Is This the Type of Big Brother Action We’ll Get From an Obama Presidency
The May 9 edition of the New York Post carries a short article by an Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis student named Keith John Sampson. He tells a story of how he was charged with “racial harassment” simply because he was “caught” reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book. I’m not kidding…
It is sad and pathetic that there are so many blacks who have been reduced to whining fools - and it is damnably annoying that the rest of the country has to put up with their never ending litany of complaints. What ever happened to black pride? They seem to have been, for the most part - at least the most vocal part - reduced to being simply beggars, bullies, and, little nazis. Such as affirmative action officer - whatever the hell that is - Lillian Charleston, a poster child for the mediocrity her job title has foisted off on this country.
It seems little Miss Lillian is still hiding under her bed from the KKK.
The book was Todd Tucker’s ‘Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan’; I was reading it on break from my campus job as a janitor. The same book is in the university library . . . .
But that didn’t stop the Affirmative Action Office of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis from branding me as a detestable Klansman.They didn’t want to hear the truth. The office ruled that my ‘repeatedly reading the book . . . constitutes racial harassment in that you demonstrated disdain and insensitivity to your co-workers.’
And when the hell did it become a crime to express contempt, disdain or any other emotional response. This is the height of anal-retentive inanity. Colleges need to introduce the concept of growing a spine, but then, that would serve to defeat the agenda.
Upon review of this matter, we conclude that your conduct constitutes racial harassment in that you demonstrated disdain and insensitivity to your co-workers who repeatedly requested that you refrain from reading the book which has such an inflammatory and offensive topic in their presence. You contend that you werent aware of the offensive nature of the topic and were reading the book about the KKK to better understand discrimination.
However you used extremely poor judgment by insisting on openly reading the book related to a historically and racially abhorrent subject in the presence of your Black co-workers. Furthermore, employing the legal “reasonable person standard,” a majority of adults are aware of and understand how repugnant the KKK is to African Americans, their reactions to the Klan, and the reasonableness of the request that you not read the book in their presence.
During your meeting with Marguerite Watkins, Assistant Affirmative Action Officer [sic] you were instructed to stop reading the book in the immediate presence of your co-workers and when reading the book to sit apart from the immediate proximity of these co-workers. Please be advised, any future substantiated conduct of a similar nature could result in serious disciplinary action. (Source)
Get a life Miss Charleston - if you are even capable of a life lived without your victim credentials. But hey, you make over 100,000 a year performing as a buffoon. I imagine that will be too hard for you to give up.
Is this what we have to look forward to with an Obama presidency? Will the incessant ululating of the ever so precious victim class crescendo to an ever more shrill pitch? In every instance of Obama being criticized or challenged, will America have to endure even more of this racial claptrap?
George Bush , over the last eight years, has been pilloried, maligned and caricatured in the most foul, vile manner imaginable, in every format, in all media. Do you want to imagine how similar attacks on Obama will be received? If Miss Charleston has anything to say about it, you best be prepared to watch free speech tied up in a strait jacket of hate crime “laws”.
Not related, but it is worth noting that censorship is on the Islamic agenda too. It is so very clear that CAIR and other muslim groups have successfully adapted the victim template perfected by the Jackson/Sharpton wing of race hucksters. It makes the terrorist and Muslim support that Obama is receiving all the more unnerving. The symbiosis between these groups is as toxic as anything this nation has ever faced.

I don’t know about how things are where you live Zee, but out here in the weeds the laws have become seriously draconian. Example: Two men are having an argument and one grabs the other by the shirt and threatens to “Punch his lights out!”; no blows are traded, just raised voices and anger. The results can be a 2 year PRISON term for terrorist threats! I’m serious as a heart attack. I know someone this happened to. Everyone is expected to act in a polite and civil manner at all times, just like in the 2nd grade - or take a big helping of hard time.
There are times I read articles like those found in the Post and wonder what would happen if he just meekly agreed, then stood up and kicked the living s#&t out of her! Yup, most certainly hard time is coming his way! The world is being run by clueless bureaucrats.
Namby-pamby, hand wringing, emasculated, castrated, fat, stuffed, effete, shiftless, lazy,festering scofflaws - that is what the West has become - no wonder the islamofascists are licking their chops.
re: “…no wonder the islamofascists are licking their chops.”
YES! That’s exactly what they’re doing. Russia and the countries of the Iron Curtain for years sought to overthrow the west through confrontation - it didn’t work. Now the theocratic empire of Muhammad seeks to overcome the west and our ideologies through infiltration, subversion and minor confrontation. They’re getting further than Russian confrontation ever did.
Zee, unbelievable, isn’t it? By the judicial use of these ‘hate’ laws, they’ve basically placed a wall of protection around Obama in that nobody will know what could be said in criticism of him or whether it could be construed as ‘hate speech’.
I believe the PC crowd are at least as big an enemy as the Islamofascists.
Hey Rancid
Yes, but Khrushchev did predict we’d hang ourselves… they may be muslim but they are the same spiritual ilk as the Stalinists and commies and every other wretched totalitarian breed.
Hi there Aurora,
Yup, and here is another brick in that wall.
Navarrette: If You Don’t Like Obama, You’re a Racist
It’s such willful ignorance, it stuns me. In the meantime, war, jihad, the devastating perpetuation of the Gore myth devouring the economy and the food supply, creeping sharia, - none of it enters into this damnable electoral contest and it makes me livid.
I am done with this race crap. I’ll be damn if I am going to hold any man’s freaking pigment as sacred. And I am damn sick of this continuing fallacy that Europeans are the only ones guilty of slavery. Again, freaking muslims and arabs get a pass .
The whole damn civil rights era may as well never have happened. There is a vindictive spirit animating the Obama’s of the world and retribution and reparations and revenge are the three Rs in which that spirit is schooled. It has nothing to do with transcending the perverse human need to control, to enslave, but everything to do with usurping power and “getting back at whitey”.
Of that I have no doubt. Islam would be impotent against a robust healthy West. A west not damned with this curse of self-flagellating guilt the nihilists and gramsci whores have eviscerated her with. Islam succeeds because the guardians of the west have become as foul as the middle east - there is no resistance. Like goes to like.
I fear those of us who would fight have not the numbers to prevail. We certainly do not have the media - and that is the prime weapon of the left and all the soros clones that distribute it. And we haven’t the weaponry or surveillance - and we can do nothing with an economy that is being purposely driven into a hole by whatever forces are perpetuating this gore driven oil “crisis” and artificially perpetuated famine.
I just wish we could just all fall back, access our resources and go underground. But we are everywhere, dispersed across the globe, and the means by which we communicate now are not controlled by us. Nothing is, it would seem.
I wonder if the PC-brigade would have been shrieking and squealing if the book was something along the lines of Death to the Jews or Kill Whites or something, i’m think NO.
“Is this what we have to look forward to with an Obama presidency?”
Oh definitely, post-racial, bwahahaha.
And you’d be right MK. Hell, “Death to the Jews” is probably an approved textbook in the curriculum
