Black Lives Matter... At least they matter more then any other lives at Harris-Stowe State University.
Black Lives Matter only exists to justify racism under the guise of white privilege.
Whats racist about stating that Black Lives Matter will not be satisfied until reverse discrimination is the new normal? And its not juts BLM bigots working to achieve that bigoted goal, consider the Muslim point of view:
Here is an article illustrating the bigotry and creeping arrogance and defiance of LIE-berals and their civil service Hog pals! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Jewish Ryerson student 'felt targeted' over placement request.

TORONTO - All Ryerson social work grad Rebecca Katzman wanted was to do her third-year placement at one of two respected Toronto Jewish organizations with a track record of addressing social justice issues.
The 22-year-old, who will graduate with her Bachelor of Social Work degree on June 8, said her desire to be placed at either the Prosserman Jewish Community Centre (JCC) or the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) was “sparked” by a combination of actions at Ryerson — among them the anti-Semitism she experienced on campus.
(So she is Jewish anyway- hence her preference for work at a Jewish centre and already feels she has been singled out for unfair treatment on one of our multicultural institutions simply for being Jewish.)
However, she wasn’t prepared in the slightest for what happened with her third-year placement coordinator in the faculty of social work, Heather Bain.
After making it clear to Bain about her preferred placement, Katzman said the field coordinator advised her in an e-mail in late August of 2015 she did not follow up with the JCC or UJA because their values appeared to be “in opposition” to the values of the School of Social Work.
(There is a hugely subjective and personal opinion! Toronto socialists sympathize with loons at Ontario Coalition Against Poverty. Our idiot Boy Justin sees nothing wrong with restoring Cdn tax payer funding to terror group Hamas. Our idiot mayor John Tory can throw money at Black Lives Matter and our wretched premier Wynne-bag can suck up to BLM as well.....but a long time Jewish organization operated by CDN CITIZENS who genuinely represent main street Canada rather than extremist opinions has wrong values?)
Bain listed those values as the advancement of anti-oppression; anti-racism; anti-colonialism and decolonization; feminism; anti-capitalism; Queer and trans liberation struggles; issues in disability and madness (cct); among others (many of which are not listed on the school’s own website.)
“My understanding is both agencies have a strong anti-Palestinian lean,” Bain continued, suggesting that if Katzman agreed to bring a “critical awareness” (of Palestinian solidarity movements) to either agency she might reconsider.
(Thats odd- Islam is alleged- by its supporters- to be the religion of peace- yet it does not prevent them from murdering Christians in the name of Prophet Mohammed? And it does not prevent Muslims from murdering each other as the Sunni/Shi-ite war rages on. And prominent Muslim clerics have appeared at a Calgary convention and discussed the circumstances under which Gays should be executed. And Imans have explained to us how women are inferior and should not evne be allowed out of the house without male permission and a male escort!)
( Muslims are known to be less than tolerant of females having civil rights- so much so that when our premier Wynne-bag went to a mosque to apologize on our behalf for some kook in Quebec shooting 6 Muslims, they made her sit in the back with the other second class citizens-all their women! Though I suppose we should be grateful they declined to comment on her sexual preferences! Or perhaps they simply figure that when the Cdn Caliphate is established and Sharia Law has stripped her of money and power, she can then be given as wife to some guy who will rape her till she learns to appreciate men properly?)
While the two agencies where Katzman wanted to be placed are known to be pro-Israel, she said their web sites do not indicate any anti-Palestinian policies in the slightest.
(No anti PLO statements on the web site? What a SHARP CONTRAST to so many Muslim web sites full of radical writings! In fact a report was prepared by two reporters and printed in main stream Cdn media and the report illustrates that there is NOTHING BUT radical writings on Cdn Muslim web sites! Out of such bigotry and hypocrisy is the LIE-beral policy of anti Islamophobia fashioned! It is radical LIE-berals pushing boundaries that ordinary Cdns often don’t notice nor have time to properly police and object to!)
Katzman, who waited until she was ready to graduate to tell her story for fear of retaliation from the faculty, said she was devastated by Bain’s e-mail.
“I felt targeted as a Jewish student,” she said, noting she’s coming forward because she wants the university to investigate as well as a public apology.
(I have spoken of this sort of thing before. As our civil service Hog unions gain ever more power- they acquire the ability to HARM the economic life of people who hold values they do not approve of. Think Hog unions are greedy? Then you might perhaps find your property taxes re-assessed UPWARDS? Think LIE-berals are nuts? You might find your business audited by Rev Can? Don’t like Our idiot Boy Justin or Wynne-bag or the Sorry Tory mayor of Toronto? Then you are CLEARLY UNSUITED to a well paid job in govt etc!)
When she challenged Bain about her contentions, the field placement officer responded on Aug. 25, 2015 that she consulted with Jewish colleagues who are part of “Jews Against Israeli Apartheid movements” before making her decision not to pursue those placements.
(OH that`s nice! The placement officer seeks balanced advice from the most radical group to be found- other than at the nearest Mosque! Its like asking Germans in 1938 if they think Hitler is dangerous!)
When Katzman — with the support of a pro-Israeli campus organization called Stand With Us- she was awarded a fellowship from them- indicated in a Sept. 4 follow-up e-mail she’d booked a meeting with then-Ryerson president Sheldon Levy to address the matter, both Bain’s boss. Kristie Wright and Bain herself wrote back indicating “misinformed information” had been provided to her.
(I have said before that nobody back tracks and retracts faster than a Muslim or a LIE-beral when confronted! Muslims and LIE-berals are masters of the shadows and the stab in the back type undermining of enemies!)
They also indicated that the school of social work does not require their partner agencies to “align with Palestinian solidarity movements” to be considered for placement.
Katzman confirmed in a recent interview that at no time did they offer to place her at either agency and she ended up completing her third-year placement at an organization serving kids with autism.
(She should probably be grateful they did not force her to work with a Palestinian group in order to expand her mind somehow!)
“It really discouraged me from wanting to pursue a Jewish sort of placement (in my fourth year) because I didn’t want to go through that (same) emotional stress,” she said. “My last two years were very rough.”
(And since she is dealing with hypocrites there would also be the danger of being marked down as `unsuitable` as a social worker if she insisted on working with a Jewish Agency- with resulting damage to her career prospects!)
I tried to reach dean Lisa Barnoff- an expert in anti-oppressive practices, anti-racism, feminist and LGBT issues; Wright and Bain herself - who came to Ryerson from the 519 Community Centre. I also contacted Tanya DiMello, the university’s director of Human Rights and a former NDP candidate, who attended a Sept. 16, 2015 meeting in Levy’s place. None of these women responded to my phone calls and e-mails over two days.
Levy did respond, saying he was on his “way out at the time” but that he took pride in never saying “no” to a request to meet with students.
(But it seems he WILL NOT meet with reporters exposing bigotry at Ryerson on behalf of a student there!)
Michael Forbes, Ryerson’s group director of communications, insisted in an e-mail Friday that the School of Social Work took “quick, thorough and responsive action on this matter.
“Once the student’s concerns about the Aug. 25, 2015 e-mail was brought to our attention, the field education coordinator immediately contacted the student, apologized, corrected the information and requested a meeting with the student to address any of the student’s questions and concerns,” he wrote, refusing to say whether Bain was disciplined.
Forbes added that Ryerson has a “strong history of placing students at a diverse range of institutions, corporations and organizations, including the Prosserman Jewish Community Centre” and they are “proud” of this history.
According to the e-mail trail provided to the Toronto Sun, that alleged “immediate” apology came on Sept. 9, two full weeks after her original e-mail and only after Katzman lodged a complaint with Levy’s office.
(IN other words they were hoping it would all fade away and Ryerson staff could continue unimpeded with their bigotry, free from public prying eyes!)
Meryle Lee Kates, executive director of StandWithUs Canada, believes this kind of thing — what she calls an “abuse of podium” — is happening in different variations in many other university courses.
“There is this zeitgeist about intersectionality and white privilege,” Kates said.
Kates said even though Katzman complained through all of the correct administrative channels, the issue was essentially swept under the rug.
“This is a hijacked version of social justice that is anti-Semitic,” she said. “If you can’t go to work for a Jewish organization doing good work, something is wrong with that.”

(I say this creeping bigotry and meddling in political affairs by un-elected union Hogs will be the way of the future thanks to the mad lust for power, at any price, of our LIE-beral overlords! It is distorted and twisted LIE-beral values of “inclusion” and “equality” that are allowing this bigotry to spread as LIE-berals selectively BUY votes simply so they can cling to power!)
