It cracks me up when a 20 year old is enlightened and wants to start a “conversation” about race.
Why do they think this has NEVER been tried?
They think they have discovered how to solve everything. They don’t know crap.
Is that what liberal elites call a 'dog whistle'? Is he hinting that somehow he might not like us?
FYI >>>>>
This outrage took place at TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY (LUBBOCK, TEXAS).
It DID NOT occur at TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY (SAN MARCOS, TEXAS).
The writing of this story is an OUTRAGE in every single column, from the beginning, and MISREPRESENTS, in every title, as writers continue to falsely attribute the scandal to the WRONG university with no clarifications in sight, and no sign of halting.
Okay, my error?
The Greg Gutfeld video segment on this student’s column attributed in the video’s title, to TEXAS TECH. Then, I read a column mentioning TEXAS TECH. Now, after tracking down the campus newspaper by name, I see it is Located at Texas State University.
The University Star campus newspaper is published at San Marcus, at TEXAS STATE.
The gaydar just went nuclear. . . .
I believe you’
re confusing another incident that took place at Texas Tech, RitaOK.

A message from The Editorial Board
By The Editorial Board - Nov 30, 2017, 5:06 pm 209 3
Correction, Nov. 30 at 5:28 p.m.: The author of this column has jeopardized the atmosphere of inclusivity at this university and will no longer be published in The University Star.
Dear readers,
We screwed up.
As editors, we allowed a hateful column to be published and hurt our community that deserves better. Texas State is a place where every student should feel safe learning and growing.
This is a student-run independent newspaper that enjoys the full rights and responsibilities of the First Amendment. Our newsroom is a learning space that gives us the ability to grow into our profession. It is a place where we make decisions and live by their consequences. The author of the column has jeopardized the atmosphere of inclusivity at this university. We have taken action and fired the individual.
Since the column’s publication, we have received hate mail and numerous death threats. Additionally, there have been calls for several members of The University Star to resign with individuals threatening to defund the student publication if demands are not met. We have received a lot of constructive feedback that, as students, is invaluable to us.
Texas State is a university that is dedicated to providing opportunities for growth to its students. Student media, such as The Star, provides indispensable experience to take with us beyond our undergraduate careers and into the real world.
We fully acknowledge the repercussions of our actions in allowing for such an incendiary and divisive column to make it into print. We were unequivocally wrong in printing it. It was neither constructive nor appropriate. We failed our readership and damaged Texas State’s profound tradition of inclusivity. Although it will take time and hard work to restore, that tradition is something that we will work tirelessly to uphold and rebuild.
One of our former editors and President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson put it best: “Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.”
Moving forward, we fully intend to win the battle against divisiveness, one that we unfortunately helped fuel. We intend to foster community and a more positive atmosphere on campus through the same platform from which we have been doing so since 1911.
The University Star is here to stay, but not without making necessary changes to ensure that our core values will not be overlooked again. In the following days, we will be developing comprehensive plans to guarantee that the upcoming semesters are guided by truth, transparency and diversity of thought.
In these plans we will create more rigorous guidelines that all content must meet in order to be published, and we will create points and methods of oversight to make sure that all content is more critically edited. We, as student journalists, strive to become better in our profession and believe taking these measures is the right thing to do.
We invite the community that we respect so dearly to join us in this process, and will be making plans accessible to the public for feedback and conversation. In our next issue– which can include in print or online– we will publish letters to the editor in regards to the column.
Thank you,
The University Star Editorial Board
Not sure you are correct on that. . .
“Rudy Martinez wrote in the column published Tuesday in ‘The University Star.”
Editorial board penned a column to students: https://star.txstate.edu/2017/11/30/a-message-from-the-editorial-board/
The University Star is located at Texas State in San Marcos.
I graduated there in ‘77 and ‘79.
I posted before I found your acknowledgement of error.
My apologies.
The only racist he outed was himself.
Thanks, Jaz.
This punk, Martinez, is promoting straight-up genocide. Rest assured, his murderous screed is going to follow him for the rest of his life.

Amen, dear Windy.
My apologies. I landed on all the wrong places from the start. The writers were in error where I landed. I perused so quickly and did not see San Marcos nor Lubbock were mentioned in the confusing accounts elsewhere, to help me clarify.
Who, What, When and Where, etc., use to be laid out more coherently and the “Where” in this case was muddled and separated in the columns I read.
Thanks for helping me.
He absolutely is, FRiend.
I posted and ran to an appointment and just got back.
I wouldn’t have posted that apology by the editorial board if I had seen your second post, Rita.
The editorial board should be fired. Why weren’t they?
Is he hinting that somehow he might not like us?
I am picking up a little negative vibe there myself. It's probably just our imaginations.
I don’t know but like you said, they sure should be fired.
Looks like a fag.
Oh, no, I greatly appreciated your posting the editorial board apology. Thx a lot. I’m the one who caused all the trouble in the first place by mentioning bad information.
Yes, it certainly did out one racist—an employee at the newspaper—and got his ignorant, hateful, racist ass fired...
