humorous antics of college kids. it feels that these misguided antics have such an impact. i want to bring in ashley judd s piece. she tweets about, you know the other team can kiss her ass because, you know something about free throws or some other such thing. and the responses aren t just nasty and mean they are violent threats against her. it s a crazy internet culture that we live in. i m a hard core usc trojan so i can relate to all of this because i went to a school where sororities and fraternities are very prevalent. but when has the internet gone too far? when has it gone too far? i don t blame her. on the one hand it s the internet but the oar hand that it s manifests in all these places is the internet is the tool that brings us.
from buzzfeed. tell me just a little bit for folks what haven t read it yet what it s about. well the essay is about myself at school that really does exist. i was there from 2000 to 2004. it s just about what it s like to be a student of color on a campus where there are so many of the trappings of the confederacy. one was school tradition, there s a dormitory that s still named after jefferson davis who was an alumni there and there was a fraternity that had lots of confederate flags hanging out on campus. it s just about what it was like to try to go to school and focus on school but also feel really unsafe and unwelcome. and i d like to say that my story is both common but not so common because obviously not a lot of schools i would hope i guess i can t provide proof of this but i would hope there aren t a bunch of confederate flags on campuses than not. i have attended or taught at a lot of southern universities.

appeared on the news stands in starbucks stores and it included a fill in the blank test meant to get the race conversation started among family and friends. it s been a while since i ve given a pop quiz on the show so why don t we all just take the starbucks racial reality check together. nerdland, get your pencils ready. number one, my parents had blank friends of a different race. okay. number two, i have blank friends of a different race. number three, my children have blank friends of a different race. number four blank members of a different race live on my block or my apartment building. i most often talk to someone of another race at work church home shopping school. only church huh, not places of worship. interesting. in my facebook stream blank percent are of a different race.
talk, like as a leader of the conversation, but i so prefer that over don t you dare talk. right exactly. i think that s a very very common reaction for any university to have because your reputation is a big money getter for you. you want people to think that you are a very very great campus. by the way, i do want to point out transylvania is a very very good school educationwise. i met some beautiful, beautiful people there. however, there were a lot of things that were not handled the right way as far as listening to students when they say hey, i don t feel safe. this is not specific to me or transylvania or kentucky or the south as the sae video showed us. but this is about students of color on white campuses all over the place. my hope you know it s kind of annoying to me to sort of champion the starting of conversations. after that conversation starts that s real cool but what do you do afterwards? but the biggest advantage that i feel that we can get from this story is final
