I didn't address anything in regards to demands. I simply asked why the OT is so quick to disregard what is going on. Should the president resign? Hell no, but there is a problem here and they just want it addressed instead of pushed under the rug just like its being done on here.



What is the problem? A couple of random people (maybe students) perhaps made racist statements to a couple of other students?

Is this some epidemic that was hidden?

My concern is that growing social media will cause hasty and extreme actions, all the while people don't fully understand the story. I'm surprised by how fast this went.

The Yale story is equally bizarre.

I can't for Tom Rinalidi to do a heart warming special on their courage.

This resignation sets a dangerous precedent.

The coming weeks will be interesting.

Because most of the OT is white if I had to assume. And we get tired of hearing all of these BS racism stories and other related shite, knowing good and well black on white racism is just as prevalent. But no news is EVER made out of that. And white students sure aren't going around calling for the heads of black people in positions of power over some senseless crap like this. Not that it would ever be allowed to happen anyway.

ETA: I am so frickING sick of the double standards demonstrated in our society.

This is so stupid I guess in hind site the president should have displayed the rediculouness of the situation by making rules after each incident

1.. No yelling racial slurs from moving vehicles
2. No drawing of NAZI symbols on walls with feces.

Read the stories. More events occurred in the time period.


Oh I forgot the poop swastika. The stories relied on by the protesters are examples of people being arse holes. No amount of diversity seminars will change the thinking of someone who took the time to shite and draw with it.

It does seem that the president was some what tone deaf to this and could have avoided all this with some better PR advice.

Also there is no way the football team does this if they are undefeated or in the hunt for the east title.

Of course he did.

Our country has decided to overcompensate minorities homosexuals trannies etc by kissing their arse for every little glitch.

It's pathetic

MIZZOU is officially a merchandise deadzone. What fan would want to wear a Mizzou shirt in public now. Contrary to popular belief this will impact their recruiting and it very negatively.

Has he publicly apologized for his white privilege?

I find it sad he lost his job over something he had nothing to do with.

I meant with the names. Why do blacks with those names get treated well?
