Two Humboldt State Students Suspended From Organizations Following Video With Repeated Use of Racial Slur
Two Humboldt State University students were suspended today “from their respective athletic and fraternal campus organizations pending a current student-conduct investigation regarding racist posts that were recently discovered on social media,” according to a Twitter thread released by Humboldt State at 8:15 p.m.
An earlier tweet by HSU stated, “The Dean of Students office has been made aware of posts on social media showing HSU students making racist taunts and mocking the Black community. Basic decency and campus protocols demand a swift investigation, which is already underway.”

How about suspension from class for a semester?
Yeah, off with their heads. Now maybe go through all those “Black” kids social media pages at hsu and do the same. Fuggin hypocrisy at its best.
It’s only racist if your white. You can mock, taunt, poke fun, criticize, berate, and ridicule white people and it’s the new “cool”. It’s not called racism, it’s called being awoke. Just by me saying this, I’m labeled a racist, see how that works. Even my understanding wife is getting tired of “white shame”.Hang your head, don’t say a word, don’t stand up for yourself or you will labeled . I see entire races being labeled oppressed, just because the color of there skin, which in turn makes them not racist because you are the one that “makes” them that way, therefore you are to blame just because of YOUR skin color! Unfortunately reverse racism is here to stay. I see far more finger pointing and name calling coming from POC than anywhere else.
do you know what you are talking about or are you just blowing off accusatory steam; based on your posting name you come with an agenda
I come with an agenda?!? Lmao. Did you not read the headline? Look around you, read the news. There is an agenda. Hate white people
There are many valid reasons to hate white people. This country was founded on slavery and genocide. The Native Americans and blacks have never had the power or opportunity to impose any form of racism on whites. You’re not only showing ignorance and bigotry, but whining about getting a 400 year head start over minorities is the epitome of being a Snowflake…
so you are saying there are no poc in positions of authority? geez. you are saying there has never been any whites wronged by pocs. geez. not all white people owned slaves. slave owners are not alive today.
From an institutional (and therefore power) perspective, yes. Anyone capable of basic critical thinking skills can make that assessment.
no that is false. the year is 2020. do you remember the last president zero was half black? what about all those black americans who have white blood in them? this is bonkers. what about the sheriff of houston? he said ‘my people’ and he wasnt talking about cops.

Did someone post hate honkies? Did I miss the Actual reverse racism? Or am I just reading supremacy recruitment tactics at their best?
you must have missed the racism against white people because there are videos of it everywhere and have been for years. heres one that was posted here today
https://youtu.be/xJpWiV-zLoM
Every country was! Their were slave owners of all colors in all places. Including Black owner in Africa who often sold to America slavers.
Crickey! I should be hated because I’m white…… and I’m the one labeled a racist.
Well,your time has come to impose your racism on white people crickey. Have fun with that Because the time is now!
Hey, I don’t recall the white race being enslaved by another race of color. I also don’t recall any white people living in fear in their daily lives because of skin color. You’re upset because you feel that others are be racists towards you and you are lashing out. Try 400 years of that feeling not just a few minutes, wake up man.
“Hey, I don’t recall the white race being enslaved by another race of color.”
That’s because you are ignorant of history, hence you are a liberal .Every race has been enslaved at some point throughout history.
“I also don’t recall any white people living in fear in their daily lives because of skin color”
Really? There are thousands of videos (if you can find them, censored by liberals) of blacks beating the shit out of white people the last couple of days because of the crime of being white. And it is because of liberals like you, incessantly promoting the LIE of “systemic” racism that this is occurring. When it’s your turn, they won’t give a shit that you’re woke.

yaaaaawn
“wake up man”
Somebody definitely needs to wake the fuck up!

dare i say actual evidence of black supremacists
It’s 150 years btw lettuce. 400 years ago?! Really? There was no USA 400 years ago….you just made a great point though, Nothing should change than. Bravo
There has been slaves of all colors throughout history.
Because really…WERE ALL EQUAL….RIGHT?
so if whites are capable of slavery….blacks are too….right?
Or do you think blacks are superior to whites?
Cuzz that would be….Racist!
“Hey, I don’t recall the white race being enslaved by another race of color.”
That’s because you’re historically ignorant. European settlements were raided for slaves by POC from the Ottoman Empire.
African enslavement by tribal rivals has been going on a lot longer than 400 years, way before Europeans came on the scene. And it continues to this day. Trading slaves to outsiders (first the Ottomans, then the Europeans) was a way for African tribes to gain wealth and power.
Europeans were the first to condemn the enslavement of other races, in the early nineteenth century. It was a logical outgrowth of the liberal individualism and universalism that Europeans gave to the world.
I’m sure La Raza (means THE RACE) and BLM and the other alphabet groups on campus never make inappropriate comments about white, heterosexual males. Typical HSU bureaucratic double standard. They’re too busy kneeling or hugging Antifa like local law (rarely) enforcement to care.
remember only black lives matter
Did you see how the longtime Sacramento Kings game announcer was fired for posting “all lives matter“ on Twitter the other day? Insanity.
Your comments are exactly the problem! We cannot make progress if you cant agree that their lives matter.
Maybe you missed it but … lives matter … all colors.
Of course all lives matter! So why do you disregard the black lives who say, they lack justice n representation as the rest of us! If all lives really matter to you, then stop knocking others legal right to protest.
these are false points. no one said protesting was bad. black people do not lack justice and representation. where are you getting your ‘facts’.
“black people do not lack justice and representation.”
Holy fuck! Time to get your head out of your ass.
Blacks are high in the power structures of many major American cities. Mayors, City Councils, department heads, police chiefs, etc. They are also ensconced in academia and well represented in media. Lack of political power and influence is not the problem for Blacks.
The criminal charges against the murderers of George Floyd demonstrate that justice does happen for Blacks when faced with racist violence. But there is a tendency to look the other way concerning racist violence by Blacks.
there was a white guy murdered by a white guy in front of my house and the cops didnt want to do a damn thing about it. there was no justice for that white guy and i couldnt find a way to contact his family
The problem is the poison of identity politics.
Identity politics is divide and conquer.
There is only one race; the human race.
The problem is fundamentally that humans tend to be tribal in nature and we identify with those we think are “like” and tend to disenfranchise or discriminate against those we think are “unlike”.
Different people group based on shared or perceived similarities to compete against the “others”. This isn’t anything new, it’s the entire basis for patriotism. What is changing is how we view who is included in “our” group.
On that basis, identify politics isn’t anything new, nor is it going away anytime soon. What we can hope for is a much more inclusive view of who we are and that more people recognize that we all share the same planet and the same basic goals — the pursuit of our personal well-being and the safety of our families — and quit vilifying anyone different.
Except for being willfully stupid, that should always be discriminated against. 😉
Identity and tribe is fine. The use of identity to push policy is not.
👏
“What is changing is how we view who is included in ‘our’ group.”
Not quickly enough, and there are severe double standards as to when in-group preference is acceptable. Either condemn in-group preference across the board or not at all. In-group preference is what makes the relatively rare killings of Blacks by Whites a big issue while the orders-of-magnitude larger number of Black-on-Black killings is ignored. And pointing out instances of Black-on-White violence is a sure way to get denounced as a racist fearmonger, while flipping the roles garners sympathy. As a side note, race relations between Blacks and Asians (East and South) and Blacks and Hispanics are also very poor.
“On that basis, identify politics isn’t anything new, nor is it going away anytime soon.”
Our job is to make it go away. After centuries of progress towards a more universalist view of humans, we’ve taken a U-turn in the wrong direction. And it’s mainly because certain opportunists see it as a way of gaining nice careers, wealth, and power for themselves, while doing little or nothing to improve the conditions of the supposed beneficiaries of identity politics.
A race is a grouping of people based on shared social and physical qualities put into a category and viewed as distinct by society.
Example. Vikings are a race. Eskimos are a race. White people are not a race. Black people are not a race. What we all are failing to understand is that we are ALL Americans of a country based on freedom and liberty for ALL. Chinese and Asians were used in greater numbers as slaves in this country than Africans were. Many died. Many left. Many have succeeded in this country through wealth and power. Non are blaming white people for there unfortunates in life. Irish were forced to leave there country because of starvation and yes,racism! They were treated as low class in this country upon arrival. No matter how we got here….. here we are. Stop pointing fingers and blaming others for your unfortunates. what eventually made this country great at one point is we raised above as a whole, black and white, Irish and german, Chinese and Indian and fought side by side to live in a country of free people with equal opportunities at success and destiny. I guess that doesn’t exist anymore.When we become our own enemy’s based on blame, segregation and yes, race, the only outcome is civil war. We have become unaccounted for are own actions.
no one made the argument that ‘their’ lives dont matter. read again. only black lives matter
LOS ANGELES — The Sacramento Kings announced on Tuesday that Grant Napear, their longtime television play-by-play broadcaster, had resigned, two days after tweeting “All Lives Matter” in an exchange with one of the team’s former players.2 days ago
This is obtuse to the point of being obscene. The black lives matter movement started because it was clear that the health and safety of black citizens were not being valued the same as white citizens.
Nothing about the movement suggests that other people’s lives aren’t valued but rather that it was far past time where people were treated equally by the authorities (i.e. the police) and that we moved past the time when you were harassed, arrested, or killed because someone thought you were threatening simply by being a black male.
It’s not that hard a concept to grasp.
Thank you Cy, once again I ask myself why I look at the comments when it is usually a bunch of disgruntled folks steeped in negativity, fortunately I stumbled upon your post which gave me some hope.
👏
If your not steeped in negativity and anger at the moment, your not paying attention. Yup. I’m awake, and my eyes n ears are wide open. The difference is, I’m willing to realize that I am part of the problem.
FanOfGuest , not getting your reply to my comment. I am referring to the folks bitching & moaning about disciplining the students for their racist video. I am paying attention and I am pissed about the current state of affairs and am looking at what part I play in it.
your premise is false. even the numbers say whites are disproportionately killed by cops.
if you dont like vox
Crime trends
Some studies have argued for smaller racial disparities in violent crime in recent times. However, a study of government data from 1980–2008 found that the reduction in Black violent crime relative to White violent crime was an artifact of those previous studies, which was due to Hispanic offenders being counted as White in the comparison. The Hispanic population has been increasing rapidly and Hispanics have violence rates higher than that of Whites but lower than that of Blacks.[44]
in summary black people disproportionately commit more violent crime
31 African Americans died last year in police involved killings. 261 were “just white”
Vox is explanatory journalism. Usually just click bait fishing for viral action
i hate vox and their deception. i used them for the truth haters who love vox
“The black lives matter movement started because it was clear that the health and safety of black citizens were not being valued the same as white citizens.”
Wrong. It started in the wake of two instances, the killings of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, that were taken very seriously by the system and fully investigated. The investigation of the Martin killing resulted in criminal charges and a trial for George Zimmerman. Unfortunately for the narrative, both Martin and Zimmerman were knuckleheads who escalated a situation that turned into a deadly confrontation. Zimmerman could have taken an off ramp and so could Martin. But Martin died while assaulting Zimmerman. In the Brown case, the “hands up, don’t shoot” lie circulated before it was overwhelmingly discredited. He died assaulting a police officer after committing a strong-arm robbery at a convenience store. Neither the results of the Martin and Brown cases could be called a miscarriage of justice. But that didn’t stop certain opportunists, in particular the Black Organization for Leadership and Dignity, with their credo borrowed from fugitive terrorist Assata Shakur, from capitalizing on them to spread their false narrative and launch Black Lives Matter.
Instances such as the Eric Garner and George Floyd cases, as reprehensible as they are, are the rare exceptions to the rule. In 2019 there were ten, count ’em, ten, instances of police officers killing unarmed Black suspects. Five occurred when the officers were being assaulted, three were accidental, and two resulted in charges against the officers. A much larger number of White suspects have been shot and killed by police. There is no evidence that confrontations escalated to violence are handled differently for Black and White suspects. There is room for discussion of how race plays into police interactions escalating, but there’s plenty of blame to go around.
According to Statista, black Americans are 2.5 times as likely to die at the hands of police as white people. “In 2019 data of all police killings in the country compiled by Mapping Police Violence, black Americans were nearly three times more likely to die from police than white Americans. Other statistics showed that black Americans were nearly one-and-a-half times more likely to be unarmed before their death.”
https://www.statista.com/chart/21872/map-of-police-violence-against-black-americans/
Now show us the comparative statistics on how likely different racial groups are to do things that draw the attention of police and how likely they are to escalate a police confrontation to violence. Without them, the statistics from that agenda-driven article mean nothing.
That the article is categorized under “hate crimes in the United States,” where a statistical analysis of police interactions with minorities clearly doesn’t belong, speaks volumes.
You appear to be starting off with the assumption that black people are basically to blame for their statistically higher death rates at the hands of police. Blaming the victim seems like a shaky place to stand your ground.
Statista is characterized as least biased in media sources. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/statista/ The protests across the US show that a number of folks would disagree with you that “interactions” (what an interesting choice of terms for people killed by police) between minorities and police where the minority ends up dead more often than the non-minority doesn’t have anything to do with hate.
FBI crime statistics and crime victimization surveys indicate more substantive reasons than police bias, or “hate” as you call it, for the high rate of interactions between Blacks and police .
Hate is a factor, just not in the way you say it is. An adolescent who has been inculcated with the notion that violence is the way to solve problems and that showing defiance towards “the man” is the cool thing to do, and escalates a police interaction to violence as a result, is not an innocent victim of police brutality. Those attitudes are common at an early age, as any teacher in an inner city school district can tell you.
“Now show us the comparative statistics on how likely different racial groups are to do things that draw the attention of police and …”.
The big point you seem to be missing is that in many cases, the only thing you needed to do to draw the attention of the police was to be black. You should read the essay by Neil DeGrasse Tyson from yesterday on his and his colleagues’ experiences with the police.
That is an unfortunate result of the much higher crime rate among Blacks relative to other groups. Overreaction and overgeneralization happen, but at the same time they reflect a statistical reality. Denying that reality is a fool’s errand.
Cops overreact to Whites who fit certain profiles too.
You do realize that what you wrote is pretty much the epitome of racism. People have attributed stereotypes of different races as a rationale to treat everyone of that race differently than they would treat those like themselves. It’s what has led to people like the jogger who was killed simply for running in his neighborhood because he was black. Or the real estate agent who had the cops called on him simply because he was black. And so on and so forth. Statistics don’t justify treating people of color as criminals in the absence of them actually doing something criminal yet that’s exactly what has been occurring.
When you lack a valid counterargument, just fling the “racism” accusation. Acknowledging a statistical reality is not stereotyping. Don’t conflate acknowledging a statistical reality with prejudicing the rights of members of a group. Here’s another statistical reality: A slightly higher portion of police interactions with White suspects lead to death of the suspect than with Black suspects.
Here’s an interesting discussion between Glen Loury and John McWhorter on race and policing. Of course, Blacks with opinions not conforming to the racial-victimhood view are the group of Blacks that “progressives” feel it is ok to slam with racial slurs, such as “coon.” I doubt you’ve called out anyone on that when you’ve encountered it.

do you have any idea what happens if a white person just goes jogging through a black neighborhood
dont forget who is more violent by race, that might have something to do with the numbers
Yes they do matter and saying all lives matter is a slap in the face to that movement. Feel left out cause your white ass is racists or jealous. Please let me here the all lives matter plight, your Starbucks was cold. What is it and please show the video of you being hunted down like that teenage kid in Georgia.
now you are assuming you know my childhood and you are demanding me to show you (who i dont really care about) video evidence that i am not lying. ha. your eyes must have been shut your whole life. what about that white boy that got jumped by a bunch of black guys from ‘brothers united’. does that sound racist to you? if not you are just denying the facts
That movement deserves a slap in the face. Here’s yours: ALL LIVES MATTER. And that’s from someone who once had redneck Sherriff’s Deputies in Modoc County pointing their guns at him, then threatening to “blow you up” while he was in handcuffs.
The logo looks like the history channel. This is history. The worst entity in the history of the world (The Federal Reserve) is playing it’s hand on humanity! Wake the ?u?ck up! It’s not about politics, race, humanity… It’s about wealth and money! Who is wealthy, who is taking wealth,
Wealth and power. For those that run the printing press fiat currency is meaningless. Currency is just the carrot to lead the plebs where they want us to go.
A little drunk; a little stupid…

1st Amendment even protects stupid.
sounds like a rap song
Just mumble the words through an auto tune machine and you got a juck jiving hit.
I don’t think enough of us are thinking about Liberty. One of the things this country was founded on. Liberty means you do you. It also means you are going to see a lot of people doing their thing. Things that you don’t necessarily agree with.
This doesn’t sound like a “Free Speech” issue, since it’s not government censoring it.
But shouldn’t people be able to say what they want, no matter what they have to say?
Not in Humboldt. If you aren’t “woke” you are deemed a racist
Exactly
HSU is a de facto government agency. As such censoring individuals is a violation of their rights enumerated in the 1st Amendment, unless they signed those rights away via contract.
Twitter is a private company and their terms of service is the contract to use their site… they can censor as they see fit.
USA Inc
It’s a corporation after all.
What could go wrong?
Contracts are null and void if entered through deceit or coercion.
Cancel your contract with USA and reestablish the Republic… u.s. of A.
Yeah sure. Let’s see how that works out for these fools.
Liberty means you take the responsibility for what you do, not that you can do anything you want. A nanny state arises to take that choice away from you when too many people are too self-centered to accept responsibility for their actions. Freedom returns only when society relearns what respect and responsibility are.
Free speech comes with responsibility. You can’t yell “Fire” in a crowded theater without expecting consequences just like you can’t promote hate and violence without feeling repercussions. You don’t get a free pass to say whatever idiotic thoughts cross your mind. Even Trump is starting to feel a bit of pushback these days.
“…….you can’t promote hate and violence without feeling repercussions.”
Depends which hate and which violence, apparently.
🔔🔔🔔🔔
And the difference between pure evil and let’s say 40 proof.
If your schools biggest problem is a couple of idiots saying stupid things on Twitter, you don’t really have much of a problem now do you? HSU is just looking extra hard, like they always do, to stay “relevant” in this crisis. Did you run out of statues to tear down? Date rape, blind eye, drug use blind eye, Twitter? Now you did it!
sorry Mike, you don’t know what you are taking about. Do you work there? Are you participating in addressing the issues you mention? Do you provide direct care for students with those issues? Probably not. I do and what you are saying is completely incorrect. Please address issues about which you are fully or at least partially informed. OK?
That sounds like something someone from HSU would say. I am completely incorrect on every issue about HSU, and you are completely correct. Been the same speech from that school for 20 years. I have never met anybody that knew less about life than a HSU student, I’m aware of the alma mater issue, at the same time being willing to lecture me about every aspect of my life.
Mike there you go, you mention that we are doing nothing about date rape, substance abuse etc and since I am involved in addressing those things I thought I would let you know you were misinformed about the matter. Unfortunately you chose to say that I am implying that you are incorrect on every matter and that I am correct. Did I say that? No, you came up with that.
Virtue Signaling Appointed Guardians of the Status Quo….you know…they call it WOKE
The 1st Amendment protects these 2 students – like it or not. No one has to agree, but HSU has no jurisdiction over them unless using a HSU platform. Don’t have to like it, but there it is
The 1st Amendment protects your right to freedom of expression, it does not protect you from the consequences of that expression. The students apparently violated the student code of conduct and suffered consequences as a result.
Agreed. I am a big supporter of the Constitution and Free speech…..and the right of individuals to form binding contracts…and enforce those contracts, but…
What did they say? Was it really racist or WOKE racist like “all lives matter”, which is about at non-racist as it gets, yet here we are.
Trial by media. Judgment before facts again!
All lives matter is about as bigoted a cop out you could pull.
Whites owned blacks as property.
Not the other way around.
White lives are not regarded as inferior.
facts?
what whites owned slaves? this cop? me?
what does slavery hundreds of years ago have to do with cops murdering people. i also would argue that white lives do seem to be regarded as inferior by these racists
Some white actually participated in breaking the LAW TO HELP slaves.
The anti white shit needs to end.
Who started the slave trade. ..?
Right! Saying EVERYBODY is equal, moving past color is racist! Right!
Except you think because of someone else’s actions in the past, we should now values black lives more. My family came as endentured servants. No slavers in my tree.
Moving past color, All lives matter is not racist at all …it’s the epitome of equality.
Brian, when Irish and Germans immigrated to the United States Italians, British and Spaniards Regarded them as inferiors. When Chinese slaves were brought to the United States there were regarded as inferior. When the conquistadors arrived in North America the natives were regarded as inferiors. My family linage was regarded as inferiors. So we should consider that only black lives matter Brian? Because the rest of the immigrants that are here are superior? As bob Dylan once said, “we all serve somebody.” All races matter. Some lives don’t.
Of course, all lives matter. Black lives matter doesn’t mean that other lives don’t.
But yelling the All lives matter when someone is trying to explain the systemic racism faced by people of color is equivalent to saying to someone describing being killed by cancer that your broken finger is just as important. Black lives matter is a slogan used to express the pain of what’s happening. And yes, some white people are treated terribly by the system. But to ignore that as a whole black people face proportionately worse by shouting all lives matter is tone deaf.
👆👍
That’s pure crazy talk
This is class warfare 101.
Who is selling Africa out?
Africans?
Bullshit. It’s a deconstruction of the hypocritical and opportunistic code that the Black Lives Matter slogan is freighted with.
Yes, but only white students can violate that school “code”.
BS. Same would happen vice versa.
BS
Right back at you BRM. You have no idea about what you are talking about
I only worked in college administrations before. ya, I have no clue what I’m talking about.
So they aren’t held to a code of conduct when they enroll at HSU?
Yes the code is if you wear a MAGA hat or support the sitting president of the United States you will be expelled from HSU. Equality died along time ago.
Who knows? We don’t even know what they said,vwe just have to trust HSU that is was racist.
Careful with that avatar name their buddy. They’ll deem ya a racist before ya know it.
