I ran across this YouTube video of a rather huge student protest at UCLA about the police brutality issue. It troubles me that one of the speakers decides to use the word “neo-nazies” to describe hate groups. I’m afraid it says more about American society’s numbness to phrases like “hate speech” than it does about his individual choices. Very passionate and compelling rhetoric. What do you think of the second speaker’s rhetoric? What do you think of the original Andew Meyer event which took place at the University of Florida? What does the event say about our culture?
Thoughts?
