Everything English said is, frankly, bullshite.

You're right. A guy who has bled black and gold, even after his career was over, is lying and just making up shite to, well, I haven't quite figured out why he's making up this shite but he is.

From my personal experience anyway. Anytime I've been to a downtown bar, which is plenty, Ive NEVER seen one racially tense moment. Of the many black kids I saw there, I can't recall a single incident where I thought they were being treated unjustly. Quite the opposite if I'm being honest. Athletes AND regular students.

It took my daughter less than a month to be shocked by the overt racism. Consider yourself fortunate I suppose.

As for the Walljasper tweet. When a line is drawn in the sand, which it clearly has been. It's going to bring out the extremists on both sides.

I agree it'll just get worse, but don't act like that truck wasn't driving down the road before all this crap too.

I think some of the demands are straight foolish. I think the way some protesters act is even more foolish. But the only thing just as foolish is the attempt to try make it out that COMO is free of racists. No place is. Which is why it sounds foolish.

And yes, that's been one of the reasons Mizzou hasn't gotten kids out of STL in the past. It's always been viewed as having a problem with race.

If you haven't figured out why he's saying these things now then I can't help you do it.

Educate me. I don't know why.

Well with PM almost coming apart at the seems right now, I thought I'd come here and check things out. Much saner here.

To answer your question Jesus, the best I can gather is that it is complicated as these things usually are. So I'll start by saying, I believe he or others have been saying things for some time now but Wolfe has failed to make things better and it has escalated to this point. I believe that's why they are calling for his head and the hunger strike was started. There were other incidents leading up to it but it's basically a culmination of things building up.

I agree, Wolfe has to go and some others as well and they will know who they are. To not do much of anything is as bad as actually doing what ever has been done in my book. It allows discourse and unlawfulness by standing by and doing much of nothing. But getting rid of Wolfe is not waving a magic wand. It's not an easy fix. It's going to take time. That's what these kids need to understand. One thing is finding Wolfe's replacement. They are also trying to change a culture and that's probably the biggest challenge.

In the same breath, I also feel that from a standpoint of the players, I understand their motivation for boycotting a game or the season. But, what stronger point could you make than on national TV standing united as a team? They to me have the moral obligation to play the game as a team and demonstrate to the country that racism will not stop them. That they are there to support equality. They should play the game, and use it to their advantage. To not play the game takes them out of the publics eye. They should play the game.

So the mob mentality would go so far as to make Kim make up lies just so he can join the mob? And you know that he hasn't witnessed black people being treated differently than white people how?

I have no doubt that there is a lot of mob mentality going on but I also have no doubt that some instances and some statements are nothing but accurate.

There is a real race problem at Mizzou,and it is being caused by racist black students.

I agreed with the first part of your comment because I do take issue with how such groups create divisiveness but you completely lost me here. Are you saying that white people are only racist because of exclusively black organizations or are you saying white people in COMO simply aren't racist and it's only black people? Either one sounds kind of dumb so I'm sure there's a third option I'm just not coming up with.

Some white people are racist, but the vast majority today aren't. The new segregating is a black phenomenon. It is the major cause of racial animosity on campus. Creating a black students counterpart to existing organizations is counterproductive to the goal of racial cohesion.

bullshite. Wolfe has fricked up by not being transparent with his actions or lack of. Not been out in front of racial issues. The guy just shoved the problems to the back burner and now they're on fire. Not to mention that by not doing anything, he aids the ability to have a racially charged environment and or culture among faculty also. It always lies just below the surface, you don't always see it but it's there.

You have an entire football team walking out puting there scholarships on the line. You have a head coach puting his job on the line supporting his players, probably for personal reasons more than campus politics but he's right there. He was in the meeting with his players. You have a large part of the student body calling for Wolfe to be removed. There is obviously some real shite going on here.

I don't doubt that there is reverse discrimination going on. It's been around for as long as there has been discrimination. Nor do I think the list of demands is totally realistic. People would have to be let go, careers would be lost to make room for minority filled positions. But, you have to start at some point equaling things out. It has to paid attention to and even if you don't give a shite inside, you at least have to act like you give a damn. If you don't, it's basically an elitist mantality and you create and harbour a hostile environment by doing little to nothing.
