* BLM campus guards are logical extensions of the typical attitudes of millennials. I am special, I am interesting, I am unique and I deserve recognition. These people must not be recognized as black lives/lies matter protesters, but something separate and different.
These people are logical outcome of participation trophies, special recognition for the talented tenth and genetic reality.
Gifted with little but victimhood status, they feel oppressed if others don’t recognize them and their ability. They do not feel the need to prove that ability or the greatness of that identity. They just need to exist and be recognized as great – their parents told them so. So did society.
This is really an internal struggle not for acceptance by society, as they claim, but coming to terms with the fact they are average, boring and tritely unoriginal. And that is their great battle – against their own mediocrity.
* Here’s an idea for screening immigrants: use the thematic apperception test

We see how would-be immigrants react to images of George Washington, pretty New England towns, John Winthrop, Norman Rockwell paintings, cowboys, etc
If the tests reveals bias against Anglo-American imagery, they don’t get in.
* When you see them in person it only reinforces the impression they’re very self absorbed and not very bright or self-aware. They’re all performing, but it’s a different dynamic depending on who you are. But I find it amusing and interesting how the great American dynamic–black people performing for fascinated whites–is very much on display. But you also see these pale-skinned black girls who probably have a white mom at home in the suburbs, and their Obama-esque need to blacken up leads them to emotional extremes.
I’ve got some pretty good YouTube footage of the one Trump/anti-Trump encounter I made it to here in Portland.
I think it’s pretty funny what happened to this Tea Party guy who tried the ol What Would MLK Do on an already worked-up SJW snowflake:
* College administrators have the atom bomb of punishments. They could have threatened, and then carried through with, expulsions. Like this.
The problem in US universities today isn’t that students have gotten out of control. It’s that the faculties are are out of control, and they’re using the students as pawns.
