Victimization isn't something you can create for yourself by forcing a response to your provocations, lawlessness, and assaults, that's not how it works.

[manojchowdhary]

Can the protesters be provide with a mic inside their masks so that we can understand what they are saying clearly?

[veev]

Employers saying they won't hire them when they come looking for a job. 2hat many of these won't admit hamas is killing palistinians, using them as human sholields, hamas won't let 5hem leave,

[Ilforever]

Every comment I've made asking Palestine supporters to condemn Hamas terrorists over the past 7 months has been met with fierce pushback; they defend rather than condemn.They are all Hamas, don't let Hamas take over the US!

I went to u.c.i and had to experience many ridiculous discriminations based on racism by many white professors there and even by the faculty members as a korean male.
Genocide?? Is that the first issue in u.c.i campus?? Nop. Why don’t’t u guys try to solve and protect human right of non white students, there?
In, u.c.i, the systematic racism happened everywhere. It naturally happened many times by white people there with power such as professors in economics and faculty members.
I wish what I’m saying here is false statement. But it’s true. I had to go through so many b.s accidents just because I was a minority Asian student. For instance, If I wait for the professors during the office hour, the professors just didn’t even want to answer to my desperate questions that I asked because they were very late for their paid office hour. I asked them when should I come back here to see u with a very respectful attitude. For example, I served the military before I went to u.c.i. They just showed me their angry and agitated face and just said that come back to office hour. Yeah, I was waiting here during the office hour and you came here 5 minutes before the office hour ends? No matter how respectfully, I treated them, they just didn’t seem to regard me as human as valuable as they are. This happened many times by other white professors, too. Well, I was the guy loved by many girls and preferred to be associated by many people no matter where I went. I was the guy with respect and good manners. Just a very clean look student. No drug, alcohol. Just believe in Jesus Christ.
But I was just an another good looking and bright Asian student with superior attitude who don’t belong to u.s in their eyes. They just do not seem to value the human rights of non white students there. I didn’t know those b.s stories will happen to me even in university where value human right, justice, open minded attitude about differences, knowledge, truth.
If we only consider the human rights based on only race, what’s the difference between humans and animals. I was a bright student from South Korea. English was a second language to me when I went to the u.s in my 20’s. I never expected to be treated equally by racist close minded people there. But I did believe that there should be at least some system that protect the human right of the minority students, too. But I never experienced such a horrible discrimination in u.c.i. I didn’t even know what is real pain of living in discrimination made by the system before I went to California in Seoul, South Korea. I treated many foreigners with ultimate respect during my life in Seoul Korea. But I tasted the horrible racism that is usual in the life of California as a good looking respectful Korean male. I graduated from U.C.I in 2001 majoring economics. The funny thing was I got the call from u.c.i that asked me to be a member of donor after graduation. That really made me laugh. Asian girl was talking to me as if I was her boss with kind and respectful attitude on the phone. LoL. Actually that call made me upset. U guys treated me like shit here in u.c.i and u guys want me to donate money so that u can bully and discriminate minority students and support racist close minded professors and faculty members who should not stay there as a professors and faculty members?
What’s my point? Why don’t u guys clean ur smelly shit that deeply rooted in ur system and then talk about the problems that happen from far away. America free country? Really?

Porque todos los que protestan no van a Gasa y la defienden y dejan en pas. A la policía y estudiantes que no están perdiendo tiempo!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡

[Patriots]

So these goofy protesters untangle themselves from their Mommy's and Daddy's umbilical cord and, after getting arrested call home. "Mommy, help me! I just got arrested." Mommy: "Didn't we just finish paying your $20, 000 a year tuition for four years?" Protester: "Well, yes Mommy but--." Mommy: "And then you went and got arrested which may end up being a misdemeanor or possibly a felony depending on whether the DA charges you with assaulting a police officer." Protester: "Yes, Mommy, but--." Mommy: "And if you are a convicted felon, or, for that matter have any criminal conviction what is the likelihood that you will enter the military, work for the USDOJ, any federal or state governmental agency, get a professional license in anything other than perhaps dog walking?"

[jjww]

This is such a shame. They didn’t get accepted to UCLA. Sad.

[jdwfenton]

Why are they hiding their faces ???? Hiding their shame or identities.???

[fahmidarahman]

It is their university, the students have a right to express their views. University has no right to suspend or arrest for views they don't agree with.
