I should've posted this on the OT. Because the only black member of the board of trustees is leaving.

:racist:

I don't really give a shite if it gets Clowney to commit to us.

However, the whole story seems pretty dumb. I didn't get very far in before I couldn't read any more.

The trustee in question (the only black one)resigned before pleading guilty to bank fraud.
How did this manage to slip the minds of the black caucus ? So sick of the bs.

Pointing out factual evidence that a minority did something wrong is racist, don't you know that?

She replaced the person that committed fraud.

I find it odd that not only did football somehow get caught up in all of this, but that the players being urged to "de-commit" have already signed LOIs.

I don't think Clowney and others should go to South Carolina either.

I know stuff like this allows some of you to sleep better at night but the fact is. is that racism does exsist. Alot of times right before I very eyes. Even if you cant identify it doesnt mean that isnt there.

This is clearly a situation of stupidity. Not racism. But truth be told everyone is alittle racist.

I absolutely agree. But this is the type of stuff that proves the me that the race card is used FAR too much.

The reasoning behind all this is just stupid. I don't see how the people, or the reporter that wrote this, thinks this is even newsworthy.

You hit the nail on the head buddy. In this day and age we now have more racism directed towards whites and it is actually allowed becuase the minorties play up to the whites who still feel sorry for them. Until we really look at each other as equals and quit making special laws and rules then there will never be true equality.

Two (seemingly) literate people reading that sentence the same way gives one pause, don't you think?

Those urging the players to decomit know damn well it's not going to happen. They just know if they throw it out there the press will pick it up and make a big deal out of it so they get the publicity they are seeking.

I think that shows that the definition of racism has just spun out of control.

THIS! Equal to or moreso in the form of reverse racism.

I think people have a problem when people stand up for themselves. Blacks are underepresented on that board and they took a stand. They are trying to hit them where they will feel it.(football). There is no reason at all there should be an all white board when almost 30% of the population is black. I really don't see the problem with them boycotting.

About 11 percent of the university's student body is black, according to South Carolina's largest newspaper

I'm glad you approve of taking cheap shots whenever you don't like how things are going.

shite like this only supports racism, it does nothing to deter it.
