Too White and too Jewish for USC

Undergraduate Student Government Vice President Rose Ritch resigned her position Wednesday following allegations of her complicity in racial misconduct on campus. In her letter to the USC community, Ritch wrote that student harassment on social media regarding her identity as a Zionist led to her decision to resign.
"I have been accused by a group of students of being unsuitable as a student leader," Ritch wrote. "I have been told that my support for Israel has made me complicit in racism, and that, by association, I am racist."
[She's a wimp, and so is Truman Fritz.]
Ritch's resignation comes after the monthslong efforts of student activist Abeer Tijani, a rising senior majoring in global health. Tijani circulated a petition calling for the resignation of USG President Truman Fritz, who resigned July 7, and filed a formal impeachment complaint against both Fritz and Ritch with Speaker of the Senate Gabe Savage. Her actions were supported by the Black Student Assembly.
[There's no such thing as a "rising senior." English translation: He's a junior. "Global health" is also garbage. There's no such thing as "global health." Perhaps it means he's a totalitarian who seeks to rule the world via health care institutions.]
Days after Tijani launched the petition, she shared on Instagram that being pro-Israel is not an impeachable offense. However, she wrote that Ritch's silence surrounding several posts on the @black_at_usc Instagram account claiming Fritz's racial misconduct and microaggressive behavior demonstrates complicity.
"The assumption that Rose accepts the human rights abuses occurring to Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli government and the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] simply because she supports the Jewish right to self-determination is, by nature, antisemitic," Tijani shared on Instagram June 27.
According to Tijani, Ritch should not have to bear the complete responsibility to represent the issues that are brought about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. [mighty broad-minded of her!] Regardless, Tijani wrote she believes it is important to acknowledge the dissatisfaction of Palestinian students and amplify their voices on campus — a "bigger issue that is greater than Rose and her personal affiliations."
[English: Rose Ritch was obligated to act as a megaphone for genocidal anti-Semitism, which brings us right back to what she denied advocating.]
In her letter, Ritch wrote that the harassment she had received over the past few months took the form of an "aggressive," antisemitic social media campaign, with students calling to "impeach her Zionist a**."
"An attack on my Zionist identity is an attack on my Jewish identity," Ritch wrote. "The suggestion that my support for a Jewish homeland would make me unfit for office or would justify my impeachment plays into the oldest stereotypes of Jews, including accusations of dual loyalty and holding all Jews responsible for the actions of the Israeli government."
According to Ritch, the USC community has seen a culture shift in which students "cancel" those they disagree with through comments and retweets via social media instead of in-person conversations. Ritch wrote that this kind of shift, which is not isolated to USC, has impacted her negatively, with students making presumptions about her Zionist identity without asking her about her own thoughts regarding Israel.
"No one asked to learn together, to try to understand and build connections," Ritch wrote. "Instead, the people with whom I have shared a campus with for years, the people whom I desperately want to serve, have tried to make me feel ashamed, invalidated, and dehumanized because of who I am."
Ritch reiterated her gratitude for Vice President for Student Affairs Winston Crisp's suspension of her impeachment trial, which was scheduled to take place July 14, in light of USG removal procedures that he labeled "insufficient to ensure integrity." However, she criticized the University for not recognizing the need to publicly stand in solidarity with Jewish students who, like herself, have endured similar antisemitic harassment.
According to Ritch, USG has consistently failed to provide an inclusive space for all communities on campus, with the organization being selective in which members to highlight on social media or promote to higher positions in leadership. However, Ritch wrote that complicity in racism on campus is not exclusive to USG and the team of professional staff that guides the organization but rather throughout the University and beyond.
"What happened to me is wrong and unjust, and now it is my turn to make sure this never happens again," Ritch wrote. "While I regret not speaking out more actively about this during my time in the organization, these issues persist well beyond myself, my Cabinet, and the current organization."
A day after Ritch's resignation, President Carol Folt announced a Universitywide initiative called "Stronger than Hate," launched by the USC Shoah Foundation, to fight against biases and stereotypes through exhibitions, workshops and programs.
"What happened to Rose Ritch is unacceptable, and we must all take up her challenge to do better," Folt wrote in a communitywide email. "This initiative is designed to help foster a campus culture of connection and compassion that empowers us to listen, learn, heal, and dream together." [that's the last thing the cosseted campus wokesters want]

Spotted this article in our local "news" magazine Willamette Week: https://www.wweek.com/news/2020/08/05/people-are-more-likely-to-catch-covid-east-of-82nd-avenue-thats-where-portlands-housing-is-the-most-overcrowded/
Immediately thought back to the recent posting about how hispanics are harder hit by Covid, because of racism of course, then somebody added, they'll change it to blacks next....so here we go: This article suggest that families in East Portland are harder hit by Covid because they "live closer together" (no direct statement that it's fact, just a lot of suggestion and insinuation). Note that a Somali migrant family if featured front and center with plenty of pitiful mewling about the poor kids not being able to play the way they want to, (suggestion: white kids can play all they want, but not us) as if they are the only ones. There are large housing projects in East Portland designed to house the immigrants being brought in courtesy of the globalists and blacks from rapidly gentrifying (formerly) low income neighborhoods in Portland, supposedly these projects are now petrie dishes for Covid, though there's been no evidence as far as I can tell that's actually happening, and none is supplied by this article. It's just people complaining about being afraid because of the horrible conditions they have been forced into (I didn't ask them to move here, did you?). Also reminds me about what I wrote about countries like India or Brazil and how absurd it is to believe they could have lower death rates than we do. I've seen articles about the steps those countries are taking to control the "epidemic" but as far as I'm concerned that's just government propaganda, a country like India has a wide variety of ethnicities & cultures, many of whom are hostile to the government and the dominant religion, 100's of million of people living in conditions that make East Portland look like a country club, people who don't have a social safety net and refrigerators filled with food so if they don't go about their daily activities, they starve and yet somehow Covid isn't hitting them nearly as hard as the US.
This WW story is garbage disguised as being an "informative article" yet there's no information in it whatsoever, just fearmongering and race baiting. Hey, doesn't that describe 99% of MSM articles anyways?
Don't White families live in apartments and houses too?
Yes.
Don't Whites share rooms and have contact with immediate family members--just like black and Mex do?
Yes.
There may be more blacks and Mex in those minority dwellings living under one roof,but whose fault is that?
Their fault.
Do Whites go out at night like blacks and mex do--most likely without masks--street socializing?
No--not anywhere to the extent minorities do.
So why the "disparity" that MSM screams about constantly--that more blacks and Mex die than Whites?
We're not stupid--most Whites "do not spit into the wind."
Great point about the lies concerning lower death rates elsewhere.
Everyone has to realize that any subject you hear,on or in the
news,is just political firewood being lit up to get Trump out--which they will.

American Jews had just better realize the communist Negro Lies Matter is anti-Jewish. I doubt they will however. As described in the Bible the JOO "stubborn AND stiff-necked, like unto as ass." "Foolish and unwise" too.
