SMU Dorms Hit With Alt-Right Created Racist Fliers

[TexasTowelie]

SMU confirmed Tuesday (November 15) that racist fliers encouraging white women not to date black men were posted in two residence hall stairways over the weekend. The flier, titled "Why White Women Shouldn't Date Black Men" was originally published on unamusementpark.com, a white supremacist blog popular with the so-called "alt-right" movement.

The flier describes black men as posing a higher threat of physical violence to white women than partners of a different race and makes various untrue assertions about black men's intelligence and likelihood of carrying a communicable sexual diseases. We're reproducing the flier below to give readers an accurate idea of what the alt-right is circulating. Anyone inclined to be befuddled by statistics-based racist distortions might want to take a look at this article by anti-racism lecturer and author Tim Wise, which helps explains the nonsense behind some of these claims.

Other fliers available free on unamusementpark.com for distribution include "I Am George Zimmerman," "Black People Are More Criminal Than White People" and "There Are Innate Race Differences in Intelligence." The site encourages users to put up the fliers on college campuses because campuses are full of bulletin boards and free newspapers and magazines.

Similar fliers from the website were distributed on the University of Michigan campus in September and the University of Oklahoma campus earlier this week.

1. SMU Dorms Hit With White Supremacist Created Racist Fliers

TT,

I appreciate that your title was lifted from the Dallas paper directly but I wanted to add a little clarification to make sure there was no confusion. Alt-right is simply the current rebranding of White Supremacist. We know where that goes and, IMHO, we should make sure the two are linked whenever possible.



Have a great day.

2. I believe that nearly all liberals are willing to admit and accept that in 99% of the cases

"Alt-Right" is synonymous with white supremacist. I'm also satisfied with any "Ctrl-Alt-Del" movement to counter the white supremacists in the "Alt Right" group.

I hope that you have a Happy Thanksgiving with your friends also. I'm spending the day alone so I'll probably have a turkey sandwich instead. The Hungry Man turkey dinners had already sold out when I went to the grocery store on Tuesday.

3. I KNOW you get it :-)

And I think you're correct that most folks here also know the equivalence. I'm just trying to get in the habit for the now-real world out there called Trumpland. LTTE, FB posts, etc...I've decided to correct the rebranding where ever possible.

We're doing a T-day lite dinner. It's the first year with most of the kids off doing their own things. Instead of the dining room table with all the extension leaves, it's the kitchen table with daily silverware. But still, in spite of that and the goings on in the political world, it's a year to be thankful for in our household.

I hope your enjoy your turkey sandwich. It's my fav from childhood and the local bar that served it on garlic bread with mayo only. Weird I know but it's the only sandwich I eat and the only place I like mayo. But it's the memory it creates and for that I'm thankful. Hungry man ? Sorry, I've always been a Swanson's guy. There's just something about cutting the foil off the cranberry thing before popping it in the oven that will always remind me of my dad.

I appreciate what you do to make this community a little stronger. At 30K+ posts, I confess to be unfamiliar with the bulk of your contribution but where we do cross paths, you make a lot of sense. As democrats, I'm sure we'll find places to disagree in the future but we seem to have a lot of values in common. Thank you for sharing them so often and consistently.

Enjoy the day.

4. I wish that this was surprising

My son was the President of the SMU Young Democrats when he attended. They were vastly outnumbered

5. The liberal Methodists go to Southwestern.

We had professors from SMU come there to say how much they admired the academic freedom of the university. They wanted to move the Methodist university from Georgetown to Dallas, but the trustees refused so they had to start a new school in Dallas. We also have the football with the winning record and we can also beat them at lacrosse.
