BLM protesters on campus right now
Looks like some sort of black lives matter protest happening on campus right now around rudder. 30 or so black people with tape on their mouths being escorted by police. I'd love to stay and watch but I have to get to work.

Well I care that you are on campus, making it a worse place for everyone. You sound like a terrible Aggie, bad bull.

Well at least you've made it very clear that it's not just BLM you dislike, it's all minorities. I prefer my racists to be open about it so I know who to avoid.

This is what happens when you open your mouth about things you don't understand and can't be bothered to do a modicum of research. You assume that minority students have the same opportunities as white students and thus are being given an advantage. You do this because you can't be bothered to try to understand what minority students go through. You have no clue to the stats that show that minority students are poorer, have far worse schools, have less access to higher education, and have more difficulty when they do make it in for a variety of reasons (having slurs yelled at you on a fairly regular basis not the least of which). You apparently are unaware that minorities lag behind in degree achievement at every level. Minorities suffer systemic racism at every turn within the education system. There's mountains upon mountains of literature on this along with statistical analysis backed up by decades of economic and sociological data. You're unaware of all of this, right?
Actually, you're probably not. Its pretty hard to be this ignorant unless its willful. Your final sentence is quite telling:
"Equal opportunity, not equal results"
Your implication is quite clear. Minorities are receiving an equal opportunity at A&M and other education institutions and just aren't getting equal results. Why are they not receiving equal results, then? In order for one to believe that two groups are receiving an equal opportunity and one group is lagging behind, one must believe that the lagging group is simply deficient. So, whether it is that they are lazier, dumber, or whatever other deficiency you want to make it, the idea that minorities are receiving an equal opportunity but not equal result is about as racist as it gets.
Here's a tip: If you want to fool people into thinking you're not racist, then you should avoid implying that they are inferior within a few sentences. You should also avoid calling them spoiled children for organizing and exercising their constitutional rights. You may want to also avoid doing this after you claim that you "belong here more" simply because you were born into a family with an A&M legacy. In other words, if you want to people believe you aren't racist you probably shouldn't post a bunch of racist shit.
You are not only racist, you are racist as hell and you do a shit job of hiding it. You and people like you are why protests like this one happen and why they are necessary. I guess in that view, I can see why you take it so personally and why are you are so upset by it.
