Did they actually design the shirt? Or did a third party put it together for them?

What do Alabama sororities have to do with Samford shirts?

You would know about violating your bum at UT.
I am not really a fan of watermelon. Will eat to be polite.

Thanks for the pic. Somebody used an historical old map without looking close. Media makes a "look at those southern racists" story to fit the narrative to keep on hating southern whitey. SSDD.

How long before Reuters runs a story that someone in Alabama said this on an internet message board? About as important as the stupid t-shirts.

African-Americans liking watermelon is considered a racial stereotype and is generally regarded as offensive.
Really? I never would have thought that. This is just another example of people BEGGING for something to gripe about. Non-story really...

My girlfriend goes to Samford, and she forwarded me the email from the dean last week:
quote:
Students and employees—
As we proceed with commencement ceremonies today and tomorrow, my heart is aching with developments of the past few hours. If you are unfamiliar with the details, please let me offer them to you.
Shortly after 6:30 a.m. today I learned that a t-shirt that was created and produced by Samford’s Kappa chapter of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, featuring graphic art in the shape of Alabama, with an illustration of an African-American person in one corner of the shirt, holding a slice of watermelon. I think that I do not need to say that this is a violation of our core principles at Samford, but I will state it anyway: this is an abhorrent, disrespectful expression that is completely inconsistent with our core principles.
This morning we have communicated the full extent of our frustration to the leadership of the local chapter and to the international office of Alpha Delta Pi. Our values process will determine any possible actions taken regarding the chapter or any individuals involved in the design of the shirt.
My understanding is that the design of the shirt was rejected by members of our university staff during an approval process, but that the shirt was printed without our knowledge. We will, of course, conduct a thorough review of that process.
There is no doubt that this graphic illustration on a sorority t-shirt does not capture the thoughts of our entire campus, but there is also no doubt that each of us associated with Samford bears responsibility whenever disrespect appears. It is a poignant, gripping reminder that, regardless of progress made, additional progress awaits us.
Let me add this personal word to our employees and students of color, in the hope that you can know of my personal embarrassment. I was repulsed by the image. I lack the words to express my own sense of frustration. I am certain that you will receive apologies from those who were responsible for creating the shirt, but I want you to know now of my personal apology for the fact that it happened. We share intense sorrow, even on a morning in which we are called to celebrate the graduation of so many of our students. I will admit that it is difficult for me to smile amidst the sadness that I feel right now.
