One only needs to go to TB and read some of the stuff being said about J'Mon to see that Majics point of view is valid here.
I respect surgicalvenom's points. I think there's validity to the view that there were racial issues and at a bare minimum a perception of a problem. And there's obviously a contingent of our fanbase that has racial issues. The Kim Anderson/Frank Haith dichotomy displays that clearly enough. I'm not going to pretend we don't have issues.
Majic's points are largely bullshite. And I'm not going to sacrifice reason to pretend to agree with them.

I didn't intend for this thread to be about racism at Mizzou. I will share some of the stuff I have learned from other staffers at Mizzou. The issue was known about by Loftin. Loftin was on his way out the door by Mizzou for other issues he had caused on campus. To stick it to Wolfe, he let this stuff grow out of hand not meet with the protesters immediately. By the time Wolfe was aware of the situation it was out of hand. By that I mean that the talking stages had passed. Wolfe didn't help his case by ignoring them. Campus had a huge break down in communication and that reflects leadership. In many many ways what happened was horrible but a small silver lining is that Mizzou has a chance to get leadership that the university needs to move forward. It is a top 30 university but could be so much more.

I'm not going to begrudge him his opinion. Some have gone on record here saying they would never send their kids there because of how the administration didn't quash the protests quietly. He says he wouldn't send his kid there because of what he perceives as racial tension. I don't see much difference in either stance, just polar opposites of each other and I don't begrudge either for their view.
