A small band of protesters gathered on the Sundial this morning to listen to speeches about the Horowitz speech, scheduled to begin at noon. “Blacks, Latinos, Arabs Asians and whites. No racist war no more no more defend our civil rights!” they chanted.

@ralph the tree protest people wasting paper to argue against free speech and inspire protests with extremely low attendance!
@well, horowitz is speaking anyways; score is now columbia establishment 50,000 – protestors 2, with the establishment not being scored on since 1987 (own goal by dumb-ass white students who beat up black students outside ferris booth hall)
@what does that even mean? most immediately, do you think the protesters were trying to stop horowitz from speaking? more broadly, do you think columbia hasn’t responded to a protest since 1987? (hint: http://www.columbiaspectator.com/node/26613)
@hmm the filename is “P1010061.jpg”… unless you’re referring to the alt text “kkk”.
bwog? what are you trying to say?
@Could anybody explain the filename of the photograph accompanying this post?
@at least there was a sane response inside lerner.
@islam is not a race, nor is this about islam as a whole.
@yes there should be challenges to labels like white or asian. the terms are too broad.
@i think the idea is to think of ourselves as people who happen to be ____, rather than discrete groups of people coming together. The emphasis is on our unifying humanity rather than discretized races.
@erm David Judd is there, though. Just not in the photo.
@Wow What a bunch of morons.
@That is not David Judd in the picture. (0-1 You)
@Also Is that David Judd in the picture? Does he do anything other than protest shit?
@labels Blacks Latinos Arabs Asians Whites????
Is that really a chant AGAINST racism?
enforce the boundaries! ask for equality! whattt
@??? acknowledging the existence of labeled racial groups is “reinforcing the boundaries”? what? you’re supposed to end racism just by kind of pretending there’s no such thing as Black (or whatever) people?
