Honestly, don't think this is some kid but an adult attempting to hijack whenever there's an opening.
Of course, Affirmative Action is a volatile subject but it inevitably turns into political discussion. What do you think of this discussion is heading and do we have to see it go political in college discussion? http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/255/517622.page |

I think you are being a little harsh on the guy. Another poster revived the thread in light of Scalia's death. Paleocon simply replied to that and then a number of other posters joined in. Scalia had a significant role in that case -- including his repugnant remark about black students. It seems natural to discuss the implications of his death on the case and such discussion would naturally involve points similar to what Paleocon made (as well as those points made by the other posters).

Fair enough. Let's see where that thread inevitably will go. I won't be so harsh on the little guy. |
Hee hee! I saw what you did, pp. |
The little guy is in high school. |
I think Jeff is paleoconprep. He logs with his paleoconprep id to sock puppet is own site. It's brilliant! I bet it's been years in the making. ![]() |
It is true that when I was in high school my political views were not all that far from Paleocon's. But, I grew out of them fast and never would want to return to those days. Maybe that's why I have patience with him. |
![]() I think you need to do an AMA. |
Wow!! Indeed!! ![]() |
Say what! ![]() |
That's interesting. Paying for college scaring you? |
It seems that the College forum is now the Political forum to spout Paleocon's approval of the truth by John Derbyshire and the like, posting under the guise of looking for schools. Free speech understood.
Let's see, Paleocon vs UMD booster. I'll go with the booster. Pain in the ass and MAJOR annoyance? YES. But there has never been a hint of racism from the UMD booster. However, best to just not open his threads. If Jeff can hang with him and the present College Forum soap box discussion option about the talk to non-black children, I guess I can too with the 'don't open the thread' option. |
UMD Booster is far more disruptive than Paleocon. You can easily skip Paleocon's few threads. UMD Booster shows up just about everywhere. While UMD Booster's racism may not be apparent, he is obsessed with homosexuality, abortion, and anal sex. I can certainly do without his posts on those topics. I've deleted Paleocon's latest thread, but I again think you guys are not fair to him. You really should just skip his threads. What happened in this one is that he posed his question about colleges. He was asked about the phrase "cultural Marxism" that he used and a couple of posters criticized speakers that he mentioned. When he responded to those posters, you reported his thread. You sort of prove his point that non-PC speech is not welcome at colleges. |
I think Paleocon has every right to voice his opinion. It's a right guaranteed, and I have the same right. Never, never did I concur or agree that non-PC speech shouldn't be welcomed at colleges. Never! And it is wrong of you to imply that and totally unfair on your part. Damn straight I take strong offense at someone referring to African-American kids as thieves and other denigrating remarks and whites should have a discussion about keeping their children away from blacks. It stinks to high hell. And for the record, respectfully, while you were muttering your first words, I was young and observing attack dogs being loosened on those begging for free speech. My parents took me to see the KKK marching through Skokie, IL to guarantee their right to free speech AND to guarantee the right of those in Skokie to respond regardless of how contemptible and reprehensible the KKK remarks. That same right of free speech expression to respond to African American aggressors in Chicago Gage Park was met with attack dogs, fire hoses, and batons (not just by police but by citizens). THAT is part of what I've seen. So, I take great exception on your remark about associating me with non-PC free speech. Free speech that is rightfully afforded Paleocon should be allowed to all dissenting. The College forum that is provided Paleocon is a prerogative that should be provided with alternative views allowed, no matter how equally inflammatory and accusatory towards whites (of course in well written verse as Paleocon's toward minorities). Paleocon has every right to consider John Derbyshire a hero and the right to speak at Williams as long as the right of contradiction by someone of color is afforded equal time. Honestly, I'm sure that right would be criticized by Paleocon. Well, I have said my peace/piece and no further comment from me. Also, I didn't realize UMD booster was that big of an ass. Guess I've missed many of his reprehensible remarks. |
