This. My brain simply couldn’t process this. The white instructors at these universities are supposed to at least be a little more woke.

I thought this too. Like, this would have been terrible anywhere, but... Howard University? Really??

I just don’t buy the argument that taking part in mock slave auction is educational for anyone no matter how you set it up. I mean do you start drivers ed by taking a car out and mowing down some pedestrians?

What really would actually have been educational: pick a white student out of the classroom, have a black student act as auctioneer, examine the white students teeth and muscles, poke him a couple times, then let the black students in the class bid on him. Don’t tell the white student what happens after the auction is…

Whaaaaaaat? How is that education?

Oh, for Pete’s sake! Really? How did this person get hired at “the Mecca”?

I think everyone should be treated fairly but transgender people are exactly what they are and that’s transformed. They’re not the same as a woman who was born that way and accepted their gender no matter what society made them think. That is a real woman and you slight them by comparing them to a person who is…

That is the ONLY entertaining thing about the Trumpanzee’s presidency: Watching his flunkies run around trying to re-explain, un-explain, deflect, divert, clarify and Moibius strip defend some stupid Tweet that Tiny Fingers McGee sends out at 5 a.m. I hope Pence wakes up every morning dreading what bullshit he has to…

Birmingham, Alabama, not UK

racism, white supremacy, and apathy.

I and my entire family know it by heart and sing it a lot.

Some “15 minutes” - that’s going to cost them until they’re at least 50; then it can be labeled “a youthful indiscretion” when they run for public office and this is discovered by their opponent.

Those actions do not represent who we are as a campus.

I would love to have something meaningful to say but all I can say is “what the hell is wrong with people”.

I mean, okay. But it’s also not uncommon for someone who holds racist views and/or believes in upholding systemic racism to like/love/be attracted to some persons of color. The question is not, “Does Paul Ryan like/love/wanna fuck some black people?” The question is whether he thinks that, as a white dude, he is…
