Those campus protests at Mizzou discussed

There appears to be a theme at American Thinker today, and none of it humorous

White Racism at Mizzou and Berkeley: Racial Hoaxes of the Week
. . . "The racism on campus may have been a hoax. But like Columbia, violent crime in Berkeley is not:  and yes, it is a black thing there too. Often directed at their Asian students with their sweet, sweet phones and laptops.
Just a few months ago, while protesting police brutality against a New York sidewalk illegal cigarette merchant, a white man was attacked by a black mob. They fractured his skull with a hammer -- despite the fact that he was on their side.

Mizzou media professor tries to ban press from covering protests
. . . "As chilling as all this is, it's probably going to get worse. The protesters have tasted power and have developed quite an appetite. They are now calling for the resignation of the Chancellor of all Missouri state universities. Hopefully R. Bowen Loftin is made of sterner stuff than former president Wolfe.

Mizzou and the Hillary campaign
" . . .Keep in mind that both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have met with leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement.  Is it a coincidence that a few incidents in which nothing much really happened have now exploded into a national airing of racial grievances and apparent confessions of guilt via resignations?

"Remember how Occupy Wall Street, an AstroTurf movement supported by tons of MSM coverage, took place to frame the Romney campaign as out of touch and uncaring.  This is just the same tactic, translated to new circumstances."

Vocal fry: why some women talk the way they do

The Valley Girl Speech Pattern Meets The 21st Century
"If you’ve ever watched reality tv, then you are probably familiar with the concept of vocal fry. It’s a popular method of speaking where words are drawn out with a low, grungy twinge. Many find the sound of vocal fry annoying, but are there more serious consequences? Faith Sallie investigated and found that the use of vocal fry is a lot more prevalent than previously thought, especially among college-aged girls. It was also found to be dangerous to the long-term health of your vocal chords. Some medical experts even classify it as a disorder. So next time you want to emulate a Kardashian in your everyday life, stop and think before you talk."
