Watch Leftist Students Say Science Is Racist and Should Be Abolished

[AProudLefty]

Earlier today I asked for examples of hate, bigotry, and disinformation.

T. A. Gardiner kindly responded but one part was unintentionally humorous.

in South Africa brought some interesting concerns before the science faculty this week: namely, they think science as it is currently understood must be abolished.

"The whole thing should scratched off, especially in Africa," said one of the students.

The students are apparently known as "fallists." Their hashtag is #ScienceMustFall. You can watch them make their case during a meeting here.

Essentially, these students believe that modern scientific understanding is too Eurocentric. One explained:

"I have a question for all the science people. There is a place in KZN called Umhlab'uyalingana. They believe that through the magic' you call it black magic' they call it witchcraft' you are able to send lightening to strike someone. Can you explain that scientifically because it's something that happens?"

Many people laughed at this remark because, well, witchcraft is not something that happens. But according to the student, witchcraft is like Isaac Newton's theory of gravity—it's just one way of explaining the world, among many.

Well okay I am not going to copy and paste but let the articles speak for themselves

7 Reasons Why Fallists are Fascists

Gee why does that sound so familiar here on JPP and elsewhere?

My apologies for forgetting to post the link to the JPP thread in question. I know I am losing my mind and drinking a lot. LOL.

It's just hilarious that one should use an example of somebody comparing science to witchcraft.

That particular example posted by T. A. is so hilarious.

Examples? You want examples?

Well, if you thought that was hilarious, you're going to die laughing at these:

(A) professor at the University of Rhode Island who thinks murdering Trump supporters is acceptable because they are “fascists” has unbosomed himself of yet another daft opinion.
This time, Erik Loomis, who purports to be a history professor at the unknown school, has declared science is racist...

Rhode Island??? It's filled with inbred morons. Many years ago the mayor of their capitol city Providence, whose name was Vincent "Buddy" Cianci was convicted on federal racketeering charges because he was running an organized crime syndicate out of his office. The fucking morons in that state actually thought "Buddy" got screwed by the feds. You know there's corruption when the mayor is called "Buddy". Lmfao

More on Erik Dumbass mentioned above.

On the website "Rate my professor" he gets an overall score of 3.3 out of 5 or a C+. Less than half of his students would take his class again.

It's interesting that although Dumbass has posted many tweets calling for and celebrating violence, even murder, of people along with the regular use of vulgarity, Twitter hasn't banned him...

In light of the recent uproar over Dumbass's statements, he wiped his Twitter account but forgot that once stuff is on the Internet it's forever if you know where to look.

His classes include such trivialities as one on Protest and Resistance in America (an "honors" course)
https://www.providencejournal.com/e...is-talks-about-his-new-book-on-american-labor

His last published work is a book entitled A History of America in Ten Strikes. The Left raves about it, the rest-of-us would find it less useful than reading Howard Zinn.
