How are these students going to survive in the real world if they are driven to tears over something like this?

They won't. They'll remain jobless, live off welfare, have multiple children outside of marriage, and then claim the evil white people held them back.
Yeah, they're so silly to be offended by a banana peel because clearly there are no racists spouting racist # in the world.

It's time to outlaw bananas and banana-eating on every campus.

I think people have been whipped up into a frenzy over things that would not normally be viewed as racism if social and national media weren't blowing it out of proportion.
You have people seeing apparitions of Nazis and Klansman behind every bush and tree.

I don't even know why I'm bothering. This is a thread for right-wingers to dismiss the existence of racism while one of their peers says some racist bull# and they're all either in agreement or too lacking in character to call him out for it.
Ole Miss has a long history of racist incidents which shouldn't be all that surprising, considering it's in Mississippi. Here's a frat boy pleading guilty last year to hanging a noose around a statue of James Meredith, the first black student at Ole Miss who went on to be a USAF veteran and prominent figure in the Civil Rights movement.
Former Ole Miss student pleads guilty to hanging noose around statue honoring the first black student
BRO?! Why are they so sensitive BRO?! They're just going to "remain jobless, live off welfare, have multiple children outside of marriage, and then claim the evil white people held them back" anyway? Amirite bros?
She said the image was especially disturbing in light of an incident on American University’s campus in May of this year. The morning Taylor Dumpson was to take over as the school’s first female black student government president, students found bananas hanging from nooses across campus. Some of the bananas were inscribed with references to Dumpson’s sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha.

So the student is definitely a racist?
I, too, have eaten a banana and tossed the peel. Does that make me racist too?
