The retreat was cut short Saturday night, however, after three black students found a banana peel in a tree in front of one of the camp’s cabins.


They better never go to Guatemala or they will be horrified at all the banana peels in trees there

The guy who put the peel in the tree to avoid just throwing it in the ground. It is just a banana peel, but he probably was trying to follow rules to keep from attracting unwanted critters by the cabins.

That's not at all how the "Food Hacks" video on FB showed me how to do it.

You're not paying for friends. You're paying to not have to hang out with losers.



Also an FYI:
quote:

The students shared what they found with National Pan-Hellenic Council leaders

Student members of Panhellenic Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Interfraternity Council were all present at the retreat


National Pan-Hellenic Council = Black fraternities and sororities

National Panhellenic Conference = Traditional (white) sororities

National Interfraternity Conference = Traditional (white) fraternities

Looks like one of the black fraternities saw a banana peel and freaked out. Has nothing to do with traditional Ole Miss fraternities/sororities.

As I was in the athletics circle, I wasn't a Greek. But, I did enjoy parties I was invited to and, let's be honest, the Greek culture adds a mystique to big universities.

Not to sound racist or anything, but a bunch of black guys going camping?

That's ... ... unusual.

This is no different than claiming "evolution" is a thing that exists. The notion that any person (white, black, Chinese, Jewish) came from a monkey in the underlying cause of this issue here.

When are we going to just stop sending our kids to Universities and just get them trained by other means.

The stranglehold universities have on the public needs to come to an end and there needs to be other means to educate people for the workforce. Universities have become nothing more than politically correct propaganda machines that do nothing for student in the real world.
