Here is a collage I made, showing the staff member at UF dealing with students of all races who are showboating on stage. The more elaborate the celebration, the more firmly he deals with the students. This is not a case of racism, folks. Sorry.

Inconveniently, the entire ceremony was filmed and we see the white faculty member hustled along students of all races who wasted time with dumbass dances. But the media desperately has to fan the flames of racism and white devils with trash like this.


NBC News
quote:

Black University of Florida students celebrating their graduation on Saturday by dancing across the commencement stage, or striking poses in a tradition known as "strolling," were manhandled by a university marshal who was trying to rush them along, students said Monday. Dozens of videos quickly surfaced on social media after Saturday's graduation ceremony showing a man in University of Florida academic garb shoving graduating black students toward the other side of the stage



CNN

A student's biggest dream is to walk across the stage during their school's commencement ceremony; getting rushed off the stage is not. This was the case for a number of African-American students at the University of Florida's ceremony on Saturday.


WaPo

ust over 6 percent of the student population at the University of Florida identify as black or African American, according to Forbes. But 100 percent of the students being bodily removed in the worst videos were black, including Senior.

We might have to send for a welfare check to TJGaytors house. This might be more than he can handle.

Interesting to note that the single graduate who got a bit of a “shove” was actively struggling against the initially-gentle “arm around the shoulder” approach.

Nothing is ever wrong with a racism claim

If a claimer of color says it's racism, it's racism

one of my best friends immediately preceded me in alphabetical order (thanks to four years of seating charts) in the same major. She waited for me at the edge of the stage, and we did a high-five. I have zero doubt that the Dean (who we both knew well from student government) would have slapped both of us upside the head, if we had done the same in the middle of the stage.

Yet the article said they were dancing across the stage. How can people lambasting this marshall not understand this? He was doing exactly what he was suppose to.

Frankly, the white kids in the video are an embarrassment too.

Unfortunately for the rules followers, those who respect with dignity the achievement, walking on stage and being recognized as your name is called will soon be a thing of the past.

Final Solution: Just call the names and mail the diploma.

My niece is graduating this month from HS. Her ceremony is at 8am on Saturday all the way across the metroplex from the school. Intentionally to eliminate rowdiness and miscreants from attending.

Mashup videos are tools of white privilege and colonialism.

Seriously, this is the first time the graduating students can give the finger to "The Man." LOL They are touchable, except for the hands on them. They are OUTA HERE!!

Such racism from The University of Florida. If I was a highly rated African-American football player with even an ounce of self-respect I would never attend such a place.
