More PC run amok. more pussification of America, etc..etc..... (by WalkSoftly)
"" A “Hump Day” celebration at the University of
St. Thomas in Minnesota has been canceled
as a result of complaints about the potential
“racism” in bringing a camel on campus.
The school’s Residence Hall Association
(RHA) had planned the event as a celebration
of the school year’s end — “Hump Day” is a
common phrase for Wednesday, or for any
difficult “hump” in a schedule. The RHA
planned to bring in a live camel for “a petting
zoo type of atmosphere.”
Campus Reform’s Kaitlyn Schallhorn reported
that the event was abandoned after several
students complained on Facebook about the
costs (reportedly $500) of bringing the live
animal to the school, as well as the potential
for some to interpret the animal’s presence as
racial insensitivity for Middle Eastern cultures.
In a statement on the RHA’s Facebook page,
the group’s president wrote:
RHA’s goal in programming is to bring
residents together in a fun and safe
environment where all people can enjoy
themselves. It appears however, this program
is dividing people and would make for an
uncomfortable and possibly unsafe
environment for everyone attending or
providing the program. As a result, RHA has
decided to cancel the event.
In a statement to Campus Reform, a university
spokesperson said: “St. Thomas is a Catholic
university that welcomes students of all faiths
and cultures.”"

@WalkSoftly: Which race is a camel? Does that make me racist for smokin' Camels for 18 years before I quit? Is Australia racist for having feral camels? The only truly politically incorrect thing in the world is the bullsheet that politics produces. Had sex with a Persian woman and didn't call the next day. Does that mean I'm more than just a pig in general? Am I a RACIST PIG?
@BigPapaRedneck: Dont get me started on the Miami Dolphin that was forced to go to "sensitivity education" after tweeting about the Michael Sam draft pick. ..
@WalkSoftly:. He's a decent player. Doesn't matter if he's gay or not. In my opinion the guy who said it is an as shole. Those people predate political correctness. Was what he said insensitive? You bet. Does he need training on how not to be a peck erhead? Naw. People like that die out on their own. Acknowledge them and it gives them power.
Doesn't
matter if he's gay or not

On that note I'm glad the Rams put a kybosh on that project. He needs to focus on making the team first
Doesn't
matter if he's gay or not[/quoite] Then Michael Sam needs to quit taking offers from Oprah to be in a reality show abt the first gay football player....that sh!t works both ways.

[QUOTE=TheHBKbigred;479200]Theyre in a bit of a bind, dontcha think? What if he really isnt good enough to make the team? Do they cut him and face the wrath of the radical gay activists?
@WalkSoftly: Sam is a good player that's for sure. However the NFL is a different bred than what Missouri is. I feel that the media and human rights activists are really going to go after the Rams if they cut him. I didn't see Oprah going after Jason Collins when he became the first active gay athlete. What makes Michael Sam better?
Because hes the current poster boy for all things liberal atm......plus, he kissed his bf on live tv and they eat that sh*t up....Alls I know is that 4.9 40 is slow for a DE.....js
