Ole Miss Moves Swiftly to Address Latest Racial Controversy
NYSlimes via MSN ^ | 03 Oct 2018 | Adeel Hassan

When Daniel Payne, a white junior at the University of Mississippi, saw that a major benefactor of the journalism school he attends had posted racially insensitive comments on social media, he immediately thought “it was going to be really, really bad.”

The post on Facebook was written by Ed Meek, 77, a Mississippi graduate and media entrepreneur. In his post, Mr. Meek complained of deteriorating property values around the university campus and declining enrollment. He attached a photo of two young black students wearing party dresses, suggesting that they — or people who looked like them — were responsible for the problems on campus and in town.... Mr. Meek deleted his post shortly after it went viral. The students in the photograph were identified as Mahoghany Jordan and Kiyona Crawford. Ms. Jordan, a senior general studies major, responded to Mr. Meek in an opinion article for the student newspaper. “I deserve to feel secure in my skin on this campus and in this town just as my counterparts do and I will continue to carry on as such,” she wrote. Whether Mr. Meek’s name will be removed from the journalism school remains unclear.

“Party dresses”

If they were white I’d still think they looked like hookers.

Isn’t that the issue here? Who wants hookers parading down the street in front of their house?

True enough. We’ve reached a new low when you can’t call a freak a “freak”.

he complains of 40 arrests and activity at 2am. But the critics seized upon the photos of a woman with barely concealed breasts and another in a tube dress.

Tuition is high. Some students have to work their way through college. One should dress appropriately for the job chosen.

Complaining about hos and sluts is turned into ‘racism’.

I have witnessed more modestly dressed hookers plying their trade on a street corner.

My daughter went to Ole Miss until recently. It is a wonderful university.She didn’t encounter racial discrimination. But they don’t like northerners that have a funny accent.
