The old adage that a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged - well, the liberals on the campus have been mugged. A well known secret at UNC is that the students are much less liberal than the teachers (which is why the teachers support having more out of state students - more liberals on upper west side than in Pig Droppings, NC). When it becomes clear that this little (pr*ck - there are a lot better words) literally killed her for no particular reason, you will have 20,000 kids ready and willing to pull the switch, administer the shot (either meaning), or whip the horse (no racial meaning here).
What is worse for those of us who fight racism is that sometimes the racists are right! If you walk through the biology department at UNC, and see the African American students who are going to become doctors, they dress the same as this thug! I work with a group that sends minority kids to med school, and I have to explain to these smart kids that if they look like a thug, they will be treated as such and that is NOT racism. The reason this soon to be daisy pusher could walk around downtown Chapel Hill without being ostracized is that the people who actually do belong there dress the same way. Maybe the hat at a different angle.
To all young and ambition blacks - Pull your pants up! Take off the hat! If your peers do not accept you as a person who wants the acheive great things in life, find new peers!
Someone will hang the jury
Very well said!!!
