I wouldn't go so far as to declare that one black person is spitting in another's face... as a white person I'm not in a position to make that judgment... all I know is that I RESPECT James Meredith and Rosa Parks and do not, in any way, respect these current Missouri clown claims. Jonathan Butler (the guy on the starvation diet) is the most despicable character I can recall in the whole history of civil rights protests. Imagine you've worked hard your entire life to become a university president, and some little jackass targets you by hurting himself. That's similar to a suicide bomber in a market place. This entire thing started because some coddled little speck of a man, a student body president, thinks he's so special that he should be shielded from words that unlike sticks and stones can't break his bones. He got angry because the university didn't pay enough attention quick enough to his whine, even when the university had nothing to do with the incident. Stand firm, Missouri. There are valid claims of racial abuse out there. This is not one of them. This is of the counterproductive boy-who-cried-wolf type that only tends to cause the rest of us to be immediately skeptical and dismissive of such complaints.
