Student op-ed: Tailgates at Ole Miss football games are biased against minorities
College Fix ^ | September 6, 2017 | Staff

If it’s fall in Mississippi, it’s football season. That means it’s time to tailgate: an opportunity to grill food, drink beer and spend time with friends before the big game. And apparently an opportunity to increase racial tensions too, according to a University of Mississippi student.

In an op-ed published in The Daily Mississippian, Ole Miss senior Francisco Hernandez bemoans that tailgates at his university are perpetuating racial oppression because of the presence of the Mississippi state flag.

“...tailgates at his university are perpetuating racial oppression because of the presence of the Mississippi state flag”

Now we’re going to be tearing down STATE flags.

Oh, the oppression. It’s everywhere. /s

Bias is not a bad-word. It means preference, nothing more. It’s not good to be biased in an objective investigation, one is biased against bias in that case. Otherwise it’s a basic function of live down to one-celled animals, attraction vs. aversion.

And since he’s from Spain he’s not actually a minority - he’s a White European. I think he’s just mad that there’s no tailgating in soccer.

Oh…it’s just another snowflake hissy-fit over a flag. At least the White Mississippi football fans aren’t being asked to invite Blacks to their tailgating parties. That would be rather unpopular. Rather.

I bet he’s never been to a tailgate. If he did, he’d find himself welcome, and then he wouldn’t be able to write stuff like this.

Or, maybe he has, and was found to not be welcomed. Not because he's a "minority," but because he's a dick.

It always cracks me up when people say things like, “That’s discrimination!”

I say, “So. I am in IT. Most of what computers do is discriminate. Whenever you make a choice you are discriminating. Discrimination is 90% of what both brains and computers do. Quit referring to it as though it is a bad thing. It is a good thing. Maybe of more people discriminated a little better there would be less divorce.”

In keeping with a seemingly popular national trend just give minorities their own sections for tailgating

I’m fairly certain that the term ‘tail-gating’ is somehow offensive to sodomites.

This perpetual state of unhinged grievance on college campuses nationwide is creating a hostile environment for rational people.

I never enjoyed tailgating. Too many vehicles parked too close together. Then there’s the young punks throwing the football. Rich food consumed too early in the day an hour b4 kickoff. For big bucks($80) an RV area was available-an excuse to use them. A lot of those people didn’t even go into the stadium. Enjoyed listening to the crowd. My reaction to all that is the same as the Burning Man Festival: “Oh What a Country!”

Isn’t Spain like a devolved version of Mexico or something?

Black Power A Done Deal

Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed

"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive,
most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics."

"Yet they do.

Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do.

Their power seems without limit.

Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set
to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces.

Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified,
where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them.

Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions

Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting?
The laws must go.

Do blacks not like Confederate flags?
Adieu, flags.

Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus?
These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them.

Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States?
We cannot. - It would offend blacks.

We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does.
It is positively astonishing.
One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."

And it never dawned on her that blaming an entire group, people, religion for the sins of some, tends to end badly.

Instead of listening to her elders and history she was attempting to use the race card. Somehow, Jews are no longer "White" - a light skinned, redheaded man went along with it and is now "non White".

unless of course, they are "zionists" -which I don't know how that is surmised but I definitely don't like where this is headed.
