frickin click bait article if I’ve ever seen one. Yes graduating is special. It’s also special to the other thousands of students graduating. Celebrate with your dance afterwards and be courteous to the THOUSANDS of other students

I had to stop going to the service station on the way to my office because the cashier always asks me if I’m paying credick or debit and one of these days I won’t be able to hold in the laughter.

I have come to hate going to graduations because of this self centered disrespectful behavior from trashy humans.

Yep. If you're black and want to opt out of traditional societal rules, it's a violation for others to be offended or take action.


We talked about this the other day. We’re going to start seeing this more and more.

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.



This is so stupid. IF each student were allowed a brief celebration, say 3 seconds, a group of 3,000 graduating student would add another 2.5 hours to the ceremony. Graduations are long enough without idiots adding another two and a half hours to it.

This will eventually end with the University cancelling the entire ceremony.

I was naked under my gown and quite inebriated at my graduation ceremony after deciding it was a good idea to not go to bed the night before the 8 AM gathering.

But at least I walked the frick off the stage quickly. Waiting for 30 minutes just for all the names to be called is miserable.

We then went and picked up our diplomas from a table with our last name initials - and you hoped your diploma was in the folder and not a note you had unpaid fines.

Have you ever been to a podunk white trash high school graduation?

Just like the other guy, I’d like to be surprised and shocked at this comment, but sadly, I’m not.

That's absurd. They haven't earned the right to double the time of the ceremony.
