It is really disheartening that racial strife is continuing after all this time. I know there will be some Freepers talking about reverse discrimination and affirmative action and all that bullsh*t, but it is really about human beings not respecting and loving each other in spite of our differences. I’m trying to figure out when it will end.

Sounds like the new generation is less uptight about old racial attitudes and the sanctity of the grievance mentality. Progress, in my book. I witnessed the same during my very young years between European ethnics that finally made peace through joshing instead of fighting.

To the grievance mongers: lighten up, Francis.

Plus, one small group of students has exacerbated the racial tensions by publishing inflammatory material in an alternative newspaper called The Koala.

The Koala was more comedy/satire than alternative when I was going to UCSD. Sounds like the inflammatory material was probably a dumb attempt at humor.

Some frat boys do something in poor taste and the black studenys get all uppity and make a list of demands that the cowardly administrators will cave in. If I was a UCSD student I would not be attending any sort of teach in. If I was the President I would ban the frat and that should be the end of it.

Liberals have negative senses of humor.

Baye Kes Ba Me Ra is with the Pan African Association of America. He says the problem at UCSD is bigger than just a few students.

I wonder what Fo So La Te Do had to say?

Ah to be young, in San Diego and waiting for spring. There are way more important things to be tending to than this kind of crap. Things like surf, beer, tan lines and maybe even studies.

[skeeter]

How about they just ignore it?

This kind of offensive behavior exists in ALL cultures and for the same reasons.

The law is colorblind (with the exception of hate crimes laws), and discrimination in the workplace is illegal, to say the least.

Shall we be protected from offensive behavior, as well?

African American student Bijon Robinson is a top scholar and athlete at UCSD. Dozens of colleges tried to recruit her. Now she regrets her decision.

My sister was also a top scholar and was accepted at a number of the most prestigious universities. 3 of them were in the Ivy League. But not any of them recruited her.
Give me a break Bijon. I'll bet good money you were an AA baby from the get go. If you don't like it at UCSD, then transfer and make room for another student who most likely is better qualified for UCSD.

Some say the Compton Cookout was just meant to be a parody. But Robinson and her bestfriend Eliz Diop are not laughing. “The whole party was planned to dehumanize our culture,” Diop said. “They chose to emphasize the parts of our culture we have no control over. Who wants to live in the ghetto?”

Many minority students have said the incidents speak to a larger problem. African Americans make up only 2 percent of UCSD’s student population. The majority are whites and Asians.

Wow, how horrible. Many students have to worry about personnel safety at their universities. How about Columbia where females are scared to walk the campus at night. The same is true at Yale as well. And these students are upset becasue of a parody at an off campus frat party? These are the types who are trying to be offended. They want to be offended and they are looking for things to be offended about. What a joke this whole thing is.

As for minorities, that's a code word in academic speak. They are referring to blacks and hispanics, not Asians. Asians could care less about this sort of thing. Too busy hitting the books to let stupid things like an off campus party bother them.

“The whole party was planned to dehumanize our culture”

How can you dehumanize a cult that has debased itself into a 70 percent out-of-wedlock birth rate? Or the disproportionately high percentage of HIV/AIDS cases for this group of people?

[denydenydeny]

Robinson is referring to a note found at UCSD last week that read "Compton lynching."

I would bet money that this "found" note was not authored by a white student.

None of this crap went on while I was attending UCSD. There were no fraternities. Hungry? Drive to Clairemont for a burger at Jack-in-the-Box. The only "eats" on campus for non-dorm students was the cafe by the Revelle Provost's office. It was open one afternoon each week. It was Revelle and Muir and an as yet unnamed 3rd college hosted in quonset huts on the "Matthews" campus. The book store was there. Ditto for the registrar's office. Primitive, but serviceable. The only really "racy" incident was a copy of the "Triton Times" that featured pictures of pyramids under construction. It was intended as a poke at the slow progress of building the buildings that would become the 3rd college site. Nearly every copy was pulled from the news stands and tossed in the trash by persons alleging the picture was "racist". Humorless jackasses. The era of Political Correctness had descended on the campus. It was never the same.

The Compton Cookout...NOT what the Media reported!

Thanks to Roger Hedgecock for exposing the truth about who organized the ‘Compton Cookout’....A Black man, an entertainer named Jiggaboo Jones, who is just a bit tired of the race baiting by the media and Jesse Jackson types with headlines such as this, “Outrage over ‘Compton Cookout’ at UCSD”.

See Mr. Jones explanation of all this here. His interview with Roger is here.

World Net Daily has a report today:
Organizer of ‘racist’ UC party was black

Last week a party – the Compton Cookout – was held off-campus near the University of California San Diego, and the firestorm it has created has been massive: Protest marches, teach-ins, protesters who walked out of the teach-ins and campus investigations have ensued. The administration for its part immediately placed blame on perpetrators they believed to be responsible – a so-called white fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha.

Despite the denials by Pi Kappa Alpha that they were not behind the cookout, the blame remains on PKA and its white members.

Hedgecock: “ I am the only person on the national stage who has given Mr. Jones the chance to tell his side of the story, to claim responsibility for the Compton Cookout. Mr. Jones disclosed on my program that he attempted to contact UCSD administration and the local San Diego news media to claim the event and was rebuffed at every turn. Clearly, the administration, the San Diego Union Tribune and the PC Mafia have their perpetrators, just like Mike Nifong did at Duke.

While they may wish that the template remain, I am confronting the PC Mafia. On my nationally syndicated radio program last evening, I interviewed professor Daniel Widener, a professor of African-American studies and radicalism at UCSD, and he attempted to turn this cookout into a chance to score cheap political points. I refused to let him push his agenda.
Now, I want to give you the ability to hear the truth and decide for yourselves. Below is the unedited interview I conducted with Mr. Jones and professor Widener. Be warned: The language definitely is not politically correct and will certainly cause more than a few raised eyebrows. The truth is not always pretty – but it can be pretty funny.”
