You have GOT to be kidding. They seriously put this as a test question?

I don't think we should jump on this one.
It is offensive to stereotype Dr Rice. It is offensive that the left will likely over look this as Dr. Rice is not their preferred example of a black American.
But I think if Dr. Rice were here she would say she has real concerns and doesn't have time to focus of the cosmetic ones and we should follow that example.
Additionally I don't think that every nuance of speech in academia should be examined for traces of racism to be stamped out... racism is gonna be there , to be sure but taking a politically correct approach to allowed speech is not the answer.

Well, they didn't use a last name.
So I'm sure they will say they were referring to some other "Condoleezza".
(And if you say that you associate the name Condoleezza with a black woman they'll say that YOU are racist.)
To: JulieRNR21
I guess it's meant as some kind of racial joke/insult, but it's pretty weak tea.

I'd have them change the question, but change the
watermelon to a terrorist and I think the question works just fine.
And I'd personally pay good money to see Condi throw Osama off a roof.

If this sentence was truly on the exam, then the professor also needs to attend a remedial English class:
How many seconds will it pass her (she's standing at a height of 300 feet) on the way down?

If the person cited was Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Martin Luther King.......the NAACP would be on it in a NY minute.
I believe we need to, at the very least, let this liberal college know that linking our brilliant and capable Dr. Rice with a watermelon is unacceptable!
Many black students at this college are asking for our help through Dr.Wayne Perryman and I for one will answer their call.

Oh, no. But as with all things liberal, the great principle of anti-racism only applies to Leftists. Everyone else can be maligned and smeared at will.

No need for a last name as she is the only Condoleezza everybody recognizes!

Agree that Dr. Rice has so much class that she would blow it off.
Disagree that we should blow if off. It is completely obnoxious and racist. It is not the story of the year but the jerk responsible should be seriously stung by the indignation of the citizens, i.e., us.

They sure would... and they are descipable hypocrites for not doing so in this case.
Nonetheless I have concerns about adopting their tactics.

There ain't no way that scrawny little colored gal could throw an average 30 pound watermelon straight in the air with a force of 92 foot pounds of force per second.

The only Condoleeza I know is Condi Rice.
C'mon you know this is a set up. I guess it wouldn't have been offensive if Condoleeza had thrown a canteloupe off a Federal building, but a watermelon?
Sheesh!

Exactly......I believe we must speak up and that's why I posted this request for our help.
