Being threatened because your bakesale pricing strategy mirrors a Gov't Policy enacted by/for the people who are crying racisim about the bakesale and threatening you?... makes sense.

I guess they wanted their cake, and to eat it to.

makes my head hurt.

I obviously woke up on the conservitive side of the bed this morning.


A California students' group has sparked a racism and sexism row over plans for a bake sale in which people are charged according to their ethnic background and gender.
Campus Republicans at the University of California, Berkeley say critics have overreacted to their event planned for this week, which they insist is a protest over affirmative action.
The group's Facebook page lists the price of baked goods at the sale according to race: $2 for whites, $1.50 for Asians, $1 for Hispanics, $0.75 for blacks and $0.25 for Native Americans.
"$0.25 FOR ALL WOMEN!" it added.
Campus Republican President Shawn Lewis said the idea of the "Increase Diversity Bake Sale" was to highlight a legislative bill to let California public universities consider race and gender in their admissions process.He said they planned to go ahead with the sale on Tuesday despite protests and threats. "We didn't expect the volume, the amount of response that we got," he told CNN.
"In the first few hours, hundreds of posts on our Facebook page. And the tone of some of the responses -- we expected people to be upset. We didn't expect personal threats to be made.
"They were implicit and explicit threats made to the organizers of the event, from burning down the table to throwing our baked goods at us and other kinds of physical threats."
But the famous US college's student Democrats president Anais LaVoie has asked for an apology.
"The way they made the statement, the words that they used, the fact that they humorized and mocked the struggles of people of color on this campus is very disgusting to me," LaVoie said,

I dont think you 2 would get along too well in the ideology department

[Dozyproductions]

I really like this idea. But the reaction is like burning the person who's just stating the obvious.

[joshh]

Point well made.

And I don't think Kershaw had talking in mind with that gal.

you know, as a personal "stereo type" I always figured the conservatives were the " I will kick your ass" political ideology demographic, but the Liberals seem to be the ones more inclined to threats/acts of violence recently (in the last 10-15 years) what gives?

Way more that the last 15 years. Look at where the ass hat the 0 started his 08 run in the living room of the Bill Ayers a leader of the weather underground, that blew up shit in the late 60's who is now writing our kids text books. Look at how every time something bad happens when someone snaps they always try to paint the T party (who is never at fault) or how they are desperately trying to paint them all as racists. The KKK was originally a DEMOCRAT founded organization. G8 protesters, the NYC protesters this week, Code Pink, PETA, SDS, Weather Underground, Black Panthers, Most unions, the list goes on and on.

this book is the play book written in the 60's that is still being used to this day with great effectiveness.

what joshh said.

per this specific incident, i do though. i agree with the bake sale. i dont know why all the black people were so upset. it's true.


if i were black, i'd be getting mad cupcakes. :D

[mrsleeve]

LOL So a long term lasting meaningful relationship is not what you were getting at, more of a smash and grope thing.

mad cupcakes paid for with your entitlement money ??? (shit did I just say that out loud???)

Don't want to troll the thread but it's the same point you can make about religious radicals, they don't make up the majority. I know my parents are liberals but they would never let any of those organizations ever speak for their ideals.

mad cupcakes paid for by white people. (if i were black.)

since im white im going to be justifiably upset! because we seem to throwing tons of money at all these poor black people and it's not making a difference. so, we should just stop trying to help them. spend money on people that are actually going to have a good future. (like me.)

[Pac1373]

^ and perhaps bring down the price of our own cupcakes!

I am coming off as a major conservative the last few days . I can swing pretty far right on some topics though, and Left on others.
but stupid...well, that has no party affiliation, and this is a great way to boil stupid down to a point where even the least intellegent members of society can't help but understand that this is...stupid...
