Wow what a shit article.

Are we trying to bestow the “privilege” white people enjoy to others by cancelling The Eyes?
Ideally I think we want to make sure everyone enjoys the rights that many of us take for granted. It has been mentioned in posts above that many of the athletes come from a negative position in life relative to white people and that need be fixed.
I’m not sure how removing a song will do that.

but wait, I was just told that the lawyer said that the "passed out drunk narrative was false" and we shouldn't be entertaing this discussion anymore because you know lawyers much like cops and politicians NEVER lie. If a lawyers lips are moving he or she is lying.
What if the lawyer is typing?

Posting this again so it's not on the bottom of the previous page.
It’s worth reading the twitter thread.

Aaand another draconian displacement this morning kicking 1500+ pilots out of their seats. This from the same guy who said we'd be grabbing market share on the back side of this. Cuts way beyond what our peers are doing.
I survived the first two rounds, but I'm hanging on by a thread. Won't survive a third round. Eight years in the left seat probably gone. Poof. Beats bidding Home Depot. Full pay last day, no give backs ever. Public fuck you Scooter. Those AA boys warned us.
Damn. A few years back I debated whether I should make flying more than a hobby. I decided to keep it a hobby and kind of regretted it until now.

No, i'm clear. The words of the song are not racist. The subtext is that the author penned a song for the university and its president. The context is that the non racist song was presented to that president at a racist gathering. That is how far we have to stretch to connect the song to racism.
I’m with you. My facetiousness doesn’t always translate.

No one denied it was performed at that show. It is fact that it was! So what.
The proceeds of that show supported athletics. Should we shut down the athletic dept?
The athletic dept didn't even recruit blacks until the 60's, actually being racist. Again, should we shut it down? The origin is racist.
The university held minstrel shows. Should we shut down the whole university?
The university still had marble back stops to the black water fountains in some of the older buildings until the late 90's. Should we tear those down?
And on and on....So what that it was introduced at that show? What was the intent?
Do you know that blacks performed at minstrel shows. They even had their own troupes mocking how ridiculous and easily amused whites were. Are they racist?
That song was written for the president who, they knew, would be attending that show. It was NOT written as a joke or to be racist.
You are not getting it.
Words matter. But when they don’t it’s the subtext that matters. But when it’s not that it’s the context that matters.

The article calls them demands, it's quite easy to read the source material yourself and draw your own conclusion.
That’s fair. Immamac seems pretty clear that they aren’t demands. He must have inside knowledge some of us don’t.
I think a dialogue would be great and some posters here have presented some good ideas. You just have to get through all the drivel first.

Honestly we should until it gets to the point where it's no longer logical. There are absolute paths logically to understanding each and every single one of the requests from the student body, they are well organize and respectful in their request.
These weren't demands, they were requests, and reasonable ones at that. If you think these were demands then IDK what to tell you.
Wait they aren’t demands? Just need to make sure what I’m reading elsewhere is false or misconstrued.

Life would be a lot simpler if I adopted the fallacy that every idea or policy is either racist or anti-racist.
I could then write witty one sentence retorts to people who don’t view the world that way and look down at them with contempt.

The DEN leg of my flight to JAC was upgauged to a 753 from an A319. Seems like people are starting to fly again.

I have worn a mask once and that was to get a haircut. But I also haven’t gone out to any restaurants, grocery store, retail store, or any other type of inside public place since March.
I don’t like wearing one so I’ll just keep to myself. Not too difficult.
Next time I wear a mask will be on a plane.

I lived in the Heights for 3 years dude. It’s one of the most whitewashed neighborhoods in the whole city, save for the enclave cities like West U or Southside Place.
Whites pushing out all minority “holdouts” as fast as possible in the name of rapid gentrification. That’s the Heights.
Wrong dude. Gentrification skipped over The Heights and is only happening north of 610 in Independence Heights. Know Houston better.

No clearly the mob has spoken and it doesn't matter what individuals think about anything anymore. It's just a fascist way of thinking and acting.
Stop feeding the political hack and troll. He gets off on his witty one liners that add no value to anything.

I enjoy the people who mock today's culture as overly sensitive and easily offended, and then a minute later they lose their fucking shit at the mere suggestion that they might not get to sing a song with everyone else at the next football game.
That’s deep and I agree. The term snowflake never made sense. They won’t stop until you lose your job. Ask the latest unemployed editors.

And if African American Alumni don’t agree with this interpretation of the song they don’t get a voice? If one individual feels something is racist other voices don’t matter? We have no more rooms for debate?
It is 2020 those are the rules.

Spelling.
I trust Art very little. But if he is wrong on this he is done. Unlike other things (like no knock raids) which can be controlled and the narrative set I’m not sure how the facts don’t come out on this apparent suicide if Art is lying.
@Hugo Stiglitz you are the expert apparently. So please enlighten us.
Or even better. Stop posting.
