Doesn’t take much to turn a startle into a stampede:
Colgate University went on lockdown and students were ordered to shelter in place for four hours Monday night while police investigated reports of a gunman on the upstate New York campus. But the “threat” turned out to be a student using a glue gun for an art project.
The campus lockdown occurred after reports that someone had “entered the O’Connor Campus Center while carrying what witnesses believed was a weapon,” said a statement from university spokesman Daniel DeVries…
But some Colgate students expressed concerns about suspected overreactions to the incident on their campus because the student with the glue gun is African-American.
As police scoured buildings at Colgate, a university of 2,900 undergraduates located in Hamilton about 40 miles from Syracuse, students said rumors spread that there were two gunmen, and one had committed suicide — none of which was true.
Again, amygdalae that do not discriminate well, and as a result they see one thing and misidentify another. You don’t even have to ask if the person who made the discrimination error would hate President Donald Trump. Your brain doesn’t need to consciously understand amygdala, or r or K. It instinctively would know that the misreporting of a glue gun and extreme rabbitism would go hand in hand.
It would also make a fairly good guess as to whether the student in question had a long history of confronting hardship and shortage, or whether they had an easy life spent protected with free resources, as well as how well they would have functioned in each environment.
r/K Theory is innate.
[…] Liberal Snowflakes Freak Out Over A Glue Gun […]
Colgate University is a private university in upstate New York. I don’t think there would be many Trump supporters there. In fact, I would be willing to bet that there will be required attendance to the subsequent seminars on White privilege because some White rabbit assumed that a negro was more likely to engage in violent behavior. Which, of course, is true.
How would students who have never touched a power tool in their life distinguish a weapon from a tool?
“But some Colgate students expressed concerns about suspected overreactions to the incident on their campus because the student with the glue gun is African-American.”
Someone wanted to start a local Klan chapter because the negroes have glue guns now???
