Fair point on McCarthy being an end and not a means. I think those speaking out against the OU students are normal US citizens of all backgrounds and all walks of life - there is not a figurehead I would point to as a clear (and, more importantly, deserving) leader right now.
If there has never been action taken against someone at OU until video evidence appeared, I think it's safe to say that OU is not acting without due intelligence. There are confederate flags all over college campuses throughout the US but I have never heard of someone being kicked out of school or even forced to take it down.
The current situation clearly favors the rights of the "silent" racist until an excessive offense has occurred. If you are worried about people being unfairly treated, I just think that it is odd that your campaign is focused on supporting those who have propagated the most unfair treatment throughout american history, and not those who they have attempted to shut out from their institutions, schools, and careers.If you believe that it is an institution's right to not accept people because of their skin color, then surely you can support an institution's right to not accept those who violate their standards of moral behavior.
I've said similar things to this before: I think you are a very smart person Foye, but it seems you always take the most complex stance on issues for the sake of their complexity (and therefore superior logic from your perspective) rather than practicality.
