Apparently no one is allowed through the tunnel tonight. This is in response to people writing the n word in the free expression tunnel. 11/4/2010 1:21:15 AM |

I don't think they ever specified. My friend parkour'd the rail and walked through before he realized the girl he was with was stuck in the middle. The cops were called and she was let through the blockade. 11/4/2010 1:31:13 AM |

^^^ Wat?
Anyway. I agree with blocking the free expression tunnel. This is a school campus. If students can't conduct themselves as adults, they should have the privilege taken away. If you feel the need to write nigger everywhere, do it on your facebook wall and stop ruining shit for everyone else.

What makes you think students did it? I could ride my bike over to campus at like 4:00 a.m. and write whatever the fuck I wanted. So could you. I'm starting to suspect merbig on these latest thoughtcrimes. 11/4/2010 1:37:45 AM |

I think it's a bit of an over-reaction. Just paint over stuff if you don't like it, no need to block the tunnel for everyone because someone wrote a bad word.

free somewhat limited (i.e. not free) expression tunnel
i mean, i don't condone the behavior at all and wish that this sort of thing didn't happen... but yeah. hate speech or not, it's expression.

I just hate the logic. People who need to get to the library instead have to take other routes.
The other routes are less taken, darker, and historically have had more crime (I mean the Pedestrian Tunnel on the other side of Talley is where all those muggings happened last year basically).
Just kind of shitty logic. Not sure it was the best plan. 11/4/2010 1:48:07 AM |

You seriously sound like you're afraid of losing to them somehow. A rational adult should be able to read or hear whatever is thrown at them and make their own decision as to what is wrong or right. Censoring a view is never any good. I'm referring to true censorship such as this blackout of course; not just the masses of people overwriting ignorant statements on their own accord. I tend to think that people should be able to think for themselves, but apparently you and NCSU disagree.11/4/2010 2:19:36 AM |

Nobody learns anything from getting their ass kicked. If anything it will just reinforce their stereotypes. Not saying there aren't situations where it is warranted, but if you want to really make a change you have to do so by setting a good example and through open discussion.
If you just want revenge then go ahead with the ass kickings. Just don't fool yourself into thinking it's helping the world in any way.

My apologies once again, but I don't think I'm mistaken that hanging all the bad people will get rid of all the bad people.
(Note: "hanging" is pretty much what I meant by "beating the shit out of." I'm not one for half-measures. I am, however, one for hanging.)

We're on a college campus, what rationale? If people were rational to begin with, then they wouldn't be spraying hate speech all over the walls and shit.
Quote : | "Censoring a view is never any good. I'm referring to true censorship such as this blackout of course; not just the masses of people overwriting ignorant statements on their own accord." |
People are truly censored all of the time. I'm sorry if you still believe in "freedom of speech." We have freedom of political speech. But we're still censored in that we can't spread blatant lies about people (slander/libel), you can't yell "fire" in a movie theater. There's nothing political, or even valuable in some hate filled speech on a wall. It's nothing more than a nuisance.
It's also worth mentioning that nobody is keeping these people from posting their hate on the Internet, in a newspaper, on their facebook wall. Only in a tunnel, and the last time I checked, the tunnel isn't a right.
Quote : | "I tend to think that people should be able to think for themselves, but apparently you and NCSU disagree." |
This has nothing to do with thinking for yourself or themselves or whatever. It has to do with allowing offensive material to be posted on a public universities website. Again, this isn't anything of any worth. There is no insight in calling someone a nigger. It's just hate. That's all. It's there to insight anger. What type of message would the school be sending to black people if they allowed "nigger" to be written in a tunnel that easily sees 1000 people go through it a day? They would be fostering an atmosphere of hate, prejudice and racism.
If these people want to hate black people or throw the word around like it's going out of style, fine. But don't put up on a school's wall. If they have something worthwhile to say, then I have no problem if they say it. If they want to paint a picture of Obama and write "Maobama" under it, fine. But if they want to paint a picture of a hanging black person with the words "dead nigger" besides it, that is unacceptable to be allowed on a school campus. Go do that shit on your own property or where someone will allow it.11/4/2010 4:09:51 AM |

hate speech is still speech, and in this country if it isn't a direct threat, it is still free speech yeah, its wrong. yeah, it makes the students of this University look bad but its still protected under the 1st amendment, which is everything the FREE expression tunnel is about.
just like the people at the tunnel are protected by their constitutional right to gather and protest. i don't think it should be okay for them to "block off" the tunnel, but the permit they obtained through the University said they could do so, so they are.11/4/2010 4:44:35 AM |

Nah, you dont have to worry about this. If all the black people are busy blocking the free expression tunnel, you can walk elsewhere without fear of getting mugged/raped/shot.

Only stupid people are intolerant.
It takes 2 stupid people for this to happen. 1 dumb enough to do it. An the other dumb enough to be offended by it thus giving person 1 what they want.
