People used to be to busy to dream this baloney up. ........ Ole Miss students are still reeling from the devastating and traumatic experience. A weekend fraternity retreat at the University of Mississippi ended early on Saturday because a student threw his banana peel away in a tree — and some students who saw it got “frightened” that the peel was a racist attack. According to an article in the Daily Mississippian, three black students told National Pan-Hellenic Council leaders that they had seen a banana peel on a tree and that they were very upset about it. The leaders then shared their concerns with the rest of the camp, and one of the attendees, Ryan Swanson, admitted that he had placed the peel on the tree — explaining that he had actually not done so because he hates people of color and wants to intimidate them, but because he just couldn’t find a garbage can to put it in. But it didn’t end there: In fact, it prompted an entire day of “camp-wide conversation” about the racist “symbolism, intended. ...... Makala McNeil, president of the historically black Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. According to the Daily Mississippian, McNeil said she saw the peel and felt like it “was a slap in the face,” adding that it had made her think about a recent incident at American University. In May, bananas hanging from nooses were discovered on trees on the morning that a student from Alpha Kappa Alpha was set to become the school’s first female black president.

It's amazing someone would claim racist offense. It is more amazing someone would take such a claim seriously. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

You're not actively seeking to be offended. If you were, you would be able to find some utter bullshit and act offended over it. This is why I have been saying for many years now, when someone claims to be offended, we should tell them, "Fuck Off, grow up and start acting like an adult!" Instead, we've been treating their ridiculous claims as being valid and seeking some way to resolve the problem so that they will never be offended again. That has only exasperated the problem. Just yell at them, "Fuck off, you worthless douche bag!" In the schools, in the workplace, and especially in politics. Catering to this incessant and ridiculous bull shit has had the same effect as throwing gasoline on fires. I found what you said riveting. | |||

The administration of the University of Mississippi has been cultivating the snowflake culture for years. Apparently, they have finally reached critical mass. A once great Southern Conservative school is no more. Follow the battle over the state flag if you really want to get your B/P up. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||
