Bethune-Cookman is an HBCU. DeVos is a racist, unequipped to be Secretary of Education. She plans to gut funding for HBCUs. She was booed during her speech. DeVos would defund HBCUs if the students greeted her warmly. She will defund HBCUs now that she has been booed. I am proud of the students who protested non-violently. Those students were under no obligation to tolerate the evil represented by DeVos.</p> <p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/betsy-devos-commencement-speech-bethune-cookman_us_5913156de4b050bdca612ad2">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/betsy-devos-commencement-speech-beth...</a></p> </div></div></div> Thu, 11 May 2017 03:21:58 +0000 rmrd0000 comment 237690 at http://dagblog.com Yeah, we just aren't open http://dagblog.com/comment/237622#comment-237622 <a id="comment-237622"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/link/why-liberals-aren-t-tolerant-they-think-22478">Why Liberals Aren’t as Tolerant as They Think</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Yeah, we just aren't open enough to pussy grabbing, shutting down governments to drown it in the bathtub, mass shootings from easy gun access, diverting all the money to the rich, banks stealing people's homes and retirement funds, lying our way into foreign wars, making laws that keep minorities from voting, and cavorting with Russian spies. We should be more tolerant of intolerance, since it's just a difference in cultural values, not substantial issues worth caring about.</p> <p>I mean, look at all those liberals who won't hire conservatives or Christians, or who pay them less or fire them for their dress and comportment, or arrest them just for the way they look, sometimes beating them senseless or even killing them, hundreds of times a month across America.</p> <p>I get religious reservations about abortions. I don' quite grok Christian contempt for the poor, for immigrants, for engaging in divisive politics instead of spreading love, and all those thousands of conservative messages in the Bible last time I read it.</p> <p>But I know that some liberal said Happy Holidays instead of Christmas and sometime in the 60's a hippie supposedly spit on a returning vet, so we're just as responsible for the impasse.</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 09 May 2017 18:43:00 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 237622 at http://dagblog.com
