 18 and 24 years of age by National Geographic and Roper Public Affairs.

Less than half could identify New York and Ohio on a U.S. map. Sixty percent could not find Iraq or Saudi Arabia on a map of the Middle East, and three-quarters could not find Iran or Israel. In fact, 44 percent could not locate even one of those four countries. Youngsters who had taken a geography class didn't fare much better. By the way, when I attended elementary school, during the 1940s, we were given blank U.S. maps, and our assignment was to write in the states. Today such an assignment might be deemed oppressive, if not racist.

UC Berkeley...one of the most highly respected public institutions of
higher learning in not only the United States but also world-wide.
Their list of accolades and awards is undeniable, their list of notable
alumni is long and illustrious.....the consensus opinion of intelligent
people throughout the world agrees this university is one of the finest
to be found anywhere.....public or private....

Give me their money and I can make the press see it our way too! The right amount of money or influential "friends" can make anyone look good in the press!

In spite of truth or evidence I might add.....

Just ask a Clinton! laugh

When I was 11, buying a big world atlas was a requirement for Social Studies class. (Public grammar school).
And yes, the assignments would be considered oppressive & racist.
There are areas/territories, in the world, now REFERRED to as STATES. And a few that are neither, & think they are COUNTRIES or states.
And lets not forget the infamous " No Go Zones".
