So while the madness in Ferguson was going down last night residents of Worcester carpetbagging privileged white kids from Clark marched down to City Hall to demand that our government…….do…….something, I guess. Not sure what exactly, but everyone else is protesting so Worcester had to throw a bootleg protest together too. We’ll figure out what the plan is later. Here’s some images of the most epic protest since Selma:

The only thing whiter than the Ferguson Police Department was the crowd of social warriors in front of City Hall last night.

Hey I have an idea, lets march through the poorest part of Worcester and keep the people who live there up all night. Sure they have to work tomorrow and we’ll probably just walk out of our 1:00 PM sociology classes in “protest,” but who gives a shit about them right? Oh yea, and cops are evil racists. Well, except when they phyiscally escort us through the heart of Main South at 1 in the morning. Then we like them.
And thank God the tens of thousands of dollars these kids spend on tuition DOESN’T go to the city of Worcester for taxes. Because they NEVER use city services like 1 AM police escorts to and from their dorm room. But these kids are fighting for something you and I know very little about, so they deserve this free ride. Because a bunch of white kids from New Jersey obviously know more about racism than you do. They even saw The Help when it was out in theaters.
Luckily on the Clark University Student Walkout Facebook page they’ve realized this irony and made it clear that they’re gonna hit up some new neighborhoods tonight:
“Take this fight where the lawns are better kept, where reality has gone undisturbed for too long. Dont allow yourself to go to bed tonight with a feeling of job well done.”
Oh joy, I’m gonna have hippies messing up my lawn, and I just raked it!!
Here was my favorite comment from the Facebook page:
Courtney should I like e-mail my professor or something…..???
Like, I wanna really like, stick it to to the man. Down with authority. But first, let me email my professor to make sure it’s OK that I skip his class. Actually, who am I kidding, my professor is probably organizing the walk out to begin with.
And OF COURSE they were led by my girl, the honorable professor Sonya Conner:
Because if that isn’t the face of someone who knows what it’s like to be victimized by racist white cops then I don’t know what is. And she definitely knows a lot about how racist Worcester police are. After all, she’s lived here for like, two years now and she teaches at Worcester State!! Some of you might be calling her a carpetbagger since she just moved here from Oklahonma, but you are wrong – she’s making a real difference!! She’s made it perfectly clear – either you’re for black people or you’re against them. If you believe in due process for a white police officer then you OBVIOUSLY hate black people.
She makes a good point though. “It’s not up to black people to do all the work.” White people can make a REAL difference right here in Worcester by holding a rally at City Hall while everyone who has to work tomorrow is sleeping.
Here’s a comment from the 100% accurate Rate My Professor page for Sonya Conner:
Dr Conner is a good person and passionate about what she teaches. However, she assigns a ton of work and never grades most of it til the very end of the semester. This is frustrating! If a teacher is going to assign work they should be required to grade it promptly, that way students can know how they are doing throughout the semester.
Hey kid, calm down. You’ll get your paper back when you get it. Dr. Conner obviously will get around to doing that, but right now she’s busy fixing racial problems in Worcester. What do you think is more important in the grand scheme of things?
Oh yea and remember Occupy Worcester? I remember when Occupy was all the rage. Then it got cold and someone Googled Joseph Kony, so everyone forgot all about it. Well, they’re back baby!!! And they’ll be in Lincoln Square today doing……something, I guess.
Yea, stick it to the man!! And what better way to do that than to skip your 1 PM class the day before Thanksgiving break. Because EVERYONE goes to class the day before Thanksgiving break. First we’ll go to Lincoln Square, hold signs, and further congest the clusterfuck that is the most aggravating intersection in the City of Worcester. That’ll show Darren Wilson!! Then we’ll probably get hungry, so we’ll go over to Boomers for some Rockin’ Moroccans!!! After that we’ll take some gigantic Clark dumps and march back over to City Hall for round two of changing the world!!
Finally I saw this quote from one of the Worcester warriors on Masslive.com: “this could have happened to my son.”
That’s the line I keep hearing. “This could’ve been my my son.” No. Just no. This could not have been Turtleboy Jr. Because Turtleboy Jr. knows that you’re not supposed to rob convenience stores, get in verbal interactions with police, and then get in a physical altercation that ultimately leads to his demise. But besides that this person is right. Innocent people who mind their own business are always getting killed by racist cops for absolutely no reason.
Anyway, I’m kind of excited to see what goes down here. I’m sure these geniuses are hoping that the police kick the shit out of them so they can be the next victim of police brutality. It’s gonna suck for them when the police do what they always do around here – protect them and keep law and order. Hard to protest that.

I’ll tell you who has the world all figured out – privileged white kids who go to Clark. Here I am all confused about why the world is the way it is when all I had to do was go down to Crystal Park and

you’d love it if someone shit on and threatened your daughter the way you do to other people’s children
And I’m drunk, never learned to type, and still am more credible than Sonya.
Seen, I agree with almost all of what you said, except for # 5. Sonya Conner absolutely and the right to lawfully express her first amendment rights of free speech, most especially on political issues, as theya re the most protected of free speech issue. I just don’t believe that she has the credentials or intellectual gravitas to be anything but ridiculed.
Just Spain’. I’m sure she would agree that anyone has the right to wholly disregard her, correct?
Didn’t see the Clark weirdos out there protesting with fast food workers for 15$ an hour minimum wage . Just saying
The cop agrees with me.

There’s better shows than Grey’s to do that to, good sir
You’re all absolutely right. What was I thinking? So let me just make sure I’ve got this right.
1. There’s no way we could ever be living under a fascist government because we’ve got a black president.
2. I’m over 30 and I apparently just learned about WW2 and how people as a whole are easily misled by what our lying murdering politicians tell us as history has proven time and time again. So therefore, if that we’re true, I’m not allowed to point it out when I see it happening.
3. Since we’re not yet being led out of our houses by douchebag police and shot in the streets that could never EVER happen in the near future if we dont wake the fuck up and look at all our rights being systematically taken from us.
4. I have spent time in fact, LIVED in third world countries well outside the bounds of some country club and don’t see much of a difference in the way police behave here as opposed to say Chile, but what do I know.
5. Because it isn’t likely that Sonya Conner was ever the victim of any racist crimes at the hands of police, she has absolutely no right to call out bullshit when she sees it.
6. Grand juries spend MONTHS examining RAW FACTS and EVIDENCE to come to a fair decision on how to deal with overprotected government-funded nazi gang members when they shoot an unarmed man with his hands in the air.
7. You’re all super duper smart and i cower at the blinding light that is your collective intelligence.
8. Turtleboy isn’t racist because he’s only picking on ‘white people’ this time.
Now that all of that nonsense is settled we can all crawl back into bed and masturbate to grey’s fucking anatomy and feel better about ourselves and the decisions we let others make for us. Fuck all of you.
Shouldn’t you retards be huddling outside a walmart right now?
What ever happened to that whole thing where you were shut down for a few weeks and accused of being a teacher? I’m legitimately curious, not being a dick.
We’ve been meaning to write about that. Basically the teacher is a buddy of ours. He was at the Buffalo game with us and was blamed for writing the article, just as a couple of other people were. I personally could never be a teacher. We shut down the site for a week or so out of respect for him and his family.
Bad time for him, I’ve heard. Truly, for the local Worcester, and Blackstone Valley followers, we’d like to hear your side, if he himself doesn’t care. Name withheld for his privacy.
This is not an accurate representation of many of the residents of Worcester County. I was born and bred in Worcester, MA. We are in Worceter City Hall being heard by the city council. Protests lead to being heard. I’m sorry turtleboy but you don’t represent me.
and here we see the sheep being led by the blind sheep dog. Pay attention to the real issue here. Race is not the issue, this is a copier media outlets can use to start a race fueled tension amongst the nation in order to herd the general concencous of people in the unpopular vote into the valley the puppet master so whiches you walk in
Way to write a long winded snooty article that looks down on people trying to make a difference for the better. Don’t see you doing much of anything except spewing verbal diarrhea all over the screens of unsuspecting viewers. And i don’t think it’s required of you to be any ethnicity other than ‘white’ to be aware of all the racist bullshit going on in this country you racist piece of garbage. Pull your long-since pruned head out of the gaping asshole of our nazi government and take a look around. You are the exact same type of person that looked the other way when the the third reich was marching all over europe. You are dumb, and you should have your fingers removed so nobody ever has to accidentally stumble across any ill-composed thoughts you “think” should be shared with your fellow humans. Kindly shut up.
“Pull your long-since pruned head out of the gaping asshole of our nazi government”
With it’s Black Fuhrer?
*its
Wow. Just fucking wow. Nazi government. Differences between our government and fascism aside, have ever been to another country? I mean REALLY been. Not sipping mojitos on the private beach of Club Med while some kid makes $2 an hour to bring you lotion and move your umbrella around. Didn’t think so. Go spend a week outside Belgrade. Go spend a fucking day in Ghana or Sierra Leone. We have it pretty good here. Our government is full of dumb idiots, but we aren’t being offed in mass amounts because of our ethnic backgrounds. We aren’t driven from our homes because of a religious disagreement. Calling our government “Nazis” is stupidity on the highest level. Quit using Facebook buzz words and think for yourself you fucking swamp donkey.
You’re an idiot. I’m sure you feel very special because you just learned about World War II in your Intro to World History course, but you can’t begin to try and prove your point and then follow it up with accusing someone of being racist with no evidence whatsoever. And because you’ve proclaimed this person is a racist he must therefore also be an advocate for Nazism? Right? Wrong. Your post is incredibly ignorant and at no point do you address the fact that the people “trying to make a difference for the better” are college students who, along with everyone else in this country, have far less knowledge as to what actually happened in this case than the Grand Jury who’s been examining the raw facts and evidence for months. Your post loses all legitimacy the moment you decided to call the author a racist. Maybe you should learn to respond to posts you dislike with objective information, then tie it in with some emotion, before you go calling people racists and Nazis. Boom roasted.
Sounds like somebody is mad they didnt get a college education
You dissing UMass?
I’d love to see an “ask a pink hat ” or “JayWalking” type episode. See how many of these so called “protestors” even know what they are protesting.
Part of me even wishes Officer Wilson was indicted to see if people still rioted (id be willing to bet they would) however Officer Wilson doesn’t deserve anymore bullshit then he’s already been through.
