I suppose Education is the appropriate category for this modern day snowflake silliness. Me dino did first consider Humor and News as options.
Has anyone in the Gulch ever heard of a banana as a fruit used to demean black people?
Only one fruit comes to my long time a Deep South resident dim dino mind and I now actually feel hesitant to write it.
So do I dare?
Well, of course, I dare. I'm the dino.
It's still scary, though.
Okay, here it comes.
I'm taking deep breaths now.
Oh, this is so scary.
I'll--I'll cuh-cuh-count to thru-thru-three.
One. Two. Three--GO!
A WATERMELON!

    It may have been intentional, but it is just button pushing if it is. Big problem is it immediately validates the control the flakes have established, one little "offense" can get anything changed, stopped, started. Next up is "The conservatives scare me", Poof. Banned from campus. The Colorado thing was almost the same type of deal, but was directed at vets, and was a faceless thing, but take it to OLe Miss and have a black Sorority nimrod whine, and Poof, all vets, OFF CAMPUS, you are scaring the little ones....

    Nope, it really happened: The president of one sorority told the newspaper that "bananas have historically been used to demean black people." This has gotten so frigging out of control, it is almost sick making now. At first their little "I'm offended" ws funny, but now it is getting to the point of lunacy, and THEY BELIEVE IT. I am getting tired of saying "MLK, MLK, character, character..get over the color crap" It's like you cannot say or do anything without little looters showing up telling you why you owe them for anything and everything.....

    It still was irrational, ridiculous, immature and an absolute failure for the school to even respond to this. pure, unadulterated BS.

    I am so DONE with the entitled black culture. So many black people are entitled now that I am feeling a desire to just avoid black people altogether. I think Obama created this massive increase in entitlement unfortunately in the population at large and especially in the black culture.

    I think it’s time for each black person to just get over what happened to their granddaddy and great granddaddy and get on with life today

    Call me racist, xenophobic or whatever. I prefer some cultures and dislike others and don’t see anything wrong with it. Generalizations and profiling is simply a tool to more efficiently and effectively interact with large numbers of strangers.

    Wow, I'd have thought they'd have tried to dry it out and smoke it (at least once).

    1997 In a taped interview that was shown on CNN , Zoeller called Woods a ''little boy'' and urged him not to request fried chicken and collard greens at next year's Champions Dinner at the Augusta National Club. In an initial apology on Monday, and again yesterday, Zoeller said he was joking.

    Sergio and Woods had been feuding , Garcia asked if he would invite Tiger for dinner during the US open He said sure every night and have fried chicken for him.

    Didn't Tiger Woods flip out over Garcia invited him for some fried chicken after a golf match?

    Is it a first amendment problem or vandalism? That is the real question.

    If you go to that link and read through it, it turns out this isn't complete snowflake idiocy. There had been an incident at the same school where bananas were hung from trees in nooses. My guess is, the kid who hung the peel had that incident in mind and thought what he did was funny. And it would be, to anyone with a skin thicker than rice paper.

    It is funny. It is humor, BUT
    it is real.
    We have come to a point in this country where a banana peel is a threat to be taken seriously? It is, at best, an object of derision, not a symbol of racial hatred. We are becoming a nation of snowflakes who when getting a broken pinky finger stays home for two weeks until it is all better.A sidelong glance becomes a look of hatred. Whatever happened to America?

    I was raised in rural Virginia, in the days of segrega-
    tion. Not being black, I don't know how black people
    saw the fruit issue, but I was unaware of bananas
    being identified with black people. Watermelon,
    possibly. I was unaware of the banana issue until that news report came out.

    These are not snowflakes. They are barbarians, ignorant savages with clubs, out to hunt down the witches and kill anyone who knows anything not in their primitive world.

    With savages you have three choices; run, try to placate them or kill them. We have tried running, but they have followed as we have retreated. We are still trying placating. Soon they will give us no choice but to kill them.

    Sure looks like a parody, but there's a link to the Daily Mississippian in the Townhall article that makes it pretty clear it's real.

    Can someone please explain to me why I shouldn't think of our educational system as a non-functioning educational system (I use the words educational system in a very broad sense here). the teacher obviously doesn't know or understand that the earth or the creatures living on or in the earth would have done away with the banana peel quickly and the students (?) who saw it seem to live with a mind set that anything they see can be applied senselessly. welcome to the new teaching in the USA.

    If you haven't seen it, go watch "Remember the Titans." The banana reference is from one of the coaches bragging about how his team was going to destroy the integrated squad, referencing the blacks as a bunch of monkeys. After the game, the coach (Denzel Washington) hands the braggart - and losing - coach a banana when shaking hands.

    I shudder when I enter a bakery as I know I will encounter white bread. Sheesh and some of it is enriched .Maybe that is what white privileged is.
    Now I am hungry for corned beef hash with eggs over easy and a little Caucasian sauce.

    There's a fruit store on our street
    It's run by a Greek.
    And he keeps good things to eat
    But you should hear him speak!
    When you ask him anything, he never answers "no".
    He just "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough
    He tells you
    "Yes, we have no bananas
    We have-a no bananas today.
    We've string beans, and onions
    Cabbageses, and scallions,
    And all sorts of fruit and say
    We have an old fashioned to-mah-to
    A Long Island po-tah-to
    But yes, we have no bananas.
    We have no bananas today."
    Yes we have no bananas we have no bananas today we have snow flakes and fools .

    Universities are devolving from higher education to nurseries . Coddling these cry babies does nothing to prepare them for the real world where people don't give a shit what color anyone is , it is what value can you bring to the table.

    In that guy's place, me dino would be sorely tempted to ask, "Have you people gone bananas?" just to enjoy the wails and gnashing of snowflake teeth.
    Then I suppose George Soros would pay Antifa to come beat me up.

    I wonder what they think of fried chicken, possum jowls and pigs feet?..not to mention, a couch and refrigerator on the front lawn, cotton or a numbered 'T' shirt on the wall...Maybe just being a southerner means your a different race...what will they think of next.

    It would be appropriate if they thought of democrats in government as a different race...they are nothing like the rest of us, parasitically inclined, can't learn squat, hate real history.

    That seems to be more of a difference than a minuscule amount of a chemical that determines one's skin color.

    No, I haven't watched the news in about 24 years. The reporting in 1993 on Waco cured me of my addiction to government propaganda.
    At least 50% of the voters were smart enough to reject Hitlery. They had to reject the propaganda to do that. As for the other 50%, they get "all due respect."

    Yes, they can. I'm sure that you watch the news, so you know how really dumb this country is getting.

    So when I go to the grocery store the next time, I'm going to have a type written note ready to put on the banana display. It will say, "Beware! Purchasing bananas is racist. Buy watermelon instead." Of course the snowflakes will see no humor in this. I hope that Meijer's has a safe place for them.
