How are they going to justify those professor’s $400,000 salaries when they have no more students?

Ole Miss might have a couple of professors who are making that kind of salary but not many. If they do, they are probably bringing in 10-20 times that much annually in research grants. There's your justification.

Most professors at Ole Miss probably don't make much more in salary than a star football player gets in under-the-table payments from boosters and a small fraction of what the head football coach gets.

It's better to be a litterbug

Actually Todd Starnes is wrong about that.

You should never throw a banana peel on the ground, because when someone steps on it, he or she can slip and break a leg.

My first, and final, thought is...”I don’t care!”.

If these “students” are so afflicted with an inferiority complex about being black that everything they see, or hear, is a “trigger”, then they need some serious therapy...not “reparations”.

They seem to be seeking out all of the stereotypical things that they used to bash “whitey” about, and turning them into “inanimate object racism”.

I’ve been eating bananas, watermelon, and fried chicken from a very young age...long before I knew they were stereotypically associated with blacks. That connection was originally made by journalists, cartoonist, Hollywood, and later TV.

As time passed, I got busier, and busier, just living and learning life...survival skills, like education, skills, and a trade. I guess I foolishly thought that everyone else was doing the same thing. /sarc

Since the 1960’s the minorities, and the liberal press, have had us walking on eggshells to avoid “doing” the wrong thing, or “saying” the wrong thing, lest we are rubber stamped as “racisits”.

Now we’re up to transgender “pronouns”, and other trigger words that light up the gay, and feminine movements.

I still refuse to live my life walking on eggshells to appease these, mostly ignorant, “groups”.

I refuse to live my one life, trying to pacify these overgrown adolescents who go radical while trying to get attention; “attention” is a drug to them, an addiction fostered by their parents in spoiling them rotten.

My children are grown, and are doing well...in part because I guided, disciplined, and instilled pride in them...not for being white, but for being good human beings.

The meme that blacks “cannot be racist” is a myth right up there with unicorns and the tooth fairy. It’s an excuse they have created (aided by the media) to give them totally immunity for being...well...”racists”.

When I read, “kill all white people”, and they tell me they’re “not racist”, I know where the total stupidity lies...and it ain’t all me.

People aren’t “groups”, people are individuals, and that’s how I treat them. Hiding behind a hate group is the cowards’ way to negotiate life. If they don’t have you outnumbered, outsized, or outgunned...they run like cowards. Individual bravery is non-existent.

So...cowards...run and tell “mommy” when you see a banana peel, a watermelon rind, or a chicken leg bone......I don’t care. They are totally inanimate objects, utilized by the whole human race since whenever. You don’t own them, and getting “offended” by them shows that you, too, believe in the same racial stereotypes as anyone else.

Sometimes professors get a cut of the research grants that they bring in....to get $400k you’d need to bring in quite a bit.

Very, very common.

The frequent, “proper” and desired result of many of these Social Justice “protests” (and almost all of the enviro-sponsored EPA lawsuits nationally) is a mandated long-term “studies program” by the local “college” or university to “study the long-term effects of (fill in blank) on the regional (environment/local school/local district) to “prevent a re-occurrence”” of the original lawsuit.

Presto! Instant “mandated” employment for local professors and social justice warriors (with a convenient degree from the local college in social justice warfaring!

Hell the most damage a banana peel used to do was attract flies and other bugs or make one slip and fall.

and break a arm, leg or foot

Profs with monster salaries are almost always coaches, administrators, or in medicine. None of those have very much directly to do with the number of students being talked bout. And most universities have huge endowments that pay the salaries of a lot of professors.

“Time after time they demonstrate, conclusively, that they are incapable of rational thought and logic and completely lack the ability to function as adults in a civilized society.”

Isn’t that what Lincoln said?

I can’t wait until these coddled snowflakes get out of school and hit the job market and real life...

Careful what you wish for. Some of the older snowflake millenials are old enough to run for Congress, and the oldest ones will be old enough to run for the Presidency in 2020.
Sleep well with that thought.

I can only imagine what the “Ole Miss” himself, Shep Smith is going to say about this.

Colleges are training them to assume the worst intentions about people

Very true.

The irony is that these people ALSO believe that we need to elect "the best" people to government and then give those people unlimited power. Because an all-powerful government can create Utopia right here for us today.

Unfortunately, we are giving tremendous power to people with the worst intentions.

Oops.

I would hope by the time they got that old that they would have real life figured out but you are right, as long as employers continue to coddle them, some will never change. I live in a ‘right-to-work’ state that normally doesn’t put up with them. Most employers believe in ‘hire/fire at will’. There are always a few that learn to beat the system though and learn to get around company policies for a while.

All the shock and horror is misdirected. The snowflakes are not to blame. Is is the duty of adults to look them in the eye and tell them to grow up, open their textbooks and get back to work. How can snowflakes learn if so-called adults fail to teach? A dose of reality would also help: make the summer break a required work period in order to graduate.
