Girl Freaks Out In Evolutionary Course, Assaults Student and Professor

[renegade7]

Meh, college can push people over the edge. If she were a religious fundamentalist flipping shit because she didn't believe in evolution, would have been much more entertaining.

But yeah, people do sometimes just completely lose it in college (for instance, many who will later be diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia first display symptoms in their freshman year, usually due to stress) and it's not always funny.

But this was pretty damn funny regardless.

I remember this one hispanic fellow going completely ape shit in class when we started on evolution. I lived in a pretty rough area though so the dude was on the floor in seconds haha. Poor girl, if she really just snapped and this really has nothing to do with the actual discussion she should get some help then.

I think a lot of you are missing the point. It doesn't sound like she was a strict creationist or a racist. It sounds more like she has a persecution complex agitated by some black liberation theology. When an evolution teacher said "natural selection" or "sexual selection" she connected that to the fact that a lot of Africans and black people are in and have for a long time been in dire straits all over the world, and in her mind it seemed nature itself must have put them there.

A misinterpretation coupled with an intense sense of inferiority.

Sounds like she had a deeply religious upbringing. Only they can come up with batshit like that to try and discredit evolution.

People fear what they don't understand and they hate what they fear.
Sadly the vid is no longer up

*facepalm* Just another reason people are gonna think Florida is filled with crazy people.
Poor girl had a breakdown.

Wait, you mean Florida contains sane people? When did this happen?

 

[nuba km]

What the flying fucknuggets just happened? I don't even understand what her question was.

I am so adding fucknuggets to my curse word vocabulary.

OT: How could you think evolution could kill people?

 

[McMullen]

Stress in college is normal, but so is dealing with it. I had a heavy course load and so did many of the people I knew, and never heard of anything like this during my time in college. There's more going on here than stress.

I hope she gets removed from the college and sent somewhere where she can't harm anyone, and hopefully gets help for her condition.

Ahhh stupid....

The only thing that duct-tape cannot fix!

Ahhh stupid....

Really? I beg to differ.

 

[dragonswarrior]

This just made me sad.

Sad that she freaked out like this, and then just continued being stupid. Sad that life lets it happen. Tcha.

 

[EHKOS]

It seems according to OP's comment about Trayvon that she's a bit upset about how many black people die to violence. Lord help us if she ever finds out about what goes on up here in Flint MI.
I feel bad for her, college can be stressful and I suppose she just lost it. I really can't bring myself to say she doesn't deserve a second chance.

 

[Wintermoot]

wait what? please tell me she has a history of mental illness or something.

Yes, but a lot of creationists or people who are just anti-evolution, anti-science claim evolution is an ideology based on killing people and white people being superior. I have actually been asked several times if I believe white people are superior because I think white humans come from black ancestors and accused of racism for defending evolutionary theory.
Even many people who aren't against evolution but don't really understand it think it's a process towards 'better' things, so if you say that white people evolved from black people, they take it to mean you think white people are superior.

As opposed to the skin colour being an adaptation of the amount of sunlight, which is the scientific view.

OT: How could you think evolution could kill people?

It seems a lot of people who don't understand evolutionary theory think it's about a force with a mind that's having a plan and changing things to better.

 

[Boba Frag]

What was the class discussing exactly?

First off, that is one seriously messed up woman...
I'm amazed it took her lecturer that long to react and get her removed.

Can't blame the guy behind her for packing his things and shagging off

It's days like these when I develop an impenetrable smug cloud.

1) Education in the US.

2) Faith in humanity

3) ARE YOU SERIOUS? THIS HAPPENS? WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?

I agree, but she didn't seem to think it was an ideology so much as a mechanism that favored some over others on seemingly arbitrary grounds. I think that's more what you're trying to say, as opposed to it being an ethos or sentient force. Either way her breakdown probably has more to do with stress and psychosis than ignorant rage over a belief.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

Wait... did she just try to blame evolution for racism? How is that supposed to work?

It's meant to work because she's shouting. DOES THE SHOUTING NOT CONVINCE YOU? LOUD NOISES!

I found it difficult to understand what she was yelling about. So, she wasn't disagreeing that evolution happens, she thought it was being unfair to black people?
