| this is from an article talking about the Duke Lacrosse players. i find this interesting. so it is only a hate crime if whites do something against blacks. it never goes the other way. sort of llike the Imus incident. it is only racist when he said something against the Rutgers players. every other thing he says that is against anyone else is ok. hmmmmmm During the 40th anniversary of the integration at Ole Miss, two black students found racial insults scrawled on the doors of their dorm rooms: 'F*****g Nigger' and 'F*****g Hoe [sic] Nigger.' Similar messages turned up in other locations across the campus. Students organized a 'Say No to Racism' march, and race activists demanded 'programs and procedures' to instill racial sensitivity. A spate of national news coverage commented on how little Ole Miss had changed in 40 years. When the perpetrators were found to be black students, Ole Miss chancellor Robert Khayat made it clear there would be no criminal charges, even though the students caused over $600 worth of damage and harmed race relations at the school. When a hate crime was reported last year at Trinity International University near Chicago there was a flood of indignation on campus. Students at the mostly white school wore yellow shirts to symbolize solidarity with blacks who had received a stream of hate mail. Jesse Jackson spoke on campus. Over 40 students were evacuated to an unnamed hotel for their own safety and security was beefed up at the college. Counselors were made available and students held prayer vigils. But when the culprit turned out to be Alicia Hardin, a black student who wanted to transfer out of Trinity to be closer to her friends, the story—and the campus outrage—faded away. University president Greg Waybright even announced that he felt 'a sense of relief' because the incident was 'resolved.' He warned that the hoax should not reflect on any particular ethnic group.($link) Also last year, students at Wooster College in Ohio awoke to find swastikas and racist messages written on dorm walls. Angry protestors raged against 'typical white males' until the writers of the slurs turned out to be a group of lefty students led by a black studies major. A similar incident happened at the University of Louisville in 2004. Students endured racial graffiti and racist fliers passed out on cars. Protesters held rallies and handed a list of demands to U of L president Jim Ramsey. The incident quietly faded away when black students admitted to passing out the fliers as a 'prank.' ~comment now~ | | |

| I feel sad today. I got an email from a high school classmate telling me my friend had died. He was sick with Lupus and died of kidney failure. This makes me very sad. We rode the bus to school together. He was very funny and we had a good time. He was never pretenious. Sometimes a bit goofy. I moved out of the area and lost touch I have to admit. I saw him at our high school reunion and he looked good. It was great to see him. I am so sad. I am sad that I hadn't talked to him much over the last 10 years. I am sad that I am too far away to go to the funeral. I am sad that life gets so busy and complicated that we lose touch with friends. Our lives are too small to fit all the people in that we want to. Not enough time in the day or week to spend quality time with all those friends. So often you grow away from the friends you grew up with. You make new friends in every phase of your live. You keep moving forward and so do they but not in the same place. I can understand being a hermit sometimes. You just stick to yourself and your house. You dont' see anyone so you are not guilty about giving time to one person more than another. Of course you are sad and alone. To be guilty is better than that. My favorite memory of my friend is what he wrote in my senior class yearbook. He wrote about "the time we glued his cat to the kitchen table". It was so funny. We never did that. But it was so funny that he put it in there for all time that we did. I didn't know him all that long but he left an impression. I do miss him. | | |
