I just thought it was hilarious that hjj said he wished wright would've talked about how far OM has come when there were 2 embarrassing racial situations on the OM campus in the past 2 weeks.
I see both points.
Ole Miss has come a long way (as have Mississippi and the US in general) with race relations, but there are some pretty fricking stupid, sheltered, entitled people as undergrads at Ole Miss. Bad apples and the whole bunch and all that.
That said, I don't think Wright Thompson owed it to Ole Miss to report the story any differently. I don't think that's really the point of the story anyway.

Many more states were racist 50 years ago. Ever heard of watts riots, Harlem riots, Chicago riots? What about churches being bombed and people being sprayed down with water hoses in Birmingham. Indiana was the KKK Capitol. North Florida was extremely racist.
Mississippi is just the poster child. This crap happens everywhere, all across the world. Now more than ever it is a two way street. Yes there is a high number of racist black people. But yet the media only highlights incidents in the south an only when it's white on black.
People can not help how their parents and grandparents acted or what they did.
By the way San Jose State has reprimanded 4 white students forracially insulting (or something like that)a black female student, I guess they are all a bunch of racist biggets.
