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.

HOTTY-TODDY

I don’t call that school by name. We MSU fans call it “That school up north”

I don’t mind going to the Egg Bowl there though and hangin’ out in The Grove.

Meh...Meeks is a front hole who rolled over too easily. Every thing he said is correct. Bet $100 that the building is renamed for a negro. Coming soon, “Welcome to the Jesse Holland School of Journalism at Ole Miss”. Vitter is a detestable Communist.
