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.

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.

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

Maybe blow it off is too strong. My point was that we should not engage in a double standard - favoring PC limits on speech when the target is conservative if we dont fave such limits all the time.

I asked Condi about this and her reply was: "That is rediculous. I would never throw a perfectly good watermelon off the top of a 300ft. building. The rind maybe but the whole melon? Never!"
