Racism rears its ugly head

He was free to say it but he's also free to suffer the consequences.

You're making our point for us. You're not very good at this.

Agreed, swastika is an old symbol but since WW2 usually associated with Nazis. Or should all of the supposedly racist symbols be ignored if they had previous meanings? That would make liberal heads explode.

if there are consequences then speech is not free.

Only legally speaking.

No I'm just making the point that the symbol without any racist comments associated with it could have been spray painted by a hindu promoting their religion.

It was written in human feces. Which someone pointed out could have a deeper meaning. Such as nazism is crap.

I don't understand is why a bunch of old white guys are so upset about this and it doesn't really affect them at all.

That is a racist statement.

I want to know why young black kids are willing to give an old white guy so much power as to expect him to completely control 70 thousand college kids?

I think that bunch of young black kids just shows you how much power they have.

I think the media proved how powerful it can be more than anything.

The media is just a tool the power comes from people willing to stand up for themselves and others.

Oh JFC.....people are outraged over Halloween costumes?? Seriously???
I'm so sick and tired of the "outrage". If it isn't over an "offensive" costume, it's parents whining that their neighbors are handing out Snickers bars and their kid has a peanut/gluten/lactose/chocolate allergy and waaaah. Poor little Jimmy can't enjoy his candy...let's petition the neighborhood to hand out tofu bar's instead. Ugh.

My friend and I were gonna dress up as Bill Cosby and Subway Jared....which would have been hilariously "outrageous". Picture Bill with "powdered sugar" covered pudding cups....and an 8year old girl dressed up as Jared's girlfriend.

And if the kids who received her treats were anything like my kids, the "treats" would have ended up in the trash. Lol.

She had both. So it was only for parents or kids that asked for them but enough with the we have to please everyone. .

Yep. If your kids have allergies, health issues, or whatever don't take them trick or treating. Whatever happened to doing what's best for the majority?

The happy majority will never cause the fuss that the unhappy minority will.
