UC Berkeley Student Government Stoked Racial Hate Before Election
The student government of UC Berkeley passed a resolution shortly before the election to remind everyone that black people were once lynched to suppress the black vote.
I wonder if they reminded everyone that the party which lynched black people was the Democratic Party.

UC Berkeley student government reminds student body that ‘lynchings’ were once used to suppress Black election turnout
The University of California – Berkeley’s (CAL) student government unanimously passed a resolution in the lead-up to the presidential election to remind students that “lynchings in the United States were used as a means to defer Blacks from the ability to vote.”
The resolution, S.B. 142 (A Bill Recognizing the History and Presence of Lynching and Anti-Black Sentiment in the United States of America, State of California, and UC Berkeley), was passed October 31st, just days before the November elections.
“On the eve of the 2012 election it is important to remember,” it reads.
The purpose of the bill, which had the potential of stirring racial tension before the contest between President Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney, was unclear.
The bill also claims that “Trayvon Martin was brutally murdered in another epic of vigilante justice” and notes that Blacks “have not received any legitimate, tangible, and long-term form of reparations” for suffering through slavery and the civil rights movement.
In the resolution, CAL’s student government demands the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) “write a public letter condemning any and all hate crimes and affirming its support for student of color within the University of California.”
A spokesperson for UCOP would not immediately tell Campus Reform if their office would be issuing such an e-mail out to its students and declined further comment.

Blacks “have not received any legitimate, tangible, and long-term form of reparations” …
So, getting preferential admission to elite schools and access to scholarships and preferential hiring at well-paid jobs are not “legitimate” forms reparations, even if they are long-term and the results are quite tangible.
What else shall we add? White people always walking on eggshells for fear of causing hurt feelings, and bestowing disproportionate praise in order to demonstrate our anti-racism? Oh, you’ve got that.
Black performers and athletes who are extremely wealthy primarily because white people avidly consume their entertainment products? You’ve got that too.
Or, do you need a black president who’s elected by white people mostly because they are so eager to have a black man exercising power over them, and who is aggressively shielded from scrutiny and criticism precisely because he’s black? You got that too.
So then, do we need to re-elect that black president even though he’s causing poverty and misery for people of all colors, just because booting him out would seem unkind and not racially affirming? You got that too.
The racial grievance industry is evidently going to be a part of the culture for a very long time.
Someone should remind these losers that DEMOCRATS engaged in lynching as a method of keeping REPUBLICANS from voting — because the victims of organized domestic terrorism by the Democrat Party were Republicans of all races.
Frankly, it is a pity that the Democrat Party was not forced through a “deNazification” process following the Civil War similar to what would later be done in Germany– after all, it still holds violence and acts of terror against its political opponents to be a legitimate tactic to win elections.
