I still don't see how what she said was racist. There were several words I expected to hear, black people wasn't one of them.

Sounded like a kid pulled his dick out before the filming.
"Goober that was coming through with his little thing"

Calling black people "black people" is racist these days. They are African Americans. And they have a cute little celebratory month. And a cute tv station all to themselves. And "historically black colleges". And goddamnit if you're born white, you're born racist you devil!

I watched the entire video and didn't see anything odd. Where were the racist comments everyone is talking about?

A goober is a white person.
So that makes this lady equal opportunity racist.

Why even mention black people? I saw only white people leaving at that point?

Blacks and whites were leaving, but she singled out the black people.

I think people need to stop constantly looking for a reason to be offended.

Exactly, at the 40 second mark I see the first people leaving and it was a white family

Its clearly racist. You don't have to use the 'N" word for a statement to be racist. The context of her dialogue is blatantly stating that { of course all the blacks are leaving..thats what they do}.... when in fact it was a white couple that originally had words with her and walked out.
Im sure she had a couple drinks before her big day talking in front of all those people... and shite hit the fan for her.

Are you trying to say all white people are alcoholics?

This was poor crowd control 101. This was like a comedian/speaker who couldn't handle a heckler or a tough Q and A and does something to lose the audience (boo'd off stage or people walk out).
Her response was disproportionate to the situation. As a few left, she became angry and defiant which in turn caused more to leave. She kept ratcheting it up and eventually clears out the room - (Graduation is unoffically over!
).
All she had to do was announce a mistake in the program and for everyone to be courteous to the skipped speaker. Allow about 30 seconds for things to settle down and then hand the kid the mic.

Cause man, that was just weird.

It's not up to the market. It's up to the government.

This isn't a free speech issue. This is a poor business decision issue.
