Students Walk Out on Jerry Seinfeld's Duke Commencement Speech [View all] Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin May 12 OP

Don't know the context or tone of what he said bucolic_frolic May 12 #1

I believe they walked out before he started speaking. LiberalFighter May 12 #4

Yeah I didn't read a connection between his point and those walking out bucolic_frolic May 12 #6

He said that privilege (like being a Duke graduate) these days seems to be the worst thing betsuni May 12 #8

Good stand up comedian and no trash or vulgar crap in his performances. demosincebirth May 12 #13

A slew walked out? Other reports were dozens. LiberalFighter May 12 #2

A slew is an indefinite number. If it's Donnie, then 1 slew 100,000 people. For others it could be dozens. Wonder Why May 12 #9

"Slew"-- backfiring optics Bad Thoughts May 13 #49

It's a protest about nothing. Seinfeld has nothing to do with it. betsuni May 12 #3

Rebels without a clue? Emoprogs? Delayed teenage angst? Oopsie Daisy May 13 #39

Seinfeld emphasized the importance of a sense of humor, which is apparently right-wing now. betsuni May 13 #40

Sigh. Oopsie Daisy May 13 #43

Yes. betsuni May 13 #44

Yikes.. This does not bode well for other commencements to go smoothly--including Biden's hlthe2b May 12 #5

I don't think Biden will have the same issue. LiberalFighter May 12 #7

I wish that you were right, but I am certain that wnylib May 12 #16

At Morehouse College? West Point? LiberalFighter May 12 #19

Protesters show up anywhere that they can get attention. wnylib May 12 #24

He'll be OK at West Point. The military disciplines protesters. It's considered insubordination. LeftInTX May 13 #37

West Point. They will not get up to leave. No way! jimfields33 May 13 #57

Biden will be fine Dorian Gray May 13 #55

The commencement went smoothly Dorian Gray May 13 #54

Now the "Free Palestine" Hamas-lovers are fucking protesting Jews and anyone sympathetic to Jews. Sick shit. SoFlaBro May 12 #10

They hate Jews more than they love Palestinians. wnylib May 12 #18

+100000000000 betsuni May 12 #21

Israelis have said that when Hamas loves their children more than they hate Israel, the fucking conflict will end. SoFlaBro May 13 #62

Post removed Post removed May 13 #36

Name another conflict apparently showcasing these tactics in which you are interested and sympathetic to. SoFlaBro May 13 #38

"Why, because he's Jewish?" NO, BECAUSE HIS WIFE FUNDS PRO-ISRAEL STATE COUNTERPROTESTORS AND THE TWO OF THEM WhiskeyGrinder May 12 #11

Don't interrupt OP's speculations Prairie Gates May 12 #22

Yes, the students have their right to their opinion by walking out. mucifer May 12 #28

Yeah, the Seinfeld's are awful. Sky Jewels May 13 #35

Why are they awful? betsuni May 13 #51

Did you not read post 11 that started this subthread? Cuthbert Allgood May 13 #66

Gee, I wonder what their problem with Jerry Seinfeld is.... Mountainguy May 12 #12

well...that really was reprehensible... bahboo May 12 #15

Maybe there was a hair in it. BigmanPigman May 12 #23

It was the Marble Rye, not the Babka. And he didn't beat her up... JoseBalow May 12 #25

Oops Mountainguy May 12 #29

Why? Patton French May 12 #14

Because he is a Jew debm55 May 12 #30

No, it's because he has been a very vocal supporter Sky Jewels May 13 #32

A Jewish person supporting Israel. Well that's unusual. /sarc. jimfields33 May 13 #58

Do they support the fascist right-wing bent of the current government? Cuthbert Allgood May 13 #67

Apparently NT Patton French May 13 #70

No they walked out because they hate Jews BannonsLiver May 13 #52

I would assume they hate Seinfeld supporting right-wing asshole fascists. Cuthbert Allgood May 13 #68

So it seems. NT Patton French May 13 #71

Very few walked out. former9thward May 12 #17

Wonder how long this will go on for. FrenchCitizen May 12 #20

Jerry Seinfeld has turned into Sky Jewels May 13 #33

How does he "punch down"? How is he "right wing"? Any examples? betsuni May 13 #34

How many people usually make a production of walking out at a commencement speech? betsuni May 13 #42

Even so Sympthsical May 13 #46

Does seem to be a sociology majors tantrum in the middle of the toy aisle thing. betsuni May 13 #47

As someone with a history degree Sympthsical May 13 #48
