    evil?
    There was no need for him to resign, all he had to do was address a campus issue with some sincerity, case closed in my opinion.

    You know the deal. People can't apologize and try to do better these days. They have to quit or be fired. This was the only way it was going to go down.

    You didn't, how could you not? Someone claimed racism, these days that means you clean house before you even investigate anything.

    It's a sign of the times. You don't try to find out who's right or wrong and you don't try to fix the problem. If a black person screams racism you have to can white people or they'll burn that bitch down.

    Is it? What just happened? Someone claimed they were called a bad word and the university president was forced to resign before the the university suffered consequences.

    its much more than that, but why bother explaining anything to you. There is no middle ground for you. Racism cant exist, it never happened. Or its it doesnt matter if it happens with you, you dont care about it because its not happening to you and therefore, its not happening to other people.

    Either way, its hyperbolic non sense.
    The guy shouldnt have to resign before any solution or findings, but according to you, its just someone claiming a figment of imaginations.

    I agree with this. His response at the parade was mostly responsible for turning an ember into a fire.

    Things about this that are frustrating:
    The student on the hunger strike is in the Master's program. He got his undergrad at Mizzou. Why stay?
    If the Tigers record was 9-0 instead of 4-5, they wouldn't be doing this protest
    Pinkel may have seen the writing on the wall and decided to join to save his job
    Knowing that some folks fight for their life every day makes me pissed that someone is willing to give theirs up for a cause that is "just" but certainly not worth dying for.
