posted by geeblockOutside of the milo guy I am unaware of other white males having problems speaking at colleges but I am willing to learn.
I'm pretty sure Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson have been shut down for being Nazis.
Here we have an elected official stoking those 'racist' flames...

So a total of 3 people. That sounds more like an issue with these guys and their agendas than it is about “white males” although I’m not super familiar with the names. Is Shapiro the guy that runs the conservative website?

Lol the jew Ben Shapiro none the less. Have you seen Berkley anytime anyone speaks Geeblock?
5 minutes into some Shapiro quotes and I’m not surprised he catches backlash.

Those are just examples of well known people. If you are as familiar with Twitter as you claim you know that there are many more more incidents of people showing their experiences.
Jordan Peterson doesn’t seem to have said or done anything that can be overtly racist that I could see, but I can see how some of his rhetoric is used by the alt right and why they show up when he speaks

The way I see it they have the right to their views free speech and people have the right to protest against them. In my opinion these guys use this dynamic to rally their base and get famous/make money. The more it happens the more support they get from the majority base in this country. It really is their only claim to fame. We probably don’t follow the same type of people on twitter lol
I love Dave Rubin! I think this video is pertinent to the current conversation:
“There are no white people being silenced!”
heres 3 off the top of my head
“lol omg so 3 in the whole wide world?!”
whats the magic number, gee?
Lol I never said there are no white males being silenced. The assertion was made that every group is allowed to demonstrate and protest besides white males. A further assertion was made that there were protests about free speech that also contained people of color. I challenged this as not tru and that they were Ignoring the fact that the protests were also white nationalist types. As far as these guys, while I don’t agree with most of what they say they should not have been shouted out of town, which looks like a total of 3 times. They also have a large platform and books website etc do they are hardly silenced.
posted by geeblock. White males aren’t having their free speech oppressed.
Yeah you def never said that..
then someone points out a few prominent ones and you say it’s justified because of their “agendas” lmao your logic is laughable.

I should have added en masse and non racist to my comment my bad. Like I said they tour all over the country and have millions of followers across multiple platforms including you tube and the web. So yes hardly silenced
so my takeaway from this thread is that white privilege isn’t real but reverse racism is. Horrible time to be a white male. I’m sorry you guys have to endure this. Let me know how I can help lol

There is actually no such thing as "reverse" racism either. I don't know how this whole conversation turned into this race thing, but no one is complaining about being white.
posted by geeblockAnd still my original point stands. There are no disadvantages to being white.
Well I attended a black wedding in NC last week, and I can say with a fair amount of certainty that I have a fairly significant white male disadvantage when it comes to dancing, especially with respect to the music playing at the reception.

If the majority of democrat elected officials continue to align with these whackjobs, you can damn well expect another major ass-kicking come November.

Don't count on it. Dems are running the full gamut to turnout voters. This type of crap is more likely to bring out a whackjob that otherwise wouldn't vote than it is to provoke someone on the right to come out to vote against this.
I think what we are seeing, on both sides of the aisle, is a focus on turning out the base and giving-up on the so-called independent/swing voter. When you have elections decided by 1-2% and 80% of voters are straight ticket, then getting those people out is a much better ROI than trying to sway the remaining 20% (most of whom actually vote pretty consistently Dem or Repub, anyway).

Conservative white males in general have been kept from speaking at universities, not just 3 guys. This has been rather big news you are either lying that you hadn’t heard or are really paying zero attention to the real world.

Well, I am counting on it. Immigration was just ranked the highest issue and most people are dead set against open borders and the lunacy being exhibited by the left. Add to that a strong economy, tax cuts, and plenty of jobs available; ergo I don't think the dems have a leg to stand on.

Lol Spock is the one that said white males were the only group of people not allowed to protest. He brought race into it. I simply asked what protests he was taking about and it never got answered
