Worse than the nearly literate moron trying so desperately to be offended, is the heartfelt apology by the feckless and disgusting president of the university.

Disgraceful

the "outrage" is expected, but what I find surprising is that in this day and age, when nearly everything is perceived to be racist, someone didn't think putting cotton bolls on the centerpiece for an African-American dinner may not go over well.

Should we acquiesce to crying fits by babies, or slap them and tell them to grow up? At what point does failure to act become an endorsement?

I don't disagree with what you said, but I don't see it as applicable on a macro level towards preventing incidents like this in the future.

I can see why universities want to eliminate SAT and ACT scores from admission standards. The grammar in this note of outrage is nothing short of pathetic.

You either ignore it; or call her out on her half-wiitted bullshiite.

Agree. Common sense and awareness

I will say something to make you all feel better. I have worked about four years at a startup in SF, and a lot of the employees are very young. The people that work in Finance and those that interface with Wall St are all super smart and aggressive young people who went to great colleges. The software engineering team is huge and full of recent CS grads, with no offshore. They are all very bright and motivated and work their butts off. The students from Lipscomb U, I would guess, are on the other side of the fence. The thing is, all the idiot millennials get the press, but there are a lot of good ones, they don't fit the media's narrative though.

I think the media exists to piss us all off.

OK, now a black woman is lobbing the same racist accusations at Hobby Lobby for selling the same arrangement in their stores.

This is why you don't coddle these idiots. They act this way because people let them. Treat them like adults who don't get offended by natural flora, and point them out as idiots if they do. All these women need someone to tell them to STFU.

You know what, I'm fine with that.

OTOH, if his great great great great grandkids are offended by your floor, I'd hope someone slaps them.

I assume you do see the difference between the two. One is a setting for an event specifically for blacks; the other is a generic store product that caters to all races all the time. No slippery slope, just an idiot complaining about the store.

Sure there is. I would bet you $100 her ancestors in the late 1800's (if they even picked cotton - and oh by the way, she almost certainly has white ancestors too) would have had no problem with that centerpiece.

This is a modern phenomenon created by overstimulation to racial issues. The more you talk about it, the more you'll get of it. People are conditioned to see racism everywhere. Coddling them just exacerbates the problem.
