They "remember" times before desegregation? How old are these people? Plus, how is someone in blackface so insulting? They're all @#@&(# retards.

There will be even "better" news coming out of Stetson in the coming days and weeks. Some of my friends on College Republicans started a conservative magazine, only to be barred from distribution both on and off campus due to disagreements over the conservative content. All attempts at compromise have been unsuccessful so far. We have already contacted the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) and they have taken our case. Hopefully we can settle but we are prepared to protect out legal rights.

They committed the greatest of all crimes: ethnic humor at the expense of one of the favored minorities. Had they engaged in lesbianism or insulted Christians or whites there would have been no problem.

The funny thing about this is a black is offended by blackface but a black man doing hip hop talking about beating up on cops and Ho's and playing with his nuts the whole time doesnt offend them in the least. To me Blackface is a lot better than gangster rap.

If it outrages the Southern Poverty Law Center, I know it must be a good thing.

Can anyone explain to me why something they did off campus on their own time should held against them?

If the university tried to impose any punishment against me, my first stop would be in the office of a lawyer.

Some people on campus are angry with the photos, saying they remind them of the humiliation and mockery blacks suffered before desegregation, Minor said.

Uhhhhhhh....but wearing cornrows and gold caps is something blacks do TODAY, some 40 years after desegregation. Isn't it?
