News Jog 10/11/07

The Jog has a hard time taking this first story (linked below) at face value. It seems incongruous at so many levels. Are there really racists who hang nooses from black professor's doors in the Ivy League? We can't help but have our doubts about all of this- it seems too weird. And what are the students gathering and protesting against... the college... America? Has anyone of authority actually sanctioned the hanging of nooses on college campuses? Excuse our bias but if this had happened in Mississippi it would seem more authentic. Let's get something straight, racism has an inverse relationship to intelligence. The more racist you are- the less intelligent you are. It's really that simple. This country should be past this by now. If you're reading this and you have racist thoughts rolling around your head- take a look in the mirror and get a good idea of what a moron looks like. You'll also be looking at one of the only things that's wrong with this great country. You didn't choose your race. God doesn't favor your race. It's time for everyone to just shut up about race.
