Ole Miss kicked my butt and they're still celebrating. Because every black that's gone there since me has been insulted, humiliated, and they can't even tell their story. Everybody has to tell James Meredith's story — which is a lie. The powers that be in Mississippi understand this very clearly. See, I've been telling them for fifty years how insulting it is to me to suggest that I had to be courageous to confront some ignorant white folks. And recently, they told me they really understand, but they're gonna keep doing it. I can't figure a way to make 'em stop. They're gonna keep on doin' it because it makes it impossible for the blacks there now to say anything about what's happened to them. Because the comparison is with the idol.

These sentiments may be conservative. I'm not really sure.

What I am clear on is that they're incoherent.

Has every black that's gone to Ole Miss in the last 60 years really be insulted and degraded?

I don’t think Michael Oher falls into that category

Sounds like they might have had to "confront some ignorant white folks". It's possible they'd be insulted to have it suggested that took any particular courage, so they may not be all that concerned with not getting to "tell their story" about it.

I don’t know if Mississippi has white racists insulting Blacks on campus. I doubt that. Lawsuits.

I know that every college campus has a whole new doctrine of race hate - diversity - insulting and dehumanizing the white race. I know white children are being racially attacked by diversity racists and no one cares just like they did not care when James Meredith was in school.

Racism is alive and well thanks to liberals.
