[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TBH I haven't been following the events at Yale beyond the headlines, but what I see is an emotional ~20yo on a campus trying to speak to an admin, who keeps interrupting her until she becomes loud. Why can't he listen to her at first? I agree that pulling off the backpack was becoming aggressive, but he handled it well at that point by not further escalating the situation.

I hope as she grows older and matures, she is embarrassed (aren't we all of many things), but c'mon she's young and passionate and seeing racism on her campus. And, [b]up to that point she felt like she wasn't being heard.[/b]

I'm white but I remember one year, when I was in my30s, my brother refused to speak to me. That feeling of not having an opportunity to speak, of being shut out, was enraging. People want to feel heard, and in college, kids are suppose to find their voice.[/quote]

1.  Based on that video, [b]she is not being heard probably because she has little to say of value[/b].

2.  She might try listening more and actually talking to people.  And if she acted more civilly, rather than resenting the world because of some perceived racial slight and playing the victim (when she has advantages that a lot of young people would love to have), people just might treat her better.

Harsh. Are you sure this is the message you want to send out to our kids, many of whom will someday be in leadership roles or other positions of power?[/quote]

Its horrifying if these kids are the ones that will be our leaders or other positions of power some day. The other world powers will eat us for breakfast.[/quote]
