Yeah but not at this particularly screechy level of insanity it's been for the better part of the last decade.

This is why leftists will never stop with the nonsense. They get attention and legitimacy.

Are they offended by rice and sugar, because those are crops that were grown with slave labor over 150 years ago?


What about fried chicken, it was a mainstay of plantation food, usually prepared by black servants even long after the end of slavery. They should be boycotting fast food outlets that feature fried chicken, but I am pretty sure it wont happen.

Honest question: Is UCLA still called the UCLANS?

While certainly overblown and a ridiculous reason to be offended, the president had to have known that was a stupid centerpiece idea.


My mother has one on the table right now....

A fruit bowl with bananas, a sugar bowl, all equally poor choices I'm sure. Black outrage is a mental illness.

This reminds me of a joke I heard at least 40 years ago Black comedian Nipsy Russell said he had an uncle who died of a headache. The old man refused to pull the cotton out of the aspirin bottle, saying "Them cotton picking days are over!"


Thanks, man. I just told my 84 year old father that one and he cracked up!

Nice of Fox News Opinion to publicize the plight of this obviously large and representative number of students.

Why are these young people offended a cotton? frick well don't wear any clothes then

And why can a minority be racist to white people and it's acceptable? I've had this conversation and the answer I get, it's just the way it is. It's a cop out that's being reinforced at hbcu's

It's just cotton....these losers are just looking for reasons to cause an uproar. There is no legitimate movement. Just a bunch of "look at me" bullshite.
