Missouri players threaten to go on strike...

No. But the old guys sure as shit are going to listen.

 

In some cases, they couldn't do worse

 

Awesome.

 

South Carolina students stage a walkout, in part, because they want the university to acknowledge the university's part in slavery.

These administrators are about 3 or 4 generations removed. Sigh.

 

More like 8-9 generations removed, if you count a generation as about 20 years apart.

 

Gas pumpers gonna pump.

 

If we don't go stormtrooper this weekend, I'ma be disappointed.

 

So then what would be a big deal about acknowledging a dark page of history? I get why you're sighing and rolling your eyes at this stuff. But there is another side of the coin to this as to why doing such a thing would even be a big deal.

 

What do the people currently in charge have to apologize for? Some weren't even thought of when that was happening. What good does a hollow apology from someone not attached to those events do?

 

Because it doesn't affect anyone in the least nor do they give a shit about it unless it presents them with some sort of leverage in a grab for gibmedats.

 

Being white and largely made up of males.

 

The list of things the students are wanting is much more logical than what the initial news article reported.

 

who doesn't acknowledge it?

 

Link or paraphrase?

 

The university hasn't, from what I gather.

 

All black students receive jet packs.

 

Why does it have to be a jet "pack?" Why not a jet "belt" or just rocket shoes? Freakin' racist.

 

so it's the official position of USC that it didn't happen? I don't understand what they're supposed to do

 

When will people answer for the autrocities committed against native Americans?

 

Good question, talk about people who got the shit end of the stick.
