Unreal. AP Writes Lengthy Article About Noose & Racial Incidents at Cali Campuses… Forgets to Mention Minority Student Hung the Noose
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, March 7, 2010, 3:07 PM
The AP published a lengthy article today on the “sudden parade of predjudice” witnessed on campuses across California.
But, the writer forgot to mention that a minority student admitted to hanging the noose at the UCSD campus. It’s a slight detail.
From propagandist Christina Hoag at the Associated Press:
LOS ANGELES – Swastikas, nooses, a KKK hood, graffiti, epithets and jeers.
An ugly spate of bias incidents has crossed several University of California campuses over the past month, causing consternation, outcry and fear that bigotry is alive among the young and educated.
Students have protested and administrators have condemned, but the question remains of what lies behind the sudden parade of prejudice — a growing climate of insensitivity on campuses or a bunch of immature kids yearning for peer acceptance and attention.
“My guess is some of all of those things,” said interim UC Provost Lawrence H. Pitts. “I’d like to believe it’s really an extreme minority. It does suggest there’s some underlying feeling of intolerance in our community.”
The incidents have roiled several campuses in the 175,000-student state university system, which is one of the nation’s most respected and diverse.
At UC San Diego, black students were offended by an off-campus “Compton Cookout” party that mocked ghetto stereotypes, a noose and KKK-style hood found on campus and a student making racially derogatory remarks on a student-run TV station.
At UC Davis, swastikas cropped up and the gay and lesbian center was vandalized with graffiti. At UC Santa Cruz, a picture of a noose was scrawled. On the Irvine campus, the Israeli ambassador was heckled to the extent that he was forced to end a speech early.
The acts were particularly shocking because they occurred on university campuses — usually considered centers of intellectual enlightenment above acts commonly associated with ignorance.
But experts note that universities are microcosms of society at large, and that includes hatemongers. Upticks in hate crimes are often seen in times of economic malaise as people seek scapegoats, noted Jack Levin, a Northeastern University sociologist who has studied hate.
Still, surveys show that prejudice among today’s young people is at a low and interracial and interethnic marriages are at an all-time high, said Tom Smith, director of the general social survey at the National Opinion Research Center. Studies have also long found that education increases tolerance of different groups, he added.
“College students, as a group, are quite liberal on this issue,” Smith said.
Minority students said that’s why they’re galled that fellow students today would even think that something like hanging a noose in a library is funny or acceptable. The school paper later published a letter of apology from a female student who wrote that she had only been playing with a rope, accidentally left in the library and did not mean to offend.
“Part of the problem is that people don’t realize it’s insensitive,” said Joelle Gamble, a student at the University of California, Los Angeles. “They see it as free speech.”
Unreal.

Tell me they’re not trying to start a race war.
Go ahead, tell me. I need a good laugh.
Galt commented:
And don’t tell me they “forget” to mention who hung the noose. They know exactly what they’re doing and their objectives are very specific. And ugly.

A Conservative could stand in front of the cameras with a magnetic compass in his hand, point to the big yellow ball in the sky, say the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, and the Leftist media would say he was FEARMONGERING and go into a long soliloquy about the phases of the moon. If Al “Tawana Brawley” Sharpton admitted he placed those nooses there, they would praise him for trying to start a dialogue with “THE RIGHT WING BIGOTS”. Freedom of the Press is wasted on the current crop of propagandists. Investigative Journalism lives ONLY in the blogosphere.
Thanks, Jim.

Why would you expect AP to use something as insignificant and silly as ‘facts’ in their articles ?
That one article alone is good enough to have me head out after the Cup race and get some more shells for my 12ga. and .223 for my AR.
See that AP…… A typical bitter Jewish God-clinging multiple-scary-looking-gun owner and barking-mad insane NASCAR fan has the time to post a comment on a Conservative blog while watching NASCAR……..
Go Jamie ! Git a top-ten…… Y’all can do it !
Cheers !

jonyjoe101 commented:
no offense but they need to move on. There is always going to be racists, get the noose through it in the trash.
The bigger deal they make out of it, that’s when the copycats come out of the woodwork.
They mock the christians/jews openly in the university all the time, the christians/jews just move on without rioting.
In California, many of the liberal students are upset because of the higher costs they need to pay, to show there anger they are the ones making the nooses and rioting about it.
Remember this is laidback liberal California, there is no KKK organizations anywhere in the area. Most skinheads don’t go to college, the racists that do go to college aren’t going call attention to themselves. That’s just how it is.
Kenny Solomon commented:
Callipygian1…….. Yes, it does.
http://www.icl-fi.org/english/wv/875/10pp.html
The Spartacus Youth Clubs intervene into social struggles armed with the revolutionary internationalist program of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky. We work to mobilize youth in struggle as partisans of the working class, championing the liberation of black people, women and all the oppressed. The SYCs fight to win youth to the perspective of building the Leninist vanguard party that will lead the working class in socialist revolution, laying the basis for a world free of capitalist exploitation and imperialist slaughter.
So…… Anyone wish to join me at the range tomorrow ?
Cheers !

Kenny… if I were looney enough to join a club like that I would at least try to spell the Club’s name correctly. LOL
Save a spot for me.

You may be right….probably an attempt to model after the old “Spit and Whittle” Club of years past….

Andreas K. commented:
So the black students are offended. And the mohammedans are offended all the time as well.
What about white people, or better said, non-black people being offended? Christians… no, let’s put this straight… non-muslims being offended?
Those two groups matter not.
But just wait. Eventually those groups won’t take this crap anymore.
The Spartacus Youth Clubs intervene into social struggles armed with the revolutionary internationalist program of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky. We work to mobilize youth in struggle as partisans of the working class, championing the liberation of black people, women and all the oppressed.
And then oppress them again. And murder those who don’t fall in line. Nothing new there. Fascists all of them.

Turns out it was an extreme minority that hung the noose – just not the kind they wanted.

Where does Christina Hoag live maybe he/she needs to be protested at home ?
Jason Bradley commented:
Wow… the A.P. has really lost credibility.
This is the 2nd article I’ve found today on inappropriate reporting at the A.P.
Yesterday, they all but endorsed the 9/11 Truther movement with the use of the word “version” in describing Ahmadinejad’s words.

Yes, that is a national concern, but never mind about how anti-Semitism is making a comeback here in California. I guess the Liberal tolerance of Islam’s hatred of Jews is on the back burner.
David Johnson commented:
“Spartacus Youth Club”… that’s interesting. Spartacus was a BIG hero in the communist world because in Marxist history he led a big slave revolt that was like a proto-communist revolution (if you have any doubts, consider the number of “Spartak” sports teams in clubs in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Smorfia48 commented:
“The Spartacus Youth Clubs intervene into social struggles armed with the revolutionary internationalist program of Marx, Engels…”
You mean these guys?
Engels:
“Being in his quality as a n****r, a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us, he is undoubtedly the most appropriate representative of that district.” (about Paul Lafargue, who he thought was 1/12 black and was running for a Parisian council seat in a district with a zoo).”
“By the same right under which France took Flanders, Lorraine and Alsace, and will sooner or later take Belgium — by that same right Germany takes over Schleswig; it is the right of civilization as against barbarism, of progress as against stability.”
“Such, in Austria, are the pan-Slavist Southern Slavs, who are nothing but the human trash of peoples, resulting from an extremely confused thousand years of development.”
Marx:
“The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange.”
“The classes and the races too weak to master the new conditions of life must give way… They must perish in the revolutionary holocaust”
Yeah, that’ll help end racism.
rumcrook commented:
thier just working under the notion of never letting a good chance to show white people are evil oppressors lurking in the shadows ready to offend and hurt poor minorities,
why clutter up the story with the fact that its a manufactured situation by a minority because its literally impossible to find the real thing…..
waste not want not.,..

All Propaganda (AP) all the time.
AP advances the progressive narrative. Anything that doesn’t support the big lie is omitted.
Rick commented:
Interesting the “minority” female has not been identified as to race or color. Blame it on Bush.
Jon commented:
Just more proof that our media needs to be used against itself and deconstructed
Big Dawg commented:
Note to AP: the Compton Cookout was put on by a black man who has a website on YouTube; the noose incident was put there by a black female student; the hood incident was done by a black male, non-student. It has all died down here in San Diego because of this. The AP has zero credibility. Even the local news media would not print/show that negroes perpetrated these racial crimes. Quick, someone call the ACLU
David Jack Smith commented:
“At UC Santa Cruz, a picture of a noose was scrawled. On the Irvine campus, the Israeli ambassador was heckled to the extent that he was forced to end a speech early.”
See how she suddenly throws THAT in?
Oh really. And who, pray, is leading the organized JEW HATE currently running riot throughout American universities.
The Islamo-fascist MUSLIMS and their punk allies on the left: the Marxists, Commies, Socialists, et al.
That’s who.

The St.Louis Post-Dispatch eagerly reported the AP UCSD noose story, but when the LATimes reported that the noose culprit was a minority, suddenly the race-baitors at the PD weren’t so interested in the story. And we are supposed to be a post-racial society now?

Agree that this reeks:
………………
“At UC Santa Cruz, a picture of a noose was scrawled. On the Irvine campus, the Israeli ambassador was heckled to the extent that he was forced to end a speech early”
……………
Just wonder who was doing the heckling? All the students who were wailing and tearing their hoodies over phony “incidents?”
We have a ridiculous scene of pampered brats who are tearing up and burning university property all week to protest “tuition hikes” irate that that Joe Six Pack isn’t so able now to can subsidise their education, with signs that say “End the Patriarchy!”
Huh? WHAT are they talking about? They actually have the GALL to think they are oppressed? Freedom has been totally WASTED on this spoiled brat generation that they have to manufacture incidents to huff and puff outrage.
But well, well, hidden amongst the fraud is the real thing, of all people to be heckled off, to be personally faced with bigotry and intolerance, it was the Israeli Ambassador.

More racism and hate mongering from the left.
They engineer this crap so frequently that I have long ago become sick of it!

Does anybody really believer this? — centers of hubris, more likely.
Captian bob commented:
Those flat headed, limp wrist, fat fist, jagged fingernailed, dawarfs from Tuna Town are behind this and I’ll bet they will also find some string and lynch these raving racist left behind. Tuna town has always been a breading ground for these bug eyed devils and has always had a bad smell to it. Need to get a call out to those Supper Heros and traitors to their own race Uncles Al, Lou, and Je$$y
Tene commented:
This was a classic piece for identifying the liberal lens through which information is propogated. It doesn’t surprise me at all that they left out data that doesn’t fit the narrative. That would get in the way of encouraging riots and social decay which make great news stories!
Hussein Obamadinejad commented:
More proof of the glaringly obvious:
LIBERALISM IS A F*CKING MENTAL DISORDER.
The Goracle, Founder of The Church of Goremons of Latter-Day Climate Change Propaganda Alarmists commented:
Yes, indeed: liberalism, notably that of the contemporary brand in the United Socialist States of the North American Union, is a mental disease.
Let’s all HOPE for a CHANGE to find a cure for liberalism.

AJ commented:
The poster in the picture has “Spartacus Youth Club” on the bottom. Googling that, you get the following quote: “The Spartacus Youth Clubs intervene into social struggles armed with the revolutionary internationalist program of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky.”
This is a microcosm of the university, not so much a microcosm of the real world. The real world knows that Socialism doesn’t truly work. It brings the middle and upper classes into the lower classes, and makes them all think they’re in the ‘middle class’.
Charlie Barlie commented:
Here is a link with Christina Hoag’s email. Suggestion: don’t be rude to her. It will just make her feel that people who object to this sort of spin are creeps and should be resisted with all means at her disposal. Don’t even assume that she realizes she was spinning. She may, or she may not.
