Oberlin College President Marvin Krislov responded to a 14-page list of demands submitted to the president’s office by Oberlin’s Black Student Union (BSU).
Members of the BSU demanded “black student leaders be provided a $8.20/hr stipend for their continuous organizing efforts around the well-being of Black people on Oberlin’s campus” and asked for the creation of “exclusive black safe-spaces on campus,” including segregated spaces in the library and science building.
The BSU also criticized Oberlin’s dining services for not understanding “traditional meals” of Black Americans and a lack of “authentic food ideas” in dining halls. “Black American food doesn’t have much cream in it,” the list of demands stated. The BSU also demanded fried chicken be made a permanent feature on the school’s menu.

1. Students (of ANY Color) are at College to LEARN! Not work as Racist Agitators. 2. Did these particular Black students Fail American History? Especially the Civil Rights Era? The demands they are making today are what Blacks fought against in the 60’s and also highly Racist and Offensive (especially the menu).
These students are doing more to destroy Dr. King’s Dream than achieve it!
Public schools and many private schools no longer teach real U.S. history.
For the States that have surrendered to Common Core and its predecessors U.S. history starts AFTER the Civil War ignoring the founding documents and great leaders such as, Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and Lincoln.
What is taught is negative towards white Americans, capitalism and Christianity.
You will find more articles from recent magazines in the curriculum than you will find historical references. The writings of George Clooney garner more space than the writings of Mark Twain.
The Progressives have successfully indoctrinated the minds of America’s youth. Check out this this electoral map from 2008 for ages 19-29:

Very true Oday.. One of the BIGGEST aspects of the whole MLK civil rights movement WAS removing Segregation.. Now these cow pats, want to reinstigate it?
King imo is rolling around in his grave!
Where do I start?
Fried chicken, that’s not a stereotype.
Segregated Areas, Thought we ended segregation.
“All students should also be required to take a course such as Black Arts Workshop and or African American Drama.
We see and hear “Black Drama” everyday, People whining about how unfair the world is to them.
Milk and cookies followed by nap time.
Recess.
Participation trophies for enrollment (attendance not required)
Members of the BSU demanded “black student leaders be provided a $8.20/hr stipend for their continuous organizing efforts around the well-being of Black people on Oberlin’s campus.
Seems they must have been listening to Chicago’s Blackstone Rangers’ street gang and Jesse Jackson. They used similar tactics in Chicago in the past.
Agreed. They want the College they are supposedly PAYING to attend, to foot the bill for their rabble rousing??
I hope to heck the Uni president tells them to go shove it.. You want to get paid to rabble rouse, go join some anarchist group!
After reading all the demands, Oberlin should demand that no black students be admitted to this college. Education over troublemaking – throw the disrupter’s out now.
Like our President, This is what you get when you try to cram too much knowledge into a brain that has not the capacity to process or hold on to it. These entitlement minions who think the inmates should run the asylum are just like our President who bred them. Nothing is so cruel than to raise the expectation of a class of people only to see those expectations prove to be unrealistic and unattainable. No I’m not speaking of blacks and education, I’m speaking of Black American Communities unable to grasp the concepts of SELF-Government or self-sacrifice,which requires its participants to be able to first govern Self, passions and emotions. Believe me as a white American I am as disappointed and discouraged as the next man in this empirical loss of a cherished concept idea, when all men are proving not to be equal in outcome when presented with equal opportunity and knowledge. This trust in our fellow presumed equal, albeit black Americans to fulfill their obligations to carry their own weight in a SELF-governing society is not working out, with our divisive entitlement preaching President a major reason for bearing a good part of the blame.
Free stuff and social promotion, eh?
Looking through that list, it almost seems like they want to be the ones RUNNIGN the institution, not just paid students going there. Especially #15..
DEMAND back that if they are not happy with the school as it is…GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!
The college president shouldn’t waste a second in letting the racist whiny brats that their list of demands was used as toilet paper.
None of these demands should be met. Nothing should be provided any student because of skin color. They have opportunity for a college education, take it
or leave it on the same terms as white students. If this nation doesn’t stop coddling blacks, homosexuals and deviates it will surely be destroyed. It is truly amazing how much disorganization can be caused by one moronic community organizer in wash. dc. That in itself is another instance of affirmative actions abysmal failure.
This is incredible as in not believable as in baloney. I don’t believe any black students asked for fried chicken to be permanently on the cafeteria menu.
It has a hoaxy sound to it.
Muslim’s demand footbaths, prayer time, special meals in colleges and prisons. They take cashier jobs and refuse to handle any pork. They take delivery jobs but refuse to deliver alcohol or pick up passenger’s if they carry liquor in a package.
Guess you think that’s a hoax too?
gimme, gimme, gimme, don’t black ever think(well that’s a no) about earning anything. they should remember that the plantation owners gave them everything they needed to survive too. so it looks to me like they like being slaves. now their labor is going to the polls and voting rather than the cotton fields. still slavery which ever way you cut it. not too smart but then look at them, they refuse to learn.
If I was running the campus, I would tell this rat / trash garbage to go to an all black college, so they could eat their collard greens!
“Oberlin College President Marvin Krislov responded…” Nowhere does it say what his response was, nor does it give the reaction to his response. Very poor journalism.
You must have missed the last line in the article.

Cream on your food? Really? Boo hoo…need a safe spot…boo hoo…
Black kids in Chicago are getting blown away by other black kids…like they’re some kind of target at a carnival…
And these kids whine about cream on their food? These kids are too stupid to remember that historically combining chicken with blacks was considered racist. Besides chicken isn’t cheap anymore and schools have a cafeteria budget to follow…If you don’t like the lunch being served, go out and buy some–or heaven forbid, make and bring your own meal…what’s the matter? Mommie not there to spoon feed you in your highchair?
Kids in college today are so disgustingly helpless and whiners…maybe we should go back to the draft where kids had to learn to grow up…that’s one big difference in kids today…
The first thing a college kid should be issued today along with dorm sheets are a huge bag of Pampers, rattle, and pacifier…
Affirmative Action is where this all started…
And the fact that they are ‘demanding this’ and promising Issues if not met” is imo Blackmail. Which last i checked was illegal to do!
If they demand “fried Chicken” in the lunch hall did they forget watermelon free for all blacks. At the next black only meeting I bet someone will pay dearly for forgetting the watermelon!
I wish every black was on the same page, then we could move them to their own country. Say the Congo or somewhere similar.
And if the cafeteria were to serve fried chicken and watermelon every day, you’d have people screaming that was ‘racisst’ anyway = /
No black country or continent wants any part of today’s Negro American that whines, cries, mugs, robs,and walks around with their hand out DEMANDING equal results without equal participation. I witnessed the victimization of whitey by the affirmative actions white rabble in the Air Force in the 50s and 60s. Removing reference to race in personnel records and substituting an 8×10 portrait in your promotion folder definitely ensured unbiased promotion within the enlisted ranks, as did grading skill evaluation testing on the bell curve (spreading out the qualifying numbers). The bell curve and the portrait made it certain that there would be plenty of unqualified Negros to be promoted. Don’t get me wrong, one of the finest Non Commissioned Officers I ever worked for was a Negro Tech. Sgt. from the WWII Tuskegee Airmen fame. I think I learned more about being a leader of men from him in the 2 years that I worked for him than I did in the next 23 years of service. I have no problem withanyone getting what they have earned. I do object to handouts.
It’s called the “Soy-Tm” Syndrome. (Society Owes It To Me) It’s a cancer of the Progressive Liberals. Free abortions, Free Food, Free HealthCare, Free Telephones, Free Housing, Free Education, etc… It is a Cancerous “Syndrome” of Blacks, Whites and all others who think they should get (Read “Deserve”) what the “producers” of our society reap from their hard work and perserverence toward a better life. The “SOY-TM Syndrome” is rampent throughout the Black community and it’s raising it’s ugly head again at Oberlin College.
Black spaces only? Okay, send them to a different college!
There are plenty of black colleges in America. Why did they bother to attend a college with a ‘welcome all’ sign when they could have put themselves in a safe zone by enrolling at a black college?
My answer to myself…it is NOTHING about education…it is ALL about rabble-rousing. I doubt they are even concerned about which major would provide them with a good education and preparation for a great-paying job such as engineering. Community organizing seems to be the number one ‘major’ in today’s institutes of higher education.
Very true. I know several Dozen black only (or predomintely black) colleges where they can go..
So now they expect to be PAID for whining and making constant ridiculous demnds? Amazing!
You can’t make this stuff up!
I read the complete list of DEMANDS made by the BSU. Sheesh! Question: EVEN IF these DEMANDS are met, would it change anything, and IF the DEMANDS are met………. who going to pay for it? ANSWER: Tuition will have to go up, then they’ll be grousing about that too!
janey, I seriously doubt if most of these “students” who are making the demands are PAYING any tuition. There are beaucoup FREE GRANTS out there for black students–no matter HOW substandard their transcripts–all courtesy of the “white privilege” they are always crying about.
And what’s worse is did you see in the list of demands, where they want MORE Grants vice school loans? Along with “FREE ONE SEMESTER classes” to get offered to ANYONE? If my hair was any longer, i would have pulled it all out by now, at the sheer stupidity of all this..
***? Really? This is another scam, tell them to seek another school if they don’t like what’s being taught in that college, they are in for a rude awakening when they seek employment i nthe real world!
I read this whole piece, including all the “Demands”. I would suggest that the Oberlan President, and Directors deliver the entire missile back to the Black Students, and suggest a dark, proper, place for it to be shoved. Then return any monies the Black students have paid the College, and give hem a first class Greyhound ticket to Howard University. I guess everybody understands that all this excrement comes from having a Community Organizer as president for the past 7+ years.
Oh wahhh bunch of cry babies! You don’t like it there go somewhere else no ones forcing you to eat in the cafeteria or go to school there. These kids need to get out & work for a living, I started out working in a warehouse didn’t like it so I learned to be a mechanic, then I learned to be a construction carpenter to make more money.
getting really sick of them people.
Huh? what does Israel have to do with it? Goal #3.
From looking at it, they feel Israel’s handling of Palestine, (most likely the consistent bombing of those who prey ON Israel) is ‘akin to the anti-blackness of the US”.. You just can’t make this Idiocy up?? Blacks in the US these days have it BETTER than whites do..
You don’t see whites rioting and looting and getting away with it.
You don’t see whites committing crimes and having friends and families protest to get it overturned..
You don’t see whites being given 2-3-5 times the attempts to take a test and pass it for certain jobs, or given POINTS so they don’t have to pass it with as high a score as others do..
And the list goes on…
The resegregation of America! Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. must be turning over in his grave to hear such drivvel. Sounds like separate but equal facilities all over again, worse: judging by the color of one’s shin and not the content of the heart! Long live the stereotype. If you don’t like the college, take your tuition money and go someplace that lives up to your demands.
I’m not sure about these people, they seem to be the kind of people that would slam their fingers in their own car door and then sue the car for breaking them. My son has requested information from numerous colleges and he is requesting acceptance, unfortunately some of them reject us reject him because we do not make enough money or his grades were not high enough, which he has a 3.8 grade rating. However you still request acceptance in the universities or colleges, if they accepted these people why are they shooting themselves will wrong words why are they putting both her feet in their mouth and rejecting the University or college that they have chosen. If I remember the college or university does not seek them out, so just turn them loose, give them back their money and say thank you.
My response would have been deafening silence.
