Why should anyone who didn't create or participate in these injustices feel guilt? That sounds ignorant. An individual is only responsible for his/her own actions, not the actions of their forebears, or an entire race, culture, ethnicity, etc. I carry no guilt for crimes I have not committed.

Like I say, I think they missed a real opportunity to come out looking thoughtful, reasonable, sensitive but practical and realistic, intellectual, motivated to address important topics, and on and on.

Instead they look afraid.

Imagine thinking slavery was the sole responsibility of western whites against blacks.

Imagine thinking that blacks weren't selling themselves into slavery and destitution well before they realized the white market was an opportunity.

Imagine pretending denying a kid admission to school is more important than the actual slave trade going on today.

Imagine being a leftist, and this would be you.

Imagine thinking slavery existed in some small window in human history.

Imagine thinking slavery in this world has happened to only one race.

Imagine thinking slavery no longer exists.

This is all exactly why history needs to be taught.

My ancestors were almost undoubtedly slaves during Caesar's Gallic Wars; my bloodline is so thick with British/Gallic ancestry that there's almost no way they weren't. They certainly weren't black. And my grandfather and his family were sharecroppers- not slavery, sure, but damn close. Last, how do we forget the old Biblical slavery, thousands of years ago?

Leftists are so busy slobbering on the knob of social media that they don't take the time to go anywhere, to read, to learn, they live only in six-second clips and horrible modern 'literature'. They assume a bunch of welfare-leeching idiots with cell phones are signs of poverty but haven't set foot outside of a resort anywhere else in the world. They've not gone to work and experienced the actual pieces of socialism (reservations, government hospitals) in this country and the horrors that they are. There is no perspective at all.

That's a legitimate point and should have been part of the conversation that UT could have promoted as its reaction to the situation. I think its the "run for cover" aspect of their cowering reaction that makes UT look bad here.[/QUOTE

Didn't read the article?

His father was white and supposedly he called him out on his white privilege.

if there was any doubt in the fathers mind that having sex with the boys mother was a mistake, I think he now knows the answer

Then why is that word used excessively in songs and conversation among the black community? If it's so hurtful....

It is a derogatory word, but many people say it so often it is part of their everyday vocabulary. Most of the people that use it are not very intelligent.

I don't understand "white privilege". I'm a middle-aged white guy and I still get scared when a cop pulls me over. He's still a stranger with a gun who's judgement I'm being asked to trust. So am I not supposed to be scared of that simply because of the color of my skin?

Give us a hint of what you said?

I just told him I was disgusted that they supported and encouraged bullying by the way they treated this young woman. I feel that forgiveness is a tenet that UT should embrace rather than persecuting mistakes made by an immature person. I also told him that I wouldn't be financially supporting the university anymore and that they can go as financially bankrupt as they apparently are morally for all I care.

Ya'll feel free to join in.
