One Incident of Hate Speech at Oberlin [Thread Retitled by Moderator]

<p>

</p>

<p>I have reiterated time and again that that is besides the point.It’s not sufficient to just parrot Oberlin’s perceived reputation as a rebuttal to an incident that is obviously not in tandem with the same reputation you are touting.I have made this point repeatedly in previous posts.A reputation is not something that is built to be admired;rather it is built to be maintained.Therefore this incident,as I said earlier,should <em>NOT</em> be attributed to the “bad apple” syndrome because before you know it it could escalate to something that will be tantamount to a great embarrassment for Oberlin.So I’m saying that this should prompt some serious introspection on the part of the entire Oberlin community and not a chest beating fiesta and reputation touting session as has been demonstrated so thoroughly in this thread.

Really?An act of hate and wanton abuse of marginalised groups does not concern you?Really?Well,that is truly remarkable,and not in a good way.</p>

.Rather theatrical,don’t you think?And you say I’M overreacting?(!)</p>
