i went to a house-show in seattle and talked politics after drinking

2018-10-20 08:47:45 UTC  

big mistake

2018-10-20 08:47:53 UTC  

the people complaining about patriarchy paying tribute to the patriarchy in the most real sense of the word (rich whites progressives in this case)

2018-10-20 08:48:06 UTC  

get this

2018-10-20 08:48:18 UTC  

i explained i was a journalist for a college 30 minutes away from seattle

2018-10-20 08:48:25 UTC  

and i covered topics about equity and shit

2018-10-20 08:48:42 UTC  

then i went into detail about how blacks have a higher rate of violent crime

2018-10-20 08:48:45 UTC  

which is a fact

2018-10-20 08:48:49 UTC  

but i defended them

2018-10-20 08:49:04 UTC  

saying it was because of pop culture and that more of them live in urban areas which have higher rate of crime across the board

2018-10-20 08:49:13 UTC  

these people denied the facts and called me racist

2018-10-20 08:49:34 UTC  

one guy walked up half way in the argument and said "that's a very white male thing to say"

2018-10-20 08:49:35 UTC  

all i can think is to iron clad yourself with citations based off known liberal professors

2018-10-20 08:49:52 UTC  

because there are some decent guys around but you gotta find them

2018-10-20 08:50:13 UTC  

then if people accuse you of being racist explain you got info from people probably more educated or liberal then themselves

2018-10-20 08:50:23 UTC  

yeah i get it

2018-10-20 08:50:45 UTC  

the problem was that i went to a house-show which is a ghetto version of a shitty music studio

2018-10-20 08:50:49 UTC  

also no offense but if i was you i'd try to transfer, sounds like a no win game whatever the college is

2018-10-20 08:50:59 UTC  

where someone turns their house into a studio

2018-10-20 08:51:09 UTC  

i can't

2018-10-20 08:51:15 UTC  

get this too

2018-10-20 08:51:26 UTC  

i wanna go to Evergreen College in Olympia, WA

2018-10-20 08:51:29 UTC  

always wanted to

2018-10-20 08:51:46 UTC  

lo and behold, they became a cesspool of far left madness while I was waiting to go there

2018-10-20 08:52:00 UTC  

I'm a left-leaning independent

2018-10-20 08:52:09 UTC  

and I was fucking furious over their riots

2018-10-20 08:52:09 UTC  

Evergreen seems like a good college as long as you keep away from the politics

2018-10-20 08:52:13 UTC  

yeah

2018-10-20 08:52:24 UTC  

I know I'd have to keep my fuckin mouth shut

2018-10-20 08:52:26 UTC  

The system itself is great, and the campus looks beautiful

2018-10-20 08:52:31 UTC  

it is

2018-10-20 08:52:38 UTC  

Its just the retarded faculty and students

2018-10-20 08:52:38 UTC  

surrounded by many acres of trees

2018-10-20 08:52:46 UTC  

pass/fail system, project-oriented

2018-10-20 08:53:02 UTC  

There's no grades, narrative reports

2018-10-20 08:53:03 UTC  

i was so fucking mad when the riots broke out

2018-10-20 08:53:15 UTC  

Seems to have calmed down now tbh

2018-10-20 08:53:20 UTC  

I hope so

2018-10-20 08:53:42 UTC  

anyone here deal with workplace cliques?

2018-10-20 08:54:09 UTC  

my journalist team at my college is so cliquey, it's nauseating

2018-10-20 08:54:23 UTC  

in-jokes and passive aggressiveness
