Leftist Student Whining About Racist Halloween Costumes Faked Rape Threat

324529_630x354

This is only about the thousandth time this happened. At this point if an obnoxious campus progressive begins receiving death threats and starts a petition about it, it’s safe to assume the whole thing is fake.

University of Chicago students who helped start a petition demanding the school address a “culture of racial intolerance” became the targets of a racially-charged threat Tuesday that is now being investigated by federal authorities.

“I was very literally scared to leave my house,” said University of Chicago junior Vincente Perez.

Perez became a victim of the very violence he was trying to prevent when a friend’s Facebook page was hacked and someone posted an explicit threat.

The threat, which the university calls a “hateful and abhorrent attack,” read in part, “Vincente you are next. None of your profiles are safe. This is the beginning of our rape season.”

Perez believes the threat stems from Halloween night, when he saw students dressed as Mexican stereotypes. Photos were later uploaded to Facebook with people in the costumes in offenses poses, he said.

And so the outrage switch was pulled. A campaign began. Condemnations of a culture of intolerance. So what violence was Perez trying to prevent?

“Everything started the night of Halloween. I was on a [campus] shuttle and I noticed a person wearing a cholo costume,” said Vincente Perez, a 20-year-old University of Chicago student, describing a derogatory term for Mexican-American men.

The costumed student, whom Perez describes as being of Asian descent, was wearing a red bandanna, dark sunglasses and a plaid flannel shirt with only the top button buttoned. His pants were sagging to reveal black basketball shorts.

“As we were getting off I was saying things like, ‘Thanks for the racist costume, think about what you’re doing, it’s really [bleeping] racist,’” Perez said. “[The costumed person and his friends] weren’t really responding to us. They basically scoffed at us.”

And what will it take to stop Asian students from wearing red bandanas and scoffing at idiots?

Among the petition’s demands: required courses on race and ethnicity; more effort to hire and retain diverse faculty; and disciplinary protocols to deal with students who engage in “discriminatory actions.”

The racist Halloween costumes are just one example of a campus culture that does not fully include minorities, Sanchez said.

Asians apparently aren’t minorities.

A petition that began circulating last weekend now has more than 2,000 signatures. The hacking of a student’s Facebook account Tuesday evening has led to a federal investigation; a subsequent movement on Twitter resulted in 1,500 related Tweets; and a protest took place Wednesday afternoon in the middle of the Harper Reading Room.

The demonstration was shared on social media via the hashtag #liabilityofthemind, which was created to highlight experiences of all marginalized students on campus.

On Tuesday, the Facebook account of first-year Derek Caquelin was allegedly hacked by the UChicago Electronic Army.

So were these threats even real? Like everything social justice, it was all a scam.

A threatening message posted to a student’s Facebook page — initially thought to be the work of hackers — was actually written by the student himself, University of Chicago officials said Monday.

“It became clear that nobody broke into the Facebook account in question, and that in fact the posting was not the anonymous threat against a student that it first appeared to be,” according to a statement from the university.

According to a person with knowledge of the incident, it appears the student’s fake message was a misguided attempt to draw attention to the issues of race and sexual abuse.

Student activist Vincente Perez told the school’s newspaper, the Chicago Maroon: “Someone felt they had to show something extreme to get people to care.”

I think they call that a racist lie.

    Democrats think faking the hate is a “civil right.”

    • odin2

      They think everyone who is not in on the lie is an idiot.

    • Nick

      Funnier, they don’t understand technology enough to even create a convincing fake. So much for the Party of Science.

  • hitz

    Kinda like Oberlin last year?

    “To get people to care”?? Well, I don’t care. Deal with it. Get yourself a new wardrobe. Or something.

  • Daniel

    What you people don’t understand is………this kind of thing needs to prosecuted.
    Maybe you think that’s harsh.
    The side that is allowed to break the law in the form of protests and violence will win the war.
    In Germany the right-wing was coddled before Hitler took power. In Russia, the leftists were tolerated and enabled.
    Conservatives better wake the **** up and start resisting. Instead of heading to the country club…..they’ll be going to a gas chamber.

    • 1private_eye

      Just to let you know-N.A.Z.I.’s are LEFT wing i.e. “socialists” not right wing as presented by todays re-writers of history. I appreciate your other points.

      • Daniel

        National Socialists….aka Nazis….were in fact rightists, not leftists.
        National Socialists fought the German Communists at the street level in the 1920′s and 30′s before Hitler finally prevailed which caused the Frankfurt School of Marxism to relocate to Columbia University in NYC.
        The reason that the far right National Socialists were socialists was due to the fact that they embraced a certain Prussian philosophy that viewed capitalism as an unseemly and unmanly Jewish/British approach to economics.

        • theCork

          NO. National Socialism started in the United States, and it was leftist. Look up the Bellamy brothers. Leftist movements, as with Wilson (who was DEFINITELY leftist), used to be pro-war. There has never been a pro-socialist right movement. Thanks for showing ignorance of history.

          • Nick

            Nein, I mean no. National Socialism differed from its commie cousins in that it worked to co-opt the largest industrial partners to its cause. They then destroyed the small competitors. The government gave the companies marching orders, but in general stayed out of the way (except to get rich).

            Sounds familiar to a certain crony capitalism occurring in DC right now, huh?

          • theCork

            True, but it’s still not on the right, anymore than Communist China is today. NAZIs called themselves “the true socialism”, and it’s hard to disagree compared to Stalinism or Maoism.

        • DaveGinOly

          Hitler created the National Socialist German Workers Party as a German socialist party for German people, in opposition to “International Communism,” espoused by the USSR, which was Soviet-dominated communism. The “German communists” Hitler fought were controlled by Moscow. Hitler knew that a “German” communist party takeover of Germany would effectively be a Soviet takeover of Germany, so he created a German alternative to International Communism, and that alternative was the German “National (i.e., it was “nationalist,” and not “internationalist”) Socialist Party.” People often ask, “If Hitler was a socialist, why did he hate the communists?” This is why. As Hitler saw things, there was only room in Germany for one communist party, and he wanted Germans to be in charge of it, not Moscow. It was not a clash of ideologies, it was a clash between German socialist nationalists and Soviet interlopers (and their German front men).

          • hrwolfe

            I think you put it best. There was much cooperation between the 2 in the late 20′s and 30′s practically until the invasion. I have read that Stalin taught Hitler how mass killing works, as even SS were getting grossed out by all the shooting so gassing came into play. Most all hate Hitler but bring up Mao or Stalin and you draw a blank stare. It is a political ploy to tag Nazi’s with the Right. In my Father’s copyrighted Political Spectrum he places Communism at the far left with Nazis to its right, Republicanism in the Center and the far right is Anarchy. It makes little sense to have Com. on the left and a very similar concept as its opposite, it goes from total control to Law of the Jungle.

  • ping

    These guys are always terrible at mimicking how ‘hate groups’ supposedly talk, so their fakes can be spotted from miles away. White racist groups can barely organize anything on campus, nevermind a hacker collective.

    • J2383

      Not only a hacker collective, but a hacker collective that is also perfectly comfortable with devoting an entire season to rape.

  • AbsolutelyRight

    They should get the same criminal punishment that the people they falsely accused would get for the so called “hate crime”

    • UCSPanther

      The Romans had a similar law for false accusation…

      • AbsolutelyRight

        Goes back to Jewish law, adapted by many western cultures. Proven perjurers in murder cases got the death penalty.

        • laura r

          lets arrest the ferguson liars. jail time one year.

          • AbsolutelyRight

            If you can prove perjury (which is very difficult) , I believe the maximum is usually 5 years.

            What I would be talking about if applied to the liars in Feguson, If one of those liars succeeded in convicting Officer Darren Wilson of involuntary manslaughter and the penalty is 5 years…they should get 5 years..if Officer Wilson would have been convicted of 2nd degree murder because of their lie and got life in prison, the liar should get life etc.

          • Pete

            This story is terrible. Michael Brown’s stepdad was a gangbanger, Dorian Johnson was a gangbanger and Michael Brown may have been one.

            … And this is the hill the Left wants to die on.

            Michael Brown has 2nd degree murder in his juvenile record and all the left can do is show us preschool and grade school pictures.

        • Pete

          I believe you, but can you site a book and a passage?

          It would be useful to cite. Even if we did not mandate the death penalty, we could show that this is nothing new, mankind has been dealing with this since the dawn of time, and that these reprobates should not get a pass.

          • AbsolutelyRight

            I don’t have that handy, but I believe it is in the Tractate Makkot which is part of the Gemara

          • Pete

            Thanks. Somewhere to start looking Makkot

    (Quote) “Someone felt they had to show something extreme to get people to care.” (End Quote)

    Well then, I guess it’s okay. (sarc.)

    • odin2

      Sounds like the man caused global warming farce.

  • nickshaw

    Modern liberalism (or would that be progressivism) is and always has been based on a lie.
    It doesn’t matter that people get hurt or even die because of the lie.
    Frankly, it doesn’t even matter that the supposed benefits of the lie never come to pass.
    They think it’s for a noble cause.
    It’s still a lie.

  • epobirs

    How racist is the costume when I can drive a short distance and see dozens of people who dress like that every day of the year. Welcome to LA.

  • deepred

    “Thou shall not bare false witness”, said by somebody important…I think.

    • Daniel

      Thou shall not covet thy neighbors goods……………adhere to that and Communism/Socialism implodes.

      • Nick

        Yeah, but that is the first thing on their commandments – Thou Shalt Covet Thy Neighbor’s Goods… They then work backwards, i.e., coveting thy neighbor’s wife – like Bill Clinton, thy shalt not steal , like Hillary… Thy shalt have no God before me except for me – like Barack Insane Ebomba.

  • hrwolfe

    Cholo is a term that they use to describe a particular type of hispanic subculture its a legitimate description. God at UCLA Grad students now get to drop Shakespeare and read Chola Lesbian tales to get their degree. This race crap and personal indignities really has gone way too far.

    • Daniel

      Cholo is a reference to Indian Mexicans versus the Spanish/European Mexicans.
      Trust me…….when the Cholo returns……he will cut the heart of the lesbo out while its still beating and eat it.

      • hrwolfe

        Do you live anywhere near East LA? It is what we used to call a tough guy/low rider wearing chinos and the like. Yours may be the historical and a more accurate but in this context they are talking about the Hard Guy.

        • Daniel

          Same thing. The ultra-rich 30 families of European Spaniards that run Mexico are not the Cholos of East LA you’re talking about.
          Cholos are Indians.

          • hrwolfe

            In this instance, the complaint is that the Asian kid was dressed in a flannel shirt with only the top button buttoned, shades and a bandana. Now is that Indian dress or did it come out of East LA? If you want to show how smart you are stick to the particulars of the story.

  • Nick

    Don’t worry. The wheels of the liberal bus are wide, and there is room for everyone. I’m sure he thought that there was no one there who didn’t deserve his condemnation. Too bad the internet is everywhere, and lies rise to the top of the water like the pond scum that they are.

    Thanks however for the truth.

  • HealthyAmerican

    “The Chicago Maroon”…how apt.

  • DaveGinOly

    If Hispanics didn’t dress like “cholos” themselves, then nobody wouldn’t wear such costumes because they’d be meaningless for not being recognizable as a traditional costume from a particular culture. The Asian student did nothing more offensive than appropriate what some would consider “Hispanic cultural property,” to which they do not have exclusive rights. In other words, this student thinks that people should be restricted to their own cultural property when selecting Halloween costumes. If the Asian student had dressed as a samurai, would that have been acceptable? (Then again, if the Asian student had dressed as a samurai, someone would complain that he was helping to maintain a stereotype. If a costume from your own culture is stereotypical, and one from anyone else’s is racist and disrespectful, exactly what kind of costume is acceptable? One that makes fun of white people, I guess.)

    • mohdanga

      Wonder how many students went as cowboys? Would she think this is offensive??

  • Captlee

    Gee. I dress like a redneck every day…… Am I a racist?

  • Hard Little Machine

    I went as a decapitated orange jumpsuit. Alllahu porqchop

  • laura r

    daniel, many mexican kids dress in the black gangsta sag pants bling look. is this racist? they have some black blood, but some are 100% indian. there are also mexican kids who like the gothic look. seems to me the students are bored. maybe they need more homework?
