Racism...

How exactly did those guys get admitted with all the racism flying about?

[TripletDaddy]

I thought that was interesting and fairly well done. Seems like there are more and more of these spoken word videos and almost all of them have people wearing hoodies, Trayvon style (intentionally, I would imagine). Students should be encouraged to speak out peacefully, even if the message is one of criticism. I contrast this video with one that was recently posted about the BYU student that is atheist and subsequently expelled.

The author claims he is not seeking handouts, only a level playing field, but the truth is that in order for more inner city black kids to be admitted, they would require lower admissions standards (handouts) compared to the hyper-competitive Asian market clamoring to get into that school. SC demographics aren't much different despite the campus being located in the middle of black neighborhoods....maybe 5% of the student body is AA, whereas 60% is white or Asian.

My main takeaway here is that it is good to see those students finally realizing that there really is no pride in being a Bruin.

NAACP issues trace warning against American Airlines, citing several incidents of alleged racism by employees. Seems a bit of an overreaction to me, but then again I’m a white male so I wouldn’t know.

Wait for the other lady's rebuttal.

I couldn't catch what was said in the last 20 seconds to make the host completely shut things down. It must have been bad, but my ear isn't in tune enough to make out what that crazy last says

I couldn't understand it either.

She says something to the effect of her daughter won't be best friends with someone named after a wine, and that someone named Chardonnay is probably really more of a "Black Tower" or "Blue Nun". I don't know what that means, but i'm guessing those are the British equivalents of 2-buck Chuck, consumed primarily by a certain demographic.

She said those girls should have been named Black Tower or Blue Nun, instead of something like Chardonnay, because those are cheaper bottles of wine.

yikes!

Thanks, makes sense.

I gather that this woman makes a career of going on shows like this (or maybe just this show) and stirring the pot. Sort of like a small time Ann Coulter.

FTR, anyone who names their kid "Chardonnay" deserves tons of mocking and ridicule.
