And you would be wrong about Hayden Fry.Hayden Fry was like Bear Bryant in that the only interest they both had in "civil rights" was being able to recruit players to win football games...that is where it began...and ended.

If you have a lounge membership, you should read the thread there. People who actually understand nuance are having an intelligent discussion about what is going on (unfortunately that eliminates any interest for a few of you, particularly the OP).
Still waiting on the rest of the ridiculous causes.
There has to be more to the story than a couple of isolated incidents.Update. Mizzou faculty are also walking out off the job in show of solidarity.

I imagine your reaction is supposed to be "There has to be more to the story than a couple of isolated incidents" because no one would risk death over a trivial matter.There has to be more to the story than a couple of isolated incidents.
Another thing I've never understood is the purpose of a "hunger strike." I don't know enough about the current tensions in Columbia, Mo., but every so often you hear about someone protesting by going on a hunger strike. I've never understood how that is supposed to make someone say "Oh, man, we've got to stop this otherwise this guy's going to starve himself to death." I say let them protest that way if they want to. They aren't hurting anybody else.
What airline?If Hayden Fry was a progressive I'm a jet airplane pilot...
This article goes into more detail, but it doesn't get to specifics until you get about halfway through the pretty long story.

There was a lot of great macro-race discussion in that thread.
None of it explained why the President of MU should lose his job.
1. President Fired
2 10% of their faculty needs to be black
3. They need to set up new PC groups

The interesting part in all of this is that while the media does everything it can to stir the "racism" pot ... most people just go about their lives and work side by side and go about their lives. I work with people all over the country and the world. We're all just here just working to make a living.
I think "most" people in society understand the demographics are changing, and they are changing quickly. By 2050, Caucasians will be the minority ... In some major cities that is already the case. Not everything is about race - but in the media and the like, that is what it ends up being.. Sadly, I think some people are "taught" to be skeptical of Caucasians; they are "taught" to believe Caucasians are out to get them. In the meantime, African Americans, Asians, Hispanics ... we'll all continue to sit and work side-by-side at work and do our jobs.
I just struggle with the topic ... I live in Des Moines ... And yes, Iowa is a Caucasian-dominated state but at the company I work for we have people from different segments. And so if I read and believe all of the media accounts, and social media postings ... then my work neighbors ... and me ... should all hate each other. Now is as good as any time to be Hispanic, African American, Asian, etc. Different consumer segments are flourishing all around us so let's quit sending the message that everything is about racism against African Americans. Because it isn't.
