If your last name is Lynch, you're going to have to change it. It's a microaggression. The crybullies are upset.
The Black Student Union at Lebanon Valley College has made a number of demands of the college, and one is prompting considerable backlash. The students want the college to rename Lynch Memorial Hall, PennLive reported. The building is named for Clyde A. Lynch (right), an alumnus who was president of the college from 1932 to 1950, and who died in office. He is credited with helping to keep the college functioning and growing during the Depression, no easy task for a small college without a large endowment. Students who are pushing for the name change say that the name "Lynch" has racist associations because of lynching.
This racist clown show has moved from demanding that buildings named after people who don't pass the current politically correct tests be renamed, to demanding that buildings be renamed if they were named after people who have the wrong kind of last names.
I'm not sure what this means for Obama's Attorney General Lynch.
We're right back to the height of politically correct insanity when a man was fired for using "niggardly". Except now the last name Lynch is the issue.
At Friday's forum they acknowledged no known links between Dr. Clyde A. Lynch and the practice of "Lynching" but said as is, the building and last name harken back to a period in American history when Blacks were widely and arbitrarily killed by public hangings and "Lynch Mobs."
The last name of a man named "Lynch" does not "harken back" to lynch mobs. It harkens back to the De Lench family. But who, no doubt on further investigation, were probably racists and opposed to gay marriage... because it was the 11th century.
According to Oxford Dictionary, the term "Lynching" has origins in the War of American Independence (1775–83) or more specifically with a Captain William Lynch of Pittsville, Virginia, who headed a self-constituted court with no legal authority that persecuted suspected British loyalists.
Wait... it's almost like the origins of the term have nothing to do with black people.
And while student organizers at LVC indicate a willingness to compromise, many critics remained unappeased and wondering, sarcastically, whether public officials like U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, places like the White House or Lynchburg, Va. might be targeted for alteration next.
Compromise over what? Make an insane demand and then offer to modify it to slightly less insane, which ignores the fact that your demand is stupid, crazy and senseless.
"I'm offended by the word "applesauce"" "You're insane." "I'm willing to compromise. Just start calling it "a-sauce." "Go away".
To quote James Lileks, "And for the rest of his or her or xer professional life, they’ll be shouting BE QUIET to a calm, rational adult who is too terrified to say “you’re a terrible child who understands nothing. Go to your room.”
