If he was fired, he would be unemployed. I fail to see your issue with the term unemployment.

Sorry in advance if this comes off as white privelage.

In context, it reads as if this dude would be homeless afterwards. As a black man, your spelling offends me.

The Legion of Black Collegians has a list of 8 demands.....

Wolfe write a handwritten apology to Concerned Student 1950 demonstrators in addition to holding a press conference in the Student Center where the letter would be read. The letter must address: Wolfe’s white male privilege, recognize the existence of systems of oppression, guarantee verbally his commitment to addressing the group’s demands, and admit to “gross negligence” to allow his driver to hit a demonstrator while refusing to intervene when the Columbia Police Department utilized force.
Removal of Wolfe as UM System president and a new policy put in place that requires that all future UM System presidents as well as chancellors be chosen “by a collective of students, staff and faculty of diverse backgrounds.”
MU meet the Legion of Black Collegians’ 1969 demands that called for the betterment of the black community.
MU implement “racial awareness and inclusion curriculum” throughout campus that is reviewed by a board consisting of students, staff, and faculty of color.
In the 2017-2018 academic year MU increase the percentage of black faculty and staff to 10 percent.
MU create a strategic 10-year plan by May 1, 2016 that will work toward increasing retention rates for marginalized students, continue diversity training and create a more safe and inclusive campus climate.
Increase funding and resources for the MU Counseling Center to hire more mental health professionals, especially those of color, in order to increase outreach and awareness and reduce waiting times.
Increase funding, resources and personnel for social justice centers to hire more professionals of color to advance awareness as well as visibility.

What I got from this: more spending, more affirmative action, and bullying a man into unemployment and declaring him as a racist for inaction.

Do they have valid concerns? Yeah. But I think their ire is slightly misplaced. The guy isn't a wizard.

Racism is wrong but these days its just become ridiculous. Ive actually encountered more racism by black people towards whites in my life than the other way around. All this white people holding us down crap is getting old. I know very hard working and succesful black men and women. Making excuses why you arent succesful is just that an excuse. Anyways rant over.

I think these issues are actually very interesting. It has been my experience that in attempting to raise awareness of these issues the existence of the divides are actually reinforced within people's minds.

It's reaching a level that's becoming inflammatory to whites. I think if it continues at the rate it's going it will become very counter productive.

Systems of Oppression?

I agree. People these days just want to get up in arms about every little thing. The social media world does not help at all. There is alot of ignorance in the world in general and skin color should not be a reason you judge a person ever period.
