Thread: Free Speech violently attacked in Berkeley

As I'm just today learning about this "Milo" it seems to be another case of a no talent who does does 'politco-entertainment' peppered with cultural and social commentary.

These protesters did him a big favor - they gave him boatloads of free publicity.

I think it is and will continue to backfire on them.

Milo did not play these Berkeley malcontents - they played themselves.

yet somehow that didn't stop you from making 11 posts on the thread.

Thanks for counting, Ray.

And a few of my posts on this thread were my attempts to FINALLY get an answer from Humbert.

As I've just learned about this politico-hack, I have chimed in.


(Sheesh, I better try to get some work done or my boss is gonna kill me.)

Since you are on a quest for knowledge. Maybe you can avail yourself of the Milos Yiannopolous Scholarship for White Men. I sure you tick the right boxes for eligibility.

I skimmed the article you linked.

Thanks for sending it, seriously.

I don't have an opinion of a scholarship for white men only.

I don't recall if there are scholarships for only certain ethnic, religious, or racial groups by private organizations.

Is this the case?

I just found this. It appears to be public. Apparently, there are indeed scholarships based on race. The first paragraph says "no, it's not about dissecting," but then gives definitions to qualify as a "minority."

Interracial And Multicultural Scholarships

How We Separate Race from Culture and Embrace All
Qualifying for scholarship money is not about dissecting your ancestral bloodline. Or is it? Let’s face it; the United States is a melting pot of multiculturalism that leads to a wide variety of ethnic unions. As a result, college students hail from diverse backgrounds that often include multiple racial components. Minority scholarships are largely defined as those awards reserved for students of Hispanic, African-American, Asian, and Native American ethnicity. Where does that leave the large segment of the U.S. college student body that doesn’t fit neatly into a single ethnic category?

Do African American and Native American students qualify for the same scholarships? How about a university student that is part Caucasian and part Hispanic; does being of mixed racial heritage disqualify him or her from certain types of scholarships? And what about the cultural challenges faced by Arabic and Indian students?—many do not technically fit the eligibility criteria for traditional minority scholarships in the U.S., yet they are ethnic minorities nonetheless.

The answers to multi-racial college financing questions do not lie amid the sweeping generalizations we employ to distinguish ourselves from one another. Instead, each scholarship offer holds the particular keys to its own brand of philanthropy. Some student aid funds target specific groups, or even individual subsets of minority populations; while other financial aid options are available to broadly defined categories of students.

Interracial scholarships

As you assemble your college financing package, consider every personal attribute that might help you land college grants and scholarships – including your race. Look at each minority scholarship as a funding opportunity, and familiarize yourself with the precise terms of each offer. Even a small ethnic entry in your family tree may be enough to start you on your way toward multicultural student aid.

How Do You Culturally, Socially, and Racially Identify Yourself?
The spirit of many minority and multicultural student aid programs is to increase educational representation among under-served student groups. In many cases, financial hardship and minority status go hand-in-hand, so even financial aid that is primarily need-based benefits ethnic students. For mixed race individuals, the cultural heritage with which a person most closely identifies usually defines his or her race. According to the U.S. Census, individuals choose to “closely” associate themselves racially in a number of different ways. And Census responses are not always black and white, some individuals react to questions of race with write-in “interracial” replies.

If your lineage is mixed, but you put your dominant cultural foot forward 100% of the time, you will come to be known for that cultural trait. But the financial aid industry is concerned with every single aspect of your heritage, so if you are 1/4 Hispanic American; you are considered a minority. Moreover, if your background is mixed, it might open doors to a variety of grants and scholarships that specifically speak to your varied heritage and multicultural ancestry.

Multi-Racial Scholarships
Your layer cake of financial aid begins with general funds that everyone competes for. Beyond Pell Grants and Federal Direct Loans, your pool of financial aid resources includes merit-based scholarships and other assistance you earn through high achievement. Your college major, state of residence, and ethnic heritage also provide unique financial aid avenues for you to explore. These scholarships support multi-racial education among mixed-race college students:

Soul 2 Seoul is a non-profit organization dedicated to furthering the educational goals of a very specific multicultural student group. College students whose cultural backgrounds include African American and Asian roots are invited to compete for Soul 2 Seoul scholarship dollars that can be used for higher education expenses. The organization raises funds from private donors, before matching donations and distributing aid to qualified scholarship winners.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs puts forth unique examples of inter-racial higher education funding. Students must prove 1⁄4 Native American heritage to apply for BIA scholarship funds. Outside that ¼, your ethnic constitution can be African American, Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, or any combination thereof. Eligibility requirements include financial need and acceptance at a four-year degree-granting institution. Many recipients of the annual BIA awards come from multicultural/multi-racial families.
Wheaton College defines specific criteria for winning the multi-racial James E. Burr Minority Scholarship. Students must prove 1⁄4 cultural lineage within a minority group, including African, Asian, Hispanic and Native American. The scholarship is named after an abolishonist who is buried on the college campus. Originated in 1987, the award is granted based on each student’s academic standing, level of need and submitted essay. Each annual scholarship award is valued between $1500-$4000.
Calvin Theological Seminary features a Multiracial Student Scholarship Fund. The student aid supports the seminary’s mission to attract minority students from all backgrounds into faith-based ministry careers.
What Makes Multicultural Scholarships Different?
Multicultural scholarships are slowly finding larger audiences. While eligibility for each award hinges on specific requirements, multicultural scholarship programs share the common goal of promoting higher education among ethnic student populations.

Idaho State University provides a Multi-Ethnic/Minority Scholars Program that generates student aid for “underrepresented” students. Eligibility requirements include a high GPA and an interest in bio-research.

Salve Regina University in Rhode Island has traditionally offered their Aquidneck Island Multicultural Scholarship to students from the region who can prove that they are “members of one of the four federally recognized minority groups.” Administrators have recently expanded program criteria to embrace other students “[committed] to diversity and multiculturalism.”

Ohio University Multicultural Scholarships include Urban Scholars, King/Chavez/Parks Award, and the Templeton Scholars Program—each program focuses on producing student populations that correct imbalances ineducation and career representation among certain minority groups.

Scholarships Embrace Diversity

Scholarships that serve diverse student populations are alternately called multicultural, multiracial, interracial, and multi-ethnic. Don’t get caught up in the language, each of these student aid initiatives is designed to lift multicultural citizens into the ranks of higher education.

There is no scientific definition of what constitutes a ‘minority’ student, especially in society’s evolving cultural melting-pot that continues to churn out eager college students of all creeds and colors. Use your own diverse make-up to uncover financial aid for college – including your ancestry and cultural identity. Tap general aid and minority scholarships, but also embrace your multi-cultural heritage to land scholarship dollars for college.


College Scholarship Programs for Ethnic and Multicultural Students

The shite supremists of DNC aided and abetted by its media arm, the fake news site CNN, have been trying to spin the violence at Berkley as the work of right wing infiltrators there to make the protests look bad.

This bs has been busted wide open. One of the so called antifa rioters is a current member of staff at berkley (his pay records to 2013 have been located), but he confirmed he works at berkely in an interview to a newspaper.

He was boasting about KOing a Trump supporter on social media, now is is frantically pulling his accounts, too late scumbag.

This is what libtards harbour and try to hide under their 'this is not what we are like' sanctimonious posteriors.

FIRST ON TRR: A UC Berkeley Rioter Has Been Exposed, & He's a University Staff Member!

If you open the link you will see the evidence.

He allegedly gave an interview to the New York Daily News, which is about the dumbest thing in the world. This places him directly at the scene. It also says he is a current staffer (directory link), which there was some confusion over since we only have pay stubs going back to 2013 in our search.

You are such a brainwashed utter spastic. A laughable dimwit that no one should take seriously.

You should donate the Bowling Green massacre fund. Apparently according to Kelly Ann Conway there was a terrible Muslim terrorist massacre there. Do your part...

I took a good long look at the "evidence" and can't make heads nor tails of it. Could you please explain what exactly the "evidence" is? Ralph doesn't explain well.

What Is Antifa? Anti-Fascist Group Behind Violent Berkeley Protest Against Milo Yiannopoulos

Violent protests that led to the cancellation of a speech by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos at the University of California, Berkeley Wednesday night has cast a spotlight on a group of anti-fascist activists known as “Antifa.”

Following the unrest, Yiannopoulos ascribed the violence to the general “Left” and President Donald Trump even called for taking away funds from the prestigious university. However, according to reports, the protests were peaceful until a group of several dozen black-face-mask-clad activists showed up. Soon, videos showed them shooting fireworks at the building and smashing windows.

Such a physically confrontational approach characterizes “Antifa” and separates it from the organic protests that have sprung up in the wake of Trump’s inauguration as president.

“We won’t put up with the violent rhetoric of Milo, Trump or the fascistic alt-right,” one Berkeley student who said he identified with the “Antifa” movement told The Guardian. “We are willing to resist by any means necessary.”

It was the same anti-fascist movement that was behind the “Disrupt J20” protests in Washington, D.C., on the day of Trump’s inauguration, leading to injuries to police officers, who retaliated with pepper spray and stun grenades. On the same day, the man who coined the term alt-right and appeared to give a Nazi salute while celebrating Trump’s election victory, Richard Spencer, was punched in the face in a video that went viral across social media.

“Antifa combines radical left-wing and anarchist politics, revulsion at racists, sexists, homophobes, anti-Semites, and Islamophobes, with the international anti-fascist culture of taking the streets and physically confronting the brownshirts of white supremacy, whoever they may be,” Antifa NYC told The Nation last month.

“Antifa” dates back much further that Trump and the rise of the alt-right. The movement began in Europe as a response to the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930s. One of the first notable clashes occurred in London in 1936 at the Battle of Cable Street, when a march of 5,000 uniformed Blackshirts led by the leader of the British Union of Fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley, was greeted by an estimated 100,000 anti-fascist protesters.

The form of protest spread to the United States in the following decades and has attracted fresh prominence following the rise of Trump, who has surrounded himself with several advisors and cabinet members espousing far-right views.

The opening line of the latest post from the NYC Antifa group makes clear that they are anticipating plenty of activity in the year ahead. “2017 promises to be a busy year for antifascists around the world,” it reads.

It is very interesting how silent Clinton and Obama are when it comes to condemning this kind of violence.

Sure is. What's up with that? Neither of the Bushes condemned the violence, nor did Bernie Sanders or Mitt Romney. Heard absolutely nothing out of any of the also-rans and past presidents, come to think of it! How dare they not speak up.

Never hear of this Milo gezzer until last week and the riots to stop him speaking, no such thing as bad publicity. Nancy boy who talks a lot of sense:

Perhaps they're showing their truer colours.
Establishment and traditional convention cover is the clarion regardless of the invented political identities.

All apart of the same agendas and schemes.

Just a thought.

university is the time to broaden your horizons, as it were, and learn critical thinking skills like how to view things from different perspectives.

the left on uni campuses these days reminds me of kindergarten when the teacher told us to bring out our towels and have a nap.

really doubt even the most left wing td poster believes this political correctness (taken to an extreme) is good for a university education.

berkeley students: please, we needed a trigger warning (months notice) for us to get our beanbags, twinkies and cupcakes ready in various safe spaces around the campus."

So what would be the outcome of them commenting on people protesting about Trump's policies and taking offense to those who take offense with those people.

It's not up to them to weigh in on American protests, is it? As you've repeatedly said, Trump won the election, it's up to him to deal with the shit storm.

Or are you expecting them to help Trump's "governance" of the country? Trump's a winner, just ask him. He knows what needs to be done so why involve the "losers" ....unless they might have more experience in running a country than he does?

Berkeley fucked up by destroying shit....they're supposed to be smarter that that...

The guy is a fuckwit troll, they should have treated him accordingly, rather than lose respect with with violence.

Don't be stupid, fuck with the regime with wit, humor and understanding towards those they hurt...that will fuck with them more than trashing a pub.

Oops, my bad, disgruntled Clinton/Obama supporters, have nothing to do with the current rioting, looting and burning.

Completely unrelated, yeppers...

Same with me, Thai3.

I had never heard of him prior to 2-3 days ago.

He's going to ride this publicity for a while. The Berkely protesters handed up a golden nugget, in addition to looking like idiots for much of the American public.

It'll cause more blowback from people like me.

I may change my mind, but I will not vote for any Dems in any office positions b/c so many of their policies are not what I'm supporting at the moment.
