The University of Florida is being accused of racism after a faculty member forcibly yanked several minority students off the stage during their graduation ceremony.




The real story looks to be that several students held up the already long ceremony by stopping on stage to do their dance and had to be escorted off.

Had a black guy do his stupid stomp and yell thing in front of me when I graduated. I was honestly embarrassed for him, he graduated and would have looked like a smart, educated person, and he ruined that by running up there and yelling and jumping around like an idiot

They should have received their diploma and kept walking like every other person.

The little ballerina said it was OK because she had pre-planned her dance to give a shout out to her sorority. Her actions confirm a lack of caring and empathy for the time constraints of the rest of society.

She has chosen not to be a part of the village.

In any huge crowded ceremony like that, people aren’t in the mood for that kind of shite, especially by the end.

I just saw this on the news. Instead of getting their diploma and walking off stage they danced around like fools. The school did nothing wrong yet the school president is kissing black arse.

They speed read the names at college graduations. You have to keep it moving pretty quickly.

Except for the last guy.

I remember the last guy soaked in the moment and got a little extra applause because everyone was glad it was finally over.

It appears you don't understand the cultural differences between yourself and your black brothers and sisters.

I have no issue when a very brief and minor celebration.

That guy was sort of going overboard reacting so quickly to each student. I would let each individual have their brief moment. I feel they earned it. Not everyone is going to act a fool and that's fine too. It should balance itself out.

With that said, it's not racism. That is such a faux cry and simply click bait/viewership material. Not a huge deal. Florida apologized and everyone graduated. The people crying racism over every single thing that goes on are only further dividing. They don't care though as they are often the actual prejudice.

From the UF Presidents statement:

quote:

The practice has been halted for all future ceremonies, and we will work to make sure all graduating students know we are proud of their achievements and celebrate with them their graduation.'


Their graduations are going to take six hours now because they just opened the door for people to do whatever they want.
