What could be their true objective?

The ability to control others with impunity; by force if necessary.

Same ol' same ol'

Toe head?
I do believe the proper expression was "tow head"

No idea of its etymology.

Thanks. I appreciate the correction.

I wasn’t sure and didn’t bother to look it up.

TOW HEAD

searched "toe head" to obtain the correction and reference / not sure why since I did believe you

So the black guy I see on the approach to the highway selling watermelons out of his truck is being racist, or the Kentucky fried chicken black counter persons are racist because the sell fried chicken. These demented white folk need to be taken to the shed

[DoughtyOne]

Couldn’t agree more.

You actually think the President of that university chose or even knew about the centerpiece? I seriously doubt it. Probably just some catering manager has a bunch of ideas and rotates them among different events. I have known a several university presidents and provosts who I’m pretty sure do NOT concern themselves with the composition of the table decorations.

[Albion Wilde]

If you read the article, he deflected when asked about the decorations and was disdainful and defensive when questioned by a black student. He simply did not “get” it, and that showed his true colors.

They deserve each other...

[albertabound]

these idiots do not realize that if it were not for cotton, they would b e still be living in Africa scratching dirt

[ViLaLuz]

The paper in the racist flip chart was made using cotton. Double tap!!

My response would have been:

Ah, I acknowledge your concern, but as one who has historical family ties to the Civil War and the Underground Railroad I view the cotton on display as a symbol of our Nation’s shared struggles for freedom.
