Oops.

Back to sensitivity training for these students. Of course their parents will have to pick up the cost for the additional college course.

“Students have said the skit was racially insensitive and homophobic, and it objectified women”

Aren’t those good things?

1st Amendment protection...it’s art!

[TexasCajun]

It could have been worst, I guess, If the skit included a limo, cocaine and homosexual white guy giving Obama a Lewinski.

Times have changed. I remember as a 6th grader our entire class put on a minstrel show in black face for the rest of the school.

Evidently the University has not provided enough politically correct sensitivity training to mind numbed robotic students.

“A skit with a black-faced white student portraying Barack Obama receiving a lap dance has sparked claims of racial insensitivity and an investigation at North Dakota State University.”

The lap dancing is considered art.

The lap dancing is considered sexist objectification of women.

The claim of homophobia rings false. This is outrage from a heterophobic protester.

And the costume was racist because Obama doesn’t have an afro. He has a closely trimmed “clean and articulate” haircut.

If it was a play with Bush as Hitler or a crucifix in a jar of urine, it’s called art and free speech

Isn’t this that conversation about race that Obama wanted?

[FlingWingFlyer]

"Racial insensitivity." ROTFL!!!

Liberals and DemocRATS must sit around all day just thinking this ---- up.

I wonder when we're going to start dealing with religious "insensitivity" and start having some "investigations."

[Stentor]

Isn’t this that conversation about race that Obama wanted?

The "conversation" is whites sitting quietly and listening to harangues about crap they had nothing to do with.

Oh please! Al Jolson made millions of dollars that way.

I won't mention all the obvious things about colleges, the thought police (multicultural office) etc...

No need for anything more than an old fashioned booing off the stage of these jerks. What I find appalling is the total lack of taste and humor by many youngsters these days. I don't find anything on TV very funny (Colbert, Letterman? Jon Stewart barely).

The skit described here:

A pageant contestant from Saddle and Sirloin dressed as the woman from the popular Internet video “I Got a Crush on Obama” and performed for another student who was wearing dark makeup and an afro wig.

In the background, two male students dressed as cowboys simulated anal sex while holding an Obama sign that one student ripped at the conclusion of the 30-second performance

Who in his right frigging mind, college educated or not, finds this garbage FUNNY?

Colleges and the multiculturalists PC idiots have destroyed education, taste, and HUMOR.

A skit with a black-faced white student portraying Barack Obama

Sounds like a perfectly acceptable way to portray the half-white Barack Hussein Obama.

[neutrino]

Students have said the skit was racially insensitive and homophobic, and it objectified women, Carter said.

Or, in other words, it was great!

[Gator113]

I find it amazing.

[MuttTheHoople]

That’s messed up. Why would you do blackface for a rich white guy?

[Hatteras]

"Russell Danielson, the club’s adviser, said the students involved are from rural North Dakota communities with little diversity. He plans to talk to NDSU’s diversity officer about arranging sensitivity training for the members."

Of course, now I get it. We can't have true diversity until everybody thinks like we do.
