PLEASE NOTE: The A&M President did NOT support Curry - so the article lied about that. Also, the original context of Prof. Curry's supposed statement that 'some whites must die' shows that is NOTa comment or position of Prof Curry- but is looking at HISTORICAL (recent history) statements and positions that have been taken- and should be (rightfully, imo) examined.
First: President Young's FULL STATEMENT on 10 May, 2017
From KBTX:
The following statement was released Wednesday evening from President Young:
May 10, 2017
I am writing you tonight with a message that may seem ill-timed given our wonderful graduation ceremonies taking place this week. At the same time, this is a message about Aggies and that for which we stand. As such, I cannot think of a more appropriate time in many ways to write to you in this regard.
As you may know, a podcast interview by one of our professors that took place approximately four and a half years ago resurfaced this week on social media, seen for the first time by many of us. The interview features disturbing comments about race and violence that stand in stark contrast to Aggie core values most notably those of respect, excellence, leadership and integrity values that we hold true toward all of humanity.
As we know, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the rights of others to offer their personal views, no matter how reprehensible those views may be. It also protects our right to freedom of speech which I am exercising now.
We stand for equality.
We stand against the advocacy of violence, hate, and killing.
We firmly commit to the success, not the destruction, of each other.
We wish no violence or harm even to those who espouse hateful views under the First Amendment, a sentiment that by its very nature is one that they would deny others.
Tonight, therefore, I write to you, our beloved Aggies. Our core values are very much intact, including those for which we stand, and in contrast to that for which we most assuredly do not. This is something that needs to be said here and now and lived in all of our days.
Sincerely,
Michael K. Young
Second: Professor Curry's ACTUAL WORDS - in context
In a recently uncovered interview from 2012, titled "Dr. Tommy Curry on killing whites," Curry said many black people like Nat Turner and Robert F. Williams "thought about killing white people as self-defense" and this "tradition" is still very "relevant."
"When we have this conversation about violence, or killing white people, it has to be looked at in the context of historical turn," he says(prof curry). "And the fact that we've had no one address, like how relevant and how solidified this kind of tradition is, for black people saying look, in order to be equal, in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die."
Both of above from: http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=56730
Note that Prof Curry is absolutely correct in stating that this really is stuff that has been said, and should be looked at - HARD. We, on this board, have NOT ignored those kinds of statements, and we HAVE addressed them - and condemned them.
Well - have listened to his own words - "My argument is ..." - ergo, that IS the position that he holds. Asking 'what do you think of that' does NOT elevate it to the level of 'scholarly debate'.
My complaint with Support Aggies is that they are using clips, very short in length. PUT UP THE WHOLE RECORDING - not just a selected clip.

Another clip- VERY UNCONVINCING - due to the very limited and HIGHLY selective 'time span' of the clip.

VERDICT STILL OUT ... I believe this qualifies as non-news, and my original statements about biased reporting and selective quotes not telling the truth were and are very much in order.
VERDICT STILL OUT.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good ...
