Occupy Academia: Protests at Princeton
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 11. 2015
- A black student group at Princeton occupied the university president's office this month and demanded the Ivy League college change the name of its renowned Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs because of the former US president's stance on segregation.
Princeton is just the latest in a series of American colleges facing a backlash from minority protest groups alleging widespread institutional racism. Demonstrations have hit campuses at Yale, Harvard, and Smith College, as well as many others. The president of the University of Missouri - where a number of overtly racist incidents have taken place - resigned under pressure from students and admitted to not doing enough to fight racism on campus on November 9.
VICE News covered the protest at Princeton as students facing potential expulsion for their actions entered into tense negotiations with administrators over the college's controversial legacy.
Correction: The footage at 1:52 was filmed on November 5, 2015 and not on November 7, as incorrectly indicated in the video.

Fight segregation with... segregation...?
a place where they feel safe without people who have historically oppressed them and way too many continue to..so yes. being black in america is a struggle on its own
@@sam-tu5bk Safe from what? How are they being racially oppressed at that (or this) very moment? They are in a great university in one of the wealthiest countries in the world and they talk about being oppressed, smfh. They probably got a handout from affirmative action and yet complain about some universal oppression that is out to get them. None of these people can even provide a scenario where they're being oppressed.
@@Henry-uv9du do not undermine their successes in the name of affirmative action.
Yeah how are they being oppressed? I'd love to actually hear specifics instead of vague accusations. What is the systemic racism that's happening to them at this college?
@@krystlove9476 it undermines itself. Blame the system.
HOLD ON... so they achieved SEGREGATION? Which is what Wilson proposed back in his day.... ???.... that can't be right. Am I understanding this thing correctly?

+Sigrafix lmao
+Undiddley Yes, you're understanding this perfectly.
+Undiddley I'm dumbfounded on how this generation is actively scrubbing and erasing the hardships of their previous generations.

Don't give them segregation! As soon as they have it they will complain about it and that time they will be in the right!
"He actually told black protesters that segregation was beneficial."
"We want a 'black space' on campus."
Nauseum yeah they need to make that space OFF campus. Without affirmative action, 99% of them wouldn’t BE there and they KNOW it.
It's actually unbelievable that a living person edited this piece together with zero hint of satire

7:44 because screaming at a very well-tempered man that isn't screaming at you is the most logical thing to do when "negotiating." Grow up.
This is why colleges need to be very selective of the students they let through their doors. Affirmative action has done nothing but harm the very fabric of production and education in this country and I see why now that it was mistake to implement it in this country. As a black person myself, I know that people would say I’m a sell out an Uncle Tom etc etc. However when you look at what the results of allowing certain black students into these Ivy League schools has produced one can see my point. Disruption, obstruction, and a change in the very identity of the school itself. Fundamental changes which is only a value to blacks and a superficial one at best. This is why I say black people are so easily influenced and triggered, because all it takes is the mention of race and they go nuts. The very “privilege” of being granted entry into these school should not be taken for granted, however they seek to do just that by taking up most of the precious time they have at these institutions, protesting and disrupting. They are assisted by their white liberal counterparts, whom I believe are there only to distract, and assist black people in missing the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunities they have at higher education. The white liberal doesn’t want blacks to learn, in fact they seek to disrupt the learning process by distracting blacks from their higher education. Think about it, it was the white liberals who enslaved blacks in the first place, it was the white liberal who created the KKK, fought against the abolition of slavery and have now change their tactic to being the apologetic ally of blacks all while still supporting welfare for blacks, knowing that welfare has never done much in the way of helping blacks prosper in this country. They seek to reestablish old lines of division such a segregation in the form of safe spaces and blatant segregated dorms and graduations. They seek also to deny blacks open discussion, dialog and chances to hear both sides of the argument when it comes to conservatism vs liberalism. The white liberal is afraid and always has been afraid of blacks getting educated and understanding their history, so they constantly assist blacks in the their own distraction, by now supposedly giving them platforms to air their grievances all while distracting them from real education. They now have such words as triggering, safe space, comfort level as barometers for what is acceptable at these colleges rather than discipline, perseverance, and consistency. It’s a crying shame.
Spot on, all tge recent Equity intiatives over the past few years have ruined schools through dumbing the curriculum down. City and county governments turned into cliwn shows through hiring unqualified people in order to check off diversity boxes on applications.
The New Deal?
Reforms during the Great Depression?
I'm pretty sure that was Franklin D. Roosevelt.
jeez thanks i was afraid nobody else caught that
Seriously, Woodrow Wilson was dead by the start of the Depression. Vice maintaining that high level of accuracy.
Lol, I caught that too, I didn't want to say anything because I don't know if Woodrow Wilson might of had a hand in so of the programs and policies,
Hahaha vice is about twenty years inaccurate
Woodrow Wilson obviously had nothing to do with the New deal. But it should be acknowledged his role in influencing the United Nations, as he conceived of a plan for repairing European relations called "The League of Nations" which in concept, was basically the same as the EU. However tensions were too high in Europe at the time and European allied powers decided to punish the central powers instead.
This is the most entitled thing ive ever seen.
Ghana offered to take in American Blacks because "if America doesn't want you, we do.". They mentioned how African Americans have the financial means to go there for travel and such. So basically, money. African Americans are well off when compared to those in Ghana. Speaks loads
So, the black students want segregation. Exactly what Woodrow Wilson supported.
yea, go figure
Bahahahaaa
Martin Luther King is rolling in his grave.
Why would they want a 'black room'? Isn't that just a return to segregation?
+Acquavallo Come to think of it, not a bad idea. Then they will all be in one place away from everyone else. Of course, the black women will drive all of the black men out, who will just go looking for easy white women as usual. Eventually the black women will find someone and something else to have a tantrum about.

Political correctness has gone too far.

+Kupopoo Yeah, being sensitive to other people's concerns is terrible!
The problem with political correct people is they don't know when to draw the line between "having done enough" and simply "going too far".
Ok, imagine if we went to your local college and put up a sector called, "Osama Bin Laden School of Law."
and anyways, political correctness is simple, don't swear or say that someone is a horrible pig. Well, in recent years, some dicks thought that political correctness meant DON'T SAY THE WORD BLACK OR EVEN USE A WHITE BLACKGROUND.

This is what happens when colleges are legally obliged to accept stupid kids and give them easy pass classes so they can feel like theyy actually are smart and matter when just 20 years ago they would be standing behind a counter at McDonald's asking "would you like fries with that"?
Your better off just attending a top public school. I go to U.I.U.C. and there isnt crazy shit like this happening. Mostly because the rich of the rich go to Ivy League schools.
"We're demanding a black space on campus". They're literally fighting for segregation.... Without a doubt, one of the dumbest things I have ever heard in my entire life.

School president: "I agree with you that Woodrow Wilson was a racist, and I think that we need to acknowledge that."
Students: *proceed to grill and scream at president for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

the amount of uhhs that occurred
This is what happens when everyone gets a trophy.

I really love New Jersey. Grew up their my entire life and I just can't believe this is happening in such a beautiful school. It's literally an art and all these so called liberals and people trying to eliminate "racism" are the ones creating it and ruining this beautiful school's reputation. This is what happens when you accept people because affirmative action or because they had a status quo to meet.
As a black man myself I totally agree. An it's a shame University, corporations, etc don't have a strong enough back bone to just say f u and move on.
1960 - WE WANT EQUALITY!!!
2015 - WE WANT SEGREGATION!!!
2070 - WE WANT SLAVE MASTERS???
And the Cycle Repeats
And people make money with that !disgusting...
I love it "Woodrow Wilson was a racist that thought segregation was good"
"We demand a black space on campus"
How do these people function, the simple task of breathing must be really hard for them.
A "Black area" in the university? Now this is actually racist.
Princeton has failed to teach history to these students. Here is a history lesson. All previous generations of people had overt beliefs, attitudes, including all types of bigoted ones, by today's standards. Most of us would cringe if they were alive today. By the standards that these students have set, one couldn't name anything after anyone from the past because these people all had some kind of skeletons in their closet. The first people's of North America could argue that you shouldn't call any building after anyone because those people killed their people and stole their land. You want to hold the people of the past to an impossible standard. You should advocate for not naming buildings after anyone ever again. Also you want a "black space" for black people. What you are asking for seems to me like filthy segregation. A "black room" and "separate housing"? Jesus that is segregation. Fuck me. Talk about regressive.
Smh i upset with my generation to the point where i just want to leave this country, everyone is pussy who feeling get hurt for everything, and blacks arent helping, at all,
HydroEthiopians
I didn't kill any first people's of North America. Also another pet peeve of mine is when people take credit or responsibility for the actions of their ancestors. I am not responsible nor do I take credit for the actions or inactions of my ancestors.
If a school name offended me, or was perceived as hateful, I would attend a different school. I also have to agree how awkward it sounds making a list of demands including a segregated area inside the school, when the namesake they're angry at, agreed that segregation was okay. So... In a backward kind of way, these protesters found something they can agree on with Pres. Woodrow Wilson... "Segregation is beneficial." ?? My head hurts. And I regret watching this video. Prayers for Paris!
they arent asking for much
They aren’t asking, they are almost at the point of unlawful detention of the president. Asking is having a respectful meeting and talking about it
If they hated the name so much, why did they go to the school? Surely they saw the name when they applied.
Wilson was for segregation I don't feel the need to say that is awful but they want a segregated black space?
Did I understand this correctly?
Yes you did. It's lunacy.
How can you violently be against even remembering a important dead person who said segregation was favorable for black people, while demanding you be segregated at the same time...?
Most of these comments give me more hope for humanity. Thank you, everybody. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees through this horseshit
they took this way too far. changing name's of buildings is reasonable. a black space? wanting someone fired for not restricting a Halloween costume? Are these people trying to get anything?
and to the guy opposed to the protest, you're okay with blacks calling for segregation but you aren't okay with the changing of a name... but you aren't racist. This whole video is full of assholes
+joe bob you're right let's just name it Hitler's school of engineering.... dumbass
+joe bob sorry, I'm being black. you're not a dumbass you have a point, but I do too
+Tyler Baptiste They take it too far, or do they rather lose their focus totally about the subject? I mean is, I agree, change the name, but the rest you mentioned is not even in the same category, quite the opposite. IMHO naming things after people is a bad idea, pretty much always. In Finland, they just named a park after Lenin... *sigh*
Its called an analogy. If you are okay with these idiots asking for a black space aka segregation, but you are not okay with the change of a name, you are a racist in disguise. That is exactly what a racist would think
Martin Luther King would be so PROUD.
Not!
Lol y’all killed him anyway. Malcolm would be proud!
Oh God, what are they whining about now???
Woodrow Wilson behind the New Deal during the great recession? I think Simon is confusing Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt - or did I miss something in history class?
ThoughtSpin
No. This guy doesn't know his history.
ThoughtSpin The New Deal happened during the Great Depression. The Great Recession began in 2008.
so let me get this straight: they're protesting racism and yet want to segregate part of the campus?!?! i'd expect much less cognitive dissonance from students of such supposedly prestigious schools...
what a pointless protest
"Is there racism on campus,"
Reply: buzzword, buzzword, buzzword. Nothing specific.
That SJW finger snap clap though
lmfao
I am embarrassed at my generations abysmal job at parenting. We have failed to teach these kids any meaningful values.
The fellas and their lovely ladies don't want equality. They want "special" treatment and tyrannical control.
I can't have any pride saying "I'm a college student" when these children exist.
10:54 - "...it (administration) would consider separate housing for black students..."
Lol, isn't that segregation?!
Revisiting this in 2020: these students would object to Abraham Lincoln's face on the penny, if they read his writings.
Why do a lot of jumped up African Americans think their race built everything in America and are therefore owed a debt?
Your ancestors worked the fields. They did not build that room.
I genuinely think someone needs to take these people aside and politely inform them of this.
They did build buildings too, they build the white house, but honestly whites contructed jus has much, china mee too, and mexicans now, blacks tho need logic courses and history lessons, for free
+Richard The Lionheart Slavery gave America the freedom to grow financially in a significant way. Infrastructure was built in part with this.

David n A cursory reexamination of the issue is revealing. I would consider the following, which warrants some follow up fact checking:
"Nevertheless, slavery was indispensable to European development of the New World. It is inconceivable that European colonists could have settled and developed North and South America and the Caribbean without slave labor. Moreover, slave labor did produce the major consumer goods that were the basis of world trade during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries: coffee, cotton, rum, sugar, and tobacco.
"In the pre-Civil War United States, a stronger case can be made that slavery played a critical role in economic development. One crop, slave-grown cotton provided over half of all U.S. export earnings. By 1840, the South grew 60 percent of the world's cotton and provided some 70 percent of the cotton consumed by the British textile industry. Thus slavery paid for a substantial share of the capital, iron, and manufactured good that laid the basis for American economic growth. In addition, precisely because the South specialized in cotton production, the North developed a variety of businesses that provided services for the slave South, including textile factories, a meat processing industry, insurance companies, shippers, and cotton brokers.
www.gilderlehrman.org/history-by-era/slavery-and-anti-slavery/resources/was-slavery-engine-american-economic-growth
I would suggest digging into this topic a little deeper, as I will be doing.
David n Also you are comparing slave labour, unpaid workers owned by someone, to people working paid jobs, so it's kind of an asinine comparison.
this is why you never see generosity or kindness anymore. everybody wants to take advantage of you, if you give a little, they'll take a lot
I honestly mean no offense or disrespect, but isn't asking for a black space or separate housing for African American students some form of segregation? Imagine this request coming from the as-called white students....?
Ha, riight. This PC shit is getting out of hand. People should be protesting Woodrow Wilson because of his help in creating the Federal Income Tax and the Federal Reserve. The reason we are ALL $laves now!!
If they are so hurt by the name of the school why do they go there?
Im proud to be white heterosexual European, sorry.
+չէ հայերեն Then you have nothing to do with this video. This is strictly a US internal issue.

+Blade Strikes This is US internal matter, whether you are grey or blue or Japanese or Slovenian, it doesn't concern you. Concentrate on your own shit country.

batfan9 why not :3
Hold on. Did he just say at 11:00 that the black students wanted some separate housing and space? They want segregation?
Sooo... "We want the name Woodrow Wilson removed because he believed in segregation. Then, we want to segregate ourselves from students of different races."
Am I understanding this correctly?
I wonder if Simon wishes he was back in Ukraine right about now.
Somehow, I feel like the world might have made more sense over there.
+Stan V I wouldn't blame him if he did
+Stan V Not really better, here we got stupidity on both sides, and all sane people got silenced
I can't understand why Simon Ostrovsky says that Woodrow Wilson was behind the New Deal during the Great Depression (05:13).
Woodrow Wilson died in 1924, before the Great Depression occurred.
Disappointing that this made it past editing.
"Lord of the Flies"
Redo of the B/W movie from the 60's, with a much louder and simpleminded cast.
This is just positively painful to watch. I had to stop it when the one girl said "this university owes us EVERYTHING".
Yeah...the first ten seconds...lmao
So... they segregated themselves by having the black space... but they were fighting against segregation.....
11:00
Reporter: Asks question
Response: ignores question and proceeds to flex about how much power they gained over the administration
Sums up the whole movement
I learned so much from this video, like how Wilson's new deal of the depression made a huge impact. Here I was thinking Wilson was dead and Roosevelt II "was behind" the new deal. I guess I wasn't paying attention in class.
I also learned how the blacks at Princeton want a segregated room for themselves and segregated housing, and Princeton feels empowered to provide that service for them.
To give a background, Im a 50 year old female from Manila, Philippines. I happen to be highly educated in one of the best schools in the world and yet a person like me is still branded a domestic helper (as a first impression) and even Merriam Webster wanted to define Filipina as 'house maid.' And yet, I do not feel oppressed. I strongly believe that 'respect' is earned, not given. And you young lady certainly should not use that tone of voice and manner of speaking to the President of Princeton University (just because he is genteel and well-educated.) Point is, if you want to be respected, you have to be respectable. As my 18 year old daughter puts it, you just "brought the hood to Princeton!"
Reading the comments below, people are still stuck in the ideology of race. This is a symptom of the higher education bubble, not race. College is becoming more and more useless, and people at these prestigious schools are feeling it. This is just a way for people to take out their pent up rage at having wasted many years studying standardized tests and taking out lots of loans. High school counselors need to sit every kid down and talk to them about the other options besides college. The more this higher education bubble continues, the more people not meant for college or not ready for college will be going to institutions that don't nurture their talents. Nuff said by me. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
+JerryLiuFilms | 刘悦 | LiuTube College is only useless if you major in "African studies" or "Womyn and Gender studies"
John Moe Yes. You make a very good point. College should be an investment that will truly help you for one's future. To do so, one could get a degree in a technical or analytical field (like business, engineering, nursing, computer science etc), or get exposed to ideas and knowledge that will help one understand the world and become a citizen that really understands how to think rationally and for the long-term (philosophy, logic, political science, history comes to mind). When taking the second approach, it's essential to open the mind and take those classes that may go against one's existing biases. That's the only way to grow as a person. Vindicating one's existing beliefs is not true education. That's all I have to say. Happy thanksgiving :)
Those people do not realize how fucking lucky and privileged and they are to be attending university, let alone top ranking universities and they still have reason to complain about petty bs? Those Ivy league black kids are better off than a large majority of the population in the US and they still feel slighted?
Blacks need to learn how to rise up and get our own. Let's build and support our schools.
+Alton Johnson They already have. Go visit Liberia....please.
U PC Bro?, Liberia is war torn. VICE has a documentary on it. And I was referring to black Americans. Africans don't consider themselves black like us.
Amazing. I feel far smarter knowing that these people can go to Princeton and Yale while I wasn't allowed due to my lack of privilege.
They are fighting against Wilson's name being on campus because he was in favor of segregation... ok, but then why demand a "black space" for yourselves?
Are you only in favor of segregation when it's on your terms?
Did anyone else notice the blatant mistake from Simon in stating that Wilson was behind the New Deal during the Great Depression? I know there has to be editors of these stories and I'm just wondering how that could be so obviously missed. It's essentially the focal point of the story, and so the mistake truly does matter. Not a big deal in the whole scheme of life, but I was surprised by this factual blunder.
I'm curious what time of year this protest occurred. When I was at university, there was always a protest in the summer just before exam time.
I am having difficulty linking President Wilson to the New Deal reforms. Is it simply because his policies designed to strengthen Federal power during WWI were the precedents FDR used to justify intervention? Or was a direct policy like the Federal Reserve Act so critical to the New Deal that he is credited posthumously? Thanks!
Im just afraid that at one point we cant criticise "minority's" anymore without facing claims of you being a racist/sexist/etc
Wake up nigga, were already there, america is dumb as shit
+Billy Uhh thats already how it is.
Wait, at 5:17 he said that wilson was responsible for the new deal policies during the great depression. Is he thinking of FDR? I think he is confused.
i am african american, but i believe separating the housing is not a good demand. I believe to an extent that something should be changed. Now, 'black space'' and ''separate housing is too extreme. Some change is good, but not all.
Here's what happens when you have affirmative actions. You put students in schools that are too challenging for them, they get drawn to those "oppression", "microaggression", "racism"...... because they are stressed. Send them to Arizona State University, definitely no more protests.
I can sympathize with changing the name, but why do they need a black space? why not a hispanic space, Asian space, or Arab space? Isn't one of the points of college or university to immerse yourself in the culture of others and broaden your horizons? I'm not writing this because I disagree, but I don't belueve understand the demand or what a black space entails. Can someone elaborate for me?
I can, you are aboulutely right, we may Disagree a little on the changing of the name, but your right, but this is black previlegde, i mean i jus found out last month there was black only colleges,
+Jorge Juan Vazquez Fair comment.
I love it when they use big words. Breaks me up every time.
It really is funny, lol.
The quote by the trespassing woman at the start of the video says it all, "This University owes us everything! This was built on the backs of MY people. I don't know owe of you guys anything!"
1) entitlement: the students should be grateful they are there -- they are students at one of the best school in the country and have nothing to complain about.
2) Imagined harm: the school wasn't built "on the backs of her people." Neither she, nor her ancestors had anything to do with it, and system of slavery that was employed to built it, was abolished after a bloody war.
3) No sense of obligation -- if she is "owed" then who's supposed to pay?
I love how she went from Woodrow Wilson to White people. Okay. I thought it was about Wilson being a racist
Protest and profanity are not okay together. Evergreen State taught us that. And here we are...
So basically these people fight for their right to discriminate against people with different skin colour... They are hypocrites.
I don't understand why they want a "Black space", isn't that them segregating them selves...
sshhhhh. just let them do it.
"Yes,we agree with you wholeheartedly and this is why...."
"BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND"
?????!?!?!?!
When schools get a name, that individual name is a symbol of legacy of their achievement in their specific field. In this case Wilson's contributions and achievements to international and public policy, as well as his contribution to the institution itself. No one picked the name thinking, oh yea, this will be a good way to hurt black students, or that he is a racist.
Second, universities provide a service, it is called education. They do no owe you or me or anyone anything. That is why there are tuition fees.
If students are unhappy with the names of the buildings, they can protest by leaving the school and go to a school with a name that is apt for them.
Trying to copy other university students and riding on a trend of protests? Surprised that is the kind of students Princeton accepts.
Good lord vice how can you under good concience be this biased in your reporting?
Privileged to go to college. Says the college owes them everything.
Pride in circumstance. You have pride to be an American. Why, you did not build it, work for it, it is just circumstance that you were born here. Pride in your skin color. Why, you have no control over that. It is circumstance what race you were born into. The environment you were born into, the body you keep, is all just a shell. be proud of the spirit inside you. Be proud of what you build, what you create, what you do in this world.
They condemn a segregationist but demand a "black space" and "black dorm"
From proxy war to сhimpоuts. Simon sadly had fallen low.
I had to pay for my entire education while working full time. So this is incredibly stupid to me, to imagine that the most privileged kids in America are complaining about their school while checking twitter on their Mac book Pros. How grotesque that this is even allowed one campus. They should be removed the moment they insult a member of faculty.
The University owes them nothing. Let's just get that right. They can oppose the name which I think is right and just but you can't just say they owe them everything.
USPATRIOT99 a name change would be nice though in my opinion but that’s the extent of liberal mentality.........
@@somkeshav4143 Why would you consider the name change nice? What of woodrows view did you disagree with? It could not have been segregation.
A G I disliked the racism he had (unconventional even for the time period) and his idea for the League of Nations. But it’s mostly his racism that people have a problem with along with connections to the KKK.
Edit: the KKK revival was due in part due to his love for the movie: “The Birth of a Nation”
Wait...Wilson was supporting segregaion, and now they want "black space on campus", wtf
Ah the ME ME ME generation.
5:10 woodrow wilson did not enact the new deal during the depression (1929 - 1939) woodrow wilsons term was from 1913 - 1921. Theodore Roosevelt enacted the new deal (1933 - 1937) get your facts straight before you start spouting this shit
Nor was it Theodore Roosevelt... lol... try FDR
Hahaha it was FDR. Why is everyone so stupid. 😭
Indeed this is one of the most important issues in this world
