BLM FURY! Calling For Student Body VP Removal For THIS Simple Comment, You WON’T Believe What She Said

Via US Herald

America has always been opposed to totalitarianism – a world where the government regulates every aspect of the individual’s life, including speech.

In fact, our founders felt so strongly about free speech that it was guaranteed it in the first amendment in the Bill of Rights, and generations of soldiers fought and died for it rather than have us go the way of Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia.

So, while it would seem logical that our institutions of higher learning would encourage students to speak their minds, in these politically correct times, those who dare to do so frequently pay the price for exercising that sacred American right.

Rohini Sethi, University of Houston student government vice-president learned that lesson after having the temerity to think for herself, as she was sanctioned by the student government and forced to issue a humiliating apology.

Her crime?

A post on Facebook in the hours after the assassination of five police officers in Dallas that read: “Forget #BlackLivesMatter; more like #AllLivesMatter.”

ALL LIVES MATTER

Guest Post by Officer Jay Stalien

I have come to realize something that is still hard for me to understand to this day. The following may be a shock to some coming from an African American, but the mere fact that it may be shocking to some is prima facie evidence of the sad state of affairs that we are in as Humans.

I used to be so torn inside growing up. Here I am, a young African-American born and raised in Brooklyn, NY wanting to be a cop. I watched and lived through the crime that took place in the hood. My own black people killing others over nothing. Crack heads and heroin addicts lined the lobby of my building as I shuffled around them to make my way to our 1 bedroom apartment with 6 of us living inside. I used to be woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of gun fire, only to look outside and see that it was 2 African Americans shooting at each other.

It never sat right with me. I wanted to help my community and stop watching the blood of African Americans spilled on the street at the hands of a fellow black man. I became a cop because black lives in my community, along with ALL lives, mattered to me, and wanted to help stop the bloodshed.

Mark Zuckerberg Blasts Facebook Staff for Replacing ‘Black Lives Matter’ with ‘All Lives Matter’

Via Breitbart

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reprimanded employees for replacing “Black Lives Matter” slogans with “All Lives Matter” on the walls of the company’s headquarters in San Francisco.

In a private Facebook post obtained by Gizmodo, Zuckerburg told employees that their behaviour was “malicious” and “disrespectful,” and reminded them that there are “specific issues affecting the black community in the United States.”

“This has been a deeply hurtful and tiresome experience for the black community and really the entire Facebook community, and we are now investigating the current incidents,” said Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg went on to encourage employees to take part in the “Black@ town hall” on the 4th of March to “educate themselves about what the Black Lives Matter movement is all about.”

The Facebook CEO is not the only Silicon Valley bigwig to express his support for Black Lives Matter, a movement that has wreaked havoc on US campuses and cities. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is a well-known Black Lives Matter supporter who marched alongside protesters in Ferguson, Missouri and is acquainted with movement leader DeRay Mckesson.

Zuckerberg’s comments come as the company takes an increasingly tough approach to monitor and remove “hate speech” across the platforrm, working with Angela Merkel and the German government, who are particularly concerned with “hate speech” against migrants. It also comes as other silicon valley companies like Twitter and GitHub become increasingly reckless about displaying their political biases.

“All Lives Matter” is a slogan that developed in response to “Black Lives Matter.” It has been defended by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Southern Carolina’s first black senator since the reconstruction, as a more unifying slogan than the latter.

“If it causes offense that I say that ‘all lives matter’ — black lives, white lives, police officers, jurists, all of us, even politicians, all of our lives matter — if that is somehow offensive to someone, that’s their issue, not mine,” Scott told CNN last September.

“If we’re saying that the country has a provocative history on race, I affirm that fact,” he stated. “But for under the circumstances, to find a way forward, it is truly together.”
