Smith College students intended to create a “safe space” on Wednesday when they banned “neutral” reporters from covering a race-focused protest held in solidarity with University of Missouri students. The protest drew 300 to 500 students.
The activists’ goal was to establish a place where students — prioritizing students of color and black students — could share their thoughts, feelings, poems and songs related to a rash of racially charged episodes this fall at Mizzou, as well as personal experiences of racism.
MassLive reported that “reporters who arrived at the sit-in were met with a clear message: Keep out.”
College student Alyssa Mata-Flores, who is 21, explained the “rule” was created because “the way that media has historically painted radical black movements as violent and aggressive.”

My first thought was the rights guaranteed under the first amendment. These children want censorship along with the rest of their demands. However, it appears that at least some in this “movement” have a different opinion of the Constitution:
Black student group vows bloodshed over Constitution
A well-established black student coalition is calling for violence if the U.S. Constitution is not replaced with a version that serves “the interests of black people.”
Afrikan Black Coalition was created in 2003 to connect activists across the University of California system. It has gone from concentrating on the low admittance and retention rates of black students in California to developing leadership and communication skills for members.
We live in a nation with a two-tiered justice system. We also live in a nation divided along producers and looters. It is in the government’s interests to rape the producers to pay the looters in order for our rulers to stay in power. And yet, it is still not enough. How much is enough? The answer is always the same: More.
Until there is no more. Is that what it will take for people to turn to God? Will we have to sacrifice our nation, morals, wealth and possibly our souls before we accept reality?
David DeGerolamo
Look at the Jewish people throughout the Old Testament for your answer. They continually turned away from God and then they would get smacked down. Then they would turn back to God and then turn away again. Then they would get smacked down again. Each time the smack downs got a little worse. I would say a really big smack down, but I am not so hopeful. I think in the end the coming back of Jesus will be the final thing. I believe America’s last gasp will be it’s death moan, then the beast.
David and all,
I’m sorry to say this, but it seems quite evident to me that our nation has already *been* sacrificed to Satan in exchange for moar!
It was sacrificed on August 15th of 1973 by president Nixon when he abrogated the Gold Standard for US currency, in nearly perfect immitation of the abrogation which Franklin D. Rosevelt had done on April 5th, 1933.
It was sacrificed by Supreme Court Justices Burger, Blackmon, Douglas, and Brennan with the Roe v. Wade ruling on 22nd January of 1973.
It was sacrificed when Lyndon B. Johnson signed the “Gun Control Act” on October 22nd 1968, also in fine immitation of what FDR had done in executing the National Firearms Act on June 26th of 1934.
It was sacrificed when the Hart Celler Act was signed by president Lyndon Johnson October 3rd, 1965, thereby declaring a divorcement between our nation and its Christian and European heritage.
I could go on quite a bit, but the point is clear -- our nations health, both spiritual and financial, has suffered “death by a thousand cuts” over the past century. So much so, in fact, that I have come to refer to the period of 1912~2012 as “the century of pure evil”. What remains ouf our nation and our culture is now nothing more than a twitching corpse which will soon grow cold. There shall be no “recovery”, neither financially nor spiritually, because the dead do not recover.
That which shall rise from the ashes of a consumed and burned out United States of America will be but a remnant, lifting it’s head to find itself in a desolate and unforgiving wilderness, and the tests they face will eclipse what we face now by orders of magnitude, for they shall see the Second Beast rise out of the land, as we now witness the First Beast [DAESH/ISIL] rising out of the [Mediterranean] sea…
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
