A Georgia Southern University student became Public Enemy Number One with Black Lives Matter supporters for daring to say “all lives matter.”
Senior Emily Faz found herself in the crosshairs of race activists after criticizing the tactics of students at the University of Missouri and Black Lives Matter in general. She allegedly lost her job after activists bombarded her employer with phone calls, the Washington Times reported Thursday.
“I swear if I see this B.S. at Southern I will make you regret even knowing what a movement or a hashtag is, and you’ll walk away with your tail tucked,” Paz wrote on her Facebook page Tuesday, WJCL-22 ABC reported. “The whole black lives matter movement is misguided and out of hand. Maybe no one likes or takes y’all seriously because no one can see past your egotistical bulls–t. Some people might just look past it, but fair warning I am not one. All lives matter, that has always been the case, and you part of the problem if you think other wise [sic].”

Faz’s name was soon turned into the hashtag #EmilyFaz so activists could plan out some form of retribution.
“We gotta find this Emil [sic] Faz,” on Twitter user tweeted.
“Somebody should’ve warned this #EmilyFaz chick … don’t come for Black GSU unless we send for you,” another said.
“Wanna have a word with the manager at Wild Wings Cafe about Emily Faz, here you go (912) 681-9453,” a third user added.

Paz was fired from her job at a local Wild Wings Cafe shortly afterward, Everything Georgia reported Wednesday. Activists who targeted the student also mocked her for allegedly receiving police escorts.
“#EmilyFaz getting police escorts for being RACIST and black people got 0 positive attention from cops at mizzou #whiteprivilege,” someone tweeted, the Washington Times reported.
Colin Flaherty, author of “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It,” spoke to WND on Thursday about Faz’s treatment.
“I have long since stopped condemning the bigots who intimidate with violence and harassment those who disagree with them. Especially on college campuses,” said Flaherty. “The real question is, ‘Why don’t the adults on campus stand up to them?’ Stop them. Protect free speech.”
Flaherty said faculty and staff are essentially “teaching their students that using violence and threats to suppress free speech is just fine because it is a rational reaction of 400 years of slavery and racism that still exists today. Usually subconsciously. Free speech is nothing more than white privilege that must be condemned and rooted out. To say college teachers and administrators are ignoring it is not correct. They are encouraging it.”
GSU Dean of Students Patrice Jackson would not specifically address Faz’s situation with WJCL. She did say students have a right to express themselves. Her caveat: It had to be done respectfully.
“Our first value is voices, so that means every voice has the right to be heard,” Jackson said.

NAACP 2nd Vice President Jamar Boyd told the network that a walkout by GSU’s black students on Tuesday was not solely motivated by Faz’s Facebook post.
