University President Apologizes For Hosting Black Students In Home With Cotton Decoration (PIC!)

A university president in Tennessee apologized Friday for hosting black students in his home, which displayed a cotton decoration.

Randy Lowry, president of Lipscomb University, apologized for showing centerpieces bearing cotton stalks while hosting black students at his home in an email sent to the school Friday and posted on Facebook.

“The content of the centerpieces was offensive, and I could have handled the situation with more sensitivity,” said Lowry. “I sincerely apologize for the discomfort, anger or disappointment we caused and solicit your forgiveness.”

The president reported that multiple students confided in him about the cotton decoration displayed during a Thursday dinner he hosted at his home for black students to share their experiences at Lipscomb with him.

“I have heard from a number of students who would like to spend more time together engaging in conversation,” said Lowry. “I am most pleased to do so either in small groups or individually.”

Other schools have taken action to try to redress the grievances of black students. The University of Missouri hosted segregated microaggression therapy sessions in August. (RELATED: Mizzou Offers ‘Microaggressions’ Therapy For Black Students ‘Surviving’ At ‘White Institution’)

The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to Lowry and Lipscomb for comment, but received none in time for press.

Typical cloistered LIB-idiot college administrator whose panties get in a wad if he “offends”. I’m “triggered” by the existence of such absolute losers as this pearl-clutching moron. What a pinhead. My hope is that this flaccid fool resigns to aimlessly wander American back-ways, begging for forgiveness and whining incessantly.

Why has he not tendered his resignation? If not for any other reason, it would set an admirable example for students, faculty and administrators alike.

What say you President Lowry?

This whole event is so mindbogglingly idiotic that I’m wondering if it was staged?

What could be their true objective?

Their true objective is to make their college president grovel, to make other administrators and faculty members grovel, and to assert an increasingly dominant role in defining politically correct “issues” for their campus.

I picked corn as a youth.

Next thing you know, having rubber grapes on a table is going to be racist.

It amazes me the level of agression these perpetually offended asses dump when ever they are micro offended.

I hope he destroys/burns all cotton products in his house!

And at Lipscomb!

No more cotton!

And may the offended students burn all their cotton products as well!

Grow up!

Picking cotton was not limited to slaves. I see no slaves picking cotton across the South at this time. I grew up in Mississippi. I live in Alabama. I see cotton blooming within miles of where I live. It is a beautiful sight.

Sure, this is not real cotton, but it reminds people of cotton, so it must be BANNED:

Unreal. He should immediately resign for failing to have sufficient backbone to be considered human.

The fact that his knee-jerk reaction was to grovel tells me that there is a whole minefield ahead just waiting for his next stumble-bumble.

I bet as many poor whites picked cotton in the South as did slave

Add to that many European immigrants worked in horrific factories up north, manufacturing cotton cloth.

These maniacs are such tools. Their puppetmasters strive to erase their history. Useful idiots, and not just blacks, are buying the poison they're selling.
