The National Union of Students Black
Conference in Bradford erupted into a civil war after the conference
proposed to amend the term “Black” – for the sake of inclusivity – and include “Politically Black” people into the movement.
What?
“Politically Black” is a term adopted by
non-black people of colour who identify with the struggle against
racism and oppression. It has been repeatedly criticised for being used
for political gain while silencing actual black voices within the
movement.
You've got to read the whole thing to get the full flavor, which includes people as pale as I am before I've been in the sun claiming political blackness.
Arizona passed a law
HB 2548 gives students the right to file lawsuits against colleges and
universities, and to receive an award judgment if the court finds that
the university or community college has restricted the student’s speech.
to deal with the 'tiny free-speech zone' crap. And an amendment was added:
Arizona’s HB 2548 became something more than was intended when an
amendment, also related to free speech, was approved in the Senate.
Protesters
who blocked Phoenix roads before a Trump campaign rally in March can
take credit for inspiring the amendment to HB 2548.
It increases
penalties against people who block access to government meetings or
hearings, or political campaign rallies like the Trump campaign event.
And guess who's losing their shit?
Well done, idiots who blocked highways and rioted and assaulted people: you got a reaction.
