Social The University of Edinburgh is hosting 'Resisting Whiteness'....

What's even more shocking is that people are only 13% of the population and yet they commit over 90%:

Shocking? Been that case for decades.

Politicians have gone out of their way to bury this issue and avoid talking about the massive disparity in crime committed by whites against blacks in comparison to black on white crime. It's a massive disparity, especially in violent crime and rape in particular.

The headline there is misleading. The article says this violent crime stat excludes homicides.
 
Perhaps they show resist their racism instead.
 
I happen to hate whenever people lead these stories with the venue that's hosting the event. It exists to stir up animus against an institution instead of against the actual producers of the event.

So the fact that a university, a supposed institution of higher learning, is hosting this "Resisting Whiteness" conference or anti-racist speaking event or whatever you want to call it should not be emphasized? Since obviously they would equally be happy to host any "Resisting Blackness" or "Resisting Islam" conference as well?

Just like Yale shouldn't be emphasized when talking about Deray being paid to teach a class on the dangers of whiteness? Interesting. Especially given that universities have often banned speakers directly invited by students because of their views.

No, it should not be emphasized. The producers of the event should be emphasized.

Focusing on the venue is shifting blame from the holders of the questionable opinion to the neutral party..

Crying about the venue is just blame shifting.

I'm curious. What is your opinion on the actual event itself then, it's organizers, speakers and purpose?

I don't have an opinion. I didn't visit their website or read the story. I read the OP, saw that the creators of the event are some group with a website resistingwhiteness.com.

Once I realized that the University is not creating the program, my position is that it's unreasonable to make the university the focus of any disagreement with the event itself.

I don't really give a shit about the event itself. I don't live in Edinburgh so I'm not going to be attending the event and it's not aimed at people in my country. I can't see myself getting racially wound up for shit on the other side of the ocean, lol.

These venues are selecting these views as acceptable. If they didn't want it going on they'd shut it down the same way they did the alt-right. They are complicit and if their attendance numbers drop then it's due to a conscious decision to make people feel unwelcome through these events that attack normal people.

And do you honestly think this university, that you don't see worth mentioning in the conversation, would host a "Resisting Blackness" or "Resisting Islam" conference or even a "Resisting Feminism" conference?

No, they're not. They're hosting many, many events and have a general policy on what they're allowed to reject. So long as the event doesn't violate the broad rules, the venue has little argument for turning them down.

If the event is objectionable, people can choose not to attend or the students/faculty can petition the school to rescind. But the schools should be very careful about pre-emptively rejecting events that don't violate written rules about what is/isn't allowed simply because the event itself is objectionable to some.

How would I know what the university of Edinburgh would do? i don't live in Scotland, I've never attended the university, etc.

Do you live in Scotland? If you have some connection with the university that informs your opinion about what they would/wouldn't do - good for you.

Humor me. I'm curious if you think they would allow it.

It doesn't have to be fact, just your opinion. Do you think they would allow a "Resisting Blackness" conference?

This is happening and tolerated in Scotland. A small European nation whose indigenous population are white. It's really happening on campuses all over the West. That race hustler Deray was paid to teach a class with a similar theme at Yale.

And people wonder why certain individuals are becoming radicalized and being attracted at least in part to the idea of white nationalism.

I don't humor idiocy or pointless race-baiting.
